Guys, please grab your hat because today, February 20, 2025, today is a red day for Americans who love freedom everywhere! President Donald J. Trump has just given up a name called Ensure legal governance and implement the President's “Ministry of Government Efficiency” regulatory initiative– It doesn't matter. Last night on the White House website (February 19, 2025, 22:26 EST), the move was a comprehensive charge that demanded the removal of a swollen, transcendent administrative state that has made our economy and Personal freedom murder has been a life, for too long. Here wattWe are all about cutting noise and getting something important – EO is good news for anyone who values limited government, constitutional principles and the legal landscape that provides for real reforms.
The core mission here is clear: refocusing on federal law enforcement powers In fact Authorized by law – Authorized those annoying, fictional rules convened by unelected bureaucrats are about to receive an axe. The order directs agent leaders to work hand in hand with their Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team leader and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to search every statute under their authority. If it fails to pass the scent test of constitutional legitimacy and is not aligned with the Trump administration’s parenting agenda, it’s toast. It's not just a tweak, it's top-down house cleaning that regulates the swamp, and it's long overdue.
The authorities who have been granted to me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, hereby order:
Section 1. Purpose. My government’s policy is to focus the executive’s limited enforcement resources on regulations authorized by the constitutional federal regulations and to begin deconstructing the overbearing and heavy administrative state. My administration prioritizes ending the constitutional separation of federal over-division and restoring power.

I particularly attracted my intention to: “Start the deconstruction of a domineering and burdensome administrative state.” This is not only a policy goal; it is a battle! For years, we have been following federal agencies’ balloon entry mini laws and issued decrees to strangle small businesses, increase the cost of households, and drive a questionable climate agenda with zero accountability. Now, with Doge's release (yes, I like the acronym of some kind of meme coin, which is Trump's peak energy), we're seeing real efforts to restore constitutional separation power. Congress makes laws, not table jockeys in cubicles with rubber stamps. Hallelujah!
Second 2. Revoke illegal regulations and regulations that undermine national interests. (a) The head of the agent shall coordinate with their head of the Governor’s team and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to initiate a process to review their compliance with all regulations of their sole or joint jurisdiction to maintain their legal and administrative policies consistency. Within 60 days of the date of this order, the head of the agency shall, where appropriate, consult with the Attorney General to determine the following regulations:
(i) Unconstitutional regulations and regulations cause serious constitutional difficulties, such as beyond the scope of the powers conferred by the Constitution on the federal government;
(ii) Regulations based on illegal representation of legislative power;
(iii) based on any provision other than the best reading authorized or prohibited by the Basic Law;
(iv) Regulations that imply issues of social, political or economic significance without explicit statutory authorization;
(v) Regulations on huge fees for private parties whose public interest does not exceed;
(vi) Regulations that undermine national interests through serious and unjustly hinder technological innovation, infrastructure development, disaster response, reduction of inflation, research and development, economic development, energy production, land use and foreign policy objectives; and
(vii) Provisions impose unnecessary burdens on small businesses and hinder private businesses and entrepreneurship.
(b) In carrying out the review required by paragraph (a) of this section, the institution shall give priority to the rules (regulatory plan and review) that meet the definition of Executive Order No. 12866 of 30 September 1993, amended.
(c) Within 60 days of the date of this order, the head of the agency shall provide the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to the Office of Management and Budget, which lists all categories as set out under Article 3 List of regulations specified (a) in this section.
(d) The administrator of the OIRA shall consult with the head of the body to develop a unified regulatory agenda designed to revoke or modify these regulations.
Here is where it becomes even more juicier: the legal muscle behind this move. Due to the Supreme Court's 2024 Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo Decide. For decades, Herringbone Doctrine – Born in 1984 – The Gavey Agency is a free pass to explain ambiguity laws, but they bow to the “expert knowledge” of the court. Runners bright Flip the script, axe Herringbone Respect and put the judge back to the driver's seat to explain the regulations without being excited by the rotation of the agency. As the American Prosperity Foundation notes, this EO is Trump’s open Salvo to capitalize on the ruling, directing agencies to reconsider rules that may not be adhered to under stricter judicial review. It's a two-time punch: the court cleared the road, and now Trump swayed the relaxing sledgehammer.
Runners bright Famous overthrew Herringbone The doctrine has previously directed the court to postpone the agency interpretation of ambiguity of law, even if such interpretation is not the best reading of the law. The administrative state is built on the back of these suspicious legal interpretations, and Runners bright Opens the door to the public, institutions and courts to restore the scope of agency to its appropriate statutory restrictions.

The details are equally exciting. The agent is responsible for the review all “Consistent with law and administrative policy” regulations – key or solo. This means no longer sneaking “guidance documents” or falling down rulemaking that evades public scrutiny. this Runners bright The effect will magnify the following: No Herringbone To protect them, agents cannot shrink in court rubber stamps. Now, every rule faces a stricter test – with the plain text of Congress law, is it justified? If not, it's fair game for chopping blocks. EO even broadly defines “enforcement actions” that covers any move that affects your rights or property, so an agent cannot get out of it by slapping other tags on their power robbery. This is precisely engineered to stop the desolate cold, and its legal backbone was just forged after the post.Herringbone era.
Now, let's talk about impact. For those of us who have been inspiring climate realism, read like good people watt– This could be a game changer. How many times have we seen EPA or other institutions twist science into knots to justify the debate on killing rates based on shaky climate models? Using this EO, these rules are under a microscope. If they do not base on solid legal authority, or clash with Trump’s first priority, then they are history. Imagine a world where energy policy is unabashed from the green dogma, we can drill again in endless basketball, my drill and build. this Runners bright Shift Only only offers turbocharge for this, and Courts no longer just nods to the agent excuse. That's the vision here, it's exciting.
Here is another layer in this EO: It's not just cutting down on illegal rules, it's about making sure every statute that sticks around is actually pencil. The order requires agencies to coordinate with Doge Team Leads, and OMB provides a rigorous cost-benefit analysis of the regulations under review. There are no more reasons to hold or feel good – each rule must prove its value, dollar, against its burden on business, family and economy. This is a direct shot of the kind of weather regulations we are doing here wattwhen it comes to welfare, costs soar to billions of dollars, remain speculative at best. and Runners bright This cost-effective hammer has tightened the legal screws to ensure only rules with authentic, measurable achievements can survive. It is practical, it is facilitating, and it is a victory for taxpayers who have been incorporating bureaucratic surplus for too long.
Of course, the usual suspects will be fouled. Ring Road crowds and ecological alerts will be shocked by “deregulation chaos” or some such nonsense. But let's be a reality: chaos has been the last decades of unchecked bureaucracy spreading. This EO has nothing to do with anarchy, but about accountability, which is the legal framework that ultimately tends toward the constitutional one. and Runners bright In the game, agents cannot hide a “reasonable interpretation” of vague laws, they must prove that their rules hold water. With Trump's first run (eliminated at a long-standing pace, he can do it.
So, what's next? The wheels have turned. Agent heads are working hard to crack, and the Governor’s team is ready to sniff waste and fraud Runners bright As their legal barrier. We will focus on the Hawk’s point of view – because if Trump’s first term taught us anything, it’s that he’s doing the deregulation like everyone else. Remember his 2 or so rules, which eventually cuts five Every new registration? This is about steroids, and the Supreme Court's ruling is supported.
Every Patriot who got there: Raise a glass tonight. This executive order is a bold step towards recapturing our government from deep state clutches Runners bright Make it stick to it. It is a victory of freedom, a victory of prosperity, and – I said – a victory of common sense science over ideological nonsense. Please continue to pay attention watt When we track this revolution in real time. The doe is off the belt, which will make things huge!
