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

disagreements regarding how the Chevron ruling should be applied.

On May 29, ConocoPhillips agreed to
acquire Marathon Oil in an all-stock deal valued at $17 billion, CNBC reports.
The agreement will provide ConocoPhillips with
an additional 2 billion barrels of U.S. inventory.
This acquisition of Marathon Oil further
deepens our portfolio and fits within our
financial framework, adding high-quality,
low cost of supply inventory adjacent to our
leading U.S. unconventional position. , ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance, via statement.
ConocoPhillips' market cap will
exceed $150 billion due to the deal.
As an independent producer, ConocoPhillips will now be on the same scale as some big-time players, CNBC reports.
For example, the company will become larger than BP but still be smaller than Shell, according to Andrew Dittmar, M&A analyst at Enverus.

While the deal is likely to face FTC scrutiny, the fact that Marathon's assets encompass multiple basins supports regulatory approval, Dittmar said. .
Once the deal is complete,
ConocoPhillips anticipates share buybacks worth $7 billion within the first year.
After three years, that number is
expected to grow to $20 billion.

US Water System May Be , Vulnerable to Cyberattack, by China, Russia and Iran.
CNBC reports that the United States
water system has been the target of a series
of cyberattacks over the past few years. .
In response, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has been forced to issue an alert warning
that 70% of water systems do not comply
with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
According to the EPA, some have āalarming
cybersecurity vulnerabilities,ā including
unchanged default passwords and former
employees who retain access to vital systems.
In February, the FBI issued a warning to
Congress that Chinese hackers have embedded
themselves into the U.S. cyber infrastructure. .
Those hackers have targeted water treatment
plants, the electrical grid, transportation
systems and other vital infrastructure.

water to the population is the main concern.
We have demonstrated in our
lab how operations, such as

days, but for weeks, Adam Isles, head of cybersecurity

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan sent a letter

EPA's New Limits on PFAS , in Drinking Water Could Be , Upended by the Supreme Court.
'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court
is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put
in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court
is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put
in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In April, new national limits were placed on per-
and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the nation's
drinking water, otherwise known as PFAS. .
Also known as "forever chemicals,"
PFAS have been linked to a number of
health concerns, including cancer.
According to the EPA, of the 66,000 public drinking water
systems impacted by the new limits, an estimated 6% to
10% will need to make updates to meet the new standards.
According to San Francisco, the EPA's new
"narrative" regulations fail to meet the Clean Water
Act's requirement to lay out clear restrictions.
The lawsuit headed to the Supreme Court accuses the EPA of setting vague rules without quantifiable standards.
Rather than specify pollutant limits
that tell the permitholder how much
they need to control their discharges
as required by the CWA, these
prohibitions effectively tell
permitholders nothing more than
not to cause 'too much' pollution, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
These generic water quality terms
expose San Francisco and numerous
permitholders nationwide to
enforcement actions while failing
to tell them how much they need
to limit or treat their discharges
to comply with the Act, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
We simply want to know in advance
what requirements apply to us, and
we want the EPA to fulfil its duty
under the Clean Water Act to
determine those requirements. , Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' points out that the Supreme Court has sided against
the EPA in the past, most recently in 2022 when it ruled
6-3 against the Biden administration's climate agenda. .

On May 20, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a countrywide alert urging water utilities to take immediate action to safeguard drinking water from cyberattacks. .
The agency said that recent inspections indicate that 70% of water systems in America don't comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act, 'Newsweek' reports. .
Some water utility systems have "critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities, such as default passwords that have not been updated and single logins that can easily be compromised.".
Cyberattacks have the potential to disrupt water treatment and storage, damage equipment.
and change chemical levels to dangerous amounts.
In many cases, systems are not doing what
they are supposed to be doing, which is to
have completed a risk assessment of their
vulnerabilities that includes cybersecurity
and to make sure that plan is available
and informing the way they do business. , EPA Deputy Administrator Janet McCabe, via press release.
According to the EPA's warning,
countries like China, Russia and Iran.
have "disrupted some water systems with cyberattacks and may have embedded the capability to disable them in the future.".
Drinking water and wastewater systems
are an attractive target for cyberattacks
because they are a lifeline critical
infrastructure sector but often lack
the resources and technical capacity to
adopt rigorous cybersecurity practices, Michael S. Regan, EPA administrator, and White House National Security
Adviser Jake Sullivan, via March 18 letter to all 50 U.S. governors.
The EPA is offering to train water utilities
at no cost to correct some of the issues, .
but other issues are more complex and costly,
which many utilities companies aren't equipped for. .
Certainly, cybersecurity is part of that,
but that's never been their primary expertise.
So, now you're asking a water utility to
develop this whole new sort of department, Amy Hardberger, water expert at Texas Tech University, to AP

On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign
corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled
Congress under former President Donald Trump.
NBC reports that the case had attracted scrutiny when
conservative Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse
himself despite ties with one of the challenging lawyers.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
According to the 16th Amendment
of the Constitution, Congress has the
power to "collect taxes on incomes.".
In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were
unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an
India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. .
While the company made a profit, the Moores
claim that they received no dividends and that
the money was reinvested in the business.
As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between
2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later
defined as income from their investment. .
Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law
enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017,
the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes.
They later sought a refund for that payment,
arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed
based on an increase in the value of a capital
investment not qualifying as income.
The couple's challenge was rejected
by the Supreme Court 7-2

According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon generalās
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon generalās
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.
