This order siphons money from struggling public schools for the benefit of private entities

This executive order directs the Secretary of Education to submit guidance within 60 days on how states can use federal funds to support K-12 so-called educational choice initiatives and within 90 days, the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Education must issue guidance to use discretionary grant programs to allegedly expand choice. It also orders the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on how states receiving block grants can use them to expand educational choice, "including private and faith-based options." Lastly, it also orders a review within 90 days of school choice for military-connected families and for students eligible to attend Bureau of Indian Education schools. This order will siphon federal money that should have been for public schools to unaccountable private corporations with little to no oversight. These subsidies for mostly wealthy families will also hurt students and magnify existing educational inequalities.

This order imposes additional tariffs on imports from China based on President Trump's expanded declaration of a national emergency.

This executive order further expands President Trump's declaration of a national emergency at the Southern border (EO 10886) to include the flow of fentanyl from China. It uses this emergency declaration to impose additional tariffs on all goods imported from the country. This EO has already caused confusion, with USPS stopping and then restarting the acceptance of packages from China and Hong Kong. Along with expected increases in the prices of imports that would increase costs for U.S. consumers, China has already announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports and an antitrust investigation into Google.

This executive order seeks to end all equity hiring programs in the Federal Aviation Administration.

Like other executive orders, this order repeats divisive falsehoods that the Federal Aviation Administration hired unqualified people for discriminatory reasons, rather than for merit. It singles out people with disabilities. The order then directs the Secretary of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administrator to end all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives and review all individuals in critical safety positions to ensure they are qualified to do their jobs. This order will harm the aspiring and current public servants who have traditionally had less access to hiring opportunities, and it reinforces the false idea that the government has only hired people with disabilities by lowering its standards for them.

This order rescinds key protections enacted after Dobbs to ensure access to abortion.

This order rescinds two Biden administration EOs — issued weeks after the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade — that strengthened or clarified abortion protections nationwide. This Trump order rests on false claims that the rescinded Biden EOs required "forced" federal funding of abortions. The first rescinded EO directed agencies to seek ways to expand access to and share information about reproductive healthcare, and created an interagency task force to coordinate those efforts. That task force made significant gains for people whose rights had been stripped, including clarifying rules for hospitals required to provide emergency care by federal law. The second rescinded Biden EO promoted non-discrimination in, and data collection for, reproductive healthcare.

This order seeks to ban transgender girls from participating on girls' sports teams and from girls' locker rooms, and discourages trans inclusion in international competitions.

This executive order seeks to ban transgender girls from girls' sports teams and locker rooms in the name of protecting girls, but it does just the opposite. These bans harm all girls, including cisgender girls, by subjecting them to increased gender policing and arbitrary and invasive investigations. This order also harms intersex and nonbinary students as it increases surveillance of their bodies. The order directs the Secretary of Education to weaponize Title IX's protections against sex discrimination and bring enforcement actions against schools that allow transgender girls to participate on girls' sports teams or use girls' locker rooms, threatening the loss of federal funding for schools that do not comply. This is despite the fact that many federal courts have held that Title IX protects transgender students, and that the Supreme Court has held that discrimination on the basis of gender identity is a form of sex discrimination in an analogous civil-rights context. The order also directs the Secretary of State to rescind support for and participation in sports programs that allow trans women on women's teams, including the Olympics (which the United States is set to host in Los Angeles in 2028). And, it directs the Secretary of State to promote these discriminatory interests internationally, including at the United Nations.

This order directs the Attorney General to find and dismantle all Biden Administration policies, guidance, and international agreements related to gun safety.

This order calls on the Attorney General to examine all Biden Administration actions related to preventing gun violence for any limitations on the ability of gun owners and manufacturers to make, purchase, carry, or use firearms however they choose. This order likely presages the rollback of Biden-era policies regulating ghost guns, expanding background checks, and providing more oversight of gun dealers. It will make it harder for America to reduce crime, drug trafficking, and deaths by firearms, including the high toll on children and the disproportionate effect on people of color.
