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.

    Trump was apparently deeply offended by the timing of Carter’s death and the fucking manchild can’t let it go.

    So let me guess this straight. The Trump organization is busy stealing billions of dollars from taxpayers. Then somehow 1.5 billion of crypto is stolen by North Korea… Like… Really?

    A congressional hearing will only amplify the lies and do nothing to help building homes in any way, in fact I believe if they could demolish homes already built, they would. Bonus points if non-whites are currently inside the houses.

      Why do you think he wants Gaza? The ‘non-whites’ (the right ones) homes have already been bulldozed.
