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.

    May god rest his soul, can President Carter not get five minutes rest in peace, after putting in a lifetime of work? To already make him spin in his grave at the jealous actions of that man-child is endlessly insufferable.

    I have 2 citi accounts. if they cave, I’m closing them and telling them why. not that they would care but still. I’ll take the hit to my credit score. not like it’s going to matter in the future anyway.
