Tracking every rollback, reversal, and overreach — and the path back to the America we know.
Executive Order 14219 establishes the Department of Government Efficiency to streamline federal regulations and reduce government oversight. The order directs federal agencies to eliminate regulations deemed unnecessary or burdensome. This could impact Americans by reducing regulatory protections in areas including environmental standards, worker safety, and consumer protections.
Executive Order 13907 was signed on February 28, 2020, establishing an interagency committee to monitor and enforce environmental provisions under Section 811 of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act. The committee coordinates federal agencies in tracking compliance with the trade agreement's environmental standards across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. The direct impact on Americans includes oversight mechanisms for environmental enforcement related to continental trade, though the order does not directly modify existing environmental regulations.
On March 27, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13782, revoking multiple Obama-era executive orders related to federal contracting requirements. The order eliminated mandates requiring federal contractors to disclose political donations and comply with certain labor and environmental standards as conditions of receiving federal contracts. The direct effect removed reporting requirements and compliance obligations for companies bidding on or holding federal contracts worth billions annually.
