EPA seeks more time on PFAS water rule
The agency is asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for another 45-day pause in litigation challenging last year's first-ever national drinking water rule for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.
EPA has said it will maintain stringent limits in tap water for two substances, PFOA and PFOS, while giving water utilities an additional two years to meet those limits. But it is still considering to what extent it will regulate other PFAS included in the Biden-era rule. EPA says it will propose a new rule in the fall.

'EPA is still evaluating the impact of its planned reconsideration and compliance extension proceedings on the issues presented in this case,' attorneys for EPA said in the new court filing. 'This evaluation has taken longer than anticipated at the time EPA filed its last motion to govern.'

National Guard Soldiers Prepare to Carry Weapons in Washington, D.C.
National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C. are preparing to carry weapons in the coming days, according to people familiar with the change, a shift that comes days after President Trump said he was sending them to 'take back' the capital from what he described as violent criminals. Defense officials had previously said the 800 National Guard soldiers deployed to the city wouldn't be armed, unlike many federal law enforcement agents sent to the capital. They also weren't to have weapons in their vehicles. 'Weapons are available if needed but will remain in the armory,' the U.S. Army said in a press release Thursday.
