• 2025-02-11 04:07 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Pausing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Enforcement to Further American Economic and National Security ...«overexpansive and unpredictable FCPA enforcement against American citizens and businesses – by our own Government – for routine business practices in other nations not only wastes limited prosecutorial resources that could be dedicated to preserving American freedoms, but actively harms American economic competitiveness and, therefore, national security.»
• 2025-02-01 13:42 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Imposing Duties to Address the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China «I previously declared a national emergency with respect to the grave threat to the United States posed by the influx of illegal aliens and drugs into the United States in Proclamation 10886. Pursuant to the NEA, I hereby expand the scope of the national emergency declared in that proclamation to cover the failure of the PRC government to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept chemical precursor suppliers, money launderers, other TCOs, criminals at large, and drugs.»
• 2025-01-30 21:36 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Immediate Assessment of Aviation Safety «This shocking event follows problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous "diversity equity and inclusion tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with "severe intellectual" disabilities in the FAA.» Parts of this are clearly lies, while others are just misleading. It would seem to be a follow-up to comments apparently made to reporters after the crash.
• 2025-01-29 23:52 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism As worded, this is about cracking down on anti-semitism, but pro-Israel interests use that phrase to refer to support for Palestine (regardless of how innocuous it may be). In other words, this order creates more ways to act against anyone (especially students) who oppose Israel's Palestinian genocide.
• 2025-01-29 22:33 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling This one basically says that trans people should not be teaching school, while reinforcing the framing of transgenderness as "surgical and chemical mutilation". It clearly violates the Constitution, threatens staff with jail time for doing their jobs, and is likely to induce further stochastic violence against trans kids and adults.
• 2025-01-28 04:35 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] REINSTATING SERVICE MEMBERS DISCHARGED UNDER THE MILITARY’S COVID-19 VACCINATION MANDATE This order reinstates any service members who were discharged solely because they refused to be vaccinated against COVID. This requirement had already been rescinded on 2023-01-10 by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, for reasons that are unclear; this EO makes that amnesty retroactive.
• 2025-01-28 03:54 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Restoring America’s Fighting Force «The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall abolish every DEI office within the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security with regard to the USCG, respectively, including any vestiges of DEI offices, such as sub-offices, programs, elements, or initiatives established to promote a race-based preferences system that subverts meritocracy, perpetuates unconstitutional discrimination, and promotes divisive concepts or gender ideology.» Increasing military readiness is a reasonable goal, but then why did he ban trans people from serving? (shorter Trump: [kicks a bunch of people out] "We need more people!")
• 2025-01-25 01:09 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Memorandum for the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Administrator of the United States for International Development «I further direct the Secretary of State to take all necessary actions, to the extent permitted by law, to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not fund organizations or programs that support or participate in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.» Also revokes the Presidential Memorandum of January 28, 2021 and reinstates the Presidential Memorandum of January 23, 2017 (to be researched).
• 2025-01-25 00:58 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] ENFORCING THE HYDE AMENDMENT «For nearly five decades, the Congress has annually enacted the Hyde Amendment and similar laws that prevent Federal funding of elective abortion, reflecting a longstanding consensus that American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for that practice. However, the previous administration disregarded this established, commonsense policy by embedding forced taxpayer funding of elective abortions in a wide variety of Federal programs. It is the policy of the United States, consistent with the Hyde Amendment, to end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion.»
• 2025-01-24 23:21 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] EMERGENCY MEASURES TO PROVIDE WATER RESOURCES IN CALIFORNIA AND IMPROVE DISASTER RESPONSE IN CERTAIN AREAS «The Secretary of the Interior, including through the Bureau of Reclamation, shall utilize his discretion to operate the CVP to deliver more water and produce additional hydropower, including by increasing storage and conveyance, and jointly operating federal and state facilities, to high-need communities, notwithstanding any contrary State or local laws. The Bureau of Reclamation shall take all available measures to ensure that State agencies – including the California Department of Water Resources – do not interfere with the Bureau of Reclamation's operation of the project to maximize water delivery to high-need communities or otherwise [...]»
• 2025-01-24 23:19 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] COUNCIL TO ASSESS THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY «There are serious concerns of political bias in FEMA. Indeed, at least one former FEMA responder has stated that FEMA managers directed her to avoid homes of individuals supporting the campaign of Donald J. Trump for President. And it has lost mission focus, diverting limited staff and resources to support missions beyond its scope and authority, spending well over a billion dollars to welcome illegal aliens.» Fact-check needed...
• 2025-01-21 01:51 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT «This unhealthy road is paved by an ongoing and purposeful attack against the ordinary and longstanding use and understanding of biological and scientific terms, replacing the immutable biological reality of sex with an internal, fluid, and subjective sense of self unmoored from biological facts. Invalidating the true and biological category of “woman” improperly transforms laws and policies designed to protect sex-based opportunities into laws and policies that undermine them, replacing longstanding, cherished legal rights and values with an identity-based, inchoate social concept.» It's difficult to find any part of this that isn't a blatant lie.
• 2025-01-21 01:30 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States «Because of the gravity and emergency of this present danger and imminent threat, it is necessary for the Armed Forces to take all appropriate action to assist the Department of Homeland Security in obtaining full operational control of the southern border.»
• 2025-01-20 23:55 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] PUTTING AMERICA FIRST IN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENTS The US is withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords because, apparently, US energy security is more important than global climate security.
• 2017-03-06 16:25 UTC [L..T] Executive Order Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States «The screening and vetting protocols and procedures associated with the visa-issuance process and the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) play a crucial role in detecting foreign nationals who may commit, aid, or support acts of terrorism and in preventing those individuals from entering the United States. It is therefore the policy of the United States to improve the screening and vetting protocols and procedures associated with the visa-issuance process and the USRAP.» [...] «The implementation of Executive Order 13769 has been delayed by litigation. Most significantly, enforcement of critical provisions of that order has been temporarily halted by court orders that apply nationwide and extend even to foreign nationals with no prior or substantial connection to the United States.»
• 2017-01-27 17:07 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] EXECUTIVE ORDER: PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES «Numerous foreign-born individuals have been convicted or implicated in terrorism-related crimes since September 11, 2001, including foreign nationals who entered the United States after receiving visitor, student, or employment visas, or who entered through the United States refugee resettlement program. Deteriorating conditions in certain countries due to war, strife, disaster, and civil unrest increase the likelihood that terrorists will use any means possible to enter the United States.» [...] «I hereby proclaim that the immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12), would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 90 days from the date of this order (excluding those foreign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas).»
• 0028-01-23 22:22 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CHEMICAL AND SURGICAL MUTILATION, Executive Orders issued by Donald Trump on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 «Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.» Thus begins a series of horrendous lies and harmful orders.
