Congress's attempts to cut regulations
Congress is proposing a cutting year's worth of Obama regulations. This is something to follow and see if it actually becomes law.[1] --1990'sguy (talk) 15:20, 7 July 2017 (EDT)
WOTUS
I already wrote something about this at Talk:Donald Trump achievements, but it is a good idea if we watch this.[2] It may be better, however, to add this to Donald Trump achievements: Energy and environmental policy if WOTUS is repealed. --1990'sguy (talk) 22:29, 11 July 2017 (EDT)
State Department budget reductions
There has been much MSM coverage on this, but it seems like Trump's proposed State Department reductions will be at least partially realized.[3][4] Considering that this department is full of liberal career bureaucrats (not to mention that it is the same organization that urged Harry Truman not to recognize Israel), I think these cuts will be beneficial. We'll see what happens. --1990'sguy (talk) 14:08, 14 July 2017 (EDT)
- Here is another decent article describing the changes, or, at least, the proposed changes to the State Department: [5] --1990'sguy (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2017 (EDT)
Other reductions
It appears that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will eliminate or demote dozens of special envoy positions -- a good step in reducing government positions: [7][8][9] --1990'sguy (talk) 18:22, 28 August 2017 (EDT)
FEC conservative media censorship
By a majority of one, the FEC avoided taking steps that would have regulated conservative media sources: [10] --1990'sguy (talk) 21:56, 14 July 2017 (EDT)
HUD cutting regulations
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is trying to end another Obama-era regulation that makes the process for awarding Section 8 housing uncompetitive.[11] --1990'sguy (talk) 15:23, 7 August 2017 (EDT)
Interior Department: Obama-era regulation fully repealed
The Interior Department fully repealed an Obama-era regulation, and the repeal will take effect on September 6.[12][13] This is the first time so far in the administration that I saw a regulation repealed through only the actions of the executive branch, rather than the regulation being delayed or still in the consideration stage. --1990'sguy (talk) 23:30, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
Interior: national monuments
Secretary Zinke is recommending shrinking, rather than eliminating, some national monuments: [14][15][16] --1990'sguy (talk) 18:40, 24 August 2017 (EDT)
