Labor Directives
This document page, titled 'Presidential Actions,' serves as a notification that the President has formally sent new nominations to the Senate for confirmation, specifically naming Charles Baldis for Special Counsel and Jules Hurst III for Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), allowing the legislative branch to begin its review and confirmation process for these executive roles.
Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System
This Presidential Action directs federal agencies to strengthen the integrity and safety of the U.S. financial system by mitigating risks associated with illicit cross-border finance and unsafe lending practices.
The order tasks the Secretary of the Treasury with issuing an advisory detailing red flags for financial abuse related to unauthorized employment and payroll schemes, and proposing changes to Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations to enhance customer due diligence, potentially considering lawful immigration status when assessing risk.
Furthermore, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is directed to clarify that potential deportation and loss of wages should be considered factors in assessing a non-work-authorized borrower's ability to repay a loan, aiming to safeguard the national banking system against structural credit risks.

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation officially designating May 8, 2026, as Military Spouse Day to honor the sacrifices, resilience, and unwavering support provided by spouses of members of the Armed Forces.
The proclamation recognizes military spouses as vital contributors to national defense, acknowledges the unique challenges they face—including frequent moves and deployments—and affirms the commitment to improving employment opportunities, housing, childcare, healthcare, and education for military families.
National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2026
This Presidential Proclamation officially designates May 2026 as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, linking physical health and athletic participation directly to American strength and character.
The document reaffirms commitments to revitalizing the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, reestablishing the Presidential Fitness Test, supporting youth sports, and taking executive actions to ensure fairness in women's athletics and opportunities in college sports.
The Proclamation concludes by encouraging all Americans to engage in physical activity in observance of the designation and in anticipation of major upcoming international sporting events.
National Foster Care Month, 2026
President Donald J. Trump formally proclaims May 2026 as National Foster Care Month, using the occasion to commend foster families, social workers, and advocates for their dedication to children navigating the foster care system.
The proclamation also highlights the Administration's efforts stemming from a November 2025 Executive Order, including the expansion of housing support initiatives like the Melania Trump Fostering Youth to Independence Program, and underscores ongoing commitments to improving efficiency and accountability nationwide.
This Presidential Action establishes a policy framework to expand retirement savings opportunities for American workers who do not have access to employer-sponsored plans, such as independent contractors and small business employees.
Key actions include directing the Secretary of the Treasury to create the website TrumpIRA.gov by January 1, 2027, to list high-quality, low-cost Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) that meet strict expense ratio standards (limited to 0.15%).
The order also mandates steps to help eligible individuals access the Federal Saver's Match benefit established under the SECURE 2.0 Act and requires collaboration to ensure worker protections and issue legislative recommendations to codify these provisions.
This Presidential Action establishes a new policy favoring fixed-price contracts with performance-based considerations as the default method for federal procurement across executive branch agencies to enhance cost predictability, taxpayer protection, and contractor accountability.
The order mandates that cost-reimbursement and other non-fixed-price contracts require written justification and, if exceeding set monetary thresholds (ranging from \$10 million to \$100 million depending on the agency), explicit written approval from the agency head.
Furthermore, agencies must review their current top ten largest non-fixed-price contracts within 90 days to facilitate restructuring towards fixed-price terms, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is tasked with issuing implementation guidance and proposing necessary amendments to the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
