Good for her. Id flip ‘em the finger too. All they will do is throw a little hissy fit and say something really that shows they are really upset.
Nobody will take them seriously until their budget gets zeroed out. Its the only power congress really has.

The EPA chief knows the pit yorkies in the GOP won't do anything, so why not flip them the bird? Sorry, but until the GOP starts doing some things AND getting results, their words are just meaningless.

Don’t they hold the purse strings? Do they have any enforcement capability?

Maybe the timing will be just right, so the demagogue from the Vatican will be crossing the border as the water turns to poison.
