The Supreme Court issued a ruling Thursday that significantly
constrained the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate
wetlands under the Clean Water Act. The decision is a major blow to the
Biden administration’s efforts to protect millions of acres of wetlands
while delivering a victory to multiple powerful industries, including
mining, oil and gas and homebuilding. POLITICO’s Annie Snider breaks
down the details of the ruling. Plus, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration projects a "near normal" Atlantic hurricane
season, but officials cautioned other factors could complicate that
forecast.
