Over at EPA, new administrator Lee Zeldin is trying to "claw back" $20 billion that the agency has already dispersed. In other words, the government gave the money to private parties, and now it's going to steal the money back. It is straightforwardly illegal.
Zeldin will try to take back $20B in IRA grants
The EPA administrator accused the Biden administration of trying to hide the money by depositing it in a bank.

They say this is only temporary, but no one should believe that.

Donald Trump must direct his administration to reverse course immediately and the taxpayers’ money should be distributed to the people.

This is utterly ridiculous: Briggs pines for the suburbs in a column about road maintenance while admitting he has no answers and never once mentions how the state’s funding formula penalizes Indy.

I remember listening to this album 30 years ago and thinking the mixing was horrendous. Most of it sounds like a wall of guitars with some faint drums and nasally vocals in the background. Still sounds that way 30 years later. Validation. 1001albumsgenerator.com/albums/3F7qb...
