Trump Executive Order Wipes Out 90 Years of Practice and Permanently Changes the Executive Branch
By streiff | 8:14 AM on February 19, 2025

President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that affirmatively pulled all the "independent" boards, commissions, and agencies that have proliferated since the Roosevelt administration under the management of the White House. The order, titled Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies – The White House, states, "For the Federal Government to be truly accountable to the American people, officials who wield vast executive power must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected President."

    In an informational document about the executive order, shared with The Washington Post, White House officials referred to “so called independent agencies,” citing the FTC, FCC and SEC as examples of agencies over which Trump is seeking to exert more control. A White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the objectives of the new executive order, said it aims to rein in “rogue agencies.”

    “These agencies issue rules and regulations that cost billions of dollars and implicate some of the most controversial policy matters, and they do so without the review of the democratically elected President,” White House officials wrote in the document. “They also spend American tax dollars and set priorities without consulting the President, while setting their own performance standards.”

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Yes, bravo.

Now, when is he going to set the same standard for the most sacred spending cows we have, the intelligence agencies?  All this effort to cut here and there and no mention of taking on the really big cash cows.  When?

When is the CIA, FBI, NSA, and a dozen other intelligence agencies going to be reigned in?  When?

Much of what Trump is doing, perhaps all of what he is doing will be undone by the courts, and if not them, the next Dem administration.  So, if everything he is doing is temporary, what is the point really?  If he can't work with Congress, what is the f***ing point? 

And his kissing Putin's posterior, he has lost all credibility.
