We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota.
You have probably read the serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade.
Today we have taken three actions against the blatant fraud that appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country:
1. I have activated our defend the spend system for all ACF payments. Starting today, all ACF payments across America will require a justification and a receipt or photo evidence before we send money to a state.
2. Alex Adams and I have identified the individuals in @nickshirleyy's excellent work. I have demanded from @GovTimWalz a comprehensive audit of these centers. This includes attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations, and inspections.
3. We have launched a dedicated fraud-reporting hotline and email address at childcare.gov Whether you are a parent, provider, or member of the general public, we want to hear from you.
We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud.

The US Dept of War announces investment of over $2 Billion for a US Smelter to process critical minerals such as Silver and more. What will be a $7B+ total build, this is the first such facility since the 1970s to be built to process CONCENTRATES.
Currently only dore (higher grade of metal) is refined in the States. This marks a massive move to reshore critical infrastructure.
How serious are these metals?...well the Pentagon will own 40% of this facility. *Will note that my company Scottsdale Mint uses a lot of Silver from Korea Zinc who is the lead on the project.
HOLY HELL: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.Asked by Kristen Welker why the U.S. needs Venezuelan oil, Rubio didn’t cite law, trade, or consent.
He said:
“Why does China need their oil? Russia? Iran? This is the West. This is where we live.”
Russia, China, and Iran must “get out,” Rubio said — because the Western Hemisphere is ours, and no one from “outside our hemisphere” is allowed in America’s backyard.

The Trump Doctrine represents a full‑scale revival of the Jacksonian tradition in American statecraft, making Donald J. Trump as important to the 21st century as Andrew Jackson was to the 19th. By embracing modern supply‑side economics, delivering major tax cuts, deregulation, and a decisive shift of policy emphasis toward productive capital and economic sovereignty rather than financial engineering, Trump has reoriented the engines of growth toward productive capital, investment, industry, and national capacity.
Anchored by the Trump Corollary, asserting a sovereign, American‑led Western Hemisphere and demonstrated in both the flawless military operation in Venezuela and the broader regime‑pressure strategy, this doctrine is not theater but an integrated fusion of economic, security, and hemispheric power.
These changes are as profound in their structural implications as the original Jacksonian pivot, and those who assume Trump is a merely performative politician and strategist are therefore sorely mistaken, confusing a disruptive style with a coherent focused project to realign America’s coalition, its economic model, and its role in the world.
I can't wait for unhinged lefties to curse Trump for this....

President Trump said on Wednesday that he will take steps to prevent institutional investors from buying single-family homes, claiming the move would help make housing more affordable for Americans.
In a social media post, Mr. Trump said that the dream of home ownership has become increasingly out of reach for many Americans, and that action is needed to allow more people to reach the milestone of owning a residence.
"I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it," Mr. Trump wrote. "People live in homes, not corporations."
He added that he will provide more details about the proposal at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for more information on what steps Mr. Trump plans to take to limit investors from acquiring homes.

You realize that the tweet/chart you shared shows data theough late 2024, don’t you?
Yeah, didn’t think so.
It does show that. Have to think they made a mistake on the graph imo. We know that Biden policies enabled drug traffic where Trump policies are aimed at stopping drug traffic.
No dummy, the chart is absolutely correct and that's why Bondi removed the tweet when her stupidity was pointed out by thousands of people, LOL.
WINSDAY REPORT One week in and Project 2026 shows no sign of slowing down!
- The United States seizes not one, but TWO sanctioned oil tankers. They're going to be paying us to put gas in our cars by the time this is done
- the Trump administration announces new Federal dietary guidelines that prioritize protein, healthy fats, and fruits and vegetables and "declare war on added sugar." MAHA starting the year off strong!!
- President Trump announces that he is banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes
- President Trump announces that he is banning defense contractors from dividends and stock buybacks and is capping their executive pay because they are not making military equipment fast enough. Raytheon gets special attention on Truth Social for being the worst offender

- Speaker Johnson officially invites President Trump to deliver the State of the Union address on February 24th
- President Trump announces that Venezuela has decided that the United States will be their principal business partner and will be buying only American products with the money they make from the new oil deal. The new Venezuelan President Rubio is doing a phenomenal job
- President Trump announces that Colombian President Gustavo Petro called him to "explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements" after he apparently realized that telling Trump to come get him was a moronic move
