Trump Exempts Oil

The Trump administration's God Squad voted to exempt Gulf of Mexico oil and gas activities from Endangered Species Act protections, threatening Rice's whale.
Environmental groups, including the Sierra Club, filed legal challenges arguing the move prioritizes industry profits over wildlife conservation.
