Billions of gallons of irrigation water were wasted under Trump’s orders in what now appears to be a political stunt

I’m sorry, but the lede on this broke me to the point of uncontrollable laughter. This is just so profoundly stupid, I don’t think Monty Python at their peak could parody this.

It’s also a lot of water to waste in the West, which is unfortunate.

    Hey, @melp@beehaw.org … I know you’re new here and the post formatting can be hard to adjust to, but when quoting a story, you want to start each graf with a greater-than sign.

    This indicates that you are not the speaker, which quote marks alone do not convey (not to mention the double quote marks that resulted, making my editor side go ballistic).

      Oh weird. I used the formatting tool! I swear I thought it was like that when I closed the window.
