Trump EPA Reconsiders Asbestos Ban
President Donald Trump's administration is potentially taking steps to lift a full ban on asbestos — the cancer-causing mineral linked to tens of thousands of deaths each year.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reconsidering the ban put in place by former President Joe Biden. During a federal appeals court hearing on Monday, June 23, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the agency is re-examining the rule.

According to a court declaration obtained by the Associated Press, the EPA argues that Biden's ban may have gone "beyond what is necessary to eliminate the unreasonable risk and whether alternative measures — such as requiring permanent workplace protection measures — would eliminate the unreasonable risk."
Asbestos, which can cause mesothelioma and other cancers, has been mostly phased out in the U.S. Still, in 2024, the Biden administration implemented a complete ban on asbestos. At the time, the EPA reportedly called the move a historic step forward in the fight against cancer.
Zeldin's remarks sparked backlash online, with many users on X expressing their shock over the potential unbanning.
In a court filing, the EPA said it will review the ban over the next 30 months as it considers reversing the decision.
Chrysotile asbestos is found in products like brake blocks, sheet gaskets and asbestos diaphragms. It was banned under the Toxic Substances Control Act, which was expanded in 2016.
At the time of the ban, eight U.S. facilities in the chlor-alkali industry still used asbestos diaphragms to manufacture chlorine and sodium hydroxide. Those facilities were given at least five years to phase out asbestos.
While some leaders have spoken out about the investigation, the American Chemistry Council said it supports the EPA's action, emphasizing the importance of "a risk-based approach consistent with the best available science."
CNBC Anchor Compares Mamdani to Bane
CNBC anchor Joe Kernen compared New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani to a Batman villain. After the progressive politician's massive win over Andrew Cuomo in the primaries, the journalist referenced the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises to express his fears over Mamdani potentially running Manhattan.

"If you've seen what Batman is up against in Gotham and what the guy running for mayor is up against, that's what it reminds me of," the media personality said of the situation during a recent broadcast. "They're taking Wallstreeters and making them walk out onto the ice in the East River, in hope and then they fall through. There is a class warfare that's going on."
Kernen cited the 33-year-old's leftist policies and compared them to the action movie villain Bane's seizure of Gotham City. In the flick, the character says, "We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity. And we give it to you, the people."

While the comic book supervillain keeps control over the city, Jonathan Crane, a.k.a. the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy), presents each of the community's wealthy residents with a choice to die or walk out onto the ice of Gotham Harbor in exile.
Despite the fearmongering from the reporter, Mamdani has vowed to impose higher taxes on the wealthy in order to freeze rent prices. The member of the New York State Assembly has also promised to start government-run grocery stores, free bus rides and childcare.
"I think there's a question of how we return back to what made so many of us proud to be Democrats," the mayoral hopeful — who is a self-described Democratic Socialist — explained in a recent interview. "I think it's that focus on an economic agenda, on ensuring that people can do more than just struggle."

The Glam List: Best Bridal Ring Sets Spotted on A-List Fingers in 2025

In a year where fashion returned to detail, minimalism met drama and red carpets finally remembered romance, bridal jewelry followed suit. And not just any bridal jewelry — bridal sets.
From awards season to private ceremonies in Tuscany, we saw more A-listers embrace complete bridal ring sets that not only symbolize the moment but also tell the whole story, from "Yes" to "I do."
Whether you're deep into wedding planning or just daydreaming (no shame), we've rounded up the best bridal sets of 2025 — spotted on celebs, styled to perfection and available to shop right now (yes, even online).
What Makes a Bridal Set "A-List Worthy"?
It's not just about a huge center stone, though those still turn heads. The most beautiful bridal ring sets combine contemplative design with wearability for the long haul and beyond (think: future anniversary vibes).
Imagine: A statement-making engagement ring selection with a beautifully sculpted wedding band that perfectly complements without competing.
You'll see themes like:
–Lab-grown brilliance
-Modern vintage mashups
-Unconventional stones in classic settings
-Stackable designs are built for layering over time
And, yes, the celebrities are absolutely paying attention.
Zendaya's Oval-Cut Stack: A Modern Classic
Zendaya's rumored engagement ring appearance this year had people zooming in — and for good reason. An oval-cut diamond, possibly bezel-set, paired with a slim band created a clean, layered look that sparked major buzz.
Why it made the list:
-It's proof that a lab-grown diamond bridal set can be both glamorous and grounded, even if unconfirmed in this case
-The modern stackable look allows room to evolve — add anniversary bands, eternity rings or colored stones later
-Oval cuts are versatile and flattering on nearly every hand shape
Hailey Bieber's Soft Glam Stack
Hailey kept things quiet this year, but the glimpse of her custom bridal ring set told the story. Rose gold, pave bands and a hidden halo made for a soft glam moment that felt personal yet totally camera-ready.
Why it works:
-Matching metal tones keeps the set cohesive and photo-friendly
-Hidden halo = brilliance without overstatement
-An ideal style for anyone who leans toward "elevated minimalism"
Timothée Chalamet's Partner's Vintage-Inspired Duo
In one of the most unexpected but loved private ceremonies of the year, the surprise wasn't the couple — it was the ring. A three-stone bridal set with vintage flair, yellow gold and a center diamond flanked by sapphires was seen — possibly lab-grown, but never confirmed.
Why we love it:
-It redefines celebrity engagement rings in 2025 with a mix of old and new
–Lab-created stones can offer the same brilliance while keeping the piece ethical and sustainable
-The band was curved to match the setting, not an afterthought
Where to Find These Looks Without the A-List Budget
Here's where the glam meets reality: You don't need a celebrity stylist to wear something just as striking. Today, you can shop bridal sets online with full customization, certified stones and even lab-grown options that align with your values (and budget).
At Rosec Jewels, for example, we're seeing real brides opt for:
-Matching lab-grown diamond bridal sets with hidden halos

How to Choose Your Bridal Set Like a Stylist
Below, what we heard from celebrity stylists, jewelers and real brides:
–First up, the shape: We're really seeing a moment for oval and emerald cuts. They elongate the finger, and they feel eternal.
–Consider a stackable option: More brides are looking to build up their bands over time. Pick a version with a margin for expansion.
–Find the balance: Your engagement ring and wedding band don't have to match perfectly, but they should feel like they belong together. Think of it as two parts of the same story — not identical, but connected.
–Consider certification: Whether you're buying a natural diamond or a lab-grown diamond, ensure that you get the necessary certification as proof.
