EPA cutting the crap.. Director Lee Zeldin and the Trump administration plans to roll back major climate policies they say are crippling business.
In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency is dismantling a vehicle pollution rule the Biden administration finalized in March 2024, which — by mandating less pollution from cars — would have pushed US automakers to produce more EVs and fuel-efficient hybrid models that run on a mixture of gas and small batteries.
The fresh pendulum swing for regulations could have a major impact on the auto industry struggling to sell electric vehicles that the public has largely rejected.

Miles of protected Amazon rainforest cleared for highway to UN climate summit
Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil will remain in a federal immigration detention facility in Louisiana, days after he was arrested for his role in protests against the Israel-Hamas war at Columbia University last spring.
His green card was revoked by the Trump administration, his lawyer said, but a New York federal judge blocked any immediate effort to deport Khalil until his attorneys and the federal government appear in court. Khalil’s move to Louisiana was “further retaliation” for “challenging the validity of his arrest and detention,” according to his attorneys. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt at a news briefing Tuesday accused Khalil of organizing “group protests that not only disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish-American students and made them feel unsafe on their own college campus, but also distributed pro-Hamas propaganda."
