by the Trump administration in actions that Democrats have denounced as illegal and unconstitutional.Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, a Democrat, said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has illegally withheld, or impounded, climate-law funding despite a decades-old law that explicitly prohibits such actions by the executive branch. Repeated court rulings, including by the Supreme Court, support the power of Congress to set federal spending levels.

Zeldin’s budget maneuvers “endanger communities by making it harder to address pollution and climate chaos,” Merkley said at a hearing Wednesday.Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, chair of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee on the environment, also criticized Zeldin, saying funding freezes approved by his agency — including to grants intended for rural communities in Alaska — were “somewhat indiscriminate.″Murkowski questioned whether severe budget cuts proposed by President Donald Trump were “serious.” Many of the proposals, such as an 88% cut to a state revolving fund for clean water, are likely to be reversed by Congress, she said.

The EPA’s approach under Zeldin is “problematic,” Murkowski added. “EPA has not adhered to our guidelines and has been largely unresponsive to questions,” she said.Zeldin told Murkowski she has a special phone number for his office and can call him any time.

His exchanges with Democrats were less friendly.

“So you understand that when you impound funds, you’re violating the law?” Merkley asked Zeldin, a formerThough Lineker is leaving his role at “Match of the Day,” he has signed a contract extension that will see him host the national broadcaster’s coverage of the FA Cup through to 2026 as well as next year’s World Cup tournament in North America. He has for years been the BBC’s highest paid star.

Prior to Lineker’s apology, the BBC’s director-general Tim Davie said the broadcaster’s reputation is “held by everyone and when someone makes a mistake, it costs us.”He added: “And I think we absolutely need people to be the exemplars of BBC values and follow our social media policies, simple as that.”

The Campaign Against Antisemitism has urged Davie to sack Lineker, who is also the co-founder of the hugely successful “Goalhanger” podcasts, makers of the popular “The Rest is History” series and its spin-offs about politics, football, entertainment and money.“As the BBC’s highest-paid presenter and owner of a major media enterprise, maybe he knows exactly what he’s doing,” a spokersperson for the organization said. “Having looked the other way until now, at this point, it is clear that Mr. Lineker’s continued association with the BBC is untenable. He must go.”
