Trump order declares independent US agencies aren’t independent anymore
Arstechnica
·

Medial
President Trump issued an executive order expanding presidential control over independent U.S. agencies like the FCC and SEC, traditionally designed to function independently. The order mandates these agencies align their legal interpretations with presidential views, submit draft regulations for White House review, and engage with the White House on strategic priorities. Critics argue this undermines the agencies' autonomy, spurring likely legal challenges. The move reflects Trump's extension of presidential authority over historically nonpartisan areas.

Former President Donald Trump's allies have reportedly drafted a comprehensive executive order focused on advancing military technology and reducing regulations on AI development. Titled "Make America First in AI," the proposed plan signifies a potential shift in AI policy if Trump were to return to the White House in 2025. The draft order suggests creating "industry-led" agencies to evaluate AI models and protect against foreign threats. It contrasts with the Biden administration's executive order, which imposed safety testing requirements on advanced AI systems. The conservative Heritage Foundation is also developing its own AI policies to enhance US research and development while limiting China's access to the technology.

The future of net neutrality in the US is uncertain and heavily dependent on the outcome of the presidential election in November. If Joe Biden wins, there is potential for the current FCC rules on net neutrality to become law, providing protections against internet service providers manipulating internet traffic. However, if Donald Trump wins, net neutrality efforts are likely to be dismantled once again. There is also a threat to net neutrality from a Supreme Court case that could undermine the power of independent agencies like the FCC. The fate of net neutrality remains uncertain, and vigilance is necessary regardless of the election outcome.

Elon Musk serves as a senior adviser to the president as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) but has no formal authority to make decisions.

DOGE focuses on regulating government spending, but a federal judge has restricted its access to US Treasury payment systems. Investigations into various agencies continue under DOGE’s oversight.
