EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin appeared before the House Appropriations subcommittee to discuss President Trump's proposed budget, which would cut the EPA's budget in half. Rep. Rosa DeLauro confronted Zeldin over climate change policy, calling him a climate denier. Zeldin responded by citing the Clean Air Act and the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision, and afterward called DeLauro's performance a 'self-implosion.'
