@EPAAWheeler With the world reeling from a global respiratory pandemic, now is not the time to ease up oversight of polluters. EPA’s mission of safeguarding the public’s right to clean air, land & water is more important than ever. Please rescind the enforcement suspension.

Phosphate strip-mining company @Mosaic stock tumbles 4 points in one day, on news of #trumptradewar with China. @NYTimes reports that dueling tariffs will harm commodity farmers. Time to be looking at @RegenerativeAg for the future of agriculture.

Rick Scott vetoed House Bill 1149, aka the @ToilettoTap bill, in which partially treated #wastewater would have been injected directly into the #FloridanAquifer. #Whatweretheythinking???
