Donald Trump is skipping the second GOP debate to speak to striking autoworkers in Detroit, per CNBC.

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

Today @POTUS signed an EO that keeps America leading in AI while putting frontier AI capabilities to work strengthening our cyber defenses.

AI systems are now the most powerful tools we have ever had to harden our cyber infrastructure and stay ahead of adversaries. It is a real blessing that these capabilities are being developed by American industry, and not by those who would use them against us.

In 1960, in Morgantown, WV, John F. Kennedy called coal "the foundation of American strength and the source of American plenty."

Those words are just as true today. When you see a skyscraper or a battleship, when you turn on the AC or flip a light switch — thank God for a coal miner.

BREAKING: Russ Vought at OMB has just overhauled $1 TRILLION in federal grants by adding: Strict E-Verify requirements, English-language rules, and political appointee oversight to ensure taxpayer dollars go to American citizens first.

Vought’s new proposal replaces automatic payouts with “pay for performance” standards. Grants can now be terminated for waste, fraud, underperformance, or pushing anti-American priorities like DEI, gender ideology, or Green New Scam programs.

No more blank checks and fraud complaints go STRAIGHT to inspectors general and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro within 10 days.

🇺🇸🇺🇸

Here’s Vought a month ago laying out his plan that went into effect today.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply.

This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.

The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Today, the task force and the DOJ announced a massive take down of two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota state history, as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged by the federal government. Our message is simple: if you’re committing fraud, we will find you, and we won’t rest until justice is served.

The W.H. has a SAP on the rail safety amendment.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

BEHIND THE SCENES -- At a Catholic Connection event this morning with EMMER, @VP was making a pitch for rail safety language in the highway bill.

“Our new coalition is, more working class than it was 30 or 40 years ago. And I think it comes along with a very ... Catholic understanding that we have to be geared towards the common good.”

“So we appreciate anybody who's willing to give that bill their support. It matters a lot to me and the president."

Conservative Coalition Backing Trump Admin’s Push To Prevent Another East Palestine Disaster https://t.co/RqPqF0FIPf

[Alex Bruesewitz 🇺🇸 @alexbruesewitz]

Republicans need to pass this bill to ensure that the East Palestine disaster never happens again.

Very important vote today!

[Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr]

Huge vote today in the House Transportation Committee to make sure that another East Palestine rail disaster never happens again. We campaigned on this in 2024, and it’s time to finally make it happen. Don’t listen to swamp lies—vote with MAGA and the patriots of East Palestine!

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

Yesterday, @POTUS signed an Executive Order restoring integrity to our financial system by kicking out illegals.

Expect more self-deportations to follow!

In executing @POTUS’ directive to lower the cost of home construction, HUD is encouraging states and localities to reevaluate their regulations, which can add more than $100k to the price of a home build.

HUD’s Best Practices Report will CUT COSTS, UNLOCK LAND, AND SAVE TIME.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

President Trump is keeping his promise to the people of East Palestine. The Trump Administration will never forget you.

Our message to Congress is clear: pass the Railway Safety Act.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

It’s been almost two months since President Trump took the bold step of officially forming the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.

We’ve already uncovered tens of billions of dollars in defrauded taxpayer money, prosecuted dozens of fraudsters, and stopped billions in suspicious payments. And we’re just getting started.

So why has it taken the federal government until now to finally tackle fraud? Because Andrew Ferguson and I are taking a new approach. Here’s how.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: VP JD Vance reveals why crushing fraud is PERSONAL for him. This is why we LOVE JD

"I grew up in a family where we sometimes benefited from these programs. The generosity of the American people is one of the most amazing things about our country."

"I think all of us, of course, just passed tax day, none of us like paying our taxes, but we do it. And why do we do it? Because we know that it goes to give a bite to a low-income family that can't afford food."

"We know that it goes to pay the military who keep us safe. We know that it goes to some essential services, but that trust, that trust in our government, that trust in our institution, it depends on us taking that trust seriously."

"How long are people going to pay into programs if they know that that money doesn't go to a low-income kid who needs health care, but that money goes into a fraudster getting rich?"

"This doesn't work, and this doesn't make sense unless we take fraud seriously, so I'm proud to be part of an effort in our government."

"I'm proud to lead the effort in our government to finally take fraud seriously. We want to protect these programs for the kids and the families who need them."

"We want to ensure that the American taxpayer isn't getting fleeced, and I'd say just a few months into it, gentlemen, we have done a very, very good job. Let's keep it up." 🔥

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

The American dream of homeownership is under attack. President Trump is fighting to ensure homes are for PEOPLE, not corporations.
