On June 13, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a formal proclamation declaring June 15, 2025, as Father’s Day, using his authority under a law passed by Congress in 1972 (36 U.S.C. 109) that lets presidents officially recognize this day each year. This proclamation asks government officials to display the U.S. flag on all government buildings on Father’s Day and invites state and local governments and the public to celebrate with ceremonies. The action mainly affects government agencies, state and local governments, and the American public by encouraging them to honor fathers. While the proclamation praises fathers and mentions policy goals like preserving the Child Tax Credit and expanding school choice, these statements reflect the president’s views and priorities rather than new legal changes. The proclamation’s main legal effect is the formal recognition of Father’s Day on June 15, 2025, continuing a longstanding tradition. Read full document →

On June 13, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation officially naming June 14, 2025, as Flag Day and the week starting June 8, 2025, as National Flag Week. This action directs government officials to display the American flag on all federal buildings during that week and encourages all Americans to do the same. The proclamation relies on laws passed by Congress in 1949 and 1966 that ask the President to make these yearly announcements. This matters because it reminds people to honor the flag as a symbol of the country’s history and values, and it calls for public ceremonies and flag displays to promote national unity and patriotism.

On June 13, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order about a plan for a Japanese company called Nippon Steel Corporation to buy a big American company named United States Steel Corporation. The order changes a previous order from January 3, 2025, which had stopped this deal because it might hurt U.S. national security. Now, the order says the deal can only happen if Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel sign an agreement with the U.S. government to protect national security, and they must follow this agreement closely. The government’s review group, called CFIUS, will watch the deal carefully to make sure the rules are followed. This matters because the government says the deal could affect the country’s safety, so they want to control how it happens to keep the U.S. secure. Read full document →

On June 13, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation officially declaring June 14, 2025, as the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Army. This proclamation honors the Army’s history since its creation by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, and celebrates its role in defending the country. The document also states that the President has directed changes in military policy, including removing diversity and inclusion programs, updating medical rules about transgender service members, and reinstating soldiers who were dismissed for refusing the COVID vaccine. These actions affect current and former military personnel and reflect the administration’s priorities for the military’s future. The proclamation is largely symbolic but signals ongoing policy shifts within the Department of Defense under this President’s authority. Read full document →

- Starting October 1, 2025, and lasting until October 1, 2030, the Postal Regulatory Commission is proposing a new rule that limits the U.S. Postal Service to changing prices for most mail services only once each year, instead of twice or more. This rule also says that discounts the Postal Service gives for certain mail tasks must better match the actual savings from those tasks, so prices are fairer and encourage efficiency. This matters because it helps keep mail prices more stable and predictable for people and businesses who send mail, making it easier to plan and avoid sudden price jumps. Comments on this proposal are due by July 14, 2025. Read full document →
