Later in the day at 15:03 UTC, he commented on environmental policy under the Trump administration: “The Trump EPA, led by @leezeldin, is taking a sledgehammer to Obama-era regulations. Love to see it. https://t.co/NKKn0VQMpW”. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has historically seen shifts in its regulatory approach between presidential administrations. Under President Trump, the agency moved to roll back or revise several regulations enacted during President Obama’s tenure.
At 19:59 UTC the same day, Mullin announced further confirmation votes scheduled for that evening: “At 7pm ET, we’ll begin another vote series to confirm Andrea Lucas as a member of @USEEOC, then advance Casey Mulligan as Chief Counsel for Advocacy, @SBAgov; David Woll for General Counsel at @HUDgov; and Nicholas Kent, Under Sec. @usedgov. https://t.co/tMYb5tT69z”.
