Tracking every rollback, reversal, and overreach — and the path back to the America we know.
The Senate voted 54-45 to confirm Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair, replacing Jerome Powell. Warsh will serve a four-year term overseeing monetary policy amid elevated inflation and Trump administration pressure to lower interest rates. The confirmation shifts Federal Reserve leadership toward an administration-preferred chair amid ongoing economic policy tensions.
The Education Department nullified six Title IX settlement agreements from the Obama and Biden administrations that required school districts to implement gender identity anti-discrimination policies. This action eliminates protections for transgender and gender-nonconforming students in schools across multiple districts. The move opens these settled cases to potential legal challenge and removes established safeguards against gender-based discrimination in education.
On January 22, 2025, the Trump administration signed Executive Order 14175 designating Ansar Allah (also known as the Houthis) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. The designation subjects the group to asset freezes, travel bans, and criminal penalties for providing material support. The immediate confirmed effects include restrictions on financial transactions with the group, enhanced enforcement against U.S. persons providing support, and potential impacts on humanitarian operations in Yemen where Ansar Allah exercises territorial control.
The Trump administration froze millions of dollars in federal funding for New York's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), which investigates and prosecutes healthcare provider fraud and patient abuse in Medicaid facilities. The action eliminates dedicated enforcement capacity for detecting fraud and protecting vulnerable patients in state Medicaid programs. New York loses federal resources for healthcare oversight and fraud prevention affecting thousands of Medicaid beneficiaries.
The Trump administration reversed Biden-era enforcement actions targeting gun trafficking networks, reducing federal oversight of illegal firearm transfers. ATF resources previously dedicated to trafficking investigations were redirected or eliminated. The rollback directly increases the flow of illegal weapons to criminal networks and increases gun violence risk in American communities.
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Colorado challenging a state ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines. The suit, following a separate action against Denver, seeks to invalidate the state's restrictions on magazine capacity. This action impacts Colorado residents and gun owners by challenging state-level gun safety regulations.
The Trump administration is removing bison herds from federal grasslands in Montana to accommodate ranching interests. This action prioritizes livestock operations over wildlife conservation and tribal treaty rights. The eviction directly impacts ecological restoration efforts and Native American communities reliant on bison.
The FDA appointed Katherine Szarama as acting director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, replacing Vinay Prasad. This unit regulates vaccines and biological products for human use. The leadership change may impact vaccine approval processes and biological product oversight.
The Trump administration began incorporating President Trump's name and likeness onto federal buildings, government-issued documents, and other federal property. This includes the rollout of limited-edition passports coinciding with the nation's 250th birthday. The action affects Americans obtaining passports and visiting federal buildings displaying the president's name.
The FCC accelerated its review of eight local ABC broadcasting licenses following White House criticism of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's joke about Melania Trump. This action is viewed as regulatory retribution against the broadcaster for unfavorable coverage. The review potentially threatens ABC's license renewals and sets a precedent for using regulatory authority against media outlets critical of the administration.
