500,000 people caught collecting duplicate food stamp benefits. 244,000 dead people on the rolls. 895 arrests.

And that's just in the cooperating red states! FGA research cited on @IngrahamAngle with USDA @SecRollins digs deeper—and all taxpayers should take notice! ⤵️

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed 88 bills in a single day this year.

Nearly every welfare reform Representative @MichaelCarbone fought for was among them.

He held the line anyway. Because of his courage, Arizona has one of the most fiscally responsible budgets in the nation.

"Tonight, for his leadership, his friendship, and his extraordinary determination to get the job done, we are proud to honor Representative Carbone with the Legislator of the Year Award," said Gregg Pfister, FGA's Senior Director of State Affairs.

Congrats, Representative Carbone! 🇺🇸

ObamaCare financially incentivized states to favor able-bodied adults over the truly needy — fundamentally altering Medicaid's core mission.

It's a perverse arrangement with real consequences.

[The FGA @TheFGA]

The federal government covers 90% of the cost for states to enroll able-bodied adults through Medicaid expansion.

But the federal share for traditional enrollees? 60% on average.

Able-bodied adults are crowding out seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities. 🔽

This is what the One Big Beautiful Bill's $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program is built to do: put resources into the hands of states and hospitals, not federal bureaucracy.

Accountability and results—not blank checks!

[The FGA @TheFGA]

More than $130 million is now reaching rural hospitals and clinics in South Dakota, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, and West Virginia!

Here's where the One Big Beautiful Bill's Rural Health Transformation Program is landing in these states. 🧵

[The FGA @TheFGA]

West Virginia is getting $4.2 million to expand medical transportation through the Rural Health Link initiative, part of nearly $199 million awarded to the state this year.

What if Republicans built our agenda around the things Americans already overwhelmingly believe?

Voter ID. Congressional reform. Lower taxes. Health care price transparency. Border enforcement. Parental rights.

On these and other issues, seven, eight, and sometimes nine out of 10 Americans agree.

That is the opportunity to become the American Party.

🚨 The median age for a first-time home buyer is now 40 years old.

It doesn't have to be this way! Practical steps can be taken to save the dream of homeownership for young people and families.

The Left says welfare work requirements are punitive.

I've spent enough time in this fight to know the truth: telling an able-bodied adult with no young kids at home that they should remain trapped in dependency—and then calling that compassion.

Let's talk.

For example: At least 25 states could remove Medicaid recipients, then let them re-enroll every six months — undermining new work requirements before they even take hold.

President Trump's welfare reforms could move at least 10 million people from welfare to work — even more than the historic 1996 reform achieved.

But some states are already trying to claw the wins back!

[The FGA @TheFGA]

Welfare spending is nearly three times higher today than before 1996's landmark reform!

FGA's Jonathan Bain breaks down three decades of loopholes exploited by bureaucrats—and how the One Big Beautiful Bill refuses to let history repeat itself.

🧵👇

[The FGA @TheFGA]

The 1996 reform proved work requirements work.

OBBB is bigger and built to close the loopholes states spent three decades exploiting.

Its success now depends on one thing: whether states are held accountable.
