BREAKING: Donald Trump's FBI shreds the rule of law by moving to criminalize Habitat for Humanity and other groups for receiving EPA grants during the Biden administration. This is a whole new level of evil... In a stunning new court filing, Citibank revealed that the FBI ordered them to freeze the groups' bank accounts because they are allegedly involved in "possible criminal violations" including "conspiracy to defraud the United States." The Appalachian Community Capital Corporation, the Coalition for Green Capital, the Colorado Clean Energy Fund, and the DC Green Bank are some of the other nonprofit groups being targeted — but the list is lengthy. This weaponization of the FBI is a blatant attempt to undermine the consensus around climate change so that the Trump administration can pump even more money into the pockets of fossil fuel companies. By claiming that it's "fraud" to take money to fight climate change, MAGA is aggressively pushing the false claim that climate change itself does not exist. It wasn't enough for the Trump administration to simply revoke the federal grants in question — they're alleging fraud to intimidate and terrorize climate advocates everywhere. As deeply disturbing as these developments are, they're hardly a surprise... It was widely reported in the lead-up to the 2024 election that Trump met with oil executives and lobbyists at Mar-a-Lago and offered them a "deal." If they'd donate $1 billion it his campaign, he'd roll back crucial environmental regulations once he retook the White House. Now, he's making good on those promises. Fossil fuel companies are going to rake in record profits, the climate crisis will worsen, and the entire world will face the consequences of these oil companies' greed.
