Senate votes to revoke California’s ability to set air pollution standards | TechCrunch

The Senate voted 51 to 44 to revoke California's waiver to set strict vehicle air pollution standards, impacting 16 other states and D.C. following these standards. This decision targets California’s zero-emissions vehicle mandate requiring increased zero-emissions car sales from 2026 to a complete transition by 2035. Despite California’s success, with 25.3% of new light-duty vehicles being zero-emissions last year, automakers challenge the 2026 targets. The Senate’s move defies advisory rulings against the waiver's revocation.

Meta beats censorship lawsuit by RFK Jr's anti-vaccine group

Meta Platforms has won an appeal against anti-vaccine group Children's Health Defense, which challenged the platform's censorship of vaccine misinformation. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Children's Health Defense failed to prove that Meta collaborated with or was influenced by federal officials to suppress vaccine-related views. Meta, formerly Facebook, has been flagging false vaccine information and restricting the group's advertising rights. The court upheld Meta's decision, stating that the company has a First Amendment right to refuse promotion of views it finds objectionable.
