Scratch away at almost any environmental controversy, and pretty soon you’re looking at big questions of democratic governance.’” #Politics #USPolitics #EndangeredSpeiciesAct #PublicComment https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/03/trump-god-squad-endangered-species-act-protections-gulf-offshore-drilling-whales-sea-turtles-extinction/
