By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Background. My Administration is committed to addressing the significant risks associated with law firms, particularly so-called “Big Law” firms, that engage in conduct detrimental to critical American interests. Many firms take actions that threaten public safety and national security, limit constitutional freedoms, degrade the quality of American elections, or undermine bedrock American principles. Moreover, law firms regularly conduct this harmful activity through their powerful pro bono practices, earmarking hundreds of millions of their clients’...

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Despite pioneering self-government, the United States now fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections employed by modern, developed nations, as well as those still developing. India and Brazil, for example, are tying voter identification to a biometric database, while the United States largely relies on self-attestation for citizenship. In tabulating votes, Germany and Canada require use of paper ballots, counted in public by local officials, which substantially reduces the number...

The president issued a new order Tuesday sanctioning yet another law firm, Jenner & Block. The result overall has been called an extraordinary threat to the constitutional rights of due process and legal representation, as well as a far weaker effort to challenge Trump’s actions in court than during his first term.President Donald Trump’s crackdown on lawyers is having a chilling effect on his opponents’ ability to defend themselves or challenge his actions in court, according to people who say they are struggling to find legal representation as a result of his challenges. Biden-era officials said they’re having trouble finding...

It was a cold, solemn day on the Texas ranch. A biting, prairie wind was staved off with a thick, fur coat wrapped around an American music icon. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson had said before he died that at his burial he wanted the Rev. Billy Graham to pray and Anita Bryant to sing. Bryant, once Miss Oklahoma and a Miss America second runner-up, was known in 1973 as the vivacious spokeswoman for Florida orange juice and the Sunshine State. She nervously tried to get her voice ready to sing for a worldwide satellite television audience at the president’s...

And there are those who still argue Iran shouldn’t negotiate to reduce its nuclear profile. This is literally becoming a question of Iran’s existential survival.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose. Promoting financial integrity and operational efficiency are critical responsibilities of the Federal Government. The Federal Government processes trillions of dollars annually in disbursements to individuals, businesses, and organizations, and in receipts from taxes, fees, and other payments to finance daily and long-term Government operations. These transactions flow into and out of the United States General Fund (General Fund), which might be thought of as America’s bank account. In Fiscal Year 2024, $33.9 trillion...

President Donald Trump issued an executive order Tuesday targeting Chicago law firm Jenner & Block. The firm also has an office in Washington, D.C.

I have further determined that the material...

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose. The continued use of paper-based payments by the Federal Government, including checks and money orders, flowing into and out of the United States General Fund, which might be thought of as America’s bank account, imposes unnecessary costs; delays; and risks of fraud, lost payments, theft, and inefficiencies. Mail theft complaints have increased substantially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Historically, Department of the Treasury checks are 16 times more likely to be reported lost or...

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and in view of the national emergency declared with respect to Venezuela in Executive Order 13692 of March 8, 2015 (Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Venezuela), as continued most recently in the notice of February 27, 2025 (Continuation of the National...

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION On March 25, 1821, fueled by the rallying cry, “Freedom or Death,” Greek revolutionaries began a war for independence against the Ottoman Empire. The hard-fought victory established a sovereign Greek state and a national homeland for Greece. On the 204th anniversary of Greek Independence Day, we honor this heroic fight for freedom, and the enduring democratic ideals that continue to inspire the world. America is inextricably tied to both ancient and modern Greece. We are tethered by history and tradition, the struggle for self-governance, emancipation, and rebirth. Our Founding...

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY SUBJECT: Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court Lawyers and law firms that engage in actions that violate the laws of the United States or rules governing attorney conduct must be efficiently and effectively held accountable. Accountability is especially important when misconduct by lawyers and law firms threatens our national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity. Recent examples of grossly unethical misconduct are far too common. For instance, in 2016, Marc Elias, founder and chair of Elias Law Group LLP, was deeply involved in the...

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES SUBJECT: Rescinding Security Clearances and Access to Classified Information from Specified Individuals I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information: Antony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weissmann, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and any other member of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s family. Therefore, I hereby direct every executive department and agency head to take all additional action as necessary...

CV NEWS FEED // Congressman Riley Moore, R-W.Va., has introduced the Respect Parents’ Childcare Choices Act to the House of Representatives, which would increase funding to help low-income and working class parents cover the cost of childcare. The legislation would provide vouchers for childcare, not only for third-party childcare options but also for relatives and stay-at-home mothers or fathers, according to a March 24 article from the Daily Wire. “For decades, conservatives have rallied around being pro-life, but far too often, the policy framework that came with it lacked strong, substantive ideas to reduce the burden on American families,” Moore...

Thanks to mail in voting, democrat James Malone started off with a 25-30% point lead. Why do mail in ballots ALWAYS favor democrats? I really hope Elections are truly fixed by 2026 midterms… right now we have the Presidency, House, and Senate. There are no excuses anymore why they shouldn’t.

In today’s election in PA, for a state Senate seat in the Lancaster area which the GOP should easily have held in an R+9 district, the Republicans appear to have blown it. It’s been nearly HALF A CENTURY (if not more) since the Republicans lost that district. Special elections at the state legislative level are not necessarily bellwethers — they sure weren’t in 2023-24 — but this is not a good sign at all. And what happens in Wisconsin next week won’t be a good sign either, barring a substantial upset. Turnout means everything in a close race in a...

Warning: The following article contains upsetting and graphic content. Reader discretion is advised. CV NEWS FEED // An Illinois-based abortionist is facing a lawsuit alleging that he botched a surgical abortion by leaving more than half of the unborn child inside the mother’s body, prompting her to need an emergency surgery. “This was the worst thing I’ve ever seen at surgery and I’ve been doing this for over 30 years,” one of the surgeons told Melinda Henneberger, author of a March 23 opinion article about the lawsuit for the Kansas City Star. “We knew from the CAT scan that she...

A large-scale study provides the strongest evidence yet that a shorter, standard-dose course radiation treatment is just as effective as conventional radiotherapy for prostate cancer, without compromising safety. The shorter approach, known as isodose moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy (MHFRT), delivers slightly higher doses of radiation per session, allowing the total treatment duration to be over four to five weeks instead of seven to eight weeks. Patients who received this type of MHFRT had the same cancer control rates as those who received conventional radiotherapy. Additionally, the risk of long-term side effects affecting the bladder and intestines was no higher with MHFRT,...

The Trump administration announced plans Tuesday to freeze tens of millions of dollars in family-planning grants to the nation’s biggest abortion company. The move would halt approximately $20 million in federal funding to Planned Parenthood affiliates, according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal. Pro-life advocates hailed the decision as a significant step toward redirecting taxpayer dollars away from abortion centers and toward life-affirming alternatives. The funding pause, detailed in reports from The Wall Street Journal, targets grants under review for their alignment with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. While the administration examines these programs, the freeze effectively...

HOUSTON — Court documents are shedding new light on the investigation into a woman accused of illegally performing abortions at clinics in the Houston area. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of Maria Margarita Rojas, 48, in Waller County earlier this week. She's charged with illegal performance of an abortion, a felony, and practicing medicine without a license. Court documents reviewed by KHOU 11 reveal how an anonymous tip in January prompted the months-long investigation. Investigators set up surveillance of clinics owned and operated by Rojas. The clinics listed were: * Clinica Waller Latinoamericana in Waller * Clinica...
