Trump launches aviation safety assessment ordering 'competence' over 'DEI'

() Portions of federal government websites have gone dark as agencies are being told to “pause” them to remove content that doesn’t comply with President Donald Trump’s views.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture was told to delete pages about climate change, according to an email from the agency’s communications department.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s pages on HIV also went dark earlier in the day, but some content was later restored. Other health information and statistics used by clinicians and public health officials appeared to be removed.

The entire census.gov website also appeared to be down Friday evening.

Officials from health departments and nonprofits who receive federal funds also say they’ve been told to get rid of mentions of gender and equity from their programs to comply with an executive order issued earlier this week.

It’s not clear how organizations will be able to comply with the instructions and what will happen to information about health programs specifically designed to address equity gaps or issues specifically affecting transgender people.

An order banning pronouns in email signatures, initially only thought to extend to federal staff, may also reportedly be extended to groups getting federal grants.
