Supreme Court denies delay in key EPA cases


February 10, 2025

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s request to pause three cases while the Environmental Protection Agency reviews Biden-era regulatory decisions. The cases involve California’s Clean Air Act waiver for vehicle emissions and small refinery exemptions under the Renewable Fuel Standard. The decision keeps legal challenges moving forward, with potential impacts on environmental policies affecting Native communities.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
