A jury’s mammoth award this week to an oil pipeline company suing Greenpeace is part of a barrage of blows against environmentalists since Donald Trump took office in January. The Environmental Protection Agency, which faces deep cuts, has rolled back regulations and tried to claw back funds for green projects awarded by the Biden administration. In addition, fossil fuel projects that were delayed or rejected have been fast-tracked. One legal scholar said the administration and its allies in the energy industry sense an “opportunity for revenge.” (Wall Street Journal — subscription)
The leader of an anti-hunger nonprofit in Minnesota has been convicted of running a scheme to defraud the federal government of $240 million in Covid-era relief funds. Aimee Bock’s Feeding Our Future nonprofit was supposed to oversee other groups providing meals to children when schools were shut down. Instead, prosecutors argued, she conspired with those groups as they submitted wildly inflated accounts of their work and spending. Her cut of the funds amounted to $18 million, prosecutors said. Bock maintains her innocence. (New York Times)
