Once again, the Biden regime is taking aim at its political enemies, and this time in one of the cruelest, most vile ways.

On Tuesday, the regime put forward measures that could greatly reduce water resources in seven western states due to the severe drought conditions that have persisted for decades.

As reported by Fox News, the Department of the Interior (DOI) has proposed two potential actions to tackle the declining water levels in the Colorado River Basin. The proposals involve federally mandated supply reductions for states that heavily rely on the river system, which serves over 40 million Americans and is crucial for the economies of western states. However, the DOI's focus is on ensuring a sustainable future for the Colorado River Basin, and by 'sustainable' that means the regime is more worried about environmental issues than the economic survival of mostly conservative states.

"Failure is not an option," Tommy Beaudreau, the DOI's deputy secretary, said in a statement. "Recognizing the severity of the worsening drought, the Biden-Harris administration is bringing every tool and every resource to bear through the President's Investing in America agenda to protect the stability and sustainability of the Colorado River System now and into the future."

The 1,450-mile Colorado River not only provides water to millions of Americans but also supports 5.5 million acres of agricultural lands, generates electricity for millions of residents through hydroelectric dams, and has significant recreational and ecological uses, the outlet reported.
