The Department of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program that was part of Joe Biden’s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act. Created in the spring of 2023, and managed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the fund was supposed to be a “first-of-its-kind” program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing communities that it considered “historically left behind.”
But it appears little of the $27 billion revitalized anything—except the coffers of a range of environmental nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.
“The Biden administration used so-called ‘climate equity’ to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their far-left friends,” @leemzeldin, the Trump administration’s new EPA administrator, told @TheFP. “It is my utmost priority to get a handle on every dollar that went out the door in this scheme and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds. This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest and corruption.”
A Free Press investigation reveals that of the $27 billion, $20 billion was rushed out the door to eight nonprofit groups after Biden lost the election—but before President Donald Trump took office. As one former EPA official put it on a secretly recorded video, it was akin to “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”
The eight groups were allocated sums ranging from $400 million to $6.9 billion. Several of them were formed in August of 2023, just one month after the grant applications went live in July of 2023, when it became clear that large nine- and 10-figure grants would be up for grabs. The boards and staff of these eight groups include Democratic donors, people with connections to the Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent Democrats like Stacey Abrams.
“These are some of the biggest grants to individual organizations in American history."
Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel Admits They Paid Fauci's NIH $400 Million in Royalties for a Product the Government Mandated
"Indeed we recently made before Christmas last year a $400 Million payment to the NIH for an old patent that they had developed not related to COVID but [was] useful in development of the COVID vaccine to pay them for their work"
It’s fundamentally corrupt for any member of Congress to name a damn thing after themselves.
When you’re in Congress, you’re not spending your own money, you’re spending taxpayer money.

If you don’t want to seat Santos because he lied about resume repeatedly, what do you do w/Biden? Remember he got scholarships, 3 undergrad degrees, was at top of class at law school. But those were all lies - on tape and documented. Again - this is nature of our ‘democracy.’
I missed this yesterday.
So…Is the whole journalism thing just over? Is that a wrap? What is the function of this?
This is a former newspaper. It clearly prefers @SBF_FTX to @joerogan and @jordanbpeterson.
That wasn’t hyperbole. It *literally* has that preference. Literally.

Yes---middle-class values are no longer viable in the Globalist American Empire
A hard, but important lesson
Biden's DOJ has announced its intention to seize unconstitutional power and override the Supreme Court. This is an insurrection far more dangerous than anything that happened on January 6.
How is it fair when I wore shoes to bring awareness about Human Rights violations around the world, @Celtics begged me to remove them and threatened to ban me, #Celtics now wear Ukrainian flag pins.
Who approved this @NBPA / @NBA?
Who chooses whose lives are more important?
The irony of a guy who tweeted about the vaccine being unsafe (to help Kamala Harris’s trash campaign) now running COVID comms and lecturing Republicans for not doing enough to get people vaccinated … is quite something.
Wait, the grocery business the lowest margin, fragmented, dog fight in all of capitalism… what is @SenWarren talking about?!
Complete grandstanding / gaslighting considering inflation is being driven by her belief in out of control spending!
Health care spending has grown by the entire U.S. military budget since 2015, and life spans have gone *down.* The scam in the U.S. isn't the military-industrial complex, my friends. (ht @Undetermined_US)
