    President Biden issued Executive Order 13983, which revokes Executive Order 13770. This order, initially put in place on January 28, 2017, required ethics commitments from Executive Branch appointees. The revocation is effective as of noon on January 20, 2021, meaning that neither current nor former employees are bound by those commitments after this time. The order also clarifies that it should not interfere with existing legal authority or create new legal rights.

    Simple Explanation

    President Biden decided that the special rules set by the old president for people working in his team weren't needed anymore, so he canceled them. Now, people working in those jobs don't have to follow those rules, and we don't know if new rules will take their place yet.

    In this executive order, the President mandates that the counting of people for the decennial census for House of Representatives apportionment must include everyone living in each state, regardless of immigration status. This order reverses previous policies that aimed to exclude undocumented immigrants from the count. The order emphasizes that accurate and complete data must be used for the census and requires the Secretary of Commerce to ensure that the population count fully reflects each state's inhabitants. Additionally, it revokes earlier directives concerning the collection of citizenship information for the census.

    Simple Explanation

    In this document, the President says that when counting how many people live in each state to decide how many seats each state gets in the House of Representatives, everyone should be counted, including those who moved here from other countries without permission. This reverses older rules that wanted to leave these people out.

    Simple Explanation

    The President took away a rule about helping people learn new jobs through special job training programs, and he told others to look at any related rules and possibly stop them too. This change doesn't mean the government will do anything else or create any new rules right now.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule revoking the Class D and Class E airspace in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) because the RMI is a sovereign nation, and the FAA does not have the authority to regulate its airspace as per Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Although this airspace was originally established when the United States had authority over the area, it was never revoked following the 1986 Compact of Free Association that recognized RMI's sovereignty. This rule addresses that oversight, and the change is considered routine with minimal impact. The rule is effective on April 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is like the boss of airplane rules in the U.S., but it can't make rules about the skies over the Marshall Islands anymore because that's a separate country. They used to have these rules because the U.S. used to manage that area, but now they're just officially saying it's up to the Marshall Islands to decide.
