The NESE Pipeline is a MASSIVE win for New Yorkers! Once again, the Trump Admin is delivering affordable and reliable natural gas to millions of Americans. This is what UNLEASHING ENERGY DOMINANCE looks like ⚡ @ENERGY @Interior
Lee Zeldin@epaleezeldin

2.3 MILLION homes in New York City and on Long Island will soon have access to affordable natural gas thanks to President Trump and the new NESE Pipeline. This is a HUGE win for New York, for US energy dominance, and for common sense. Next up: New York needs to urgently get behind Constitution Pipeline so natural gas can also be delivered to MILLIONS of New Englanders as well!

EPA’s Jess Kramer nailed it! ALL Americans should feel confident in the safety standards of our nation’s drinking water. On the MAHA Action call, she details how @HHSgov joined @EPA in our announcement last week to add microplastics and pharmaceuticals as a priority contaminant group to our Contaminant Candidate List—ensuring that gold standard science and radical transparency drives future research, funding, and decisions necessary to protect communities from harmful contaminants. 💪

ICYMI: Coverage across America detailed last week’s MAHA win following EPA and HHS’s action to protect American communities from microplastics, pharmaceuticals and other hidden contaminants in drinking water.
David Fotouhi@epa_fotouhi

The Trump EPA is prioritizing safe drinking water for every American. Yesterday, @epaleezeldin and @seckennedy announced new steps this Administration is taking to safeguard our drinking water. By adding microplastics and pharmaceuticals as priority contaminant groups to EPA's Contaminant Candidate List for the first time ever, we are following the law and using gold standard science to drive research, funding, and future regulatory actions to address emerging threats in public water systems.

‼️MAJOR MAHA WIN ‼️ Alongside @seckennedy, EPA announced we are (for the first time EVER) designating both microplastics and pharmaceuticals as priority contaminant groups within our draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List. This MASSIVE action will ensure our nation's drinking water is protected from microplastics, forever chemicals, and many other contaminants. The Trump EPA's adherence to gold standard science is providing Americans with the answers they deserve about what their families and communities are drinking single every day. More here: epa.gov/newsreleases/e…

🚨Just announced with @SecKennedy: The Trump EPA is including microplastics and pharmaceuticals as priority contaminants on the agency’s Contaminant Candidate List. We have heard from millions of Americans who are concerned about plastics and pharmaceuticals in drinking water and we are taking action.   Our proposal, now open for public comment, also includes PFAS, disinfection byproducts, 75 individual chemicals, and 9 microbes that may be present in public drinking water systems. We will follow the science, pursue answers, and hold ourselves to the highest standards to protect the health of Americans. epa.gov/newsreleases/e…

Every farmer now has the Right to Repair their own equipment thanks to President Trump. It’s crazy that our talented farmers were being prevented from doing this previously. This announcement is about common sense. Farmers will be able to spend more time in the field and less money in the repair shop because of this important new EPA guidance.

Thank you, @epaleezeldin and @epa_fotouhi, for continuing to have the backs of American farmers. Ethanol saves money at the pump, putting more money in Americans’ pockets. #agweek

I just signed and announced a nationwide E15 and E10 fuel waiver to fortify U.S. fuel supply. This waiver ensures a robustly available supply of domestic fuel, providing Americans further relief at the pumps, and reducing our reliance on foreign oil. This means lower energy costs for ALL Americans—fulfilling President Trump’s Day One Executive Orders. epa.gov/newsreleases/e…
