Trump hands to-do list to Congress with 7 priorities during State of the Union address
Every delay has consequences.
President Donald Trump delivered a sweeping to-do list to Congress during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, urging lawmakers seven separate times to take action on priorities ranging from drug pricing and border security to crime and housing policy.
Trump urged Congress to enshrine his "Most-Favored-Nation" drug pricing policy into law as part of his "Trump Rx" initiative. The policy aims to tie U.S. prescription drug prices to the lowest prices paid by other developed nations.
Earlier this month, his administration launched the TrumpRx website, a federal platform designed to allow Americans to search for select brand-name medications and access lower negotiated prices.
The site stems from agreements the White House said in December it reached with nine major pharmaceutical companies, including Amgen, Merck, Novartis, Sanofi and Bristol Myers Squibb. It lists dozens of high-cost drugs offered at discount prices to treat conditions such as diabetes, asthma, HIV, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

Despite suggesting it would be politically difficult to reverse the policy, Trump told lawmakers to "codify it anyway."
After highlighting the story of a Houston mother outbid on 20 homes by investment firms, Trump asked Congress to make permanent his executive order banning large Wall Street-backed firms from buying single-family homes in bulk. "We want homes for people, not for corporations," he said.
While outlining retirement policy changes and pledging to protect Social Security and Medicare, Trump pivoted to ethics reform, calling on lawmakers to "pass the ‘Stop Insider Trading Act’ without delay."
The measure would ban members of Congress from buying individual stocks and require advance public notice before sales.

Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., who introduced the bill, told FOX Business in January, "If you want to trade stocks you should go to Wall Street, not to Capitol Hill. I think we have an opportunity here to dramatically improve America's trust in Congress."
Following the story of a young girl seriously injured in a crash involving an illegal immigrant truck driver, Trump called on Congress to pass what he dubbed the "Dalilah Law," barring states from issuing commercial driver’s licenses to people in the country illegally.
"Dalilah Coleman was only 5 years old in June 2024 when an 18-wheel tractor-trailer plowed into her stopped car, traveling at 60 miles …
