Section 1 - Purpose: To ensure employees involved in policy-determining, -making, and -advocating roles can be removed for misconduct or poor performance in an expedient manner. Currently, supervisors are unable to expeditiously remove individuals for poor performance or misconduct. In addition, underperforming managers are rarely or never reassigned or dismissed. By transferring these positions to the Schedule Policy/Career position enables swift accountability for poor performance or misconduct by these policy role individuals. In addition, this EO directs Executive Departments and agencies to appropriately recognize and reward employees in policy roles for outstanding work.
Section 2 - Amendments to the Civil Service Rules and regulations (Title 5): The following rules are revised per this EO Civil Service Rule I of 5 CFR 1.3(d); Civil Service Rule III of 5 CFR 3.1(a); Civil Service Rule VI of 5 CFR 6.2; 5 CFR 6.8; Civil Service Rule XI of 5 CFR 11.3(a); 5 CFR 550.703; 5 CFR 550.704(b). The director of OPM is directed to prepare and issue revisions the appropriate portions of the Civil Service Rules that do not substantively affect agency operations.
EO14171 Restoring Accountability to Policy-Influencing Positions Within the Federal Workforce was signed by President Trump on January 20, 2025. The purpose of the EO was to provide accountability with the ability to remove poor-performing individuals in policy-influencing positions. This EO directed the director of OPM to provide additional categories of positions for consideration of conversion to the Schedule Policy/Career status. The Director has done so and the positions recommended for inclusion are noted in the appendix noted in Section 5 of the current EO.
Section 4 - Performance Awards: directs heads of agencies/departments with personnel in Schedule Policy/Career positions to set aside a separate bonus pool to use for MERIT awards for outstanding work. The Director of OPM is directed to initiate rulemaking to create a Presidential award program for these employees.
Section 5 - Schedule Policy/Career Determination and Transfer: The appendix (available here as a pdf) lists every position that is being converted to a Schedule Policy/Career position. Within 7 days, the head of each agency shall notify those employees affected and conform records and practices to reflect the changes created by this EO.
The accompanying Fact Sheet President Donald J. Trump Increases Accountability in the Federal Workforce explaining that this EO restores accountability to the Federal workforce impacting about 8,000 senior policy-influencing positions. This EO fixes the broken system that allowed personnel who were underperforming to remain on the job for over a year as they were processed through an onerous procedure for their removal. This action leads to further 'draining of the swamp' removing deep state actors that are circumventing the will of We The People.
Frankly, I agree with this decision. Policy roles need to be held to the highest standards and the ability to remove policy role holders for misconduct or poor performance is imperative. Just because you personally may not agree with the current Leader Of The Free World does NOT give you the right to sabotage or delay doing your assigned work.
Section 1 - Purpose: To reform Customs enforcement by removing systemic inefficiencies, loopholes, insufficient enforcement mechanisms, and outdated processes that threaten national security, undermine foreign relations, disadvantage domestic businesses, and harm Americans.
Section 2 - Importers of Record: The Secretary of DHS is directed to revise importer eligibility requirements, guidance, and policies consistent with this order within 180 days of the date of this order. The Secretary shall also issue, amend, modify, or rescind any relevant regulation, police or guidance to prohibit foreigners from filing information entry. Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary shall require importers to maintain "good standing" with CBP; update the importer's registry; and establish enhanced vetting procedures for importers.
Section 3 - Import Disclosure and Certification Requirements: Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary will take steps to establish a requirement mandating submission of documentation or information that foreign importers are required to provide foreign customs.
Section 4 - Enforcement and Penalties: Within 90 days of the date of this order, the secretary shall revise all mitigation standards including establishing a minimum penalty floor of not less than 50% of the assessed penalty IAW Federal Law.
Section 5 - Streamlined disposal: Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary shall expedite and enhance the seizure and disposal of non-compliant imports.
Section 6 - Transparency: Within 90 days of the date of this order, transparency in customs shall be enhanced to establish requirements, standards, and practices consistent with the policy of this order.
Section 7 - Consideration of Relevant Issues: President Trump has considered all relevant alternatives, issues, and factors and has determined that this EO is a reasonable result.
Section 8 - Legislation: Within 45 days of the date of this order, the Secretary will recommend legislation to strengthen customs enforcement (in consultation of the Director of OMB and heads of other relevant agencies).
Section 9 - Reporting: Within 1 year of the date of this order, the Secretary is directed to submit a report on the effectiveness of the matters set forth in this EO to the President through the US Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.
Section 10 - Definitions: This section defines the terms US IOR and foreign IOR.
Section 11 - Severability: If any portion of this EO is held to be invalid, the rest of the EO still remains in force.
The accompanying Fact Sheet President Donald J. Trump Strengthens Customs Enforcement explains that this EO directs DHS and CBP to strengthen requirements for importers; establish disclosure and certification requirements; increase enforcement; enhance seizure and disposal of non-compliant imports; reduces regulatory burdens; enhances transparency in customs; and directs DHS to propose legislation to strengthen customs enforcement. This EO promotes US economic strength and national security by combatting customs fraud while building on the President's record of putting America First in trade.
Pay attention to what our Congressional (s)elected politicians are doing between now and the mid-terms in November. Note which ones WANT to be primaried/voted out of office come November. How do you know? They vote AGAINST the will of We The People! At least the House passed a bill to fund ICE & CBP through the end of this Fiscal Year; however, now the Senate needs to 'debate' and vote on it. However, prior to any work being done by the Senate, the Senate Republicans need to come together, remove Thune, and replace him with someone WILLING to work with President Trump to pass those bills that reflect the will of We The People!

We expect the Dumocrats to vote against everything We The People want since they support illegal immigration, gang members, terrorists, lawlessness, chaos, antifa, blm, riots, protests, violence, lies, fraud, waste, abuse, theft of taxpayer dollars, funding of NGOs that go against the will of We The People, etc.
We do NOT expect the President's political party to vote against him (which makes it a vote against the will of We The People). Therefore, HCR86 is a vote against the President and what he is accomplishing in Iran and the following "Republicans" either voted FOR this bill or chose NOT to vote at all:
Voted FOR this bill: Barret (MI), Davidson (OH), Fitzpatrick (PA), Massie (KY)
Chose NOT to vote: Johnson (SD), Kean (NJ), Luttrell (TX), Mace (SC), Norman (SC), Ogles (TN)

In the lawsuit Talbott, et.al., v. USA docket # 25-5087 filed in Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on March 26, 2025 about Transgender Servicemember Ban (Appeal of Talbott v Trump docket # 1:25-cv-00240) where The government appealed Judge Reyes' preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from banning transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military. On June 1, 2026, Circuit Judges Wilkins and Walker and Senior Circuit Judge Rogers made the following opinion:
Opinion announcing the judgment of the Court filed by Circuit Judge WILKINS.
For the reasons expressed above and in the separate opinions, we affirm in part, and vacate in part, the District Court’s preliminary injunction, and we remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part filed by Senior Circuit Judge ROGERS.
Accordingly, I would affirm the order of the district court enjoining the Hegseth Policy on retention and accession, as modified to apply to the named plaintiffs, see Trump v. CASA, Inc., 606 U.S. at 837.
Dissenting opinion filed by Circuit Judge WALKER.
“We know that from top to bottom of the Army the complaint is often made, and sometimes with justification, that there is discrimination, favoritism or other objectionable handling of men. But judges are not given the task of running the Army.”
Only the Executive and Congress are responsible for system-wide military judgments about the composition of the armed forces.
The Supreme Court has never assumed that role for itself.
Neither has the D.C. Circuit.
Not until today.
The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, replied to this ruling with:
The US Military is about having an active, healthy, fighting force that can be deployed at anytime to anywhere, for as long as it takes. "Transgender" individuals in the military cannot be deployed anytime to anywhere for any length of time due to the restrictions of their "trans" treatments needs. In addition, "trans" individuals in the military under the autopen administration were given exemptions so they would not have to comply with weight, fitness, or uniform restrictions to which other service members had to adhere.
Let's remember that SCOTUS already decided, back on May 6, 2025, that the US Military can bar transgender individuals from serving in the military. And, as Circuit Judge Walker points out in his dissent, constitutionally, only the Executive and Congress can make determinations for the US Military.
Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
