Trump Executive Order Tracker

Directs the Attorney General to identify and act against state and local laws that burden domestic energy production and may be unconstitutional, preempted by federal law, or otherwise unlawful, particularly those tied to climate change, ESG policies, and carbon penalties.

The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), assisted by the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), shall coordinate the termination of all discriminatory programs, including DEI and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the federal government, under whatever name they appear (including in relation to “environmental justice”).

The heads of agencies shall take all appropriate action to eliminate the procurement of paper straws and otherwise ensure that paper straws are no longer provided within agency buildings. Within 45 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, in coordination with relevant agencies, shall issue a National Strategy to End the Use of Paper Straws to phase out their use nationwide. 

Directs the heads of executive departments and agencies to review all funding provided to NGOs and align future funding decisions with the interests of the United States and the goals of the Trump-Vance administration. 

Orders that for each new regulation issued, at least 10 prior regulations be identified for elimination.  This practice is to ensure that the cost of planned regulations is responsibly managed and controlled through a rigorous regulatory budgeting process.

Rescinded: The White House Office of Management and Budget has rescinded its freeze on federal financial assistance, per a January 29 memo circulated to all federal departments and agencies. As a result, the original pause on agency funds, which itself had been subject to a federal district court stay until February 3, will not go forward.

This EO invokes authorities under the National Emergencies Act (NEA) to declare an energy emergency. Orders executive departments and agencies to identify and exercise any lawful emergency authorities available to them to facilitate the identification, leasing, siting, production, transportation, refining, and generation of domestic energy resources, including, but not limited to, on federal lands.

It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. It is the Administration’s position that sexes are not interchangeable and that “sex” is not a “synonym for and does not include the term ‘gender identity.’” When administering or enforcing sex-based distinctions, every agency and all federal employees acting in an official capacity on behalf of their agency shall use the term “sex” and not “gender” in all applicable federal policies and documents. The EO further defines “gender identity” as “an internal and subjective sense of self” and directs agencies to take steps to eradicate use of the term and to implement regulations, guidance, forms and communications to comply with this order.

The Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, and the Administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), shall develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the federal workforce only highly skilled Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests, and not be based on impermissible factors, such as one’s commitment to illegal racial discrimination under the guise of “equity,” one’s commitment to the invented concept of “gender identity” over sex. In addition, the Federal Hiring Plan shall take into account, among other things, integrating modern technology to support the recruitment and selection process and the introduction of specific “best practices” for the human resources functions in federal agencies.
