Intercept doing their thing.

Title: BIDEN BIG MEANY: HATES PALESTINE

Article: “Grantees under the program have to have their funds obligated by December 6 in order to get the funds disbursed before the start of the Trump administration.”

. . . “This is about the GOP’s obsession with shutting down the EPA,” Chavez said. “The attacks that we’re seeing on us are collateral damage in a war against regulations that protect everybody.” 

. . . Republican lawmakers and right-wing media have targeted the Climate Justice Alliance in recent attacks. On Saturday, the Daily Caller published a story on the pending EPA grant that claimed that the Climate Justice Alliance shared protest material celebrating Hamas. 

. . . The Daily Caller also said the Biden administration was weighing “awarding taxpayer dollars to [a] nonprofit that wants to defund the police.” Earlier this month, Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee issued a report criticizing the EPA program and claiming that the Climate Justice Alliance had exhibited “anti-Republican sentiment.” 

So, to recap: Biden awarded the funds, the EPA is slow to disburse because the republiQans are going to gut it, and therefore Democrats bad.

WTF, that's blatantly a false headline. I didn't know so many news agencies loved republicans so much.
