"Reversing Trump" is always good to see in a headline

 

So here's that happy headline (and I should add, "reversing Trump" is especially great when it's an environmentally related story):


EPA broadens protections for U.S. waterways, reversing Trump

"Jon Devine, director of federal water policy for the Natural Resources Defense Council, meanwhile called the Biden rule “sensible, good-government action.”
And indeed it is.
"The environmental group and others estimated that Trump’s regulatory regime would remove federal protections from roughly half the nation’s wetlands and at least 1.19 million miles of rain-dependent streams and rivers. Biden’s rule would bring much of those wetlands and waterways back under EPA’s regulatory authority, though it would not go so far as Obama’s 2015 rule."
These constituents are very pleased by the new rule.
