YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP | | | |
Donald Trump begins Tuesday as the 47th president of the U.S. following an opulent Inauguration Day celebration — and a deluge of executive orders set to impact American lives. Ohio State is the college football champion. |
Donald Trump kicks off his second term with flurry of action. Now what happens? |
Americans are processing a flurry of executive orders signed by President Donald Trump just hours after he took the oath of office on Monday. |
What did Trump do? He began signing the executive orders around 7 p.m. Monday, after his swearing-in ceremony and a parade, and just before the evening's inaugural balls were slated to begin. He started by rescinding 78 executive orders approved by his predecessor Joe Biden, including efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions, protect federal lands from oil drilling and reduce the cost of prescription medications. |
USA TODAY is breaking down what these orders mean for you and your family: |
The big takeaway: Now the real work begins. The Trump Cabinet is taking shape. Executive orders are flying. Republican lawmakers are working to advance Trump's agenda amid ultra-thin margins in both chambers. | Margelis Tinoco, 48, of Colombia, cries after finding out her 1 p.m. appointment was no longer valid via the CBP One app in El Paso, Texas, on Jan. 20, 2025.

In case you missed it: Here's what happened on Inauguration Day |
There were conspicuous hats. Billionaires rubbed shoulders with lawmakers. Carrie Underwood's performance glittered despite an audio mishap. The 24-degree weather in the capital didn't cool Trump's intense rhetoric about the state of the nation and his plans for his second term. |
