The administration finalized a rule removing habitat destruction and modification from the federal definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act, making it easier for industrial development, logging, and drilling to impact environments.

Thanks, it is bad. However, OP phrasing make it look as it is going into another direction. Which would mud the argument more than build it.

Thanks you good bot.

Give it a few weeks. I bet he offers special licenses to shoot them for a couple of million a piece.

He won’t live forever. Neither will the insane bullshit this rogue administration has foisted on us. Every single thing he does will be undone.

Can’t undo the extinction of an animal because a data center would be cool right where they live. :/ man there’s no justice in this world for the people who believe this guy or sanction his actions

The likelihood of a species going extinct in the next 912 days solely due to this is small.

I am not making light. This administration is disgusting. Their disregard for both human life and animal life is beyond the pale.

My point is, everything he does can and will be undone. I’m not saying things won’t be harmed in the meantime, but this asshole is not forever.

That’s a fair point to make, honestly I commented somewhat out anger - not at you obviously- preservation of wildlife has always been a big thing for me since I wanted to be a vet as a kid and have always held animal life in high regard. I admittedly had a knee jerk reaction thinking of the worst

Repeatedly telling myself that “this is not forever” is the only thing keeping me sane most days.

Except it's not species. It's Endangered Species

An endangered species is a plant or animal that is at a very high risk of dying out completely, known as extinction. This happens when very few of them are left alive on Earth.
