The fate of $20 billion in climate grants to be determined
 
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., is slated to issue a ruling by Tuesday on whether to release $20 billion in climate grants to nonprofit organizations or allow Trump's Environmental Protection Agency to continue to freeze the money, which the groups have warned could put them out of business.
 
Since heading the agency, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has set his sights on the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, claiming the previous administration improperly distributed the funds by funneling it through Citibank. The EPA has kept the funds frozen and sought to terminate a total of $20 billion in funding for eight nonprofit organizations through the program.

The fund was established by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, a law passed by Democrats and signed by former President Joe Biden that provided hundreds of billions of dollars in clean energy subsidies.

The Trump EPA’s efforts were quickly met with litigation by three of the organizations: Climate United, Coalition for Green Capital, and Power Forward Communities. The groups have asked a federal judge to release the granted money.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

"Show me the federal judge, and I'll show you the ruling".

I say sic the intelligence agency and IRS on them to find where the 'profits' have been made and deny them all future tax-free status, as well as clawing back all the tax-free benefits they have been given over the years.
