An L.A. Times investigation uncovered a suppressed report detailing how a unique salmon run would be damaged by the Trump administration’s plans to deliver farmers water.

Federal officials suppressed a lengthy environmental document that details how one of California’s unique salmon runs would be imperiled by Trump administration plans to deliver more water to Central Valley farms.

The proposed changes in California water operations “will produce multiple stressors” on winter-run salmon “that are expected to reduce survival and the overall fitness of individuals,” the agency wrote. Adults leave the ocean and migrate upstream in the winter and early spring. During the summer, they historically spawned in cold, spring-fed rivers and streams in Northern California. But the fish lost access to those spawning grounds after the federal government constructed Shasta and Keswick dams on the upper Sacramento River in the 1940s.

LA Times, CNN, and the Democratic Party all say the half of the story that hurts Trump. Public needs to open their eyes. Water for farmers 👍

This is a return to the GWB policies. The Bush administration actually went ahead with these plans. 30,000 king salmon died in the Klamath river basin before they could spawn because there wasnt enough water. Meanwhile they flooded the farms. The enemy is incredibly stupid.

Have you Californians not learned anything from the DeltaSmelt issue?! Y'all have been in a continuous drought for decades, and it's literally affecting the lives of PEOPLE! Stop worrying about a species of fish for once. This crap is why y'all will be bankrupt within 20 years.

d_twit Thats a shame because Calis having a killer king salmon return this year. I think of offloading in San Francisco. Everything would be the same , but then I would go Out..

Let’s see water for farmers or a fish. I’ll take farmers who feed America.😎

This is total BS!!! Farmers = food... stop robbing farmers the water they need to produce crops for EVERYONE!

He’s trying to ruin everything the EPA and endangered species acts protect. Why? What’s in it for him?

Oh really? do you have any better ideas?🤔
