I assumed it was taking that line from the Matrix (which was itself an allusion to Alice in Wonderland) and applying it to deeply probing into the Trump presidency and seeing "how deep the rabbit hole goes". So in this case it would imply that shit explosions at the EPA are part of a pattern of changes caused by the Trump presidency. This particular occurrence probably would have occurred regardless of who was president, but it does seem to fit a general theme of environmental agencies being gutted to the point of working against what they used to work toward.
