President Donald Trump was inaugurated on Monday, and he came out swinging. On his first day, he signed 26 executive orders and rolled back about 80 of former president Joe Biden’s executive actions. (For comparison, Biden signed nine executive orders on day one; in 2017, Trump signed one; in 2013, Obama signed zero, and in 2009, just two.) Trump was making good on the promises he campaigned on. On immigration, he’s trying to end birthright citizenship . On diversity, equity, and inclusion, he’s saying, “You’re fired” to federal DEI employees . On trans issues, he signed an order that declares only two genders . And on “America First,” he’s saying goodbye to the “Gulf of Mexico” and hello to the “ Gulf of America .” Trump also announced Stargate , gave TikTok a second life, pardoned about 1,500 January 6 rioters , and pulled out of the Paris climate agreement . Suffice it to say, there is much to discuss. Today, Bari Weiss is back with Batya Ungar-Sargon, Brianna Wu, and Free Press senior editor Peter Savodnik to unpack Trump’s first week in office and what they think about…Elon’s arm.

MOSCOW, Russia — Three days into his second term, President Donald Trump threatened to impose “high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States” if Moscow doesn’t reach an agreement to end the war in Ukraine “soon.” But since the start of the war in February 2022, the West had placed so many sanctions on … Read more…
 
A lot can change in four years. Take, for example, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, which operates as a city council. Back in 2021, “equity” was the board’s guiding principle. At its inaugural meeting in January of that year, the word was uttered nearly two dozen times. “Equity and racial justice are the issues that matter,” Catherine Stefani, a f… Read more…
 
Donald Trump, just sworn in as the 47th president, was reelected to be a wrecking ball, a middle finger, the people’s punch to the Beltway’s mouth. And while this populist moment feels “unprecedented,” it’s not. The rebuke of the ruling class is encoded in our nation’s DNA. We have seen populist leaders like Donald Trump before. He stands on the shoulders of Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot, Alabama governor George Wallace, and Louisiana legend Huey Long. There have been populist senators, governors, newspaper editors, and radio broadcasters. But only rarely has a populist climbed as high as President Trump. In fact, it has happened only once before. The last populist to win the presidency was born before the American Revolution. He rose from nothing to become a great general. His adoring troops called him Old Hickory, and his enemies derided him as a bigamist and a tyrant in waiting. His name was Andrew Jackson, and he’s the guy who’s still on the 20 dollar bill. On today’s debut episode of Breaking History , Eli Lake explains how Andrew Jackson’s presidency is the best guide to what Trump’s second term could look like.
