I know US education is abysmal, but people at least should know what different branches of government are responsible for. Executive branch of the government runs the agency. And no, nobody expects Biden to personally to hold the bag, but his administration has direct control.
The Biden administration is withholding funds from the Climate Justice Alliance, a federal grantee that has spoken out about Palestine.
Wow you see his name and think he’s directly invovled?
HE. IS. NOT. Give it up.
Executive branch of the government runs the agency.
As someone who knows jack shit, that’s correct. What do you suppose “running the agency” entails? Buying pens and staplers? Noting who’s absent today? Sending out agency picnic invites? No. That is 100% not how it works at all. You’re VERY much mistaken.
And since you’re a leading academic in the field of civics education in the US, please enlighten us as to who holds the “purse strings” for the government agencies such as the EPA.

Republicans literally can’t do anything about it except for talking.
