Reuters reports:
On Thursday, [EPA Administrator Lee] Zeldin also announced the cancellation of a $50 million grant to a group called the Climate Justice Alliance, citing its pro-Palestinian messaging on its website.
The CJA said on Wednesday it would sunset its $50 million UNITE_EJ grantmaking program because it had not been able to access the funding that the Biden EPA had obligated to the group but not yet disbursed.
We looked at the $50 million meant to be given to the Climate Justice Alliance last June. They have a
webpage saying "Free Palestine is a climate justice issue."
As we showed then, the CJA funds other groups, some of which are explicitly antisemitic and anti-American.
Not to mention, celebrating October 7.
A lot of the news stories about the programs that DOGE is eliminating are highlighting how these programs are stupid, wasteful, or aligned with a far Left ideology.
That's bad enough, but it is remarkable how much federal money went to go to causes that are in direct opposition to US policy.
Perhaps not quote as remarkable is how the same people who say that the $3 billion the US invests in Israel on an average year could have been used to feed poor people, but are now silent on the wasteful programs that the Republicans are finding and eliminating that dwarf the amount given to Israel. I don't know if it is accurate, but the
US Debt Clock site says DOGE has already saved the US government some $94 billon annually.
