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.

I will happily watch Trumps funeral on TV when it happens, hopefully Friday.

How much will it cost to take a massive dump?

[–] floofloof 6 points 2 days ago

$20, or if it's your birthday your whole party can take a dump for $100 and we'll put sparklers in it.

Nothing. But it still leaves your weekend free afterwards.
