EPA working with DOJ, FBI on NGO corruption after eight groups tied to ‘gold bars’ scheme

By Sean Moran | Breitbart Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin detailed on The Alex Marlow Show how the Biden administration protected $20 billion in “gold bars” meant for leftist NGOs, many of them with connections to the Biden administration. Zeldin sent shockwaves in mid-February after he had pledged to recover $20 billion in taxpayer funds that had been sent by the Biden administration to climate change projects and other pet projects of Democrat staffers. The EPA Administrator at the time likened it to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” saying that it was a “rush job with reduced oversight.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Trump’s EPA chief: We have found the ‘gold bars’ Biden’s team hid – $20 billion set aside to thwart Trump

By Ben Zeisloft | The Western Journal EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin revealed on Wednesday that staffers for former President Joe Biden established a $20 billion slush fund to advance their interests once President Donald Trump took office. Zeldin said in a video posted to X that an “extremely disturbing video” circulated two months ago showing a Biden appointee in the EPA admitting that the team was “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.” According to Zeldin, the “gold bars” were tax dollars moved out of the EPA as the Biden administration drew to a close.

Bluey: Lee Zeldin hits the ground running at Environmental Protection Agency

By Rob Bluey | Commentary, Daily Signal Two years after a train derailment exposed residents of East Palestine, Ohio, to hazardous chemicals, the new leader of the Environmental Protection Agency is making the village his first official visit Monday.

Trump picks Lee Zeldin to lead EPA — adding second NYer to cabinet

By Steven Nelson | New York Post President-elect Donald Trump has selected former Rep. Lee Zeldin to serve as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, The Post can exclusively report. Zeldin, 44, served four terms as a Republican congressman repping Long Island before losing the 2022 New York governor’s race to Kathy Hochul by a surprisingly close margin. “I am deeply honored to have been asked by President Trump to serve in his Cabinet. As EPA Administrator, we will restore American energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, make the United States the global leader of Artificial Intelligence advancement, and slash the red tape holding back American workers from upward economic mobility,” Zeldin said in a statement to The Post.

Transition to reformulated gas in nine Front Range counties will result in price increase there. How high will it go?

By Michael Booth | The Colorado Sun Keep an eye on gas prices in the next few weeks, Colorado, and you can watch a major policy battle play out between an extremely irritated Gov. Jared Polis and officials enforcing the federal Clean Air Act.  Colorado has a big problem with toxic ground-level ozone in the nine-county northern Front Range area that the Environmental Protection Agency has declared in “severe” violation of Clean Air Act ozone limits. When an area hits “severe,” the Clean Air Act requires all gas stations in that area to begin selling “reformulated” gas during the summer ozone season, beginning June 1.  Reformulated gas, according to the EPA, can cut back on ozone-causing emissions because it’s denser and doesn’t evaporate as quickly in hot weather.
