Tracking every rollback, reversal, and overreach — and the path back to the America we know.
This proclamation provides regulatory relief for stationary sources to promote American mineral security. It streamlines environmental regulations for mineral extraction and processing facilities. The action reduces compliance burdens on domestic mining operations to increase domestic mineral production.
The Trump administration authorized Junction Pipeline Company to construct and operate pipeline facilities at the international boundary between the United States and Canada in Toole County, Montana. The authorization permits the company to build, connect, and maintain cross-border pipeline infrastructure. This action facilitates energy infrastructure development at the northern border.
Executive Order 14308 signed June 12, 2025, establishes new protocols for wildfire prevention and response management. The order directs federal agencies to streamline procedures for forest management and emergency response operations. It impacts Americans in wildfire-prone regions through altered federal land management practices and emergency response procedures.
Executive Order 14285 signed on April 24, 2025, expands offshore drilling and mineral extraction in U.S. waters. The order streamlines permitting for critical mineral development in ocean resources. This increases domestic mineral supply but raises environmental concerns for coastal ecosystems and marine life.
Executive Order 14264 was signed on April 9, 2025, modifying federal regulations regarding showerhead water pressure standards. The order relaxes restrictions on water flow rates in showerheads, allowing higher water pressure than previously permitted under environmental regulations. This directly impacts American consumers by increasing water usage in households and potentially raising utility costs.
Executive Order 14270 implements zero-based regulatory budgeting requiring federal agencies to justify all regulations and eliminate those without sufficient benefit-cost justification. The order prioritizes deregulation in the energy sector and requires agencies to offset new regulations by eliminating existing ones. This directly impacts energy production costs, business compliance expenses, and environmental protection standards across the United States.
Executive Order 14260 signed on April 8, 2025, restricts state regulatory authority over energy production and development. The order limits state-level environmental regulations that the administration argues impede domestic energy projects. This impacts Americans by potentially reducing energy costs while limiting state environmental protections.
Executive Order 14261, signed on April 8, 2025, amends Executive Order 14241 to promote the coal industry. The order reverses environmental regulations and clean energy policies, directing federal agencies to support coal production and mining operations. This directly impacts energy costs, coal-dependent communities, and environmental protection standards across the United States.
This proclamation provides regulatory relief for certain stationary sources to promote American energy production. It reduces environmental compliance requirements for industrial facilities. The action lowers operational costs for energy producers while potentially affecting air quality standards and environmental protections for American communities.
The Trump administration fast-tracked border wall construction through Big Bend National Park in rural Texas, despite bipartisan opposition. The project involves upgrading county roads to accommodate construction equipment and 30-foot steel barrier sections. The action directly impacts local ranchers, Indigenous lands, and one of America's most ecologically sensitive protected areas.
