Friends,
You’ve heard a lot from me about the impact of the Trump deregulatory executive order.
The order is such a big deal that we sued the president.
Now, as we prepare to argue Public Citizen v. Trump before a judge in just a few days, I wanted to share with you some thoughts from a former regulator on the executive order.
Last week, Betsy Southerland — the director of science and technology in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Office of Water — resigned after a 30-year career at the agency.
In a moving public statement, she explained that to implement Trump’s order, “EPA will have to choose which Congressional law to ignore.”
“This poses a real Sophie’s choice for public health agencies like EPA.”
“Should EPA repeal two existing rules protecting infants from neurotoxins in order to promulgate a new rule protecting adults from a newly discovered liver toxin?”
Other former officials — the people who have had the responsibility of promoting energy efficiency, ensuring workplace safety, protecting endangered species — echo the point.
Government officials will face a terrible dilemma: adopt new protections or preserve existing ones.
So Betsy Southerland’s pointed question echoes throughout government.

So Betsy Southerland’s pointed question echoes throughout government.
- Should the auto safety agency repeal two existing vehicle safety standards in order to issue a new rule enabling cars to communicate with each other?
- Should the banking regulators repeal two existing rules on financial derivatives in order to issue a new rule ensuring that CEO pay doesn’t incentivize risky behavior?
- Should the FDA repeal two rules that protect us from listeria and salmonella outbreaks in order to issue a new rule on antibiotic resistance?
Those are all impossible, immoral choices.
Here’s the question we should be asking: Why in the world should we be making such choices?
Do we really have to choose between maintaining auto braking standards and auto safety upgrades?
No.
There is no trade-off between existing protections and new ones.
Except for the diktat imposed by the Trump deregulatory executive order.
And the only rationale for that order — and the broader Trump deregulatory agenda — is to make it possible for corporations to sell unsafe food and cars, to cheat and scam, to risk our lives at work, to pollute and despoil the planet.
All so they can make a quick buck.
At our expense.
So, there is a real choice we all have to make:
Do we let this happen?
Or do we fight?
I know which side you’re on.

Jerusalem shofar flash mob - image by Raissa HaCohen
At Rosh Hashanah Jews traditionally blow the shofar, commonly made from a ram’s horn or in Yemenite Jewish communities, from a kudu horn. Yet most ignore the secret of its deep significance and symbolism, which is taught by masters of the kabbalistic tradition to elite students only. (Celebrities supposedly studying kabbalah are not learning this, guaranteed.)
The shofar was also traditionally sounded by the children of Israel before they went to war. One of the plainer reasons is that its intense, penetrating blast shakes a person emotionally. It grabs them by the front of the shirt and hauls them off the ground, virtually demanding that those who hear it, repent - before the time of danger, before the time of judgment. You too can connect to this ancient tradition by owning your own shofar. We offer a range of shofarot,some of the most popular of which are on a 48-hour sale: |

Now I need listeners in blowing it!” - Steven H. |
