Here's a new executive order signed yesterday that launches a sweeping deregulatory push
This is what I mean by radical change.
The order creates a systematic process to review every federal regulation—not just for benefit-cost analysis, but for constitutionality, statutory compliance, proper delegated authority, and more. This is (hopefully) the “deconstruction of the administrative state” that every Republican president (including Trump I) promised but failed to deliver.
And yet, I have seen almost nothing about this in the media. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t find anything about it in the NYT or WSJ—or really anywhere else. Just a lone Politico article. The truly radical stuff continues to fly under the radar.
