Officially blaming the aircraft incident in D.C., without founding, on DEI:
“This shocking event follows problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous “diversity equity and inclusion” tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with “severe intellectual” disabilities in the FAA.”

Thanks! I added this to my site: https://2025realitycheck.com/.
Please let me know you’ve got any additional items to add or suggestions. I haven’t been able to read through all the executive actions yet.
Are you just using a web archive link so that it’ll still work if they remove it from the site?
Correct, you can see the full list of everything, including the official White House links, over at !keeptrack@lemmy.world
Thanks for this
