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 dishonest and dangerous activity of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP (“Perkins Coie”) has affected this country for decades. Notably, in 2016 while representing failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, which then manufactured a false “dossier” designed to steal an election. This egregious activity is part of a pattern. Perkins Coie has worked with activist donors including George Soros to judicially overturn popular, necessary, and democratically enacted election...

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. The prior administration’s immigration policies inexcusably endangered and caused enormous suffering within our Nation, including by causing the southern border to be overrun by cartels, criminal gangs, known terrorists, human traffickers, smugglers, unvetted military-age males from foreign adversaries, and illicit narcotics. These open-border policies are responsible for the horrific and inexcusable murders of many innocent American citizens at the hands of illegal aliens. One of those innocent victims was Jocelyn Nungaray,...

The production of timber, lumber, paper, bioenergy, and other wood products (timber production) is critical to our Nation’s well-being.

The United States has an abundance of timber resources that are more than adequate to meet our domestic timber production needs, but heavy-handed...

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. From the founding of our Republic, English has been used as our national language.

A nationally designated language is at the core of a unified and cohesive society, and the United States is strengthened...

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 plain text of Federal law, including the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193) (PRWORA), generally prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits. Title IV of the PRWORA states that it is national policy that “aliens within the Nation’s borders not depend on public resources to meet their needs,” and that “[i]t is a compelling government interest to remove the incentive for illegal immigration provided by...

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday night barring illegal immigrants from receiving federally funded benefits. “My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” read the text of Trump’s order. The president noted that the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) ostensibly prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits, but he argued that in the decades since its passage, “numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress.”

President Donald Trump on Wednesday is expected to sign an executive order that officially ends all federal taxpayer benefits to illegal migrants, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed. The order is expected to instruct all federal agencies to review their policies and programs in order to eliminate any benefits that go to illegal migrants, including ensuring that money that goes to states is not used to "support sanctuary policies." The directive will also require agencies to improve their eligibility verification processes to prevent federal funds and benefits from going to the illegal migrants, including public health benefits, for which...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 This is insane. Judge Royce Lamberth (Reagan) who had no qualms throwing grandmas into federal prison for minor offenses over Jan 6, entered a preliminary injunction preventing the enforcement of Pres Trump's exec order related to transgender federal inmates. Lamberth found the exec order violated the 8th Amendment rights of the anonymous criminals who are now taking hormone replacement therapy and other procedures on the taxpayer dime. The names, convictions, disciplinary record, etc of the plaintiffs are all under seal. 9:13 AM · Feb 19, 2025

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. Today, many hopeful couples dream of starting a family, but as many as one in seven are unable to conceive a child. Despite their hopes and efforts, infertility struggles can make conception difficult, turning what should be a joyful experience into an emotional and financial struggle. My Administration recognizes the importance of family formation, and as a Nation, our public policy must make it easier for loving and longing mothers and...

A federal judge appears poised to block the Trump administration if the Department of Defense attempts to place limitations on or ban transgender service members. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes is still hearing arguments Tuesday in the case but signaled deep skepticism with the claim that transgender service members lessen the military’s lethality or readiness. “You and I both agree that the greatest fighting force that world history has ever seen is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1% of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them. Would you...
