Mexico has fixed the Parallel Gravity Line that burst in Tijuana last weekend. The Trump Admin has been in constant contact with Mexico, pressing them to urgently complete those repairs, which are now done. The most important news is that by August, Mexico is slated to complete a full end-to-end rehabilitation of the Parallel Gravity Line on an accelerated timeline that the Trump Admin secured as part of the new binational agreement signed last July.

Big announcement today by @WellsFargo granting Los Angeles wildfire victims a one-year mortgage forbearance extension! This is so critical for a homeowner still displaced and simultaneously facing a mortgage payment and rental payment. The Trump EPA has been proudly working hard on this effort at President Trump’s direction even if it’s not something we typically do at our agency. https://t.co/nXuNxryDqR

Supporting American farmers means supporting American-made products and healthier communities. EPA is proud to support efforts to strengthen U.S. cotton production and help bring this critical industry back.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

The Great American Cotton Plan is about one thing: Putting American cotton first again.

Real “_____” wear cotton. 👖🌱

Americans. Cowboys. Farmers. Families. MAHA. Because cotton is real, natural, American-grown, and made by U.S. farmers.

Here’s the plan 👇

✅ Promote natural American-grown fibers over synthetic, plastic-based materials  
✅ Expand domestic cotton manufacturing and textile production  
✅ Increase export opportunities for U.S. cotton producers  
✅ Strengthen support for cotton mills and processors  
✅ Protect cotton growers from market volatility and adverse risk  
✅ Modernize facilities and expand production capacity  
✅ Support long-term profitability for America’s cotton farmers  

This is about rebuilding an industry that supports jobs, rural communities, American manufacturing, and our agricultural future.  

Plant, not plastic.

FACT CHECK: Claims that EPA has recently authorized the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes in the U.S. are FALSE.

✅ A previously issued Experimental Use Permit (EUP) expired in 2024.
✅ No releases are currently authorized in the US.
✅ EPA is not aware of any releases in the US following the expiration of the EUP.
✅ Any unauthorized release would violate federal law (FIFRA) and be subject to enforcement action.

EPA’s Assistant Administrator for Water knows leadership when she sees it! As Senior Response Officer for the Potomac Interceptor sewage spill, Jess Kramer credited President Trump for demanding swift and complete cleanup of the site to ensure communities were protected. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and coordinated actions taken by EPA and other partners, the Potomac has been restored to pre-collapse conditions well in advance of upcoming #America250 festivities in our nation’s capital.
