The EPA and the Army Corps are rewriting which waters the Clean Water Act covers, and the proposal on the table would drop federal protection from wetlands and streams that lack a continuous surface connection to a larger waterway. Water does not honor that line. What gets dumped into a wetland the rule calls disconnected still shows up downstream in somebody's drinking water, and a wetland that gets filled stops holding floodwater that then ends up in basements and on roads. The comment window on the latest supplemental proposal closes October 9, 2026, and a definition written this narrowly will outlast the administration that wrote it — the last one took a Supreme Court case and three rewrites to settle. A protection this basic should not depend on which agency lawyers are in the building. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to defend Clean Water Act coverage for wetlands and headwater streams and to write that coverage into statute, where a rulemaking cannot quietly erase it.
