The incoming Trump administration about a year ago sparked an employee exodus from the Environmental Protection Agency, and the regulatory rollbacks the new administration brought with it are being touted:

NOW they’ve gone and done it! That poster’s guaranteed to spark some serious hyperventilating:
They should take the P out of EPA.

Gosh it must be awful to work there now. And justice and just about anywhere in the Federal Govt except for Robert Mueller's team. Don't let it wear you down. Hold it together for 9 more months — like birthing a new baby!

More tax dollars wasted. These aren’t epa achievements. They are trump administration setbacks.

.@EPAScottPruitt – you left off a few:
✔️An administrator who does everything polluters tell him to do.
✔️Wasted money on a secret phone booth for a paranoid "leader"
✔️Remove most mentions of climate on EPA websites https://t.co/JTnXoIKHzO— Sierra Club (@SierraClub) January 25, 2018

Wow. What a slap in the face for the @EPA staff who are actually devoted to the agency's mission of protecting the environment. Where is the "environmental achievement" in opening up our air and water to pollution? https://t.co/Ak5epR9in6

What a fucking slap in the face to the people who work there who devoted years of their lives to developing the protections this administration is undoing. https://t.co/YqAqG4BiXV

Where’s the head count for the people made sick or killed by all of this success? No place it would fit on the sign?

I feel for @EPA staff. And I feel for the American people who have to deal with an administration that doesn't care about protecting public health and the environment. https://t.co/NgrYpDqRyk

Assholes! Bragging on allowing polluters to kill us and our environment. They are monsters. Do they not realize it will kill their kids too? https://t.co/o3JlF91u0T

The level of malevolent corruption aimed at destroying our air, land, water, and health is overwhelming. All for money for corporations. I hope we can recover from @EPAScottPruitt .

It’s almost like regulations implemented by unilateral presidential decree are only destined to be reversed the same way.
