Trump's Blitz of Executive Actions: A Overview of 2025's Policy Shifts
From Withdrawing from WHO to Pardoning January 6 Rioters - Tracking the Rapid Pace of Trump's New Orders
I have been trying to keep up with President Donald Trump's presidential actions since his inauguration, and it his hard to do. It seems every day, Trump signs multiple orders and actions; some are posted on the official White House website, while others take time to post. While some will not make it through the court system, others will, so it’s important to keep tabs on the rapid pace of actions by our president.
