The Trump administration has repealed Biden-era carbon limits for coal- and gas-fired power plants and proposed blocking future greenhouse gas regulations for the power sector. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called it the largest power-sector deregulation action ever, while legal experts and environmental groups challenged its legal basis and health implications.
The US Environmental Protection Agency says it will repeal rules limiting pollution from coal- and gas-fired power plants. The agency says ending most Biden-era climate regulations would save $310 billion and lower energy prices, while environmental groups warn of major costs to public health and the planet and expect immediate legal challenges.
The EPA plans to overturn a 2024 Biden administration rule that requires power plants to control pollution contributing to global warming.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has announced plans to scrap most Biden-era rules limiting pollution from coal and gas power plants and to deter future administrations from regulating emissions.

The Trump administration says repealing the rules could save power plants more than $300bn and unleash American energy.

The US Supreme Court has rejected Donald Trump’s effort to restrict mail-in voting before the November midterm elections. The decision keeps states’ existing ballot-mailing practices in place and deals a setback to the president’s attempt to change election rules, while preventing possible last-minute legal challenges as voting begins in some states.
The US Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict mail ballots ahead of the midterm election. The ruling allows states to keep sending ballots through procedures they have used for years; mail ballots have made up nearly one-third of votes cast.
The US Supreme Court has refused to revive a Trump administration rule allowing the Postal Service to reject mail-in ballots that failed new requirements. The unsigned order said the administration was unlikely to prevail on the merits, while critics warned the restrictions could disrupt thousands of ballots and disenfranchise voters who depend on mail voting before the midterms.
The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to impose new mail-ballot restrictions before November’s midterm elections. States can keep their existing voting procedures after election officials warned that last-minute changes could disrupt ballot distribution.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to let the Postal Service enforce a rule aimed at mail-in ballots, dealing a setback to President Donald Trump’s effort to curb voting by mail before November’s midterm elections, which will decide control of Congress.
The US Supreme Court refused to authorize the Postal Service to enforce new mail-ballot restrictions for congressional midterm elections, rebuffing the Trump administration’s request for intervention after early voting began in several states.
The US Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict mail-in voting before the November midterm elections. The justices said election officials lacked enough time to implement the rule, allowing states to continue sending mail ballots under their longstanding procedures.
Before the midterm elections, the Supreme Court turned down Donald Trump’s push to curb ballots submitted by mail.
The Supreme Court left in place a lower-court ruling that blocks the U.S. Postal Service from putting new restrictions on mail-in voting into effect.
The court refused to let President Donald Trump change the nationwide process through which voters receive mail ballots, rejecting the controversial plan.
The Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s request to lift a block on a rule concerning mail-in ballots. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said applying the Postal Service rule in the 2026 midterm elections would be “arbitrary and capricious.”
The U.S. Supreme Court has, for now, rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict mail ballots ahead of the midterm elections.
The Supreme Court ruled that Trump cannot enforce a new regulation on mail-in ballots. As a result, a Postal Service measure that could prevent ballots from being sent to voters will not take effect for November’s midterm elections.
