A year before the March explosion at a Port Arthur oil refinery, the Trump admin removed public access to the facility's risk management plans. A new proposed rule would further limit info on chemical hazards.

Like other federal agencies that deal in science, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been through the Trump administration wringer. Amidst the chaos, some former employees are trying to protect scientific integrity from future political assault.

A wonderful new resource on disappearing data under the second Trump administration:
Trump's EPA claims “the strongest enforcement and compliance results in years.” But three independent groups’ analyses show a record plunge in the agency’s enforcement of the US laws protecting human health & the environment. Thanks to @envirodgi.bsky.social for tracking what's happening at EPA.

Seeing each entry listed one after another is staggering, but the truth is no one person / org can track it all. @envirodgi.bsky.social @datarescueproject.org @eotarchive.org and PLENTY of others have been doing the deep, painstaking work of tracking and preserving critical data.

EPA deleted information on the hazards of the extremely toxic gas Ethylene Oxide (EtO) on the same day it announced a proposal to weaken EtO regulations. Read more in our website monitoring team's new blog: envirodatagov.org/epa-removes-...

Last week, EPA finally released its 2025 fiscal year enforcement report, with a press release announcing the “strongest ... results in years.” EDGI added context and data to the press office’s misleading statements. Read our annotation: envirodatagov.org/epas-enforce...

Nice quote from the Archive's @rsanta.bsky.social in a new article from Inside Climate News

EPA’s press office claims enforcement under Trump protects “human health & the environment like never before. But the EPA’s own data shows a dramatically different trajectory.”
In fact, EDGI’s report shows that by many important measures, enforcement in 2025 hit a 20 year low. bit.ly/4sjU4TH

“It is hard to say there’s nothing we can do about [climate change] when the data show otherwise. It is hard to convince people of a lie when there is data that shows the truth. And the Trump administration knows this.”

Very cool to see the @nsarchive.bsky.social’s work on disappearing climate data featured in @postopinions.bsky.social!
I’d also point readers to the excellent work of @envirodgi.bsky.social and @publicenvirodata.bsky.social, the experts in environmental data preservation!
