EPA and Director Lee Zeldin Places 144 Leftwing Nuts on Leave After Signing Anti-Trump Declaration

On June 30, 2025, nearly 300 current and recently terminated EPA officials signed a “declaration of dissent” outlining how President Trump’s ‘politicization of science’ and job cuts were undermining the notoriously far-left agency.  In their closed mines it is Trump who is ‘politicizing the science’ and not these radicals who have been pushing pseudo-science like global warming for years now.

Back in March, Director Zeldin canceled $22 billion in EPA contracts including $2 billion awarded to a Georgia’s Stacy Abrams in one of the shadiest government deals of all time. The Stacy Abrams’ group received only $100 in 2023 and then the Biden regime gave that same group $2 billion in 2024 on the way out the door in one of the shadiest and crooked government payouts of all time!

These righteous EPA officials apparently saw nothing wrong with $2 billion going to far-left hack Stacy Abrams, a woman who knows nothing about “environmental science”

The National Pulse reported on what happened next.

Nearly 300 current and recently terminated employees of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are rebelling against President Donald J. Trump, issuing a letter of dissent that declares concerns over the agency’s direction and alleges risks to public health and safety. The declaration, sent to Administrator Lee Zeldin, outlined five key issues, including the dismantling of the research office and the abandonment of far-left progressive environmental justice initiatives.

The letter, signed by 278 employees—174 of whom used their full names—criticized the administration’s approach to deregulation, alleging that it is harmful and dismissive of supposed scientific expertise. “Today, we stand together in dissent against the current administration’s focus on harmful deregulation, mischaracterization of previous EPA actions, and disregard for scientific expertise,” the group stated.

The agency’s reorganization includes consolidating several offices, dissolving the research division, and canceling billions of dollars in grants. Notably, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered a $14 billion scheme that saw taxpayer dollars funneled by the Biden-era EPA to an external account with Citibank, which disbursed the funds to three Democrat-aligned environmental nonprofits. The National Pulse previously reported that one of the nonprofit groups, which received $2 billion in grants, is affiliated with Georgia election denier Stacy Abrams.

The political stunt did not sit well with Director Zeldin.

Lee Zeldin placed the remaining leftwing nuts on leave later days later.

Thanks for outing yourselves, crazy leftists. Hopefully you’ll find work with some science-denying leftist group in the near future.

Oh… and when will Stacy Abrams be indicted and dragged to court over this multi-billion dollar, likely criminal scheme?
