The Trump administration has directed nonprofits involved in a $20 billion Biden-era climate initiative to turn over records to the FBI and appear in federal court later this month.

Not gonna lie, I think I hate these people. Don’t they have families? Children? Grandchildren? Who will need to live on this planet after we’re gone? Musk to Mars looks like a big blow up, so that ain’t lookin good.
Groups awarded funding through the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund received letters this week from Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin in Washington, instructing them to provide the records within two weeks.
However, the requested information was already accessible to the EPA through Citibank, which administers the program for the agency and the Treasury Department. Yet another example of the federal government being used as a political weapon.
Kind of like the transgender mice thing. People tell me you can’t dismiss maga as stupid or ignorant but let’s be honest, a good percentage of these people will believe anything their demigod says, no matter how ridiculous.
On the other hand, it is reassuring to know that the New America [TM] is based on traditional Christian values like pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. Praise ye the Lord!
Damn...lets just effing go backwards. I hope all that appropriated money has been spent. Except elons. Which looks like on the news people are burning up his chargers faster than they can build them.
Question…Why didn’t every Democrat in the room at the State of the Union address do what Rep Al Green did before he was kicked out?! Our country is literally burning down around us and Democrats are worried about standing on decorum. The time for brave action is now!
Call them and ask them.

I actually started calling my Rep and Senators several weeks ago on a bunch of the issues using the 5 Stars app on my phone. It made it pretty easy. Very cathartic, I agree!
They’re going to do irreversible damage to the people, the land, animals, and the earth. They just don’t care. Musk said he could colonize Mars by 2030. We will be Mars.
It's more technocratic bullshit. Corporations I.E musk and Tesla want to do whatever the fuck they want. He literally just blew up a starship, doesn't want to clean it up. These. Nazis. Need. To die.
1. Doesn't this violate the Impoundment Act?
2. Aren't there statutes that mandate payment to already agreed to contracts, and mandate congressionally approved budgets?
Non profits that expend $750k in federal funds in a fiscal year (Medicaid/Medicare different) are required by law to participate in a Single Audit (A-133). These audits are very different than a financial audit. As an ED, I spent one week with an auditor not to mention time to prep.
They want to ravage the environment for profit. Doesn't matter if there is nothing left for future generations as long as they can fill their own coffers with more than they could ever spend in 10 lifetimes.
This is gonna erode faith in government backed green initiatives. Not even talking about the public, but what little initiatives businesses will have for "going green." Absolutely abysmal and selfish. Corporations are destroying the planet and our communities.
It will not be Schumer or Jeffries. It will be Raskin, Chris Murphy, Maxwell Frost, Jasmine Crockett, AOC. Personally, I think we need a new party, the current Dem party is out of touch with most of us.
Good question. I am not a psychologist or political analyst, but he knows how to keep people in shock and awe, or promise what people want to hear. And then there are all the other zero-sum gamers who are happy when others are worse off than they are.
While I agree that AltNP is among the most fastidious of researchers and fact checkers before they publish anything, when going to share their findings, it’s helpful to have the provenance to back up the claims
Yeah, this is basic stuff yet so many accounts blithely ignore it. And with so much mis- and disinfo flooding SM it's crucial to clarify one's sources.
Wait for the legacy media to catch up to get the sources. By definition, Alt accounts are insider resistance and don't disclose where they get the information. It's 99% accurate, and in the 1% it's not, they publicly own it.
Perhaps someday I’ll blindly accept what somewhat who is nominally politically-aligned with me tells me, no matter what and without question. Perhaps. What a dream!!
If you’re jumping on me for asking for integrity and transparency instead of asking for transparency and integrity, take 3 seconds to ask yourself why.
Yes, Google is free! But asking for unearned trust in unsourced information is not transparent. I can’t believe I’m getting shit for asking people to provide evidence. Ask yourselves why you’re blindly accepting things without sources.
No one is blindly accepting it. They have a history of reporting what is happening from people in those locations, and then it receives media coverage days later, validating their claims. They have shown themselves to be a trustworthy source of early reporting time and time again.
More proof, this criminally insane derelict is so jealous of Biden and Obama that he spends all his time doing shit like this in an attempt to wipe their achievements from history. Vengeance is not a leadership trait.
I've had bipolar diagnosis since 1991. Both president bone spurs and his mate captain blow it all up, are crazier than some of the krap I've seen in the old bipolar chat rooms. And I've seen many unmedicated in there.
Republicans seem to have only one playbook--the Benghazi playbook. Waste taxpayer $ on performative investigations, and hope that it persuades people that they are investigating corruption. it costs money to go to court. HOW DARE THEY WASTE TAXPAYER $S AND THE NONPROFITS $ ON SUCH BOGUS CRAP?
Why? The Trump administration has no authority, because they are TRAITOROUS FUCKS! But only constitutionally and legally. By all other measure they are shitgibbons.
Is this the matter for which the Interim U.S. Attorney for DC sought to freeze the funds and initiate a grand jury investigation, but the experienced senior AUSA in DC found there was no indicia of crime, and then had to resign because she refused to violate the law with a frivolous investigation?
I’m just wondering when “evidence” will be planted in order to kill off anyone that is viewed as dangerous to their agenda. Everyday is a little bit more dystopian and even more fascisty.

What the fuck is wrong with them? Why do they need to destroy anything and everything good done for our environment? Don’t these mutants need clean air and water? I mean, I just cannot wrap my head around the depths of their depravity and pettiness, wanton cruelty and viciousness. WTF?
The GOP wants to tax oxygen. They want us to pay more for clean water. They want to do away with the fines if a company dumps waste into the waterways. This is just a way for us to look the other way while they guy the EPA and go back to the 1950’s way of running businesses. Kill off the environment
The theory on the far right is that environmental policy is all just a pretext to "control" people, just like they thought Covid mitigation policies were a scheme to control everyone.
Of course, they don't object to government control over people when their allies do it in ways they like.
It's a 2 parter: environmental initiatives in rural places keep businesses from extracting resources, and in urban places they benefit black, brown, and low-income white areas (so DEI) that could otherwise be bulldozed and "redeveloped".
Q: Why does a dog lick his balls?
A: Because he can.
(And because they had been planning this for four years at least, and I take bets that they had personal goals on the number and extent of the invented atrocities.)
If someone you love was dying, how would you react? Eat, drink and be merry? And saying this has happened before is also no consolation. Like saying people die all the time so you should not be sad.
The conversation is about the planet so we are talking about climate change and/or environmental degradation. Death is inevitable but this is not natural, and it’s not something we should just accept.
Just because something is difficult doesn't mean it's impossible. You shouldn't give up hope. Times are scary though. I learned so much in microbiology, so many discoveries and innovations that could be implemented on a large scale but aren't because of capitalism. We can make it if we fight.
The fear and intimidation continues. Bunch of government blowhards need to rein in their glee at trying to make others squirm. Throughout eternity, what goes around comes around. Many will gleefully cheer your eventual comeuppance. In the meantime, we don't have to make it easy for them.
We are under attack on our own soil. The last time that happened we went to the ends of the earth to end the monster responsible. He may do himself well to remember that.
This is insane. It is also potential Impoundment. What possible rationale could they have for illegal activity? In a normal world, the GAO or OIG might investigate fraud allegations but his? Intimidation and harreassment. #Krasnov must be stopped. https://www.reddit.com/r/Chattanoogans/s/M3oUr1zjbV
I guess we will find out if it’s true if he does indeed do everything the OP predicted. I do think many GOP are afraid of jail time at this point and that’s why they fall in line. MTG, Ted Cruz etc all took part in Jan 6.
This would hold a lot more weight if it wasn’t ‘anonymous’. I tend to believe it’s though. I’ve actually been predicting g most of what is contained in this , because it seems obvious to me.
They redefine it as fraud, as a pretext to stop payments they are contractually obligated to make, without the tiresome business of gaining congressional approval.

The current 🇺🇸 government environment policy: 🙈🙉🙊
2. Aren't there statutes that mandate payment to already agreed to contracts, and mandate congressionally approved budgets?
can't go to Court without a subpoena ?
the NGO's have to stop obeying in advance
I would say 🖕 to him and walk away, locking those files in a vault and never tell him where they are.
Money is ALL that matters to these scums.
I think spaceyx doesn’t realize what it will be like to have all its government money taken back.
That's cool.
OUR US CONSTITUTION HAS SOLID REQUIREMENTS TO BE PRESIDENT!
14th Amendment Sec 3
1. Be born in USA
2. Be at least 35 yrs old
3. DID NOT GET INVOLVED IN AN INSURRECTION!
OUR Congress did not VOTE to WAIVE these requirements for Trump to be President!
He is killing us.
How many are supposed to show up? Who? WTF?
It’s used to sow more division and propagate more cruelty.

The biggest threat to Americans will be when Leon’s team combine data bases from all federal agency’s into lever for the president.
Laws will be unable to keep up.
Ai will do the heavy lifting/click of the aggregation of data will be a tool to turn on/off/slow services.
Trump DOJ to climate nonprofits: Hand over info and come to court
By Jean Chemnick | 03/07/2025 07:46 PM EST
The Justice Department is demanding documents from nonprofits that were awarded the money through the Inflation Reduction Act.

Many times, these guys sources are people. So you won't be getting that information

Google is free. I literally typed Trump Directed

"They should make it illegal!"
I wrote, "Yeah! Make clean drinking water illegal!" and they fell silent because they didn't actually know what the program did for them 🤫
Now up to 108 Lawsuits the Gov is dealing with. Fight back- they are stretched thin and will continue to load on more.
Blood is in the water, and lawyers smell it.

God forbid someone try to save this planet.
We've been in a period of mass extinction of species unseen previously except for catastrophic events like meteor impacts or Volcanism.
It's over. Eat, drink, and be merry.
Where did I say this has "happened before?"
I mean, I expressly stated the opposite.
It's like the losses in wild bird flocks where I live. They've almost completely collapsed. And will probably never recover.
If there were no countries, with narrow national interests, and instead one global community, it might be possible to turn the corner.
At a time when humanity is further fractioning, that's not a good sign for cooperation.
