Happy Croc Month! Most living crocodilian species look pretty similar overall – that's why there are so many tips for telling alligators from crocodiles – but one group really stands out with their bulging eyes and remarkably slender snouts. This episode, we explore the various features and habits that make gharials unique among crocs, and which have caused no end of confusion for scientists trying to sort out their evolutionary history. And, of course, we'll take a trip into the fossil record to visit some of the most extraordinary long-snouted crocs of the distant past. In the news: hagfish eyes, dinosaur arms, fungal spores, and fishing dinosaurs.

One of the most expensive and worrisome immediate impacts of climate change and the weather disasters it spawns is the fast-rising cost of homeowners insurance. Here in North Carolina and in many parts of the country, these soaring costs are a big contributor to the housing affordability crisis that plagues so many communities. As Newsline learned in a recent conversation with Natural Resources Defense Council climate adaptation expert, Dr. Hope Thompson, there are several practical and affordable regulatory steps that we can take to address the problem – steps that will both make buildings more resilient and assure the availability of affordable homeowners insurance in the future.

May 12, 2026- Efforts in New York to scale back the use of a popular coolant that contributes to climate change has generated bipartisan pushback. We discuss what the implementation of these restrictions should look like with Richie Kaur, senior super pollutant reduction advocate for the Natural Resources Defense Council.

This week on Rising Up for Justice, Bob Deans, the senior strategic advisor for the Natural Resources Defense Council, joins us.

We speak with Vijay Limaye, formerly a scientist with the Environmental Protection Agency - and now based in Madison, WI with the Natural Resources Defense Council. The NRDC has grave concerns for changes that the Trump administration is making with the E.P.A.

Debby Monterrey talks with Josh Mogerman, Managing Director of Media and Public Affairs at the Natural Resources Defense Council, about major environmental policy shifts. The discussion focuses on the rollback of the EPA's 2009 Endangerment Finding and broader actions by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration. They break down how these changes could impact air quality, including increased emissions from coal plants across Missouri and the St. Louis region. Mogerman highlights concerns around sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, with specific attention to the Labadie coal plant along the Missouri River near Six Flags St. Louis.

A “bathtub ring” lines the canyon walls of Lake Mead, marking the dramatic drop in water levels as the Colorado River system faces prolonged drought and overuse. Image by Tara W. / Pexels. As the Colorado River Basin faces historic drought, shrinking reservoirs, and intensifying climate pressures, new research reveals a striking reality: Some of the largest water users in the West pay little to nothing for their supply. In this episode of Terra Verde, host and producer Hannah Wilton speaks with Isabel Friedman, a senior advocacy associate with the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Noah Garrison, the Environmental Science Practicum Director at of University of California, Los Angeles's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability about their report, Free Water While It Lasts: An Analysis of Wholesale Water Pricing in the Lower Colorado River Basin States. Drawing on decades of policy and pricing data, Friedman and Garrison unpack how longstanding decisions about water allocation and cost have shaped today's crisis. They explore stark disparities between agricultural and urban water pricing, why artificially low costs can discourage conservation, and how these dynamics have contributed to the Colorado River's declining storage levels. They also explore emerging proposals — including a potential surcharge on federally supplied water — and the political deadlock states face as they struggle to negotiate the river's future. As California and the broader region confront deepening water scarcity, this episode asks: What would it take to align water pricing with the realities of a changing climate? The post Free Water While It Lasts appeared first on KPFA.

In episode 249 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons takes a deep dive into the growing climate-driven insurance crisis reshaping housing and communities across the United States. Doug first speaks with Rob Moore and Alfonso Pating of the Natural Resources Defense Council about their new reports on the nation's emerging insurability crisis—why premiums are rising, insurers are retreating from high-risk areas, and what state policies can do to reduce risk and keep homes insurable. Then filmmaker George Siegal joins the show to discuss his documentary Built to Last: Buyer Beware, which reveals how many American homes are simply not built to withstand the disasters they face. Together, these conversations connect the dots between climate risk, insurance markets, and the way we build our communities—showing how insurance is becoming one of the clearest warning signals of climate change in action. https://www.americaadapts.org/episodes/an-uninsurable-country-what-rising-climate-risk-means-for-homeowners Experts in this Episode: Rob Moore - Director of the Climate Adaptation Division at NRDC  Alfonso Pating - Global financial regulations specialist with NRDC.  George Siegal - Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Director, Producer and owner of Move the World Films Key Themes Covered in This Episode What an "insurability crisis" is—and why it's emerging across the U.S. Why premiums are rising, policies are disappearing, and insurers are pulling back What makes a home insurable: risk, location, and construction The role of states in shaping insurance markets, building codes, and land use How FAIR Plans work and why they're rapidly expanding Whether FAIR Plans can become tools for resilience, not just backstops How insurance markets are acting as a signal of climate risk Why many homes are not built to withstand today's disasters The tension between affordability and resilient construction What this all means for the future of housing and adaptation For Educators & Students How insurance markets are responding to climate risk The role of states in shaping insurance, building codes, and land use The connection between housing, affordability, and resilience Insurance as an economic signal of climate change Professors are welcome to assign this episode or excerpts in syllabi Who Should Listen to This Episode Climate adaptation and resilience professionals State and local officials focused on housing, risk, and planning Urban planners and developers working in high-risk areas Insurance and finance professionals tracking climate risk Climate communicators and educators explaining these shifts Transcript of Rob Moore and Alfonso Pating interview avaible here.

The Environmental Protection Agency is moving to scale back limits on toxic emissions from coal-burning power plants, clearing the way for them to emit more hazardous pollutants, such as mercury. Advocates are warning that rolling back limits could harm human health and drive up health care costs. Stephanie Sy discussed more with John Walke of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

The Trump administration last week announced the repeal of the ‘endangerment finding' - the 2009 determination that climate change threatens public health and welfare. It may sound arcane, but this piece of legislation empowered the US federal government to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This decision weakens the regulatory backbone of American climate policy, and may reshape the country's emissions trajectory for years to come.So what happens next?This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson consider the politics, the economics and the climate reality of this move. And Tom calls friend of the show Manish Bapna, President and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council, whose organisation is preparing to challenge the rollback in court. Speaking to us just as the case was filed, Manish explains why the endangerment finding has long been the legal bedrock of federal climate action, and how the case could climb all the way to the Supreme Court.Until then, uncertainty reins: is this a temporary political detour - or a structural turning point for US climate leadership? And if federal authority falters, will states, businesses and markets keep the transition moving anyway?Learn More:

The nation’s largest electric grid operator outlines its plan to manage rapid growth in data center electricity demand. --- PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest grid operator, is preparing to file a wide-ranging proposal with federal regulators aimed at managing the rapid growth of electricity demand, including AI-driven data centers. The plan stands out as one of the first comprehensive efforts by a grid operator to address surging load from new technologies while maintaining system reliability and limiting cost impacts on consumers. The proposal arrives at a moment when the electric grid is under growing stress. Tightening power supply-demand balances, high-profile grid failures, and a series of narrowly avoided outages have raised concerns about whether the power system can continue to meet demand reliably. At the same time, those pressures have increasingly shown up in electricity prices, which have increased sharply in many areas. PJM’s proposal tries to answer a question grid operators across the country are now facing: how to say “yes” to large new loads without turning reliability into a gamble or costs into an afterthought. The plan lays out a structured approach to integrating data centers and other large loads, with an eye toward keeping commitments realistic and aligning responsibility with impact. Abe Silverman is an assistant research scholar with the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute at Johns Hopkins University and a former general counsel to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. Tom Rutigliano is senior advocate for climate and energy at the Natural Resources Defense Council, where his work focuses on PJM. Both participated in the policy discussions surrounding PJM’s proposal, and provide their perspective on its potential impacts on grid reliability, consumers, and the potential rate of datacenter growth.

From the food we eat to the parks, farms, and neighborhoods around us, pesticide policy quietly shapes everyday life in the United States.In this installment of our Explained series on the nation's foundational environmental laws, we turn to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, better known as FIFRA. Host Sebastian Duque Rios is joined by Dr. Jennifer Sass of the Natural Resources Defense Council and Keith Matthews of Matthews Law LLC to unpack how pesticides are regulated in the United States, why FIFRA was created, and how it has evolved from a consumer protection statute into a central health and environmental safeguard.Together, they walk through how EPA evaluates pesticide risks and benefits, what “unreasonable adverse effects” really means in practice, and how FIFRA interacts with food safety law and state authority. The conversation also explores the role of labels and enforcement, the promise and limits of safer alternatives like biopesticides, and the pressures facing pesticide regulation today—from staffing shortages to faster approval timelines. Whether you work in environmental law or are just trying to understand how pesticides are regulated, this episode offers a clear understanding of how FIFRA affects what ends up on our food, in our environment, and in our bodies. ★ Support this podcast ★

What if one of the most widely used pesticides in the world is something most people have never even heard of, despite likely encountering it daily?In episode 206 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast we are discussing neonicotinoids, often called “neonics.” They're the most commonly used insecticides in the United States, applied to crops, lawns, gardens, golf courses, and even found in flea and tick treatments for pets. They're designed to make plants themselves toxic to insects—but that efficiency comes at a cost to people and the planet.So how are chemicals with these kinds of impacts still allowed in our food, water, and everyday products? And why has federal regulation lagged so far behind the science? To help answer those questions and more, I'm joined by Daniel Raichel, an expert on pollinators and pesticides at the Natural Resources Defense Council. The NRDC is an international nonprofit environmental organization with more than three million members and online activists. Since 1970, NRDC has used science, policy, law, and people power to protect public health and confront the climate crisis.Dan is an attorney by training and directs NRDC's work focused on protecting bees and other wildlife from toxic pesticides. Before joining NRDC's Nature Program, he co-directed the Community Fracking Defense Project and worked on industrial pollution cleanup in the New York region.

Wetlands are miracles of nature. They work as the world's kidneys, filtering and cleaning our water. Wetlands capture carbon dioxide more effectively than even forests and act as cradles of life for biodiversity, sheltering many endangered species. Despite all this, the Trump Administration on November 17 proposed regulations that would strip federal protections from more than 80 percent of wetlands across the U.S., leaving more than 70 million acres of wetlands vulnerable to development. We discuss the issue with Jon Devine, Director of Freshwater Ecosystems at the Natural Resources Defense Council.

China announced a new climate commitment under the Paris Agreement at last month's United Nations General Assembly meeting, pledging to cut its emissions by 7% to 10% by 2035. Many observers were disappointed by the promise, which may not go far enough to forestall 2 degrees Celsius of warming. But the pledge's conservatism reveals the delicate and shifting politics of China's grid — and how the country's central government and its provinces fight over keeping the lights on. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk to Michael Davidson, an expert on Chinese electricity and climate policy. He is a professor at the University of California, San Diego, where he holds a joint faculty appointment at the School of Global Policy and Strategy and the Jacobs School of Engineering. He is also a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and he was previously the U.S.-China policy coordinator for the Natural Resources Defense Council.Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University.

China recently released its official NDC, or Nationally Determined Contribution document, laying out a commitment to reduce carbon emissions ‘from peak' by 7-10% by 2035. The document was widely seen as disappointing. Now that the NDC and the initial reactions are out, it's time to take a step back and evaluate the bigger picture. What does this target really mean? What does the NDC signal about China's 15th Five-Year Plan, or for its major emitting sectors such as coal power or coal-to-chemicals? What impact did climate diplomacy or weakened/withdrawn climate commitments from other economies have on China's NDC? Is there a chance that China will use other policies to ‘enhance its ambition'? Our guest today is Kate Logan  Director, China Climate Hub and Climate Diplomacy at the Asia Society Policy Institute. Logan is also a Fellow with ASPI's Center for China Analysis. Her work focuses on enhancing climate progress across Asia and in China especially, including by supporting the international community's engagement with China's climate agenda. She previously worked with ClimateWorks, and also in Beijing with the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs. Kate was one of the founders of the Environment China podcast, almost a decade ago, so she has a long connection to the Beijing Energy Network!

Our podcast show being released today commemorates the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's opinion in Loper Bright Enterprises - the opinion in which the Court overturned the Chevron Deference Doctrine. The Chevron Deference Doctrine stems from the Supreme Court's 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council. The decision basically held that if federal legislation is ambiguous the courts must defer to the regulatory agency's interpretation if the regulation is reasonable. My primary goal was to identify a person who would be universally considered one of the country's leading experts on administrative law and, specifically the Chevron Deference Doctrine and how the courts have applied the Roper opinion. I was very fortunate to recruit Cary Coglianese, Edward B. Shils Professor of Law at Penn Law School and Director of the Penn Program on Regulation. In this episode we explore two of his recent and widely discussed papers, titled “Loper Bright's Disingenuity” and “The Great Unsettling: Administrative Governance After Loper Bright” Here are the questions that we discussed with Professor Coglianese: Let's start at the beginning. What is the Chevron case all about? How did the Court in Loper Bright explain why it was overruling Chevron? You have a new article coming out later this year in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review called “Loper Bright's Disingenuity,” co-authored with David Froomkin of the University of Houston. What do you and Professor Froomkin mean by the title of your article?  In your article, you critique what you call the Court's “facile formalism.” What do you mean by that? You also criticize the way the Court based its decision in Loper Bright on the Administrative Procedure Act or APA. What exactly was problematic about the Court's APA analysis?  Let's shift gears from your analysis of the logic of the Loper Bright opinion to talk about what the decision's effects have been so far and what its effects ultimately might be on the future of administrative government in the United States. You have another article on Loper Bright that was recently published in the Administrative Law Review and coauthored with Dan Walters of Texas A&M Law School. It has another provocative title: “The Great Unsettling: Administrative Governance After Loper Bright.”  What do you mean by the “Great Unsettling”?  Although you say that it is hard to predict exactly what impact Loper Bright will have on the future of administrative government, you also acknowledge that the decision has created a “symbolic shock” and is likely to “punctuate the equilibrium of the administrative governance game as we have come to know it.”  Can we see any effects so far in terms of how Loper Bright is affecting court decisions?  For example, let's start with the Supreme Court itself. Has it had anything more to say about Loper Bright in decisions it's handed down this past year? If we look at the lower courts, what can we discern about how Loper Bright has been received in federal district courts or courts of appeals?  Are there any trends that can be observed? I'd like to bring things full circle by raising a metaphor you and Professor Walters use in your article, “The Great Unsettling.” You say there that the Loper Bright “decision might best be thought of as something of a Rorschach test inside a crystal ball.” What do you mean? Can you tell us what you see inside your crystal ball? Alan Kaplinsky, the founder and former chair and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group hosted the podcast show.  

July 31, 2025- New York's effort to cap emissions may have stalled, but the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative has entered a new phase, with updated goals adopted this summer. We talk about the program and its role in combatting climate change with Jackson Morris, director of state power sector policy for the Natural Resources Defense Council.

It’s been more than a decade since the alarm was sounded about high levels of lead in Flint, Michigan’s tap water. This July, the city said it had completed the work of replacing as many as 11,000 lead pipes mandated by a 2017 settlement. But lead lines still remain in Flint and states across the country.

What happened at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) and what does it mean for climate action? What are ‘solidarity levies' and how might they help close the climate finance gap? What is needed to ensure someone actually reads the ‘Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T' after COP30?

Chicago has more lead water pipes than most U.S. cities, and nearly two-thirds of children under 6 are exposed to lead in drinking water. Efforts to make the city's water lead-free have been sluggish. A Biden-era mandate requires cities to replace 20,000 lead pipes a year by 2027. Chicago is set to replace less than half of that number this year, and estimates suggest the city's water systems won't be lead-free until 2076.

Pat explains how Nugent and Dear Leader Trump are very much alike, and not in flattering ways. Pat then talks about how nearly half of Detroit's apartment complexes are without air conditioning, and Michigan's high unemployment rate. He concludes by underlining the big time victory of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race, and how it's yet another example of how progressive economic populism is not only popular, but it WINS elections! 20:29-42:23: Derrell Slaughter of NRDC-Michigan Interview Derrell Slaughter is the Michigan Policy Director for Climate & Energy at the Natural Resources Defense Council. Slaughter co-wrote a blog post on the NRDC site called, "Trump Administration's DOE Is Forcing Coal Plants To Remain Open. Michigan Is The First Target." Pat and Derrell discuss how Trump's Energy Dept. is forcing an old Consumer's Energy plant in Ottawa County to remain open even though the plant was scheduled to shut-down last month. Slaughter explains why this unprecedented move will cost Michiganders both economically and environmentally. 42:24-48:04: Last Call on Unhinged Democrats The "Last Call" this week spotlights those Democrats who view progressive Democrats, like Zohran Mamdani, as more of an enemy than they view MAGA Republicans as the real opposition to the working class, to liberty, and to democracy.  48:05-50:30: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Trump Administration's DOE Is Forcing Coal Plants to Stay Open.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted welcomes Catherine Sands, Director of Fertile Ground, to the podcast. After years of working in development and promoting special fund-raising concerts for Natural Resources Defense Council, Catherine moved north from New York City to the Berkshires of Massachusetts to raise a family and live closer to the land. There, she became involved with schools and asked a very basic question: Why do local schools have such lousy food?These questions led Catherine to a career working with schools and communities, linking education and applied learning to food systems. She sought to emulate the edible schoolyard program that Alice Waters created in Berkeley, California. There, students were learning growing food in their schoolyards, gaining an appreciation of healthy food, and developing pathways for lifelong wellness. This inspired Catherine to work with local schools in Massachusetts, working on applied learning, food procurement, and linking local schools to local farms... all to bring healthy, pesticide-free food, and "scatch-made" meals to students. She explains that much of her work involves diligent networking and matchmaking to support food policy councils, school districts' food procurement professionals, and local farms.Determined to better understand food systems and food policy, and to undo the food inequity she found distressing, Catherine earned a graduate degree from University of Massachusetts to advance Fertile Ground and its work with schools and communities. Since then, Fertile Ground has provided food system evaluations with recommendations for school districts on how to best tap Farm Bill funds to advance healthy food. Fertile Ground develops approaches and programs and gardens. She then joined the U Mass faculty where she has inspired and guided hundreds of students on a similar mission, work that she continues... driven by passion and fulfillment in her successes. "What's in your garden this spring?" Ted asks Catherine in closing. She responds that, yes, "It's planting time. The greens are going in. Tomatoes too." And not only in her own garden: She relishes in having fostered and continuing to support hundreds of gardens at schools and within the communities that she serves. Catherine makes clear that providing healthy food at schools and in our communities is challenging, but more so, it is rewarding as it nurtures young minds and healthy souls and organically supports communities.

For Part 2d of this deep dive we finish the famous Chevron USA v. Natural Resource Defense Council (1984) decision. Recall, this decision reversed the RB Ginsburg opinion at the lower court. It was itself reversed last year in 2024 by Republicans on the US Supreme Court. This in turn sets us up for Part 6, where we'll begin to look closely at Loper Bright (2024), which in turn reversed the Republican win in 1984.

Congress often passes major legislation setting out broad principles, and then lets the federal agencies sort out the details. But what should an agency do if Congress's instructions are ambiguous or silent? That was the question facing the Supreme Court 40 years ago, when the Reagan administration's Environmental Protection Agency adopted a business-friendly interpretation of key provisions of the Clean Air Act. After the Natural Resources Defense Council sued, the Supreme Court set out a principle that would define the extent of agency power for decades – until last year, when Loper Bright upended the way courts evaluate agency actions. This season on Uncommon Law, we'll explore the rise and fall of agency power, and what that could mean for the future of regulation in America. Plus: Will President Trump and his advisor Elon Musk be able to use the new legal landscape to eliminate the regulations they find too burdensome?

This week, we delve into the pervasive presence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in everyday household items, such as cosmetics, cookware, and dental floss, and the significant health risks they pose. Linked to cancer, hormone disruption, liver and thyroid issues, reproductive harm, and abnormal fetal development, PFAS exposure has become a growing public health concern. Advocates are urging the state legislature to act by passing four critical bills to protect consumers before the session ends in June 2025. Joining the conversation are two leading experts in the fight against PFAS: Dr. Charles Moon, Pediatric Environmental Health Fellow at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and Kate Donovan, Director of Northeast Environmental Health and Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Together with Tee, they explore the history and health implications of PFAS, discuss current legislative efforts to reduce exposure, and share practical advice for minimizing PFAS in daily life. This insightful episode highlights the vital role of government action, public advocacy, and individual awareness in tackling this environmental and health challenge.

When the Supreme Court decided Chevron U.S.A., Inc v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. 40 years ago, it didn't turn many heads. But eventually, it became the most widely cited case in all of administrative law. It set a legal precedent to give federal agencies the benefit of the doubt when the law is ambiguous, known as Chevron deference. Now, a recent Supreme Court decision has set in motion another tectonic shift, effectively ending that precedent. Today, we dig into what Chevron deference is and how it actually came about. Then tomorrow we'll continue our focus on this significant change by looking at the potential fallout.

OA1050 Legal podcaster Charles Star (ALAB, Mic Dicta) joins to share his administrative law expertise as we consider the end of the Chevron doctrine and what comes next. Why is everyone so worked up about the overturning of a ruling reached by a conservative SCOTUS at the behest of Ronald Reagan, Neil Gorsuch's mom, and one of the worst polluters in world history? Why are immigration lawyers (including Matt) quietly celebrating the end of deference to administrative agencies? And how might a lesser-noticed decision from the last day of the Supreme Court's term fuel a new era of challenges to administrative regulations?

Glenn and Stu further discuss Biden's disastrous performance. Former 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy joins Glenn to discuss how weak Biden is making America look. Trump 2024 national press secretary Karoline Leavitt joins to discuss President Trump's debate win. Glenn reads articles that help prove his theory that Jill Biden has had a manipulative hand in Biden's re-election bid. Stu breaks down the released SCOTUS decisions, including overruling the controversial Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council decision. Rep.

In this episode of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," Sara and BlazeTV contributor John Doyle analyze the aftermath of the recent presidential debate. They highlight the stark contrast between Donald Trump's confident performance and Joe Biden's cognitive struggles, featuring clips where Jill Biden helps him down the stairs. They discuss the Democrats' urgent need to replace Biden with a more competent candidate and the legal challenges involved, given state-specific rules on candidate withdrawal. The conversation emphasizes the importance of optics in modern debates, noting how Trump's strategic demeanor resonated with viewers while Biden's poor performance benefited Trump, especially with the media downplaying Trump's successes. They also address economic struggles like rising grocery and gas prices, further undermining Biden's credibility. Sara also discusses key Supreme Court rulings with Josh Hammer, senior counsel at Article III Project and host of "America on Trial with Josh Hammer." Josh breaks down the Fischer v. United States case, which impacts many January 6 defendants and possibly Donald Trump. They then tackle the Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council case, which limits administrative agency power and emphasizes judicial authority in statutory interpretation. Lastly, they cover the City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson case, which empowers cities to enforce laws against homeless encampments.

Friday's Commerce Department report showed that consumer prices were flat from April to May, the mildest such performance in more than four years. Measured from a year earlier, prices rose 2.6% last month, slightly less than in April. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core inflation rose 0.1% from April to May and 2.6% from 12 months earlier. Both figures were slight improvements on the previous month's data.  Rate cuts by the Fed, which most economists think could start in September, would lead eventually to lower borrowing rates for consumers and businesses.

The ruling, which came in the case of Loper Bright Enterprises et al. v. Raimondo, Secretary of Commerce, et al., marks a significant shift in the balance of power between the branches of government. The Chevron doctrine, established in the 1984 case Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, has long been a source of contention. It granted deference to federal agencies in interpreting ambiguous statutes, effectively allowing unelected bureaucrats to make laws through their regulatory actions. However, by a 6-3 majority, the SCOTUS has now declared that such power is unconstitutional and goes against the principles of democratic governance. “Justice Neil Gorsuch, the son of a former Environmental Protection Agency administrator, wrote separately to call Chevron Deference “a grave anom...

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- During one notable exchange at Thursday's presidential debate on CNN, Joe Biden concluded a statement by saying he had “beaten Medicare.” In response, Donald Trump hilariously noted, “well, he is right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death.” 5:10pm- On Thursday night, CNN hosted 2024's first presidential debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. Who won the debate? The New York Times polled their opinion columnists—and despite progressives greatly outnumbering conservatives, 10 of 12 columnists thought Trump won, with 2 concluding the candidates battled to a draw, and 0 choosing Biden. Similarly, CNN conducted a flash poll which indicated that 67% of debate watchers thought Trump won, with 33% selecting Biden. 5:15pm- One pre-debate poll measuring national support in the 2024 presidential election had Donald Trump at 41% and Joe Biden at 43%. That same poll now has Trump at 50% and Biden at 42% following CNN's presidential debate. 5:20pm- According to a new, shocking poll out of New Jersey, Donald Trump is now beating Joe Biden by 1% in the Garden State. 5:40pm- Zack Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in Heritage's Meese Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to examine the Supreme Court's landmark decisions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce. The near identical cases resulted in the upending of precedent established in 1984 by the Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council decision. Today's decision delivers a massive blow to unchecked power held by the administrative state—which will no longer be permitted to ostensibly alter Congressional acts via loose interpretations without judicial checks on that power.   

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Recapping last night's debate, John Favreau—Host of Pod Save America & former Barack Obama Speechwriter—called Joe Biden's performance a “disaster.” 6:10pm- During one notable exchange at Thursday's presidential debate on CNN, Joe Biden concluded a statement by saying he had “beaten Medicare.” In response, Donald Trump hilariously noted, “well, he is right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death.” 6:15pm- Media Panic: Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough hilariously butted heads over Joe Biden's debate performance—though, both conceded it was not a good night for the president or the Democrat Party. MSNBC's Joy Reid said that the reaction she has received from Democrat insiders is panic. Similarly, while on NBC News, Chuck Todd explained “there is a full-on panic about this performance, not ‘oh like this is recoverable' it's more of an ‘ok, he's got to step aside.'” 6:30pm- Immediately following Thursday's debate, Democrat strategists and left-leaning television anchors began asking whether the party should replace Joe Biden as their presidential candidate given his poor performance and inability to consistently organize his thoughts while answering questions. For example, former Obama Administration Advisor Van Jones told CNN that “there are going to be a lot of people who want [Biden] to consider taking a different course now…That was not what we needed from Joe Biden. It is personally painful for a lot of people.” Could Biden actually be replaced? 6:40pm- On Friday, the Supreme Court issued landmark decisions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce. The near identical cases resulted in the upending of precedent established in 1984 by the Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council decision. Today's decision delivers a massive blow to unchecked power held by the administrative state—which will no longer be permitted to ostensibly alter Congressional acts via loose interpretations without judicial checks on that power. 6:50pm- Could California Governor Gavin Newsom replace Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee?

It is personally painful for a lot of people.” Could Biden actually be replaced? 3:30pm- Michael Brendan Dougherty of National Review writes: “Instantly last night, the sentence ‘Joe Biden is unfit for office' was transmuted from a right-wing disinformation campaign to liberal conventional wisdom…It was plainly obvious in February, when, after Robert Hur's report came out saying that Biden was an elderly man struggling with memory problems, Biden then came out in a press conference and gave the kind of performance that causes families to put their aging patriarch into the care of an institution…Everyone in elite media and Democratic politics knew that Biden was not really up to the job, and sometimes barely competent.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/06/the-covid-era-echo-chamber-collapsed-on-joe-biden-at-last/ 3:50pm- Recapping last night's debate, John Favreau—Host of Pod Save America & former Barack Obama Speechwriter—called Joe Biden's performance a “disaster.” 4:05pm- In his first appearance since last night's presidential debate, Donald Trump spoke before a crowd in Chesapeake, Virginia. 4:15pm- Media Panic: Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough hilariously butted heads over Joe Biden's debate performance—though, both conceded it was not a good night for the president or the Democrat Party.

Philip Elliott and Kohe Ewe explore the possibility in their latest article for Time. They explain: “At present, there is no clear-cut mechanism to replace Biden as the party's nominee—he already won more than enough delegates during the primaries to secure his nomination ahead of the Democrats' national convention in August. Still, there are ways for Democrats to end up with someone other than Biden at the top of the ticket, especially if Biden willingly steps aside—but the timing, and the Democratic National Committee's own regulations, has a lot to do with what's possible, let alone plausible. (Not to mention the challenge of settling on a replacement.)” You can read the full article here: https://time.com/6993607/could-democrats-replace-biden-nominee-explainer/ 5:05pm- During one notable exchange at Thursday's presidential debate on CNN, Joe Biden concluded a statement by saying he had “beaten Medicare.” In response, Donald Trump hilariously noted, “well, he is right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death.” 5:10pm- On Thursday night, CNN hosted 2024's first presidential debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. Who won the debate? The New York Times polled their opinion columnists—and despite progressives greatly outnumbering conservatives, 10 of 12 columnists thought Trump won, with 2 concluding the candidates battled to a draw, and 0 choosing Biden. Similarly, CNN conducted a flash poll which indicated that 67% of debate watchers thought Trump won, with 33% selecting Biden. 5:15pm- One pre-debate poll measuring national support in the 2024 presidential election had Donald Trump at 41% and Joe Biden at 43%. That same poll now has Trump at 50% and Biden at 42% following CNN's presidential debate. 5:20pm- According to a new, shocking poll out of New Jersey, Donald Trump is now beating Joe Biden by 1% in the Garden State. 5:40pm- Zack Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in Heritage's Meese Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to examine the Supreme Court's landmark decisions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce. The near identical cases resulted in the upending of precedent established in 1984 by the Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council decision. Today's decision delivers a massive blow to unchecked power held by the administrative state—which will no longer be permitted to ostensibly alter Congressional acts via loose interpretations without judicial checks on that power.    6:05pm- Recapping last night's debate, John Favreau—Host of Pod Save America & former Barack Obama Speechwriter—called Joe Biden's performance a “disaster.” 6:10pm- During one notable exchange at Thursday's presidential debate on CNN, Joe Biden concluded a statement by saying he had “beaten Medicare.” In response, Donald Trump hilariously noted, “well, he is right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death.” 6:15pm- Media Panic: Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough hilariously butted heads over Joe Biden's debate performance—though, both conceded it was not a good night for the president or the Democrat Party. MSNBC's Joy Reid said that the reaction she has received from Democrat insiders is panic. Similarly, while on NBC News, Chuck Todd explained “there is a full-on panic about this performance, not ‘oh like this is recoverable' it's more of an ‘ok, he's got to step aside.'” 6:30pm- Immediately following Thursday's debate, Democrat strategists and left-leaning television anchors began asking whether the party should replace Joe Biden as their presidential candidate given his poor performance and inability to consistently organize his thoughts while answering questions. For example, former Obama Administration Advisor Van Jones told CNN that “there are going to be a lot of people who want [Biden] to consider taking a different course now…That was not what we needed from Joe Biden. It is personally painful for a lot of people.” Could Biden actually be replaced? 6:40pm- On Friday, the Supreme Court issued landmark decisions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce. The near identical cases resulted in the upending of precedent established in 1984 by the Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council decision. Today's decision delivers a massive blow to unchecked power held by the administrative state—which will no longer be permitted to ostensibly alter Congressional acts via loose interpretations without judicial checks on that power. 6:50pm- Could California Governor Gavin Newsom replace Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee? 

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the Supreme Court just ducked a critical free speech and government control of communications issue thanks to Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and John Roberts. Barrett decided she's a politician, not a Justice. Kavanaugh will go one way or the other and Roberts is destroying the Court. They just handed the Biden administration a massive iron fist by allowing them to continue to moderate ‘misinformation' on social sites. It seems the Supreme Court has a new tactic - to let stand what's being appealed to the Court by simply claiming there is no standing. The idea there wasn't standing in this case is preposterous. The other big Supreme Court case we're waiting on, that no one is talking about is Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council. This was the mother of all attacks on capitalism, it gave so much power to the bureaucracy. This decision will impact your lives for decades to come. Also, the crime from this illegal immigrant invasion didn't start occurring to this extent until Biden became president. President Biden will point fingers and blame Donald Trump and the Republicans for not passing his bipartisan immigration reform. Democrats have a new answer when confronted on illegal immigrant crime – Americans are worse than illegals. Later, a Biden law that claimed to boost renewable energy is helping a solar company reap billions of dollars. This is the greatest economic scam in American history, and they wrap themselves in self-righteousness. Afterward, the DNC is now officially linked to lawfare against Trump. Dana Bash and her ilk constantly ask where's the evidence tying Biden and the Democrat Party to lawfare against Trump. Here's the evidence, “DNC Sent Millions To Law Firms Behind ‘Unprecedented Lawfare' Campaign Against Trump.” Biden is the head of the DNC. Nothing of this kind is done without at least Biden being informed about it. Biden uses government resources to register Democrats in violation of the Hatch Act. He uses tax dollars to buy votes in violation of the Constitution, like the student loan program. He issues executive orders and his administration issues regulations in furtherance of his radical base's demands. He lies about everything, including the Hunter laptop, his business activities with Hunter, his use of classified information to secure a massive $8 million book advance, and on and on. Biden is a diabolical, cynical, unethical person and politician. Finally, candidate Tim Sheehy calls in to discuss his election run against Montana Senator Jon Tester.
