Today is Endangered Species Day. Instead of upholding the Endangered Species Act, Trump's @USFWS wants to delete the word "harm” from the regulation, meaning no penalties for destroying critical habitat needed for survival & recovery-the largest rollback of ESA protections ever.

Accurate. The order also strictly applies to documents and maps produced by the US government. In reality, Google renamed the gulf, not Trump. The EO has fuck all to do with it.
Sheinbaum had warned Google, which is part of tech giant Alphabet, in February that she was considering legal action unless the company reversed its decision.

Her government argues that Trump's executive order on the subject only applies to the part of the continental shelf belonging to the United
