New York former Rep. Lee Zeldin will lead the Environmental Protection Agency in the new Trump Administration. He will replace Michael S. Regan as administrator. Zeldin must be confirmed by the Senate. He will likely ease some of the climate-change edicts that have come from the Biden-Harris Administration.
“It is an honor to join President Trump’s Cabinet as EPA Administrator. We will restore US energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, and make the US the global leader of AI. We will do so while protecting access to clean air and water,” Zeldin said in a social media post.
Tom Homan, former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, will be the “border czar” in the Trump Administration.
“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. “Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”
Trump also named one of his closest and longest-term top advisers, Stephen Miller, as his deputy chief of policy.
Rep. Elise Stefanik has been tapped by Trump to be his U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to reports. Stefanik, a staunch Trump supporter, won reelection to a U.S. House seat for New York State last Tuesday. If she leaves the House, it will make it more difficult to achieve a Republican majority. There are 204 Democrat seats to 214 Republican seats, with several, including Alaska’s, hanging in the balance.
Finally, some maturity, common sense and tough love back in our government. 🇺🇸
Appears a competent soul, but look, no piercing, tattoos, or anything other than a fully developed male. Now we have to hope, a dominate one able and willing to do the willing of President Trump’s direction.
Cheers,
Is it not true that Rep Stefanik’s political party (R) is entitled to provide the only candidates from which the New York governor must choose to replace her in congress? If not, then we would all be served better if she stayed in her current House position.
No. That might be the case for US Senator, but all US House replacements require a special election.
Lee Zeldin is a good pick for the EPA as he will not allow foreign mining permits in Alaska. Kick the foreigner’s
out, deport, deport, deport.
Hey 3rd G AK … Great to hear but what is your source of that info? I’d like to trust but verify.
Maybe you can convince your new boss to sign the ethics transition of power documents
If he doesn’t, he may never see power.
Well I hope he can undo the current looser administrations screw ups.
Outstanding. Environmentalist wackos are running for cover. A new eco sheriff has arrived and he ain’t friendly to the wackos.
There is not going to be a solid block of Republican House members going along with all of President Trump’s agenda, so the loss of Representative Stefanik’s unwavering support is a questionable decision by President Trump. She represents a solid red area of New York, but will her replacement be as supportive of President Trump’s objectives as she is? Also, until that seat is filled by an election, there is an empty seat in the House lowering the Republican majority numbers in an already very thin majority. I remember how much push back there was in 2017 for President Trump’s objectives in the House led by House Speaker Paul Ryan.
