Staff Reports
Donald Trump has taken decisive action in the ongoing battle for justice and transparency by signing three executive actions aimed at both tightening national security and improving healthcare pricing. The hallmark of his recent endeavors was a memo targeting Covington & Burling LLP, the prestigious law firm that lent its assistance to special counsel Jack Smith during his less-than-glorious investigation into Trump’s affairs.
The memo advises all relevant federal agencies to freeze security clearances of anyone affiliated with the law firm who assisted Smith. This move reflects Trump’s commitment to preventing the judicial process from being weaponized against citizens. It seems someone in D.C. is finally standing up for the rule of law rather than slipping on the political banana peel. It’s about time someone took a hard look at how these so-called “legal professionals” operate, especially when their actions appear to involve leveraging the system against political opponents.
In addition to halting the security clearances, Trump is ordering a thorough review of any government contracts held by Covington & Burling. This is not just a precaution—it’s a mechanism for accountability that is sorely needed in a climate where the line between law and politics has become increasingly blurred. Perhaps some of these elite lawyers should have consulted their ethical compasses before diving headfirst into the swamp.

Trump also signed two executive orders with significant implications for Americans. The first executive order addresses the convoluted mess that is healthcare pricing. Trump is pushing for real transparency by commanding the Departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services to enforce regulations that had been stalled under his predecessor. This new directive will force hospitals and insurers to disclose actual prices rather than vague estimates. It’s a welcome step toward unraveling the mystery of medical bills that Americans face, with the hope of making healthcare a little less of a financial black hole.
The second order tackles a rather unexpected but crucial issue: imported copper. With America’s increasing dependence on imported copper posing threats to national security and economic stability, Trump’s investigation through the Department of Commerce seeks to uncover vulnerabilities within the supply chain. This is a matter that could affect everything from manufacturing to national defense, and identifying potential risks before they manifest is always wise. It’s a refreshing shift away from passive policy discussions toward tangible actions that focus on bolstering domestic industries.
In a time when accountability in the legal world is desperately needed and transparency in healthcare can feel elusive, Trump’s executive actions provide a glimmer of hope for those anticipating a government that actually works for the people, rather than against them. Whether it’s scrutinizing politically motivated law firms or shedding light on healthcare costs, these initiatives signal a welcome return to common sense and pragmatism in governance.
