Despite Being Warned, NJ Democrats, Environmental Groups, And Media Totally Ignored The Threat of Trump’s Project 2025
They’re All Now “Shocked” By Trump’s EPA Appointment And Rollback Agenda
NJ Attorney General’s “Challenge” Is Too Little And Far Too Late
Social Media Posts Are Lame And A Fake “Resistance”
NJ Spotlight tells us today that NJ Attorney General Platkin has joined the “Trump Watch” “resistance”:
And that “reporting” of the “Trump resistance” is based on the AG’s “social media posts”.
Excuse my French, but, are you fucking kidding me?!
AG Platkin, Governor Murphy, and DEP Commissioner LaTourette have done absolutely NOTHING to inform the public about the threats of Trump’s policy agenda, as laid out in detail in 900+ pages in Trump’s Project 2025 Report, which was issued as a Trump Transition Plan almost 2 YEARS ago.
They have done virtually NOTHING to expose Trump’s Project 2025 rollback agenda on climate and environmental protections.
Instead, they spent months issuing dozens of self promotional and highly partisan press releases praising the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act projects in NJ.
Environmental groups could have issued Reports and held press conferences to educate and inform the public about the threats of Project 2025. Instead, they did nothing but cheerlead for Governor Murphy and DEP Commissioner LaTourette.
The DEP could have issued technical Reports about the content on the environmental policy recommendations in Project 2025. Instead, they did nothing at all.
NJ Democratic Legislators could have held hearings to solicit critical testimony on Project 2025 and its threats to NJ’s environment. But they did nothing.
NJ media could have written stories that exposed the contents of Project 2025. They too did nothing.
I specifically warned all these people about the threats of Project 2025 almost 18 MONTHS ago.
I wrote letters to DEP Commissioner LaTourette, Senate environmental leaders, environmental groups and media.
Dear Commissioner LaTourette:
I write to give you a heads up and urge you to read the Heritage Foundation’s recent initiative called “Project 2025”. It is explicitly designed to “dismantle the administrative State”. FULL REPORT HERE:
Chapter 13 provides a radical agenda to dismantle EPA and virtually all regulatory, science, and climate programs – read it here:

I strongly urge you to get out in front of and do everything within your power to derail this freight train. This includes a strong public defense and expansion of regulatory programs, which is something both you and Gov. Murphy consistently either fail to defend or overtly run away from (“we’re not mandating ….” et al).
I followed that letter up with several specific analyses of the contents of Project 2025 and the radical Trump agenda, see:
I don’t know if its incompetence, cowardice, or corruption – or perhaps all three – but these lame bastards should be ashamed of themselves.
The fact that they are now attempting to be forming a “Trump resistance” literally makes me sick to my stomach.
