Why won’t federal judges review regulatory agency science claims?

Chemical industry sues EPA and National Academy of Sciences over rigged formaldehyde review
EPA retreats from ‘Cancer Alley’ environmental justice hoax
“The Biden administration has dropped an investigation into whether Louisiana officials put Black residents living in an industrial stretch of the state at increased cancer risk, despite finding initial evidence of racial discrimination, according to a federal court filing Tuesday.” EPA accused Louisiana of environmental racism nonsense last October.

Fail: Politifact’s fact check of my Ingraham Angle appearance during the New York City air scare
Politifact finally got around to “fact checking” my June 7, 2023 appearance on Fox News’ Ingraham Angle. It (Web | PDF) is pretty much what I expected — a premeditated hit job that: (1) ignored the substance of the response I provided at Politifact’s request (not even a link to any of my material); (2) just parroted EPA propaganda and then (3) ended with an ad hominem attack on me. In tossing away reality, it was a fact chuck, not a fact check. I will also note that the two people cited bolstering the EPA position — Thomas Kleinman and Duncan Thomas — have both been on the receiving end of millions of dollars in EPA grants. Kleinman is even currently serving on the EPA CASAC PM subcommittee. There is an ongoing lawsuit against EPA over the biased composition of CASAC. Politifact failed to disclose these conflicts of interest. My rating of Politifact: Simply dishonest.
