EPA says Trump’s big bill should help in its fight to take back billions in green bank funds

July 4, 2025

The bill repeals the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, also known as the “green bank,” created under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Federal officials argue in court that this allows the EPA to freeze funding and cancel contracts with nonprofits previously awarded billions to operate the bank. Climate United Fund, one of the nonprofits, disagrees. It clams most funds were already disbursed and unaffected by the repeal. A federal appeals court is now considering the EPA’s appeal of a ruling that partially unfroze the funds.

July 4, 2025

President Donald Trump says he didn’t know that the term “shylock” is considered antisemitic when he used it in a speech to describe unscrupulous moneylenders.

Shylock refers to the villainous Jewish moneylender in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” who demands a pound of flesh from a debtor. The Anti-Defamation League says Trump’s use of the term “is very troubling and irresponsible.”
