The Trump administration is halting a $5 billion program to help build out the nation’s EV charging network, which upends years of federal precedent and raises legal questions. POLITICO’s James Bikales breaks down the suspension and how it’s a significant blow for America’s EV transition. Plus, a budget blueprint released Friday by Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) lays the groundwork for a party-line reconciliation bill that aims to spur U.S. energy development.
