  • 2025-02181 — Restoring America's Fighting Force
    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 8763
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The executive order titled "Restoring America's Fighting Force" aims to remove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Department of Defense and Homeland Security, particularly the Coast Guard. It states that hiring practices should be free from preferences based on race or sex and mandates the abolition of DEI offices. The order also prohibits the promotion of certain ideologies deemed divisive or discriminatory and requires a review of military educational institutions to ensure they align with these principles. Furthermore, the order establishes procedures for implementing these changes and reports on progress while ensuring the changes comply with existing laws and budgets.

    Simple Explanation

    The executive order is about stopping some programs in the military that focus on treating people differently based on their background, and making sure everyone is treated fairly without special rules based on who they are. It's like saying everyone gets the same chance regardless of their skin color or whether they are a boy or a girl.

  • 2025-03527 — Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Cost Efficiency Initiative
    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 11095
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The executive order outlined in the document aims to improve the efficiency of federal government spending. It introduces measures to ensure transparency and accountability by requiring justifications for payments made under federal contracts and grants, and conducting reviews to find savings and reduce waste. Each federal agency must also establish systems to manage and justify expenditures on non-essential travel and report on contracting activities. There are exclusions for law enforcement, military, and other critical services, and the executive order emphasizes compliance with existing laws and budget limitations.

    Simple Explanation

    The President wants the government to spend money wisely, so he made a rule that says all parts of the government need to keep better track of their spending, especially for things like trips and contracts, to make sure they're not wasting money. But, there's a worry that setting up this new system could be costly and some important activities won't be looked at closely.
