The Deregulators Are Getting Blocked by Their Own Side
The EPA is delaying dozens of PFAS approvals because Administrator Zeldin fears backlash from RFK Jr.'s MAHA movement. The administration that promised the largest deregulatory push in US history is holding up chemical approvals to avoid a fight with its own base.
The Legal Spine of Climate Policy Just Broke
The EPA repealed its 2009 endangerment finding in February. Environmental groups sued in April. The outcome of that case determines whether the US has any federal climate authority at all.
The EPA Just Declared It Has No Legal Authority Over Climate Change
Revoking the 2009 endangerment finding does not disprove climate science. It just removes the government's legal obligation to act on it.
The EPA Deleted the Legal Foundation for Every Federal Climate Rule. Zeldin Called It 'Vindication.'
The 2009 endangerment finding was not a regulation. it was the scientific warrant that made regulation possible. Repealing it doesn't just kill pending rules; it retroactively questions whether any climate regulation was ever lawful.
