The Chevron decision initially came as a win for the Reagan administration's deregulatory efforts, requiring judges to defer to federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws.

The precedent later allowed the Environmental Protection Agency to enact Clean Air Act regulations that favored polluting facilities.

NBC reports that the precedent has been used by both Democratic and Republican presidents over decades to take advantage of the authority it grants federal agencies.

According to Jonathan Adler, a professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, there have always been disagreements regarding how the Chevron ruling should be applied.

This has been bubbling around for a while, but certainly on the right there is a concern that ... agencies are not so much faithfully executing Congress' instructions as they are trying to figure out ways of doing what they want to do, Jonathan Adler, a professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, via statement

RFK Jr. Speaks About , Past Health Incidents , Including Brain Parasite. CNN reports that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offered his first public explanation of a medical abnormality he experienced in 2010, which he said was the result of a parasite that entered his brain and died. . While speaking on the podcast 'Pushing the Limits with Brian Shapiro,' Kennedy said the experience involved "brain fog" and "having trouble with word retrieval and short-term memory.". According to the Independent presidential candidate, doctors initially told him they thought he had a tumor in his brain. . A second docotor revealed that "this is almost certainly a parasite that got into your brain … it’s a parasite that’s very common in India where I had done a lot of environmental work.”. Stefanie Spear, a spokesperson for Kennedy’s campaign, said he had “traveled extensively in Africa, South America and Asia” while working as an environmental advocate. When asked how the condition could impact his presidential bid, Spear said, “The issue was resolved more than 10 years ago and he is in robust physical and mental health. Questioning Mr. Kennedy’s health is a hilarious suggestion, given his competition.". In the same podcast, Kennedy detailed another experience he had with mercury poisoning, which he said occurred near the same time as the incident with the parisitic worm. Kennedy said tests revealed "sky high" levels of mercury in he blood, forcing him to undergo chelation therapy to have the metals removed from his body. At the same time, I was having my mercury tested, and I was getting all kinds of tests, and my mercury test came back sky high. So, ten times what, you know, the EPA levels were for blood mercury, I think it was. They were over ten times what– what anybody considered safe. And I had that chelated out and all of that brain fog went away, Robert Kennedy Jr., via CNN. CNN reports that Kennedy insisted that he has since made a full recovery from both health scares

Regan, via statement. $1 billion will be made available to help states and territories comply with the new standards. Those funds are part of a $9 billion investment generated by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
