NCBA's Ethan Lane says the EPA's new WOTUS rule will be harder to change in future administrations. China purchased U.S. soybeans this week, but not because of the price.

The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers released a new rule Monday on the Waters of the U.S. or WOTUS, law. Courtney Briggs, Senior Director of Government Affairs with the American Farm Bureau Federation, outlines some of the highlights.

ADP shows that employment is on a rebound. Trump has inflation under control, and a 150 years of data proves that he was right again, the [CB] mislead the public. The [DS] is in trouble, Trump & Elon set them up, remember when Elon said Trump was in the Epstein files. Now the D's and the fake news do not know how to get out of this and Trump has called for an investigation. The gloves are off. Trump is sending a clear message to the [DS], everything you put into place is now being reversed. The people are taking back control, Tariffs are more important than anyone realizes.   Economy EU cuts economic growth forecast for 2026 The European Commission has cut its forecast for the bloc's economic growth in 2026 amid risks posed by US tariffs and geopolitical tensions. In its twice-yearly outlook released on Monday, the European Commission said it expects the eurozone to grow by 1.2% next year, down from 1.4%, and the broader EU to grow by 1.4% instead of 1.5%. It added that the downgrade reflects higher-than-expected US tariffs on EU exports and uncertainty over possible further US moves.   Source: rt.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); ADP Employment Report Signals Rebound In Labor Market; Claims Confirm Resilience  For the four weeks ending Oct. 31, 2025, private employers shed an average of 2,500 jobs a week, according to ADP's new weekly employment report update, suggesting that the labor market improved significantly in the last week (from an 11,250 average drop during the prior week). Extrapolating with some simple math that implies a monthly drop of 10,000 jobs... While job growth is admittedly sluggish, ADP reports that new hires are on the upswing: In October, new hires accounted for 4.4 percent of all employees, ADP payroll data shows, up from 3.9 percent a year ago. This growing share of new hires would seem to run counter to the slowed pace of hiring. That contradiction tells us a lot about today's jobs market.   New hires typically fluctuates with the business cycle, but the aging U.S. workforce means that demographics have begun playing a bigger role in hiring decisions.    Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/epaleezeldin/status/1990539413550420062?s=20  Under the Clean Water Act of 1972, the federal government regulates pollution and activities in certain bodies of water to protect water quality. WOTUS defines which waters fall under this federal jurisdiction—things like rivers, lakes, streams, and wetlands. The definition has been contentious for decades because a broader one means more federal oversight (e.g., requiring permits for development, farming, or industrial activities near those waters), while a narrower one shifts more control to states and reduces regulations on private land use. What is the Sackett decision?In the 2023 Supreme Court case Sackett v. EPA, the Court (in a 5-4 ruling) significantly limited the EPA's authority by narrowing WOTUS to include only "relatively permanent" bodies of water with a "continuous surfac...

What waters are considered “waters of the United States” or WOTUS under the Clean Water Act (CWA)? This question is critical because it determines which waters are regulated under the statute. The EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have struggled to develop a definition that can pass legal muster, in large part because they have tried to regulate waters that go beyond their statutory authority. For many years, the courts didn’t provide clarity either. But in 2023, the US Supreme Court in Sackett v. EPA specified what waters are regulated, including to what extent wetlands are covered. Currently, a new proposed WOTUS rule is being reviewed by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. What should the rule include and what is required for the rule to be consistent with Sackett? The Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Daren Bakst discusses this important issue with Charles Yates, an attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation who was on the litigation team that represented Chantel and Michael Sacket before the US Supreme Court.
