This reckless blanket repeal of safeguards on climate, health, and equity brazenly discards empirical evidence and moral responsibility in one fell swoop. By upending measures that protect at-risk communities, curb environmental risks, and bolster government ethics, it abandons the very pillars that keep a society secure and prosperous. When leadership forsakes transparent data-driven decision-making in favor of ideological posturing, the result is fewer checks on abuse, weaker resilience against crises, and a dangerous normalization of discriminatory practices—all under the guise of “restoring common sense.”
