What is Congress doing to the Endangered Species Act? (Jackie Flynn Mogensen)

In less than two weeks, Republicans in Congress have put forth 12 different measures aiming at loosening enforcement of the Endangered Species Act. As reported by Mother Jones assistant editor Jackie Flynn Mogensen, “on Thursday, the House passed an Interior appropriations bill that would  cut funding for environmental and science programs by $400 million, prohibit funding to introduce grizzly bears into the North Cascades (one of only five grizzly ‘recovery zones’) and remove the gray wolf from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife under federal law.” On this week’s TrumpWatch, Jackie describes multitude of ways that GOP lawmakers are attempting to loosen protections for animals facing extinction.
