Trump team eases EPA spending and posting limits
The Trump administration thawed its freeze on EPA contract and grant approvals totaling 3.9 billion dollars and partially lifted a media blackout with a trickle of news releases. Critics note the agency has not posted on its official Twitter since inauguration, with far less information than under Obama. The Associated Press reported Trump appointees directed staff to seek prior approval for news releases and social posts. The move unsettles state agencies relying on federal funds for environmental programs and cleanups.
