Executive Order to cut down protected national forests. Great. 
Can anyone explain to me why these Executive Orders are so powerful and are allowed to do everything?
113 million hectares is about 3x the size of Germany.

#Alabama schools and colleges are preparing for possible impacts if President Trump moves to close the U.S. Department of #Education.
Trump is set to sign an #executiveorder as soon as Thursday that would direct his newly confirmed secretary of education, Linda McMahon, to close the department she leads, according to reports. That would shift any federal regulations, programs and funding currently managed by the department to another agency.
Trump signs executive order handing US public forests over to private logging industry.

The release was done to satisfy #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder, Caldwell wrote. And the colonel had also been asked to send photos of the #water to Washington [cuz Trump doesn’t read], acc/to an official familiar with the request…. Trump posted a photo of water flowing from Lake Kaweah on X the next day.
After hearing concerns from elected ofcls & their constituents “about potential flooding of downstream lands,” the agency reduced the water flow, Caldwell wrote.
In a social media post, President #Musk, I mean #Trump, is reopening the attacks on #SouthAfrica that he started last month over what he says is the government’s mistreatment of #white farmers. His post reiterates what he already put in an #ExecutiveOrder, that South African farmers can seek refuge in the United States – because white refugees are just fine by him.
Former #ProWrestling promoter & current #Education Secretary #LindaMcMahon delivered a stark message on Friday about the agency’s future. Asked on FauxNews whether the #UnitedStates “needs this department,” McMahon answered: “No, we don’t.”
In the interview, her first since she was confirmed to the cabinet this week, McMahon said that #Trump intended to sign an #ExecutiveOrder aimed at closing her department, but she declined to give details on timing.
#Trump is scheduled to host #cryptocurrency executives at the White House on Friday for a first-of-its-kind “#crypto summit.” The gathering will come a day after Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder to create a “#CryptoReserve,” or a national stockpile of #Bitcoin & other digital currencies, an idea that has been criticized as an effort to enrich crypto investors.

Trump preparing executive order to dissolve Department of Education: Sources
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump is expected to take the extraordinary step this week of directing his secretary of education to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education by executive order, according to sources familiar with a draft.
While #Trump suggests the federal govt is doing too much on #education, he also demands that it do more. The #ExecutiveOrder is expected to amplify Trump’s call for #schools to excise *illegal discrimination* in the *guise* of #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs or risk losing federal #funding, which accounts for about 10% of #K12 public #school dollars & a significant share of higher education funding.
The #ExecutiveOrder is cast as returning power over #education to states & local communities, as #Trump has repeatedly promised to do. It does not recognize that #K12 #schools, as well as public #universities & #colleges, are ALREADY controlled almost entirely by states & local communities. The federal government, by #law, may not control school #curriculum.
Rather, the #ExecutiveOrder calls on #Trump’s #Education Secy Linda McMahon [former professional wrestling promoter
] to “take all necessary steps” to facilitate the closure of the dept “to the maximum extent appropriate & permitted by law.”
Officials including McMahon have suggested that might include trying to shift some of the agency’s functions to other parts of government, but that also would face #legal hurdles, as the agency’s major programs are assigned, by #law, to the Education Dept.
#Trump to sign #ExecutiveOrder Thurs closing #Education Dept.
Trump to issue an EO Thurs directing his newly confirmed education secy to close the dept she now leads, 2 people familiar said.
A draft of the executive order that circulated on Wed recognizes that Trump does not have the #power to shutter the Education Dept. It would take an act of #Congress & 60 yes votes in the #Senate, which is unlikely given #Republicans hold only 53 seats.

In the weeks since #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder dismantling the #USAID, Andrea Minaj Casablanca’s phone has been inundated w/desperate pleas for help.
A counselor who works w/nonprofits catering to members of #Uganda’s embattled #LGBTQ population, she has fielded urgent requests from people seeking #HIV #medications, #therapy sessions & #shelter in the wake of Trump’s EO. Casablanca responded to these calls while grappling w/her own crisis: being fired from a job that was funded by USAID.
#SCOTUS on Wednesday backed a federal judge's #power to order the #Trump admin to pay $2B to #USAID contractors but did not require immediate payment.
In doing so, the court on a 5-4 vote rejected an emergency application filed by the #DOJ after #US District Judge Amir Ali issued a series of rulings demanding the government unfreeze funds that Trump put on hold with an #ExecutiveOrder.
