Today’s Headlines: The Supreme Court has undermined the Chevron deference, a precedent that allowed federal agencies to enact rules in their areas of expertise. This decision could impact regulations on clean air, water, vehicle safety, emissions, anti-discrimination protections, and consumer rights, shifting power to the judiciary and hindering law enforcement. This ruling is particularly significant as it aligns with Donald Trump's Project 2025 agenda to dismantle the administrative state and favor corporate interests. In another ruling, the Supreme Court favored January 6th rioters by dismissing obstruction charges related to their attempt to stop the 2020 election certification. This decision could affect Donald Trump's own obstruction charges in his criminal indictment. Additionally, the Supreme Court extended its term to decide on Trump's immunity claim regarding election interference. The decision, expected soon, could delay trial proceedings past the election. The Court also upheld an Oregon ban on unhoused individuals sleeping in public spaces, ruling it does not violate the 8th amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon is set to begin a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress after the Supreme Court refused to hear his case.On the international front, France's far-right National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, is leading in first-round voting, with President Macron's centrist party potentially finishing third behind a new left-wing coalition. Lastly, Hurricane Beryl has rapidly intensified to a category 4 storm, expected to impact Barbados, the Grenadines, St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Windward and Leeward Islands with significant storm surge flooding.
