'95 Trump moves from 2025 you didn't hear about from legacy media

Study finds 92% of major network coverage during first 100 days was
negative'

About 70% of Americans said they didn't have "very much" or any trust
that news outlets would fairly cover President Donald Trump's second
term, according to a YouGov poll.

Media Research Center found that 92% of the major network media coverage
of Trump during his first 100 days in office was negative.

As Trump's second administration nears its one year anniversary, here are
five stories about the president's achievements that you won't find in
legacy media coverage.

1. Pardoning the FACE Act Prisoners
On Jan. 23, Trump pardoned the 23 pro-lifers who were convicted for
actions including praying outside abortion clinics and encouraging women
in unplanned pregnancies to choose life.

"They should not have been prosecuted. Many of them are elderly people.
They should not have been prosecuted," the president said.

The predecessor Biden-Harris administration's Justice Department had
brought criminal or civil cases under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act against at least 50 pro-life advocates. Twenty-three
were convicted. Ten were released from prison after the pardons.

The Daily Signal spoke to several of the pardoned pro-life advocates, who thanked the president for setting them free.

"I'm very thankful to the Lord to be pardoned and to get back into the
fight against baby-murdering and to serve the Lord and to be with my
family," Calvin Zastrow, 64, told The Daily Signal.

"I really believe that President Trump saved my life," Paulette Harlow,
75, told The Daily Signal. "Because if I had ever gone to prison, I don't think I would have made it. And I certainly would not have been able to
have my back surgeries and everything that I needed to have and have
taken care of."

2. Expanding the Mexico City Policy
On Jan. 24, President Trump reinstated the Mexico City Policy after
President Joe Biden rescinded it.

The State Department announced in October that it was working to expand
the scope of the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars for foreign abortions.

"The department will soon take additional steps to close loopholes that allowed taxpayer funding for promotion of abortion in previous iterations
of the Mexico City Policy and expand the scope of the policy to ensure
every penny of U.S. foreign assistance prioritizes American values, not
the woke agenda," a senior State Department official told The Daily
Signal.

The expanded policy will prohibit U.S. funding for gender ideology, and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. For example, the State Department is ending a $2 million grant to fund gender-affirming
operations in Guatemala.

The new provision restricts a broader range of nongovernmental
organization programming, such as those for HIV/AIDS, President's
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, maternal and child health, nutrition, and infectious diseases like malaria and tuberculosis.

This scope of the policy will apply across all non-military foreign assistance.

Trump also renewed America's membership in the Geneva Consensus
Declaration, a 40-nation coalition of countries that declare that there
is no international right to abortion.

3. Classifying Transgender Procedures for Kids as Human Rights Violations
As of November, the State Department is classifying "destructive
ideologies" formerly promoted by the Biden administration in the United
States as human rights violations.

The State Department's annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices
will now account for transgender procedures for minors, DEI hiring,
attacks on free speech, and state-funded abortions, a State Department official told The Daily Signal.

The State Department submits Human Rights Reports on all countries
receiving assistance and all United Nations member states to Congress in accordance with the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and the Trade Act of
1974.

Member states will be required to count the number of abortions taking
place in their countries, and they will be denounced for funding
abortions or the distribution of drugs which end an unborn baby's life.

4. Ending Taxpayer-Funded Abortions for Illegal Migrant Children
The Department of Health and Human Services is moving to roll back a
Biden-era regulation that allows taxpayer dollars to pay for
unaccompanied illegal alien children in the U.S. to travel to get
abortions, The Daily Signal first reported.

HHS is cleaning up the Biden administration regulation so that it is in compliance with the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding for abortions, HHS officials told The Daily Signal.

"HHS is reviewing the relevant regulations and guidance to ensure they
align with all applicable laws, including the Hyde Amendment," an HHS
official told The Daily Signal in a statement.

On Nov. 10, 2022, the Biden administration proposed the "Unaccompanied Children Program Foundational Rule," which required the Office of Refugee Resettlement to "ensure unaccompanied children have access to medical
care, including transportation across state lines and associated
ancillary services if necessary to access appropriate medical services, including access to medical specialists, family planning services, and
medical services requiring heightened ORR involvement."

The Biden rule violates the Hyde Amendment, the 1976 law prohibiting the
use of federal funds to pay for most abortions, according to a July
memorandum of opinion from Trump's Office of Legal Counsel, a branch of
the Department of Justice.

Now, the Department of Health and Human Services is undergoing the task
of challenging a final rule on a topic with a history of court precedent.

5. Upgrading Human Trafficking Hotline
The Trump administration has chosen a new provider to run its human trafficking hotline after complaints that the Biden administration's
provider failed to answer calls from victims, The Daily Signal first
reported.

HHS' Administration for Children and Families announced a five-year,
projected $35 million grant to Compass Connections to run the National
Human Trafficking Hotline.

HHS received complaints from victims and state attorneys general that
with the previous provider under the Biden administration, wait times
were too long, calls were dropped, and victims could not rely on the
hotline to deliver the necessary quality of service.

"State attorneys general were telling us that third-party tips were not getting delivered to law enforcement, so their investigations into human trafficking were hindered," acting Administration for Children and
Families Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison told The Daily Signal, "and
they had a much harder time getting criminals off the streets of human trafficking, to get information where it needs to go on time in an
accurate way, so that law enforcement can make arrests and end human trafficking."

The award includes an increase of $1 million annually and will bring
annual funding to $7 million, showing Trump's commitment to protecting survivors of human trafficking, according to Gradison
