Court Keeps $20 Billion Green Bank Grants Frozen Amid Policy Dispute
What happened
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit voted 6–4 to uphold an order blocking the Environmental Protection Agency from terminating Inflation Reduction Act grants worth $20 billion. The court subsequently agreed to keep the money frozen while preparing to take the case to the Supreme Court.

Why it matters
