EPA scientists worry it’s deja vu all over again: “I’m worried about the future because there are groups out there pushing for changes to the civil service that would make it so I could be fired and replaced with a non-scientist” @fastlerner @propublica propublica.org/article/epa-s…

During Trump’s first term, @fastlerner covered the EPA and the conflicts of interest of the political appointees running it.
This time around, Trump’s already told oil executives he’d roll back environmental rules and policies, including climate protections. Talk to her.
