The Spin
Republican narrative
Lee Zeldin is protecting the environment without crippling the economy — unlike former Pres. Biden's approach. In line with Trump's pro-American agenda, these 31 actions will cut trillions in costs by slashing hidden taxes and boosting consumer purchasing power. By ending mandates like the EV push and Clean Power Plan 2.0, he's also saving jobs and energy while fostering innovation. This isn't abandonment — it's a sustainable balance for America's Golden Age.
Democratic narrative
Zeldin knows exactly what he's doing — committing an unprecedented assault on public health and environmental protection that, after decades of progress, will increase toxic emissions, worsen climate change, and disproportionately damage low-income communities. His changes ignore overwhelming scientific evidence and will lead to catastrophic environmental consequences. Lee Zeldin is supposed to protect the environment, not degrade it.
