The Briefing with Jen PsakiOct 23, 2026
Tier1 sources document a first-term rollback, as AP reports Roe was overturned by a Court with three Trump-appointed justices, and a second-term rollback, as FactCheck.org and Snopes describe executive orders rescinding the Gender Policy Council and ending DEI and gender-identity protections.

What was said
… I've received those as well, and I'm not even a politician. So we are in a very dire place and time in our culture, and we have to right the ship. Trump's presidency twice now has really rolled back women's rights, uh, and really contributed to this larger cultural devaluing of women and the feminine.

The Briefing with Jen Psaki · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. AP reports that the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade came from justices named by Trump, eliminating a federal abortion right, which is a first-term rollback of women's rights.[1]
Supports. FactCheck.org and Snopes document second-term executive orders that ended protections for transgender individuals, eliminated DEI offices, and rescinded the Gender Policy Council, which are rollbacks in the current term.[2][3]
Supports. A Senate Foreign Relations Democratic report from October 2026 documents that the second Trump administration gutted funding and policies supporting women and girls worldwide, corroborating second-term rollbacks.[4]
Context. Several advocacy and commentary sources (ACLU, NWLC, HRW, WBUR) describe a broad rollback in the second term and the first term's Title X changes, but they are not neutral and largely echo the characterization rather than adding independent records.[5][6][7][8][9]
Context. The extracted claim matches the passage faithfully; the post's phrase 'really rolled back women's rights' is the claimant's characterization, and the sources support the underlying policy actions in both terms rather than the rhetorical strength of the word 'rolled back'.
