You were warned. Now it begins: The Chicago Tribune reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working on changes to its Web properties:

The EPA's extensive climate change website now redirects to a page that says "this page is being updated" and that "we are currently updating our website to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt." It also links to a full archive of how the page used to look on Jan. 19, before Trump's inauguration.

    Or do you think the EPA should be an independent agency and not accountable to the electorate?

    I think lots of folks here expect that agencies will be unaccountable when the accountability runs counter to their preferred religion -- oh, I mean 'societal and political system' [soylentnews.org].

    There are a few bits of the US government that serve all of the parties fairly well most of the time (the CBO for example), but too many of them threw in maybe a bit too much with one side over the past few years and forgot to stay useful to the opposition. All their eggs in one basket and all of that.
