The U.S. Supreme Court, by a vote of 6-3, has overturned the Chevron deference, stripping power from federal agencies to interpret and enforce regulations. Under the long-standing precedent, courts are required to determine whether an agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous law is reasonable. This has given agencies room to advance regulatory priorities.

Democrats arrived in Congress dazed and confused on Friday, still picking over President Biden’s debate disaster and unsure how they — and him — should move forward. “I couldn’t hardly sleep,” Missouri Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver said. “People were concerned. As I’ve told everybody, being concerned is healthy. Overreacting is dangerous. And I think I wouldn’t advise anybody to make rash decisions right now. I don’t think that’s healthy for the party and it’s not healthy for the political process.”

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

(WO) — The American Petroleum Institute (API) released a statement from API Senior Vice President and General Counsel Ryan Meyers applauding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to stay the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ‘Good Neighbor Rule,’ ensuring the oil and gas industry can continue to provide affordable, reliable energy to American consumers at a time of persistent inflation and geopolitical uncertainty:

Aurora, CO

About 80 people overtook Aurora’s City Council meeting Monday, causing the mayor to recess the meeting three times in an effort to bring about order. The council then agreed to extend public invited to be heard beyond the one-hour time limit. The speakers showed up to chide the City Council for not punishing the officer that shot and killed Kilyn Lewis. Lewis was a suspect in a crime which is why police approached him. Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department showed Lewis did not have a gun and repeatedly yelled “I don’t have nothing!” with his hands in the air. Despite this, officer Michael Dieck killed him with a single shot from his rifle. Lewis never had more than a cell phone in his hand, the video showed.

The Supreme Court on Friday threw into question the future of climate and environmental regulation in the United States, scrapping a decades-old legal precedent that gave federal agencies leeway to interpret laws according to their expertise and scientific evidence. The impact of the decision to scrap the so-called Chevron deference will take years to become clear, but it could allow for far more legal challenges against regulations by agencies like the EPA and the Department of the Interior that have a huge role in the climate fight.
