The Trump admin's latest attack on endangered species is a memo saying that as long as you claim you didn’t mean to kill an endangered species, the law can’t and won’t stop you. It’s an absurd and illegal misreading of the Endangered Species Act. The @nytimes.com ’s The Daily podcast breaks it down.

The Trump Administration Defangs the Endangered Species Act
A new interpretation of the law would mean that only the intentional killing of animals, not collateral harm, would be illegal.

Because of well-documented health concerns, #atrazine has been banned in more than 60 countries. Yet the EPA is in the process of reapproving the use of this dangerous #pesticide in the US for at least another 15 years. Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4huL3CX
Image of a shallow, rocky river bed. Text centered over the image reads: "More than 70 million pounds of atrazine are sprayed on crops each year and it is the most widely detected pesticide contaminant in
U.S. rivers, streams and below-ground water supplies. It is a known hormone-disrupting pesticide linked to birth defects, multiple cancers, and fertility problems."
