This episode examines the EPA’s proposed change to the definition of waters of the United States, a shift that could remove federal protection from nearly half of America’s wetlands. We look at how the Supreme Court’s 2023 Sackett decision shaped the rule, why continuous surface connections now determine federal oversight, and what the loss of wetland protections means for flood control, water quality, biodiversity, and the communities that rely on these natural safeguards. #Politics #USNews #EnvironmentalProtection #CleanWaterAct #Wetlands #ClimateImpact #RegulatoryRollback #PublicInterest #Accountability #WaterRights #Biodiversity #FloodPrevention #InvestigativeBreakdown
