    The reports called on the EPA to take “appropriate corrective action” in response to the findings. In one case, the inspector general noted that supervisors who violate the Whistleblower Protection Act should be suspended for at least three days.

    The reports focus only on the retaliation claims. The inspector general is expected to issue reports in the future about the whistleblowers’ scientific allegations.

    Under the orange asshole’s reign.

    Don’t ever forget what Trump did, because he will do worse if he’s elected again.

      and don’t forget what Biden and the Democrats do

      Their allegations, which detailed industry pressure that continued under the administration of President Joe Biden and pointed fingers at career officials who still worked for the EPA, were the subject of a 10-part series I published in The Intercept.

      “It’s been four years since we first started raising concerns about what was happening, and we haven’t seen a resolution yet,” Gallagher said. “We haven’t gotten assurance that the concerns we’ve been raising will be fixed.”

      both parties are already bought by corporations

          It’s because on the surface it looks like the classic bullshit “both sides” claim. Where one side is clearly worse but they try to make it seem like both are similar.

          Not sure if this is different to be honest. The Rs have been trying to undermine the EPA for decades, there’s a long history there that shouldn’t be ignored even if recent D admins haven’t been great.

          I don’t have the time to do a deeper dive at the moment, likely others don’t want to even bother, so they just downvote since a good 90% of the time the both sides type responses are disingenuous.
