    America First Policy Institute
    
    The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit think tank that was founded in 2021 to promote former U.S. President Donald Trump's public policy agenda. The organization was founded by Brooke Rollins, who serves as president and CEO and was formerly the acting director of the United States Domestic Policy Council under Trump, and Larry Kudlow, who serves as vice chair and formerly served as the Director of the National Economic Council under Trump. The chairperson of the organization is Linda McMahon, who formerly served as Administrator of the Small Business Administration under Trump and then as chairwoman of America First Action, a pro-Trump Super PAC. According to Politico, the group is often described as a "White House in waiting". The group produced a document about its vision, which includes "job creation and low unemployment, expansion of affordable housing, eradicating Covid-19, reducing federal bureaucracy, cracking down on crime and illegal immigration, passing congressional term limits, and ending foreign war and reliance on China." As of 2023, AFPI had 172 employees, including eight former...

  Trump picked Lee Zeldin to lead the EPA. What will that mean for environmental policy?
  https://grist.org/article/donald-trump-lee-zeldin-epa-environmental-policy
  Expect:
  * deregulation justified as boosts for economy
  * platitudes [meaningless statements] about importance of clean air/water
  * Fox News interview: Zeldin talked vaguely about reversing slate of regulations “forcing businesses to struggle/sending American jobs overseas“ 🤔
