What's a "DEI employee"? Emps are not tagged as DEI or not. They are just given preference during the hiring process.

After NSC staffers leaked Trump’s calls with foreign leaders, I don’t blame him for doing this. No president should have a disloyal staff.

The Department of Energy, in one of its final actions under President Joe Biden, earmarked billions of dollars in green energy loans to utility companies based in Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's home state of Michigandefying the agency's inspector general, who called on the Biden administration to suspend the loan program amid conflict-of-interest concerns.
Some of Granholm's largest campaign benefactors during her Michigan gubernatorial campaign were among the companies receiving the hefty last-minute loans.
The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office announced Thursday that it awarded a staggering $22.9 billion in loan guarantees for utility companies to develop green energy projects across 12 states. More than $14 billion of that total was awarded to DTE Energy and Consumers Energy, the two companies with ties to Granholm, solely for projects in Michigan.
In addition, on Friday afternoon, the office announced a $1.3 billion loan for Michigan Potash Company to help fund a sustainable fertilizer plant in Osceola County, Michigan.
DTE Energy's political action committee contributed more than $34,000 to Granholm's 2006 gubernatorial campaign, according to state records. Then-DTE Energy CEO Stephen Ewing, whom Granholm appointed to serve on the state's Early Childhood Investment Corporation Executive Committee, personally donated another $3,400 to Granholm's campaign in 2004.
Consumers Energy's political action committee gave Granholm's gubernatorial campaign $25,000 in that same timespan, additional data show. And Brandon Hofmeister, the company's current senior vice president of strategy, sustainability, and external affairs, served as Granholm's energy and climate policy adviser and deputy legal counsel when she was governor.
The outsized lame duck spending benefiting Michigan is the latest activity from the Loan Programs Office to raise questions about the integrity of the office's spending programs. Since the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act reactivated the office, giving it tens of billions of dollars in lending authority and making it a central pillar in the Biden administration's climate agenda, it has unveiled an eye-popping $107.4 billion in green loans, the vast majority of which has come following President-elect Donald Trump's victory in November, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.
Biden administration officials have continued to dole out lucrative loans even after the Department of Energy's inspector general issued a report in December calling on the Department of Energy to suspend the program. The watchdog warned that agency officials are not complying with conflict-of-interest rules and that the program carries a "significant risk of fraud."
The Free Beacon reported in January, for example, that Loan Programs Office director Jigar Shah held a financial stake in Plug Power through his green investment firm before joining the Biden administration, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. The Loan Programs Office finalized a $1.7 billion loan for Plug Power on Thursday.
The new controversy of Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm at the last minute on Thursday sending more than $15B in Biden’s green energy loans to utilities in her home state of Michigan is a major wake up call to the significant taxpayer abuses in the Biden White House.… pic.twitter.com/VAq0JkYUTi
