Lordy, even I know that they're already required to: "Government agencies are generally required to buy American-made products under the Buy American Act of 1933, which mandates that federal agencies acquire domestic end products for public use."
Trump says federal agencies ‘must buy American’ products

Here's my short essay from my test. It's about AI, and the impact of technology in general. Go easy on me. (Actual proper citations were not needed)
——
La tecnología mšs importante en la sociedad actual es el inteligencia artificial, IA, o el acrónimo inglés, “AI”.
“AI” es una tecnología relativamente nueva. Él aparecí al comienzo del ano 2023 y cambió ršpidamente la manera que los personas en línea buscaban y creaban. Realmente, “AI” no esta inteligente, mejor dicho uno modelo de lenguaje grande, “LLM” en inglés. LLM significa que los ordenadores que les alimentan no usan razón, pero los intentos a predecir una respuesta de una pregunta o mensaje en función de los patrones de palabras y mensajes en les bancos de datos.(1)
La tecnología ha contribuido en gran medida al progreso del sociedad. La tecnología agrícola lo hizo posible para humanidad a crecer y cambiar de nómada a creer asentamientos y eventualmente ciudades mas grandes. La hecha posible a usar recursos del medio ambiente en nos sociedades. Pero la tecnología ha creado grandes problemas también como desigualdad o cambio climštico.
Yo creo que, en la mayoría de situaciones, la tecnología es una fuerza positiva en la sociedad. Las problemas son creado por los personas sin moralidad, a menudo para la acumulación de la riqueza, influencia, y autoridad. Si la población puede mantener la influencia democrštica para reglamentar la tecnología, como la AI, para el beneficio de la población y los individuos, entonces la tecnología puede contribuir a la progresión de la sociedad.
Finalmente, si los individuos son compasivos y respetuosos, la tecnología reflejarš esa también.

It has been pointed out that lots of the people involved in the US's Jan 6th insurrection were affluent non-professional business owners, in real estate, car sales etc. Wealthy but not typically college educated.
I see a big parallel with the Irish fuel protests: agri-contractors and road-hauliers.

Jenny O’Connell-Nowain was ready to go to jail.
She had been prepared to spend six months in the custody of the Shasta county sheriff’s office.
One of the top prosecutors in this part of far northern California had presented the evidence against her in a weeklong trial,
and a jury had delivered a guilty verdict.
A judge offered probation, but O’Connell-Nowain did not agree to the terms.
Her crime?
