The recordWhat has happened

1. Reduce CAFE standards to the model year 2020 level of 35 mpg fleet-wide

   The Mandate said

   “Reduce proposed fuel economy levels. The Administration should consider returning to the minimum average fuel economy levels specified by Congress for model year 2020 vehicles: levels aimed at achieving a fleet-wide average of 35 miles per gallon.”

   What happened

   Sep 30, 2026 Done

   NHTSA published the SAFE Vehicles Rule III as a final rule (91 FR 61988, RIN 2127-AM76), which "finalizes amendments to fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles for model years 2022-2026 and MYs 2027-2031" and describes itself as "substantially recalibrating" the CAFE program. The proposal it finalizes projected a fleet-wide average of about 34.5 mpg in MY 2031, the 35-mpg level the Quote names. The final rule keeps that level. NHTSA "estimates that the final standards would correspond to a combined industry fleetwide average of roughly 34.9 mpg in MY 2031". It takes effect 2026-11-30. The full text was read on 2026-10-01.

2. Rescind Biden Title IX rules and restore the 2020 DeVos regulations

   The Mandate said

   “Commence a new agency rulemaking process to rescind the current Administration's Title IX regulations; restore the Title IX regulations promulgated by then-Secretary Betsy DeVos on May 19, 2020; and define “sex” under Title IX to mean only biological sex recognized at birth.”

   What happened

   Sep 29, 2026 Partially done

   The Department published a final rule, "Recodification of Title IX Rules" (91 FR 61308), "to repeal the U.S. Department of Education's (Department) 2024 final rule amending the Title IX regulations and restoring the regulatory text that existed prior to the 2024 rulemaking". It gives as its reason that the 2024 rule "has been vacated and is not enforceable nationwide". The text that existed before the 2024 rule is the 2020 DeVos rule. So two of the Quote's three objects are now delivered by a rule: the 2024 regulations are repealed from the Code of Federal Regulations, and the 2020 text is restored. The third is not. Restoring the pre-2024 text does not "define 'sex' under Title IX to mean only biological sex recognized at birth", because the 2020 rule carries no such definition. The full text, read 2026-10-01, confirms it: the restored section 106.2 defines no "sex". The second Quote's day-one notice-and-comment did not happen either. The rule issued without notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), with good cause as an alternative, and took effect on publication.

3. Indefinitely curtail refugee admissions under USRAP

   The Mandate said

   “The federal government’s obligation to shift national security–essential screening and vetting resources to the forged border crisis will necessitate an indefinite curtailment of the number of USRAP refugee admissions. The State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, which administers USRAP, must shift its resources to challenges stemming from the current immigration situation until the crisis can be contained and refugee-focused screening and vetting capacity can reasonably be restored.”

   What happened

   Sep 25, 2026 Done

   Presidential Determination 2026-24 set the FY2027 ceiling at 17,500, the level the May 2026 emergency determination had raised FY2026 to. The admissions "shall primarily be allocated among Afrikaners from South Africa pursuant to Executive Order 14204". They remain "in all respects subject to" EO 14163, whose suspension of refugee entry the determination recites as still in force, along with EO 14161 and Proclamation 10998. A second year of the curtailment, not a resumption.

4. End Housing First policies at HUD

   The Mandate said

   “Where admissible in regulatory action, HUD should implement reforms reducing the implicit anti-marriage bias in housing assistance programs, strengthen work and work-readiness requirements, implement maximum term limits for residents in PBRA and TBRA programs, and end Housing First policies so that the department prioritizes mental health and substance abuse issues before jumping to permanent interventions in homelessness.”

   What happened

   Sep 11, 2026 Blocked

   HUD began the notice and comment the court found missing. Its Notice of Research Justifying Additional Incentives for Certain Activities To Reduce Homelessness proposes, under section 428(d)(2)(C), to incent five activities in future CoC competitions. They are transitional housing with services aimed at employment income and behavioral health; supportive services aimed at employment, healthcare and substance-use and mental-health treatment; "supportive service participation agreements"; drug-free and sober recovery housing; and coordination with law enforcement. It traces the "systematic defunding" of transitional housing since 2013 to Housing First, and says it is published "to reinforce its ability to establish the set-aside". Comments are due 2026-10-13. Rewarding treatment, recovery housing and participation agreements is the "prioritizes mental health and substance abuse issues" half of this Quote, proposed for the program the court just stopped. It is a proposal to cure the procedural defect. The 2026 NOFO remains vacated, so the item stays `blocked`.

5. Add a citizenship question to the decennial census

   The Mandate said

   “Any successful conservative Administration must include a citizenship question in the census. … By law, the Census Bureau must deliver the decennial census subjects/topics to Congress three years before Census Day (in this case, by April 1, 2027).”

   What happened

   Sep 10, 2026 Attempted

   The question went into a decennial rulemaking, as an option and not as a proposal. The Census Bureau's proposed rule on residence criteria and demographic questions says the Bureau "could, in addition, include a question about legal status on the short-form decennial census questionnaire", cites Department of Commerce v. New York for the Secretary's power "to inquire about citizenship on the census questionnaire", and "welcomes comments on the inclusion of a legal-status question". The proposed text would clear the way for one. Part 60 would count for apportionment only citizens and lawful permanent residents (§60.4). Part 70's new restrictions, including the rule that other demographic questions are voluntary, would not apply to "questions that seek information related to the application of the residence criteria" (§70.2(d)). The text itself adds no question, and the Bureau's stated first route to legal status is administrative records. The subjects report to Congress the Quote names is still due by 2027-04-01. Comments close 2026-10-13. The rung is unchanged at `attempted`.

6. Repeal and reissue WOTUS and CWA Section 401 regulations

   The Mandate said

   “Depending on the outcome of regulations from the Biden Administration as well as intervention by the Supreme Court on both waters of the United States (WOTUS) and CWA Section 401, the repeal and reissuance of new regulations should be pursued.”

   What happened

   Sep 9, 2026 Partially done

   The WOTUS half went back out for comment instead of forward to a rule. EPA and the Army issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking on docket EPA-HQ-OW-2025-0322 (RIN 2040-AG44), supplementing the November 2025 proposal "with additional regulatory options on certain aspects of the proposed rule" after considering the comments received. Reissuance is what the Quote asks for and neither half has been reissued: the WOTUS rulemaking is now reopened, and the Section 401 proposal of 2026-01-15 is still not final.

7. Issue a WOTUS rule codifying the Rapanos definition of navigable waters

   The Mandate said

   “A WOTUS rule that makes clear what is and is not a “navigable water” and respects private property rights. Coordinate with Congress to develop legislation, if necessary, to codify the definition in Rapanos v. United States that “waters of the United States” can refer only to “relatively permanent, standing or continuously flowing bodies of water…as opposed to ordinarily dry channels through which water occasionally or intermittently flows.””

   What happened

   Sep 9, 2026 Partially done

   Still a proposal, and now proposed a second time. Having considered the comments on the November 2025 NPRM, EPA and the Army issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking on the same docket (EPA-HQ-OW-2025-0322, RIN 2040-AG44) to "supplement the NPRM with additional regulatory options on certain aspects of the proposed rule". The Rapanos formulation the Quote asks be made clear is ten months into a rulemaking that has been reopened rather than finalized, so the rung does not move; the legislative half is still untouched.

8. Extend AGOA beyond 2025 with governance conditions

   The Mandate said

   “The next Administration should extend AGOA beyond its 2025 term but within a strategic framework that rewards good governance and pro–free market economic policies.”

   What happened

   Sep 2, 2026 Partially done

   Extended again, for longer, and still without conditions. Section 2008 of the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027 (Public Law 119-103) strikes "2026" and inserts "2028" in section 506B of the Trade Act of 1974 and section 112(g) of AGOA, and carries the regional apparel and third-country fabric provisions to 2028-12-31. The eligibility criteria are untouched and USTR's modernization review has produced no bill. Partial: the ask's first limb, extension, now reaches 2028; the governance-and-markets framework does not exist.
