Impending Government Funding Challenges and Environmental Pushback

House Republicans are kicking off the next government funding process with proposals that take aim at energy and climate programs — setting up a potential showdown with the Senate and another high-stakes government funding fight. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down what’s in the House GOP’s initial proposals, how they diverge from the White House’s vision, and what to watch as negotiations heat up on Capitol Hill. Plus, an environmental group is challenging the Trump administration’s $4.7 billion loan to French energy giant TotalEnergies to help build a liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique.
