Summary

Trump’s EPA chief, Lee Zeldin, is attempting to seize $2 billion from a nonprofit coalition, including Habitat for Humanity, meant for building energy-efficient homes.

The funds, part of a $20 billion green grant program under Biden’s EPA, were placed in Citibank to prevent interference.

Zeldin, calling the move a “criminal scheme,” is pressuring Citi to return the money, citing “waste and abuse” without evidence and Democratic ties.

Despite GOP opposition, the coalition plans to proceed, aiming to build 72,000 homes, create 64,000 jobs, and cut energy costs by $1.26 billion. A congressional hearing is scheduled.

      You mean people that don’t have any logical arguments, thus only try to insult others and start left-wing in-fighting instead of trying to do something productive? I see your point.

        De-humanization is their schtick, so let’s not sink to their level.

        not start artificial fights with someone you basically agree with

        start left-wing in-fighting instead of trying to do something productive

        Fuck all of the way off. It’s non-stop hypocrisy from dipshits like you that make meaningful discourse here impossible.
