BREAKING: The Trump administration voted to let Big Oil ignore every endangered species protection in the Gulf of Mexico.

In a single meeting, Trump's corrupt cabinet gave oil companies a free pass to kill endangered whales & sea turtles so they can drill without limits.

Image This is happening because Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invoked a never-before-used loophole in the Endangered Species Act.

He claims protecting endangered sea creatures in the Gulf is getting in the way of "national security." No administration, Republican or Democrat, has ever tried anything this sweeping and reckless.Image

On June 1, U.S. Park Police and other agents attacked peaceful protesters in front of the @WhiteHouse at #LafayetteSquare in Washington, D.C.

At our June 29 hearing, some Republican members dismissed how the agents used tear gas & beat unarmed civilians as no big deal. We’re holding a July 28 follow-up hearing to get to the bottom of who ordered that attack and why.

Acting U.S. Park Police Chief Gregory Monahan will testify.

Then we’ll hear from Adam DeMarco, a former Army officer & major in the DC National Guard. bit.ly/2OQBAZG
