America 250: Presidential Message on Mark Twain’s 190th Birthday
This document, presented under the 'Presidential Actions' banner but taking the form of a message, commemorates the 190th birthday of author Mark Twain by praising his wit, honesty, and role in chronicling the American experience through works like *Adventures of Huckleberry Finn*.
The message connects Twain's legacy of getting started and striving for excellence to the current administration's stated goals of revitalizing the economy, securing the border, and achieving global peace, expressing hope for a 'Golden Age of prosperity for all Americans' rather than a 'Gilded Age'.
Thanksgiving Day, 2025
The document is a Presidential Proclamation issued by Donald J. Trump, designating Thursday, November 27, 2025, as a National Day of Thanksgiving.
It invokes historical precedents set by Presidents Washington and Lincoln to establish a tradition of national gratitude, claims that God has blessed the nation with strong economic recovery and restored sovereignty, and encourages all Americans to gather in homes and places of worship to offer thanks for the nation's many blessings as it approaches its 250th anniversary of independence.
Launching the Genesis Mission
This Presidential Action establishes the "Genesis Mission," a major national effort coordinated by the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) and largely implemented by the Secretary of Energy (the DOE), to accelerate scientific discovery using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The mission focuses on creating the American Science and Security Platform, which will integrate federal scientific datasets and high-performance computing resources to train scientific foundation models, test hypotheses, and automate research workflows across critical national challenges such as clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and biotechnology.
The action mandates coordination across executive agencies, outlines specific timelines for establishing the platform's infrastructure and identifying priority challenges, and encourages strong public-private partnerships under rigorous security and data-sharing protocols.
Designation of Certain Muslim Brotherhood Chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists
This Presidential Action invokes constitutional and statutory authority, including the Immigration and Nationality Act and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, to initiate the formal designation process for certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood located in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
The stated purpose is to counter violence and destabilization campaigns allegedly carried out by these transnational groups that threaten the security of U.S. citizens and interests, mandating a joint report from the Secretaries of State and Treasury within 30 days to guide subsequent designation actions.
Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Coke Oven Processing Security
This Presidential Proclamation issues a two-year regulatory exemption to specific coke oven stationary sources listed in Annex I from meeting certain compliance deadlines established by the EPA's July 5, 2024, Coke Oven Rule.
The President asserts that the required emissions-control technologies are not commercially available, and adherence to the current schedule would severely harm the domestic coke and steel industry, thereby undermining national security and the production of materials necessary for critical infrastructure and defense.
Modifying the Scope of Tariffs on the Government of Brazil
This Presidential Action modifies the scope of the additional 40 percent *ad valorem* duty rate previously imposed on certain articles from Brazil under Executive Order 14323 by exempting specific agricultural imports.
The decision reflects progress made during ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and the Government of Brazil concerning the national emergency declared in the prior order.
The action directs the Department of State to continue monitoring the situation and formally amends the tariff schedule effective for goods entered on or after November 13, 2025.
This document is a bulletin from the White House announcing several recent presidential nominations sent to the Senate for confirmation, including individuals designated for leadership positions within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB), and multiple appointments for United States District Judgeships in Arkansas, Texas, and Alaska.
This document is a Presidential Proclamation signed by Donald J. Trump on November 10, 2025, officially declaring November 11, 2025, as Veterans Day.
The President uses the proclamation to express deep gratitude for the courage and service of all U.S. veterans, reaffirming the nation's commitment to support them.
It also details accomplishments during the Administration concerning VA reform, expanding healthcare options, addressing veteran homelessness, and providing tax relief, asserting that the Federal Government will no longer fail its heroes while encouraging citizens and officials to participate in patriotic activities honoring that day.
