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
For over 40 years, EPA’s Superfund cleanup work has been a bedrock agency program that gets to the heart of our core mission. Today, @epa_fotouhi unveiled EPA’s new Superfund Solutions initiative, a fresh and streamlined approach to accelerating cleanups of contaminated sites nationwide, including the more than 1,340 Superfund sites on the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL).

🚨Today marks a major step forward in advancing our core mission to protect human health and the environment: I am proud to announce EPA’s new Superfund Solutions initiative! This long-term plan aims to eliminate process challenges and bureaucratic delays that have stood in the way of progress on cleaning up contaminated sites for YEARS. Now, the Trump EPA is charting a new course forward to deploy gold-standard science, enhance project management, expedite decision-making, and deploy innovative tools to deliver clean air, land and water for all Americans.

Watch as EPA Region 7 Administrator Jim Macy speaks with Dawn Chapman and Karen Nickel of @JustMomsSTL about progress at the West Lake Landfill Superfund site.
Packed day in NYC today advancing the Trump EPA's priorities!
🎤 Delivered keynote remarks this morning at the 3rd Annual Conference on PFAS Regulation, Compliance and Litigation-- highlighting ongoing efforts to combat PFAS and protect human health.
🤝 Met with the exceptional @EPAregion2 leadership to discuss ways to continue Powering the Great American Comeback.
🚰 Sat down with @WasteDive to describe the agency's targeted efforts to tackle PFAS and safeguard drinking water for communities throughout the country.
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.
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.
Memorial Day is a solemn reminder that freedom is never free. Today, we honor the brave American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
We remember our fallen warriors, pray for their loved ones and Gold Star Families, and give thanks for those who gave everything.
God Bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
🗞️News outlets across the country are highlighting the Trump EPA’s actions to revise Biden-era refrigerant rules and lower costs for American families and businesses.
⭐ EPA Employee Spotlight ⭐
Meet Devon Jenrette, a Grants Project Officer in @EPARegion4's Water Grants Administration Section.
Devon works with states across the southeast region to process applications for clean water and drinking water projects through the State Revolving Fund, Emerging Contaminants in Small and Disadvantaged Communities program, and the South Florida Program.
She recently completed a two-year project, working with EPA colleagues and state partners to construct more expansive water systems, raising the quality of public drinking water. Devon played an integral role positioning the funding needed for this project.
When not at work, you can find Devon cooking gourmet meals.
Thank you for serving our country and making a difference at EPA and beyond!
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.
Thanks to President Trump and @epaleezeldin, the Trump EPA’s revision to the Biden Era Refrigerants Rule will save Americans $2.4 BILLION, lowering grocery costs and delivering regulatory relief to American businesses. https://t.co/AWWFRF0kNr

It was great joining @TMSPrestonScott to discuss my travels in Florida and refocusing EPA’s efforts on contaminated site cleanups across the country. After years of regulatory overreach and misguided priorities under the Biden Administration, the Trump EPA is getting back to its core mission of protecting human health and the environment, tackling contaminated sites head-on, and overhauling burdensome regulations to ensure reliable and affordable energy production can thrive right here in the USA. Listen to my full interview here:

🚨UPDATE: Mexico has completed repairs to the leak in Tijuana's Parallel Gravity Line (PGL). All pumps are back online, and flows are back to normal.
Critically, NO transboundary flows reached the U.S. thanks to proactive @EPA & @USIBWC action ensuring Mexico quickly made every necessary repair. This section of pipe will be fully upgraded and new by this July, as part of the Trump EPA’s 2025 MOU.
EPA was just notified that, to repair an unexpected leak in Tijuana’s Parallel Gravity Line, Mexico was forced to shut down pump stations along the border last night. As a result, millions of gallons of wastewater are flowing into the Tijuana River. Mexico estimates their repairs will take 24-36 hours. As of the last report we received, the recently expanded South Bay treatment plant was treating approximately 75% of this wastewater flowing today into the river. The U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) is taking proactive measures to mitigate sediment and trash flows to ensure critical infrastructure in the area isn’t damaged. The USIBWC is also in communication with Mexico about the repairs and demanding this work be instantly completed. Mexico began rehabilitating the Parallel Gravity Line last November and they expect to complete construction in July 2026 as part of the 100% solution Mexico and the United States agreed to and signed last year. The good news is that Mexico has otherwise been rapidly constructing several agreed upon Mexico side infrastructure projects that were part of recent international agreements with the United States. These projects, scheduled to be completed in 2026, 2027, and one in 2028, are imperative to permanently end this decades-long crisis.
