ProPublica has identified dozens of instances in which the Trump administration’s DOT has moved to cut, weaken or delay safety regulations for cars, trucks, planes, trains and even oil pipelines.

Experts say the changes will cost lives.

@ProPublica He did that at the request of car, truck and plane manufacturers who don't want to spend the money to comply with the regulations.

@ProPublica I'm an engineer in one of these industries. An expert in compliance.

I used to get a bit excited when I would see notices of a PHMSA update.

Now my heart catches on my throat in fear.

@ProPublica It's all in the name of greater profits, enriching themselves and their friends, and screwing the public. They all need to be in jail.

@ProPublica What do the cameras do if you put multiple fake plates alongside the real ones? If they pick up all the plates, you could really mess with them with 8-10 copies of a plate out there registering physically impossible routes.

@ProPublica - Evidently these people "TrCO's Transportation Dept care for themselves and their pocket book instead of us consumers.
