POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down the details of the bill and how it’s exposing larger divisions among Republicans over how to integrate climate into trade policy. Plus, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority seems poised to weaken the power of federal agencies after Wednesday’s oral arguments in the Chevron deference case.  For more news on energy and the environment, subscribe to Power Switch, our free evening newsletter: https://www.politico.com/power-switch And for even deeper coverage and analysis, read our Morning Energy newsletter by subscribing to POLITICO Pro: https://subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter-archive/morning-energy Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.
