Almost one year ago, the Trump tax bill became law. 

Its hidden gems are making it even bigger and more beautiful than critics ever imagined. Here is a helpful list of the greatest hits! 🇺🇸

[VA Secretary Doug Collins @SecVetAffairs]

I promised President Trump we’d put Veterans first, and as your Secretary, we're doing just that.

From 260,000 backlog claims over 125 days to under 70,000- a 74% drop. Veterans deserve results, and we’re delivering. 🇺🇸

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

The Washington Monument stands as a tribute to our first president. This week, thanks to our 45th and 47th president, it is illuminated with the story of American greatness. 🇺🇸

[Fairfax GOP @FairfaxGOP]

Your gas tax goes up again on July 1. You won't get to vote on it. You never have.

Here's the part Richmond is counting on you to miss: in 2020, Democrats in the General Assembly tied Virginia's gas tax to inflation — so it raises itself, automatically, every single July. No vote. No roll call. No fingerprints.

The result? The state gas tax has DOUBLED in six years — from 16.2 cents a gallon in 2020 to 32.6 cents this week.

Glenn Youngkin tried to give drivers a break with a three-month suspension. Senate Democrats killed it, 21-18.

They built a tax that raises itself so they'd never have to put their names on it. Their names are on something else: every State Senate and House of Delegates seat on your ballot in November 2027.

Share this with every Fairfax driver who never got a vote.

Florida @GovRonDeSantis has become one of the strongest fiscal case studies in the country.

Population growth has surged alongside Texas since 2020, Florida holds an $18B reserve, maintains AAA credit ratings from all major agencies, and has delivered nearly $9.7B in tax relief while balancing the budget.

Washington should be taking notes, not excuses.

🚨 AAF QUOTED

@HvonSpakovsky: “Folks who are kept from crossing the line cannot make any claims that they’ve got a right to be in the United States.”

The Supreme Court reaffirmed the executive branch’s authority as the Court “properly slapped down lower court judges” who ignored federal law and blocked the administration from ending TPS.

[Carrie Severino @JCNSeverino]

Universal for me, but not for thee.

Colorado’s “universal” preschool program — barring Catholic schools from participating unless they abandon admissions practices rooted in faith — is just the state’s latest assault on the First Amendment.

A breakdown of the case. 👇🏻

Cockpit video from our opening flyover of @Freedom250 last night.

Thank you America for all that you are and all that you will be. Thank you for trusting me.

I'll have more to say about it later. My college roommate and one of my best friends Joe Pitts was on my wing for this one.

God Bless America and long live The Republic.

[Under Secretary For Memorial Affairs @NCA_USMA]

It was a great honor to engage with our WWII heroes on this anniversary of #DDay at the Day of Gratitude in Las Vegas today. They deserve our deepest respect and gratitude. Thank you for your service!

After working for 40 years, the average Social Security recipient gets $1850/month.

After being in America for 40 minutes, the average illegal “refugee” gets $3874/month.

And red or blue, that should PISS EVERYONE OFF.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

[Veterans Affairs @DeptVetAffairs]

Today we honor the nearly 160,000 Allied troops stormed the shores of Normandy. Thousands of brave Americans faced heavy fire, cleared mined beaches, and scaled staggering cliffs in the largest seaborne invasion in history.

You helped free a continent, protect our nation, and preserve liberty.

To those who did not come home: your sacrifice will be remembered. Always.

Pope Leo has named Maria Montserrat Alvarado, President and COO of EWTN News, as Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication. She becomes the first laywoman to lead a Vatican Dicastery, and will begin her new role in November.

This is not getting the attention it deserves!!

🚨 For too long, students were told a four-year degree was the only path to success.

The new Workforce Pell Grant changes that. Soon, low-income students can use federal student aid for job training programs leading to in-demand careers with less debt and faster pathways to work, in as little as 8 weeks.

[VA Secretary Doug Collins @SecVetAffairs]

Caregivers never take a day off. As long as I'm secretary, I'll do everything I can to take care of our Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors.

[America First Policy Institute @A1Policy]

Quarter after quarter, earnings are coming in far above estimates, proving the economy is outperforming what the experts predicted.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY CRAP! The Trump economy just nearly DOUBLED jobs expectations, adding +115,000 while 62,000 were estimated

"We are MUCH stronger!"

"Last month — UPWARD revision from 178K to 185K. These are GOOD numbers."

Experts LOSE 🔥🇺🇸
