Though the hold was lifted, it was not immediately clear if permitting had resumed. 2/6 Transportation Department orders freeze of EV charging infrastructure program Memorandum - A Transportation Department memo ordered the suspension of $5 billion in federal funding, authorized by Congress under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, for states to build electric vehicle chargers. 2/11 SEC starts process to kill climate disclosure rule Memorandum - The acting chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission paused the government's legal defense of a rule requiring companies to identify the impact of their business on climate in regulatory findings. The rule was challenged in court by 19 Republican state attorneys general and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright's Liberty Energy, among others. 2/14 EPA fires hundreds of staff Memorandum - The Trump administration's relentless assault on science and career expertise at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continued today with the firing of almost 400 staff who had ‘probationary' status. 2/14 DOE issues the first LNG export authorization under new Trump administration DOE Secretary Wright issued an export authorization for the Commonwealth LNG project in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, despite a 2024 DOE report finding that unfettered LNG exports increase energy bills and climate pollution. 2/18 Trump issues order stripping independent agencies of independence EO - Trump signed an executive order stripping independent regulatory agencies, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of their independence, moving them to submit proposed rules and final regulations for review by the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) and granting the attorney general exclusive authority over legal interpretations of rules. The order is likely to be challenged as Congress created these agencies specifically to be insulated from White House interference. 2/19 Zeldin recommends striking endangerment finding Memorandum - After Trump's "Unleashing American Energy" executive order, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has told the White House he would recommend rescinding the bedrock justification defining six climate pollutants – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride – as air pollution to be regulated by the Clean Air Act. 2/19 Trump administration moves to rescind all CEQ regulatory authority Rulemaking - The Trump administration has moved to rescind the Council on Environmental Quality's role in crafting and implementing environmental regulations, revoking all CEQ orders since 1977 that shape how federal agencies comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires the government to consider and disclose environmental impacts of its actions. 2/19 Trump directs agencies to make deregulation recommendations to DOGE EO - Trump issues executive order directing agencies to work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to make recommendations that will accelerate Trump's efforts to dismantle regulations across the federal government as part of his 10 out, 1 in policy. Among the protections likely to be in DOGE's crosshairs are those that keep polluters from ignoring environmental laws and protect clean air and water. 2/19 FEMA staff advised to scrub "changing climate" and other climate terms from documents Memorandum - A Federal Emergency Management Agency memo listed 10 climate-related words and phrases, including "changing climate," “climate resilience,” and “net zero," to be removed from FEMA documents. The memo comes after USDA workers were ordered to scrub mentions of climate change from websites. 2/21 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Director Placed on Administrative Leave Guidance - According to media reports, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin has put the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) director on administrative leave. The GGRF is a $27 billion federal financing program that addresses the climate crisis and is injecting billions of dollars in local economic development projects to lower energy prices and reduce pollution especially in the rural, urban, and Indigenous communities most impacted by climate change and frequently left behind by mainstream finance. 2/27 Hundreds fired as layoffs begin at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Guidance - On Thursday, February 27, about 800 employees at NOAA, the agency responsible for the nation's bedrock weather, climate, fisheries, and marine research, were fired in the latest round of Trump administration-led layoffs. The layoffs could jeopardize NOAA's ability to provide life-saving severe weather forecasts, long-term climate monitoring, deep-sea research and fisheries management, and other essential research and policy. 3/10 Energy secretary says climate change a worthwhile tradeoff for growth Announcement - Speaking at the CERAWeek conference, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Trump administration sees climate change as “a side effect of building the modern world,” and pledged to “end the Biden administration's irrational, quasi-religious policies on climate change." 3/10 Zeldin, Musk Cut $1.7B in Environmental Justice Grants Guidance - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the cancellation of 400 environmental justice-related grants, in violation of a court order barring the Trump administration from freezing "equity-based" grants and contracts. 3/11 EPA eliminates environmental justice offices, staff Memorandum - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin ordered the closure of environmental justice offices at the agency's headquarters and at all 10 regional offices and eliminate all related staff positions "immediately." The reversal comes just days after the EPA reinstated environmental justice and civil rights employees put on leave in early February. 3/12 EPA Announcement to Revise "Waters of the United States" Rule Announcement - The EPA will redefine waters of the US, or WOTUS, to comply with the US Supreme Court's 2023 ruling in Sackett v. EPA, which lifted Clean Water Act jurisdiction on many wetlands, Administrator Lee Zeldin said 3/14 Zeldin releases 31-rollback ‘hit list' Memorandum (announced, not in effect as of 4/10) - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans to dismantle federal air quality and carbon pollution regulations, identifying 31 actions ranging from from soot standards and power plant pollution rules to the endangerment finding – the scientific and legal underpinning of the Clean Air Act. 3/14 EPA halts enforcement of pollution rules at energy facilities Memorandum - According to a leaked memo, the EPA's compliance office has halted enforcement of pollution regulations on energy facilities and barred consideration of environmental justice concerns. The memo states: "Enforcement and compliance assurance actions shall not shut down any stage of energy production (from exploration to distribution) or power generation absent an imminent and substantial threat to human health or an express statutory or regulatory requirement to the contrary.” 3/14 Trump revokes order encouraging renewables EO - Trump signed an executive order rescinding a Biden-era proclamation encouraging the development of renewable energy. Biden's order under the Defense Production Act permitted the Department of Energy to direct funds to scale up domestic production of solar and other renewable technologies. 3/17 EPA plans to eliminate science staff Memorandum - Leaked documents describe plans to lay off as many as 1,155 scientists from labs across the country. These chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists are among the experts who monitor air and water quality, cleanup of toxic waste, and more. 3/16 EPA invites waivers on mercury pollution and other hazardous pollutants Memorandum - The EPA invited coal- and oil-fired power plants to apply for exemptions to limits on mercury and other toxic pollutants under the Clean Air Act. Mercury is an extremely dangerous pollutant that causes brain damage to babies and fetuses; in addition to mercury, pollution from power plants includes hazardous chemicals that can lead to cancer, or damage to the lungs, kidneys, nervous system and cardiovascular system. 4/3 Trump administration adds "deregulation suggestion" website A new page on regulations.gov allows members of the public to submit "deregulation" ideas. The move is the latest in the Trump administration's efforts to slash public health, safety, and climate safeguards, and comes soon after the administration offered companies the opportunity to send the EPA an email if they wished to be exempted from Clean Air Act protections. 4/8 Series of four EOs to boost coal  EO - Under the four orders, Trump uses his emergency authority to allow some older coal-fired power plants set for retirement to keep producing electricity to meet rising U.S. power demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and electric cars. Trump also directed federal agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lift barriers to coal mining and prioritize coal leasing on U.S. lands. In a related action, Trump also signed a proclamation offering coal-fired power plants a two-year exemption from federal requirements to reduce emissions of toxic chemicals such as mercury, arsenic and benzene. 4/9 Executive Order Attacking State Climate Laws EO - Directs the U.S. Attorney General to sue or block state climate policies deemed "burdensome" to fossil fuel interests — including laws addressing climate change, ESG investing, carbon taxes, and environmental justice. 4/9 New expiration dates on existing energy rules EO - The order directs ten agencies and subagencies to assign one-year expiration dates to existing energy regulations. If they are not extended, they will expire no later than September 30, 2026, according to a White House fact sheet on the order. The order also said any new regulations should include a five-year expiration, unless they are deregulatory. That means any future regulations would only last for five years unless they are extended. 4/17 Narrow Endangered Species Act to allow for habitat destruction The Trump administration is proposing to significantly limit the Endangered Species Act's power to preserve crucial habitats by changing the definition of one word: harm. The Endangered Species Act prohibits actions that “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” endangered plants and animals. The word “harm” has long been interpreted to mean not just the direct killing of a species, but also severe harm to their environment  

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Lauren Sackett, CEO at the Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce in Northern Wisconsin and Vice Chair of the Oneida County Tourism Council. We discuss her destination's commitment to becoming more inclusive and accessible and why this is a positive business decision. Lauren also digs into how hosting events like the US Deaf Golf Championship and Ski for Light provided practical insights that shaped their current accessible initiatives. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Lauren and her organization are focusing on making Rhinelander more inclusive and accessible for diverse travelers What innovative strategies Lauren and her team are implementing to enhance accessibility, including detailed trail mapping and improved website information Lauren shares the experience and impact of hosting events such as the US Deaf Golf Championship and Ski for Light, and how these have helped shift perspectives on inclusivity How the creative approach to the region's mythological mascot, the Hodag, has become a great tourism driver for Rhinelander Why the formation of the Northwoods Chamber Collaborative has been a successful model for idea sharing and regional support The New Face of Cooperative Tourism At the core of Rhinelander's tourism growth is coopetition, and Lauren emphasizes that when neighboring destinations work together, they create greater potential for shared success. Through the Northwoods Chamber Collaborative, DMOs and chambers gather quarterly to share insights, tackle common challenges, and support collective growth. This collaboration builds an ecosystem of shared learning and resource optimization. Promoting Accessible Travel A strong commitment to inclusivity and diversity underpins Rhinelander's tourism approach. They place a huge emphasis on equipping their website with features that support minority-owned businesses and ensure accessibility details are readily available. The introduction of detailed GIS mapping for trails has also seriously boosted accessibility awareness, providing visitors with important information about trail conditions and amenities. This is especially important in 2025, when travelers value destinations where they feel welcome and accommodated. It translates into longer stays and stronger economic impacts on destinations. Hosting events like the US Deaf Golf Championship and Ski for Light provided practical insights that shaped current initiatives, such as developing printed and digital trail guides enriched with GPS features to enhance visitor experience. The local community has also been keen to display support through window stickers, and their grassroots enthusiasm underscores the region's commitment to transformation, not just for tourists but for local residents too. Redefining Success Stories in Tourism Rhinelander's approach to tourism isn't just about increasing visitor numbers; it's about crafting memorable experiences that resonate with diverse audiences. The town, famously associated with the mythical Hodag, harnesses this culturally significant symbol, featuring it in festivals and marketing materials.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says they are working with the Corps of Engineers to deliver on President's Trump's promise to review the definition of “waters of the United States.”

Bespoke care and concierge care are both innovative approaches to healthcare, but they serve different purposes.   By the Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today.   Words are my passion. While I'm not perfect at grammar (obviously!), I do manage every now and then to string a few thoughts together that resonate with some Physicians out there. I'm also intrigued by how our culture repurposes and rebrands words to promote specific narratives and ideas. And, ever since Mrs. Nielson, my 8th-grade Advanced Language Arts teacher, told me, “You have a gift; keep writing,” I've loved using words. I'm smitten by the science of language and constantly on a hunt to learn the new ways our words are being reused, rebranded, refined and redefined by our culture.   One term worth revisiting is “bespoke.”   If you're not familiar with it in the healthcare context, let me explain. The word ‘bespoke' is probably more familiar to our European healthcare audience than our North American audience and that's okay.   To summarize, I'll do what you might be doing right now, ‘Googling' it.

On this episode, we were joined by Eric Sackett, a college and career transition counselor with DMACC.

In this episode of the AgNet News Hour, hosts Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni discuss the impact of heavy rainfall on Central Valley agriculture, emphasizing the need for fungicide treatment and the challenges farmers face in accessing fields. Betty Resnick, an economist from the American Farm Bureau Federation, highlighted the US export deficit, noting a projected $49 billion deficit in 2025, with soybean and corn exports showing stagnation. She also discussed the potential of biofuels, particularly ethanol, which saw a 36% increase in exports in 2024. The conversation also touched on the difficulty of switching crops and the importance of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable energy in California's agricultural market. In segment two, Nick and Lorrie talk about Trump administration's changes to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), particularly the Waters of the US rule. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a new rule to align with the Supreme Court's Sackett decision, aiming to clarify jurisdiction over waterways and wetlands. The rule aims to reduce regulatory burden on farmers and property owners. The conversation also touched on the Trump administration's plans to rescind vehicle fuel efficiency standards. The show rounded out with a discussion of the potential deregulation of 31 environmental regulations, including climate-smart agriculture and electric vehicle mandates affecting California by 2031. A genetic mutation of bird flu was identified in four dairy cow herds in San Bernardino, California, raising concerns about mammal-to-mammal transmission and disease severity. Cooking meat to 165 degrees Fahrenheit inactivates viruses. The discussion also touched on the high cost of eggs and the recent decline in gas prices. Additionally, the show highlighted an upcoming citrus expo in Tampa, Florida, and the expansion of the citrus greening quarantine area in Orange County.

On this episode, NCBA Chief Counsel Mary-Thomas Hart joins to share an update on the Trump Administration's new focus on Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS). Hart explains how the Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) is currently accepting feedback on WOTUS with the goal of bringing regulations in line with the Supreme Court's Sackett v. EPA decision. Hart describes how NCBA has engaged on WOTUS through numerous presidential administrations and explains how cattle producers can engage directly with the EPA to shape a future WOTUS definition.

Hiring is broken - but not for the reasons you think. Recruiters flood hiring managers with candidates, yet decision-makers hesitate to pull the trigger. The process drags, top talent walks, and organizations pay the price. Tim Sackett isn't here to sugarcoat it. In this unfiltered solo session, he lays out why the hiring machine is failing and what needs to change. From hiring managers' paradoxical indecision to the myth of "more candidates = better hires," he breaks down how talent acquisition teams have conditioned bad behavior - and why fixing it requires a shift in trust, process, and execution. Then there's Elon Musk. His blunt demand for accountability in government sent HR circles into a tailspin, but is he wrong? Sackett cuts through the noise to dissect why performance management is broken and why most leaders are afraid to ask their employees the one question that actually matters. The workforce is shifting. The hiring game is changing. If you're still playing by the old rules, you're already behind.

Travis Sackett was an experienced traveler with a passion for service.  He dedicated years to volunteering with AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, working in Peru and Guatemala, and most recently, lending a hand in Ecuador. In February 2021, just two months into his stay in Ecuador, Travis set out on what should have been a routine hike. The trail wasn't particularly challenging, and witnesses reported seeing him during the day. But he never returned. Was it a tragic accident along the path? Or could something more sinister have occurred? Despite extensive searches, no trace of Travis has ever been found. To this day, his disappearance remains a mystery.  What really happened to Travis Sackett? Listen as we dive into Ecuador, the case of Travis Sackett, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Broadcasting live from the Shaker Green Room at RecFest USA, Tim Sackett—dropped some truth bombs with Joel Cheesman about the cringe-worthy mistakes corporations make in their talent acquisition hustle. Oh, and guess what? Sackett's cooking up another book, creatively titled Talent Fix Volume 2—because one wasn't enough. Expect fresh content, hot takes, and, presumably, a few digs at HR's favorite buzzwords. Sackett didn't hold back on the AI hype train, either. Turns out, he's underwhelmed by the industry's cutting-edge "meh" when it comes to applying AI in TA. Meanwhile, corporate America is flailing with performance management as everyone adjusts to the post-pandemic reality of low unemployment. Spoiler: leaders are still allergic to honest performance conversations. Fast forward to 2025, and Sackett has a bold prediction: recruiters won't just recruit anymore—they'll transform into talent advisors, focusing on team dynamics and playing corporate therapist. Vendors, take note: Sackett thinks it's your job to coach TA leaders through this glow-up. No pressure.

Jarboe (English, Lucas, Priest & Owsley, LLP) provides a succinct summary of the history of federal regulation of wetlands under section 404 of the Clean Water Act, outlining the seminal Supreme Court decisions that steered the agency rulemaking and set the stage for the Sackett decision.  The speakers delve into the Rapanos case and subsequent rulemaking, explaining how these developments informed the Supreme Court, led to multiple lawsuits across multiple states, and culminated in the Court's strongly-worded opinion in U.S. v. Sackett that virtually everyone agrees served to narrow the scope of federal jurisdiction over wetlands.  Importantly, listeners will hear the latest updates in the litigation challenging the most recent agency rulemaking, how federal courts are interpreting Sackett across the country, and how federal agencies are handling requests for jurisdictional determinations under the regulatory regime that Sackett left in its wake. Tune in to hear their predictions on what comes next.

Thanks to the Memphis Sands Aquifer, Memphis has some of the best drinking water in the world. But the quality of that water may be at risk due to the recent Supreme Court ruling in Sackett v. EPA, which stripped federal protections from a massive amount of wetlands across the country, including the wetlands that help "recharge" and filter the water flowing into our very own aquifer. Recent state legislation introduced last year, and still under review, sought to further roll back wetland protections in Tennessee in favor of development. And with the wetlands in West TN sitting right under Ford's under construction "Blue Oval City," the need to protect these "superheroes" of nature is more vital than ever. Sarah Houston, Executive Director of Protect Our Aquifer, joins the podcast to help explain the importance of the aquifer, not only to Memphis and Tennessee, but also the greater Mid-South region. She dives into the details pertaining to this proposed legislation and explains why protecting these wetlands is one of the truly most bi-partisan issues imaginable. Houston also discusses how the changes proposed by these bills could drastically affect waterways, water quality, and ways of life throughout the entire state of Tennessee, from recreational fishing and hunting, to agriculture, to whole economies in regions throughout the state.

This Day in Legal History: Amnesty for Vietnam War EvadersOn September 16, 1974, President Gerald Ford announced a conditional amnesty program for Vietnam War draft evaders and deserters. This program offered clemency to those who had resisted the draft or abandoned their military posts, provided they completed two years of public service. Ford aimed to foster national reconciliation following the divisive Vietnam War, allowing many to return to the U.S. without facing legal consequences. The program was administered by the Presidential Clemency Board, chaired by Charles E. Goodell, a Washington lawyer. Over its tenure, the board reviewed more than 14,000 cases, granting amnesty in many instances. However, the program drew criticism for being too limited in scope. Only about 19 percent of those eligible applied, with many feeling that the required public service was an unfair penalty. The conditional amnesty remains a significant moment in the legal and political aftermath of the Vietnam War, as it represented a complex attempt to balance accountability with forgiveness.A legal dispute between attorney Meagan Garland and her law firm, Duane Morris, has intensified over the firm's classification of certain lawyers as "non-equity partners." Garland, a Black woman, is suing the firm, alleging that it misclassified her and others to reduce tax liabilities and business costs. She also claims Duane Morris pays women and minorities less than white male colleagues. The firm has responded by seeking to move the case from Oakland to San Diego, where Garland works, and plans to call anonymous partners to testify about her alleged poor job performance and extended medical leave. Garland's team has accused the firm of conducting a "smear campaign" and violating her privacy rights by referencing her medical history in court. The case is notable for challenging the increasingly common non-equity partner designation in major law firms, with Garland seeking class-action status on behalf of similarly classified partners. Duane Morris, represented by Proskauer Rose, denies the allegations and has committed to defending itself vigorously.Duane Morris, Partner Clash Escalates in Non-Equity Status SuitTikTok is fighting a potential U.S. ban in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, with arguments centered around a law signed by President Biden that would force its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app. TikTok, ByteDance, and a group of users argue the law violates the First Amendment by infringing on free speech for the platform's 170 million U.S. users. The U.S. government views TikTok as a national security threat due to its ties to China, though evidence supporting this remains debated. Competitors like Google and Meta could benefit if TikTok loses, and Oracle, which hosts TikTok's services, could be hurt. The court is expected to rule by December 6, with the ban set to take effect on January 19, unless TikTok prevails or the case advances to the Supreme Court. Multiple challenges to the ban will be heard, and the case may hinge on whether the government can use classified information in its arguments.TikTok Battles US Ban at Appeals Court to Determine App's FateTikTok, Justice Department face off in court over potential US ban | ReutersRupert Murdoch's succession plans for his media empire are being contested in a closed court in Reno, Nevada. The 93-year-old mogul is attempting to modify the family trust, which controls significant stakes in Fox News and News Corp, to ensure that his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, maintains control after his death. The trust currently allocates voting shares to Murdoch's four oldest children—Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, and James—raising the potential for a power struggle, as three siblings could outvote Lachlan. A sealed court document suggests Murdoch's proposed changes would prevent Lachlan's more moderate siblings from interfering. The court proceedings, closed to the public despite media appeals, focus on whether Murdoch is acting in good faith. Lachlan, seen as aligned with his father's conservative views, runs Fox, while James, who left News Corp's board in 2020 over editorial disagreements, supports progressive causes. The outcome of this legal battle could shape the future of Murdoch's influential media assets.Murdoch succession drama plays out in closed court | ReutersThe Biden administration's assertion that it has jurisdiction over most wetlands on Alaska's North Slope under the Clean Water Act is sparking legal tensions. This claim comes despite a 2023 Supreme Court ruling in Sackett v. EPA, which narrowed federal protections to wetlands that are “relatively permanent” and have a continuous surface connection to larger waterways. The Army Corps of Engineers argues that Alaska's unique permafrost conditions create enough physical connections to justify federal oversight, covering nearly all of the region's wetlands. Environmental attorneys, however, claim the Corps is overreaching and reviving the rejected "significant nexus" test, which expanded the scope of federal power over isolated wetlands. Critics argue this broad interpretation exceeds the limits set by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Alaska officials are pushing back, wanting more control over local development permits. The legal debate, focusing on the extent of federal jurisdiction, is expected to escalate, with lawsuits likely to follow.Biden Administration ‘Walking Thin Line' in Alaska Waters Claim This is a public episode.

Welcome to Supreme Court Opinions. In this episode, you'll hear the Court's opinion in Sackett v Environmental Protection Agency. In this case, the court considered this issue: What is the proper test for determining whether wetlands are “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act?  The case was decided on May 25, 2023. The Supreme Court held that The Clean Water Act extends only to wetlands that have a continuous surface connection with “waters” of the United States—i.e., with a relatively permanent body of water connected to traditional interstate navigable waters. Justice Samuel Alito authored the majority opinion of the Court that was unanimous in the judgment reversing and remanding. In 1973, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers, which jointly enforce the Clean Water Act, initially defined “the waters of the United States” differently. By 1980, they had adopted identical definitions, which encompassed “all waters that could affect interstate or foreign commerce.” Since then, they have repeatedly sought to define and redefine “waters of the United States” through rulemaking procedures. Despite this history, the Court found that the meaning of “waters” in the CWA encompasses “only those relatively permanent, standing, or continuously flowing bodies of water.” The mere presence of water is too broad; such a definition would include puddles and isolated ponds. Thus, wetlands are not per se “waters of the United States”; rather, only those with a continuous surface connection to traditional navigable waters fall within that category. Justice Clarence Thomas joined Justice Alito's majority opinion in full but concurred separately, along with Justice Neil Gorsuch, emphasizing the importance of curbing the expansion of federal authority through agency action. Justice Brett Kavanaugh authored an opinion concurring in the judgment, in which Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson joined. Justice Kavanaugh disagreed with the Court's “continuous surface connection” test because, in his view, it “departs from the statutory text, from 45 years of consistent agency practice,” and from the Court's own precedents. Justice Elena Kagan authored an opinion concurring in the judgment, in which Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined. Justice Kagan lamented that, in her opinion, the majority “substitutes its own ideas about policymaking for Congress's.” The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

This Day in Legal History: Smallpox EradicatedOn May 8, 1980, a landmark moment in public health and legal history was achieved when the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared smallpox eradicated. This declaration came in the form of Resolution WHA33.3, marking an unprecedented victory in the battle against infectious diseases. Smallpox, a devastating disease known for its brutal impact on human health and its high mortality rates, became the first disease to be eradicated by human effort.The journey to eradication was spearheaded by the WHO's Intensified Eradication Program, which began in 1967. This global effort was a monumental example of international cooperation, involving mass vaccination campaigns and rigorous surveillance practices across numerous countries. The legal framework provided by WHO played a crucial role, facilitating cooperation and compliance among member states.The eradication of smallpox was significant not only for its immediate health benefits but also for setting a precedent for global health governance. It demonstrated the power of collective human action guided by international law and cooperation. The resolution also led to the establishment of norms and practices that have influenced how global health issues are managed, including strategies for vaccine distribution and disease surveillance.Moreover, the eradication of smallpox has had lasting impacts on the legal aspects of public health. It has informed the international legal principles concerning the handling of biological samples, as the remaining samples of the virus are now held under strict legal and security controls to prevent any potential outbreaks.In the wake of smallpox eradication, the world saw the potential of what could be achieved when countries unite under a common cause. This success has inspired ongoing efforts to combat other infectious diseases, such as polio and malaria, through similar international frameworks.Today, the eradication of smallpox remains a testament to what can be accomplished through coordinated global public health initiatives backed by international legal agreements. It stands as a beacon of hope and a model that continues to influence global health diplomacy and international legal frameworks dealing with health emergencies.Robert D. White, a North Carolina landowner, is involved in a significant legal battle that has reached the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging the Clean Water Act's regulations concerning wetlands. The case revolves around whether parts of White's property along the Pasquotank River are distinguishable from the river itself, which would affect their classification as protected wetlands under federal law. This follows the Supreme Court's precedent in Sackett v. EPA, which tightened federal jurisdiction over wetlands by requiring a "continuous surface connection" making them indistinguishable from larger navigable waters.White's attorneys argue that the Biden administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation expands the definition of federally protected waters beyond what the Supreme Court's decision allows. The Justice Department, however, maintains that wetlands only need to abut larger bodies of water to qualify for protection. White's case underscores a broader legal and environmental debate about the scope of federal authority under the Clean Water Act, particularly following the Sackett decision.If White's challenge succeeds, it could significantly narrow the scope of wetland protections under the Clean Water Act, affecting nearly all U.S. wetlands. This legal challenge has broader implications for environmental protection regulations and property development rights, especially in how wetlands are federally categorized and protected. The outcome could set a precedent affecting the balance between environmental conservation and property rights across the nation.North Carolina Landowner Aims Wetlands Lawsuit at Supreme CourtThe U.S. House of Representatives, dominated by Republicans, was unable to override President Joe Biden's veto of a resolution aimed at overturning the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) new joint employer rule. The vote ended with 214 in favor and 191 against, failing to meet the two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto. The joint employer rule, which eases the criteria for determining when two companies are considered joint employers responsible for negotiating with unions and liable for labor violations, has faced strong opposition from Republicans and business groups. They argue that the rule could increase regulatory costs and negatively impact employment. Despite the legislative setback, the rule's implementation has been halted by a federal judge in Texas as of March, keeping it from taking effect for now.House Fails to Override Biden Veto of Joint Employer ResolutionTikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to block a new U.S. law that mandates ByteDance to divest its ownership of TikTok or face a ban on the app. This law, signed by President Joe Biden on April 24, targets the app which is used by 170 million Americans. The companies argue that the law infringes on First Amendment rights and is not feasible either commercially, technologically, or legally, claiming it would lead to TikTok's shutdown by January 19, 2025.The White House aims to remove Chinese ownership of TikTok citing national security concerns but prefers not to ban the app. The legal challenge is part of TikTok's broader effort to counteract what it views as a politically driven campaign against it, emphasizing its substantial investments in securing U.S. user data. The lawsuit also contends with interpretations of ByteDance's ownership structure and the feasibility of transferring TikTok's operations to a U.S. company, highlighting the technical and logistical complexities involved.This case is a continuation of the long-standing tensions between the U.S. and China over control and security of internet and technology, reflecting broader geopolitical conflicts over digital security and economic power.TikTok, ByteDance sue to block US law seeking sale or ban of app | ReutersThe trial of Sung Kook "Bill" Hwang, founder of Archegos Capital Management, is set to begin with jury selection this week in Manhattan federal court. Hwang and his former Chief Financial Officer, Patrick Halligan, are accused of racketeering and multiple counts of fraud and market manipulation related to the dramatic collapse of Archegos in March 2021. The prosecution alleges that Hwang used derivatives to covertly accumulate large stock positions, inflating stock prices and misleading banks to maintain crucial business relationships. Both Hwang and Halligan have pleaded not guilty, disputing the charges as an overreach of legal theories on market manipulation.Archegos Capital Management was a private investment firm that functioned as a family office, avoiding some regulations that typically apply to other investment entities. At its peak, Archegos managed $36 billion in assets and had a staggering $160 billion in exposure to equities. The firm's downfall was triggered by a swift drop in stock prices, leading to massive losses as banks called in their loans and liquidated holdings. This collapse resulted in over $100 billion in shareholder losses across various companies within Archegos's portfolio, impacting major banks like Credit Suisse and Nomura Holdings. The trial is expected to be complex and lengthy, with both Hwang's former head trader and Chief Risk Officer having pleaded guilty to related charges and set to testify.Bill Hwang's trial begins over collapse of his $36 billion Archegos fund | ReutersThe start of Donald Trump's federal trial in Florida, where he faces charges related to illegally retaining classified documents, has been indefinitely postponed. Originally set for May 20, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon did not schedule a new date, instead setting pre-trial hearings through July 22. This delay lessens the likelihood that Trump will stand trial before the November 5 U.S. election. Both the prosecution and defense had agreed the initial date was unfeasible.Trump has pleaded not guilty to 40 counts, which include accusations of storing sensitive national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and obstructing the government's efforts to retrieve them. The delay in this case parallels challenges in another federal case concerning Trump's actions related to the 2020 election, where the Supreme Court may grant him some immunity as a former president.Legal experts suggest that the timing of these trials, close to the election, could lead to claims of election interference. A potential win for Trump in the upcoming election could further complicate matters, as he could influence the continuation of these federal cases as president. Despite ongoing proceedings in other legal matters, including a New York state trial, Trump maintains that all charges against him are politically motivated.Trump documents trial start delayed indefinitely, judge orders | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

At the Farm, Heath is otherwise known as “Kathleen's husband.” He is the guy that floats around on the weekends lugging toolboxes, skill saw, sprinkler fittings, and plumbing implements – fixing this and that and trying to stay out of the boss-lady's way. Heath grew up in the Colorado mountains, living the rural life. He worked with horses from an early age. A big kid for his age, Heath spent the summer between 6th and 7th grade on a logging crew high up in the San Juan Mountains. His job was to section the felled logs into 8 ft lengths, and then run a team of gigantic draft horses to drag the logs out of the deep forest. He nicknamed the drafts Heckle and Jeckle due to their often caustic sense of humor.At age 13, he spent the summer working at a Colorado dude ranch, wrangling horses (and people). He learned how to drink coffee during those 4:30 am mornings. Herding 30 horses out of a 100-acre pasture every morning required caffeine and patience. Heath moved to South Dakota at age 14. With his mom's help, he his first business. He purchased 4 two-year-old colts, broke and trained them, and then sold them. The company was a bust, however, because he lost a quarter of his profits after falling in love and keeping “Good ol' Sackett” (who was a not a so “good” Arabian roan) Sackett was a runner. If you gave him his head, he would bolt, ears back, eyes white and manic. Heath truly had to cowboy up to get him under control. Quickly he devised a plan to only let Sackett “run” when he was headed uphill. It had to be a big hill, though, because if Sackett wasn't blown by the time he reached the top – the downhill white-eyed run was terrifying.Heath left home at 17 and moved to Aspen, Colorado. There he met a photographer while busing tables. The woman asked him to sit for some fashion photos. They weren't very good, but the experience began a new twisting trail in Heath's life. He moved to Los Angeles, did some modeling while also training horses in Malibu for a Hollywood film mogul, and within a few months, he was invited to model in Paris. He stayed in Europe for a year. (Where, incidentally, he was struck by lightning during a solo camping trek up Mont Blanc, but that's another story.)Back in LA, Heath quickly moved from modeling to acting. He worked with top celebrities and directors in the industry with stints in Wyatt Earp, Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman, and eventually as a series regular on The Young And the Restless. After 20 years, he transitioned again, from acting to writing, penning two novels and a memoir, and countless film and television scripts.Finally, he met Kathleen. Except for the western movies he performed in, Heath had been away from his equine roots for most of his time in Hollywood, and he could notbelieve his luck when he found a “horsewoman” in the middle of LA!In 2010,as he watched Kathleen working on her first variations of No Thrush powder and then saw how her colleagues kept begging her to make some more of her “Thrush Stuff,” Heath finally suggested,“This is clearly somethingthat works, and people seem to want it. We should make a big batch and see if it will sell.”That was the beginning. The husband and wife team worked in the garage into the late hours making powder and working out the logistics. There was a lot to learn! Internet sales went crazy right away, and they were up until midnight every night packing boxes. Soon No Thrush was in the local stores and then spreading outward in a ripple effect. Within a year, the product was sold nationally and had jumped the pond into the EU, Japan, AU, NZ, etc.Heath now runs the Four Oaks Products production facility. Just as he does on the weekends at the farm, he wears many hats and carries many toolboxes.Facebook personal -
