On January 20, 2025, President Trump kept a 2023 campaign promise and signed Executive Order 14160, directing agencies not to recognize citizenship for certain U.S.-born children of noncitizens. On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court affirmed an injunction against that order and held those children are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. On August 6, 2026 — three days after the Court issued its judgment — he signed Executive Orders 14418 and 14419, framed as implementing exceptions the Court left standing and as ending “birth tourism.” The paper trail is complete. Whether the follow-on orders are a lawful remainder or a workaround is the open test.
GAO’s August 27, 2026 public report finds more than 15,000 lost operational days and $3.4 billion in operating-and-support costs on delayed or idle active attack submarines over FY 2016–2025, with public shipyards finishing depot work on time only about 11 percent of the time — against CNO Navigation Plan 2024’s 80 percent combat-surge-ready goal by 2027 and the FY 2026 budget’s stated case for on-time Virginia deliveries, in-service maintenance, and AUKUS.
A December 5, 2025 presidential memorandum told HHS and CDC to study peer-country childhood immunization practices and, if those practices were superior, update the U.S. schedule while preserving access. EO 14407 §2(c) (May 29, 2026) locked no-cost-sharing coverage for any ACIP/CDC category; EO 14420 does not repeal that lock. EO 14420 §1 (August 10, 2026) cited delay due to litigation over ACIP’s composition — no case is named here — then §2(a)(i) declared an 11-disease universal list, with hepatitis A and hepatitis B in both §2(a)(ii) and §2(a)(iii).
