On 11 December 2025, President Trump issued a long-awaited executive order entitled “Protecting American Investors from Foreign-Owned and Politically-Motivated Proxy Advisors.”
On 7 January 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order (EO) aimed at limiting and preventing certain large defense contractors from conducting stock buybacks, issuing dividends, and awarding executive compensation.
Recent developments in Washington point to a decisive shift in US space policy.
On 11 December 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order (EO) titled, “Ensuring A National Policy Framework For Artificial Intelligence,” signaling a major shift in US AI policy.
Since returning to office in January 2025, President Trump has made broad assertions of executive authority, including the power to fire independent agency heads at will. For almost a century, these officials have been protected by law from such “without cause” removals, enjoying insulation from direct presidential control. That status quo—rooted in the Supreme Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States—is on the verge of transformation.

Massachusetts Republican Party Chair Amy Carnevale released the following statement about the announcement:
"Residents of Massachusetts across the political spectrum agree that recent immigration apprehension efforts in Minnesota have been tumultuous and this has led to tragic results.
The solution is not to double down on furthering the divide between the state and federal government as proposed by Governor Healey. Instead, our state government should be working in partnership with federal authorities to ensure that criminal illegal aliens are identified and apprehended off the streets. These apprehensions are best done in spaces like courthouses.
By signing an executive order and advancing legislation to make it more difficult for the federal government to precisely and safely target enforcement toward criminal illegal aliens, our communities have now been put at greater risk for chaotic law enforcement. The actions today combined with the heated rhetoric by the Healey Administration will only exacerbate tensions as President Trump works to make the United States safer again."

BREAKING: Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey Announces New Measures To 'Protect' Residents From ICE
Forbes Breaking News On Thursday, Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) held a press conference.
84 Comments
Legislature Votes to Protect Integrity of the U.S. Constitution
November 19, 2025Today, the Massachusetts Legislature passed joint resolutions H.4692 and S.2684 which rescind all previous applications for a national Constitutional Convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. This joint initiative is in response to concerns that Congress and the Trump Administration could attempt to use prior Massachusetts resolutions to call for an Article V Constitutional Convention to advance their own political agenda, moves that could have broad and sweeping implications on current protections under the U.S. Constitution.
“As President Trump and Congressional Republicans continue to use every lever of government to roll back basic rights and halt progress on critical issues, this preventative measure will ensure that outdated Article V resolutions that were passed generations ago in Massachusetts cannot be used by Republicans to advance their own political agenda,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Leader Peisch and my colleagues in the House, as well as Senate President Spilka and our partners in the Senate, for recognizing the need for this measure.”
“Massachusetts refuses to be party to changing the American Constitution because Donald Trump and his supporters want him to be a king,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “We are a nation of laws, and today we spoke loudly and clearly that this Legislature insists that we follow them for the sake of our democracy. I applaud Majority Leader Creem for her leadership, each Senator for voting to protect our democracy, and Speaker Mariano, Leader Peisch, and our colleagues in the House for moving decisively for the sake of our country.”
“I would like to thank the Speaker for his support and leadership in bringing this resolution to the House floor. Given the uncertainty surrounding an Article V convention, such a process could present a serious threat to the U.S. Constitution, our democracy, and the civil rights and liberties that are the foundation of our nation,” said House Assistant Majority Leader Alice Hanlon Peisch (D-Wellesley), sponsor of the House resolutions. “Today, we come together in defense of the U.S. Constitution, a document that for more than two centuries has guided our nation, safeguarded our freedoms, and provided the framework for our democracy.”
“Today’s bipartisan vote is a resounding affirmation of our commitment to protecting the stability and integrity of the U.S. Constitution,” said Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Stone Creem (D-Newton), lead Senate sponsor of the resolutions. “By acting swiftly and collaboratively, both chambers are turning the page on these outdated petitions that no longer reflect the values or priorities of the Commonwealth. Massachusetts will not allow our past resolutions to be misused in ways that could undermine fundamental rights or destabilize our constitutional framework. I am grateful to Senate President Spilka for her support in prioritizing this important effort.”
The Legislature’s action makes Massachusetts the 17th state to rescind all prior applications for an Article V convention, and reaffirms that any constitutional decisions should reflect the will of today’s elected lawmakers and the people they represent.
An Article V convention is a process outlined in the U.S. Constitution allowing states to propose amendments if two-thirds (34) of state legislatures call for it. An Article V convention could open the entire Constitution to unpredictable changes, as there are no clear guidelines or limitations on what delegates could propose. While an Article V convention has never been called before in American history, there is recent conservative momentum to add up all active resolutions to meet the two-thirds threshold.
Massachusetts had several outdated Article V resolutions pending before Congress, including one sent in 1977 asking for an Article V convention to constitutionally ban abortions. These dormant calls have been cited in national legal strategies pushing for a convention, arguing they could still be considered active and contribute to the 34-state count. Sixteen states have already taken action to rescind all of their previous calls.
Both chambers of the Legislature voted to approve the resolutions, and the House and Senate Clerks will transmit copies of the resolutions to the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and to the Secretary of the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C.
###
Statement of Support
Geoff Foster, Executive Director of Common Cause Massachusetts
“A convention of states would hand the keys to our democracy over to a few wealthy, unelected special interests. Thanks to House Assistant Majority Leader Peisch and Senate Majority Leader Creem, the Legislature has built a vital firewall by rescinding all prior Massachusetts applications. Their timely action makes clear that any attempt to twist the Constitution for partisan gain won’t be done in our name.”

>>>>> When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien

>>>>> The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not

>>>>> campaign of 2006.
>>>>>
>>>>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then

>>>>>
>>>>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have

>>>>> Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
