The win

An executive order revoked the 2009 Chesapeake order (EO 13508) and told Agriculture, Commerce, Homeland Security, Interior, War, and EPA to put federal bay money into on-the-ground projects that cut nutrient and sediment runoff. EPA is to work with the six watershed states and D.C. on stormwater “rain taxes” and to encourage repeals that do not raise household bills. The fact sheet says EPA already trimmed about $1 million in Chesapeake administrative spending in FY 2026 and sent $2.7 million more to those states than in FY 2025.

The win

Trump signed S. 307, the Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act. It requires Justice and the Bureau of Prisons to adopt national standards on sexual harassment and sexual assault of BOP staff by incarcerated people, and to implement the Justice Inspector General’s recommendations on those cases.

The win

Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing OMB and USTR to identify Canadian-origin items in the federal civil procurement system and, where the law allows, remove them or make them unavailable to buy. Canada’s Buy Canadian rules had shut U.S. firms out while Canadian companies kept preferential access to more than $280 billion a year in U.S. government procurement covered by the WTO GPA. USTR is to keep watching how Ottawa and the provinces treat U.S. goods in their own tenders.
