Initial Rescissions Of Harmful Executive Orders And Actions

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to rescind various executive actions from the previous administration, aiming to eliminate what he described as "unlawful and radical" diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, as well as climate-related regulations. This move is intended to restore what the administration calls "common sense" to federal operations, prioritizing merit and economic growth over these policies. The order mandates a thorough review of past actions with potential legal implications, as it could face challenges from those who support the rescinded measures, and politically, it signals a significant shift in federal priorities under President Trump's leadership.
