Trump Admin Admits Political Bias in Energy Cuts | Global News

The Trump administration secretly admitted in court docs they slashed $7.6 billion in clean energy grants—targeting 16 states that voted for Kamala Harris—directly contradicting their own claims that cuts were based on energy needs or economic viability. Democrats and environmental groups call it political retaliation, while lawmakers like Kaptur and Murray label it “un-American,” urging Republicans to hold the administration accountable. The Energy Dept’s October cuts, affecting battery plants, hydrogen tech, and grid upgrades, were part of a broader anti-climate push—and now, in Thakur v. Trump, lawyers revealed grants were flagged using keywords like “diversity,” “gender,” and “vaccine hesitancy,” exposing a chilling politicization of federal funding.
