Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"The first order he signed before a crowd at the Capital One Arena revoked approximately 80 executive actions that had been signed by former President Joe Biden. He also signed a freeze on new regulations, as well as a hiring freeze on federal workers. And Trump also withdrew — again — from the Paris climate treaty."

List of revoked Biden executive orders here:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/

It's worth noting, that Biden only issued 160 orders, by revoking 80 of them, Trump has reduced that by 1/2.

Looks like the usual, DEI, climate crisis, covid restrictions, ethics.

Holding former government employees responsible for unlawful disclosiure of sensitive information.

Wow. Do I even need to point out the hypocrisy here?

[–] Bakkoda 1 points 20 hours ago

No. They did it for you. Literally right there in the order. They said hey America, "hold muh beer."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Ah the small government his stans all wanted.

Declaration of a national energy emergency.

What's the scam on this one? That certainly might be true in Texas, but that's because they fucked up their power grid by privatizing it and removing (or never applying) regulations and doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the nation.

If Trump's doing it I know it's some kind of scam, but I can't figure out the angle on this one.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's an excuse to drill and frack for oil with no restrictions.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Does... he need an excuse? Didn't he just authorize drilling in Alaska anyway? I'm kind of surprised he would even bother with excuses at this point, it's basically fait accompli now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Authorizing drilling in Alaska isn't the same as calling for a national emergency, but I expect once the orders are published on the White House website we'll see the details.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Really? No more renewables, no more restrictions on drilling, etc.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Withdrawing from the World Health Organization.

How much does gates owns of the who now? 80%?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Never knew it was possible for the president to simply ban new regulations, but I wouldn't expect much else from Trump.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Banning new regulations as they defacto regulate people's genders. Irony is dead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

No regulations not approved by them of course! You can't expect them to ban regulations and also stop themselves from doing things, they need unchecked reign!!! /s

[–] Bakkoda 2 points 20 hours ago

Thank you for the very detailed list.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

What a shitshow, another four more years being embarrassed because I was born here.

It's so sad watching idiot talk about making America great again while not addressing that's what he said the first time yet failed completely. But people really wanted this fleshsack to have another try at it.

Would love to yell at idiots but the dead look in their eyes says reason is beyond their grasp.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More coming... No details yet on all the Biden orders being revoked either.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just want to go to sleep and wake up in two years for next Election Day. Hopefully we can tip the senate and house. That’s assuming they haven’t taken away our right to vote.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

There won't be another vote. Not a real one, anyway.
