In honor of #EndangeredSpeciesDay, I'd like to remind you that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, who's responsible for overseeing the Endangered Species Act (ESA), is still being directed by Martha Williams.

Here's an unbiased article from the Associated Press concerning the ongoing dispute over the lack of Martha Williams' formal credentials, which is in breach of US code:
16 U.S.C. § 742b (2014)

On this #EndangeredSpeciesDay, we want to highlight a native species that you can help protect. Eastern box turtles are listed as vulnerable due to habitat loss, car collisions and people removing them to become pets. Please safely help them cross the road if you ever spot one.💚 https://t.co/S1xb7g7Nth
