Tracking every rollback, reversal, and overreach — and the path back to the America we know.
On September 3, 2020, President Trump signed Proclamation 10,483 designating national days of prayer and remembrance. The proclamation calls for Americans to observe days of prayer and remembrance for victims of national tragedies and those who died in service. As a proclamation, it has no binding legal effect and does not change law, policy, or federal operations—it is a symbolic declaration.
President Trump signed Executive Order 13852 on December 1, 2018, directing the closure of executive departments and agencies of the federal government on December 5, 2018. The order implemented a shutdown of federal operations on that date. Federal employees were furloughed, and federal services and operations ceased on the specified date.
Executive Order 13834 was signed on May 17, 2018, directing federal agencies to establish Regulatory Reform Officers and review regulations for potential elimination or modification to reduce compliance costs. The order required agencies to identify regulations imposing costs on the economy and submit plans to repeal or revise them. The confirmed direct impact included agencies across the federal government conducting systematic regulatory reviews, resulting in the elimination or modification of hundreds of regulations through 2020, affecting areas including environmental protection, labor standards, and financial oversight.
