This order directs agency heads to lower the costs of housing, healthcare, and other necessities, in part by cutting regulations intended to protect consumers and the climate.

This order claims to address Americans' higher costs of living, but it will have no immediate effect. It directs agency heads to "deliver emergency price relief," in part by cutting policies that protect consumers and communities, and implement some changes that agency heads cannot do by themselves.

This order commands all federal remote workers back to the office full-time, without regard to union agreements or disruptions it could cause.

This order directs agencies to terminate remote work arrangements and require remote workers to return to the office full-time. Only department and agency heads can grant exceptions, and there are no standards listed for those exceptions. There is also no acknowledgment of union collective bargaining agreements, which could mean that the administration intends to ignore them. This will create major hardships for remote workers, despite remote work being common outside the government, and it will make it harder for the government to provide essential services and protections.

This order claims to end federal government censorship and directs the Attorney General to investigate the Biden administration for its efforts to combat disinformation.

This order does not alter anyone's First Amendment rights. The federal government is already prohibited from unconstitutionally abridging the free speech of any American citizen. This order claims that the Biden administration, in attempts to combat "misinformation," "disinformation," and "malinformation," instead unconstitutionally coerced social media companies to censor Americans' speech on online platforms. The order directs the Attorney General to consult with the heads of executive departments and agencies to "investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years" for unconstitutional censorship and to prepare a report recommending "appropriate remedial actions" based on the report's findings.

This order aims to eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in the military, including banning teaching so-called "divisive concepts" at military academies.

Repeating the false claim that diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives discriminate on the basis of race and sex, this order seeks to end these programs in the military (including at military academies). It directs the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to abolish all diversity, equity, and inclusion offices within their respective departments. It prohibits the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces from teaching about systemic racism, sexism, and gender variation, instead requiring them to teach that "America and its founding documents remain the most powerful force for good in human history." And, it orders the Secretary of Defense to conduct an internal review of past actions taken in pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

This order claims that being transgender is incompatible with military service and directs the Secretary of Defense to take steps to erase the existence of transgender troops.

Falsely claiming that the acceptance and inclusion of transgender people within the Armed Forces is detrimental to unit cohesion, this order seeks to revive President Trump's trans military ban, which was challenged and blocked numerous times under the first Trump administration. The order states that the policy of the United States Government is to exclude from military service people with gender dysphoria and people who use pronouns that do not reflect their sex assigned at birth. The order directs the Secretary of Defense to promptly issue directives to the Department of Defense revoking inclusive pronoun usage and states that the Armed Forces shall not allow people to use sex-segregated facilities that do not align with their sex assigned at birth.

This order threatens providers of gender-affirming healthcare with loss of federal research and education grant funds, and potential enforcement of unrelated criminal laws.

This order is a full-throated attack on the ability of transgender youth to access gender-affirming medical care, even when their parents and doctors agree that such care is in their best interest, and even though similar procedures are allowed for cisgender individuals. The order directs the federal government to take immediate steps to ensure that any institution receiving federal research or education grants does not provide puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, or gender-affirming surgery to anyone under the age of 19 (including 18-year-olds, who are legally adults). It also directs agencies to rescind guidance based on the WPATH Standards of Care, the leading medical authority on gender-affirming healthcare standards. It directs the Attorney General to weaponize the enforcement of unrelated laws, like those prohibiting consumer fraud and female genital mutilation, against the provision of gender-affirming healthcare. The order also contains numerous instructions for other federal agencies to roll out over time.
