🔥Vice President @JDVance is calling on our leaders to take the pledge to PROTECT Americans from fraudsters
"Together, we can have a unified front in the war on fraud" ⬇️
Do you hate fraud?
If so, I’m calling on you to join me in taking the pledge to protect Americans from fraudsters, by doing everything in your power to ensure that:
1. Vulnerable Americans, such as the elderly, indigent, and disabled, are protected from fraudsters who seek to prey on them.
2. Taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, not illegal aliens or fraudsters.
3. Taxpayer-funded benefits are not used by fraudsters to buy mansions or luxury cars.
4. Public agencies and officials work tirelessly and aggressively, coordinating at all levels of government, to stop fraud before payments go out the door.
5. Fraudsters face justice for their crimes in a court of law. Convicted fraudsters will be imprisoned and barred from ever receiving another penny of taxpayer dollars.
6. Illegal alien fraudsters are promptly arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, and deported, never able to take advantage of Americans’ generosity again.
Georgia, faith voters have a voice, and November 3 is the time to use it. Don't sit this election out. Make your plan. Cast your ballot. Let your voice be heard! 🇺🇸

Where's the Beef?
Fundamentally, Dirty Jobs was a tribute to two industries – agriculture and mining. In the words of a fourth-generation coal miner I met back in Season One, “There ain’t but two jobs in the whole world – farmin’ and minin’. Every thang else is jist a hobby folks get paid for.”
He wasn’t the first to say it, and I won’t be the last to repeat it. Especially today, when so much of what we do for work takes place in spaces that we can’t physically occupy. The cloud, the blockchain, the latest LLM, and whatever other digital layer now passes for a modern workplace would not exist without our ability to extract rare earths and critical minerals and turn them into something useful. Beyond the infrastructure that defines civilized life, every single piece of modern technology – including all of the software and all of the artificial intelligence that’s overtaken the headlines - is wholly reliant on mining. Just as every single miner, regardless of what they’re in the business of extracting, is wholly reliant on modern agriculture - not only to keep them fed, but to keep them clothed.
It’s easy to forget about our reliance on farmers and ranchers when the national pantry is fully stocked with affordable food, but that's not the case today. In fact, the government - through a presidential proclamation - just agreed to import 300,000 metric tons of ground beef into our national food supply, from places like Mexico and South America. And every rancher I know is alarmed, to say the least.
On this weeks episode, I asked Brooke Rollins @SecRollins, the Secretary of Agriculture, to explain what the administration is doing with regard to cost of beef, and how this decision to import so much beef is good for American farmers and ranchers. Like everyone else who shares my addiction to chewing and swallowing things, I'm appalled by the current price of meat, and curious as to why our ranchers are suddenly unable to provide us with affordable ground beef.
I’m glad the Secretary made time to chat, and hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

Where the Mountains Know My Name
There’s something about coming home in the fall.
After too many roads and too many miles,
too many airports, hotel rooms, and mornings
that begin somewhere other than home,
I feel something inside me settle
when the North Georgia mountains
finally rise into view.
I know these roads.
I know the way the ridgelines roll blue in the distance,
old as memory and steady as prayer.
I know the curves that lead me home
and the familiar mountains standing watch
like they have been waiting for me to return.
The cool mountain air wraps its arms around me
like a warm blanket pulled up against the chill,
and somehow I breathe a little deeper here.
This time of year,
the mountains are putting on their Sunday colors.
Deep crimson, burnt orange, and gold
spill across the hillsides,
with a little green still holding on.
The colors weave their magic across the mountains
like a patchwork quilt,
stitched together by autumn
and laid gently across the ridges and valleys
of the place I have always called home.
One by one, the leaves let go.
They drift across the mountain roads,
gather along the edges of the yard,
and crunch beneath my feet.
There’s a lesson in that, I suppose,
in knowing when to hold on
and when to trust the wind
with what has already had its season.
Then I step inside
and smell the coffee brewing.
That smell alone feels like home.
Rich and warm and familiar,
it fills the kitchen and slows me down.
I wrap both hands around my cup,
feel the warmth against my fingers,
and look out toward the mountains
through a window I have looked through
more times than I could ever count.
For once, I do not need to be anywhere else.
No suitcase waiting to be packed.
No road calling.
No schedule pulling me toward the next thing.
Just coffee in my hands,
fall outside my window,
and the quiet comfort of being home.
I have traveled enough to know
there are beautiful places in this world,
and I am grateful for every one
I have been blessed to see.
But there is a difference
between seeing somewhere beautiful
and belonging somewhere.
I belong here.
Here, where the mountains know my name.
Where generations before me
looked toward these same ridges,
walked beneath these same changing leaves,
and called this corner of Georgia home.
Maybe that is why returning
feels like more than coming back to a place.
It feels like coming back to myself.
And every autumn,
when the mountains put on their Sunday colors,
the leaves begin to fall,
and the morning air turns crisp and clean,
North Georgia seems to whisper
the same familiar words:
You’ve wandered long enough. Come on in. Pour yourself some coffee. Rest awhile. You’re home.

After a great conversation with President @realDonaldTrump,
I officially invited him to my first @WNBA game in 2027.
Also, @NBA Hall of Famer @dennisrodman has agreed to coach me this offseason and get me ready for the #WNBA season.
Can’t wait to become the greatest female @WNBA player of all time.
Rules Are Rules!

🚨 @RealTomHoman speaks at the second annual Hispanic Leadership Summit xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1PKqrNoyk…
When “activism” means shutting down the economy and targeting kids to advance your agenda, Americans deserve to know exactly who’s behind it.
Sunlight is a powerful disinfectant. Keep documenting. Keep exposing. 👀
Today, we celebrate the document that begins with three powerful words: We the People. 🇺🇸
On #ConstitutionDay, read President Trump’s 2026 proclamation honoring our Constitution and citizenship:

And explore the newly launched AFPI Let Teachers Teach, a resource for educators committed to preparing the next generation to understand America’s founding principles: afpiteachers.com/
Our Constitution endures when each generation understands the freedoms and responsibilities it protects.
Public safety shouldn’t come at the expense of individual privacy.
Flock cameras can be a valuable law enforcement tool but without clear guardrails, where do we draw the line?
AFPI’s new policy paper offers a balanced approach. Worth the read. 👇

“When people stop talking that is when you get violence.”
Let’s continue the conversation, even when we disagree, remembering that respect and kindness doesn’t come with a price tag - it’s free!
.@kayleigh_kozak is more than a colleague at @A1Policy—she is a courageous voice for victims and a powerful advocate for change. I’m looking forward to bringing Kayleigh’s Law to Georgia next legislative session and standing alongside her in the fight to protect victims and strengthen public safety.

I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN!
Let that sink in, AMERICA! 🇺🇸
Congratulations to my former colleague, @HeidiOverton, on her nomination to serve as @FDA Commissioner! Heidi brings a rare combination of deep policy knowledge, thoughtful leadership, and a genuine commitment to improving the health and well-being of the American people. Having had the opportunity to work alongside her, I know firsthand the intelligence, integrity, and steady leadership she brings to her work. She will be an outstanding leader for the FDA. Congratulations, Heidi—so well deserved!
AFPI congratulates Dr. Heidi Overton on her nomination to serve as Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration!
A veteran of AFPI's policy work, Dr. Overton helped shape a health policy agenda as vice chair of AFPI's Center for a Healthy America. A physician and researcher, she is exceptionally prepared for this role.
We wish her success!

As a mom raising daughters, I want there to be women’s sports left for them to play.
The few “Protect Women’s Sports” activists who are opposing the Protect College Sports Act are, sadly, not in touch with reality.
The current system is broken. Without this much needed reform, the sports you’re fighting for may cease to exist.
🚨The White House just ENDORSED S. 4668, the Protect College Sports Act.
This bipartisan legislation will preserve opportunities and curtail the endless litigation that has long plagued college athletics.
500,000+ student-athletes and nearly $4 BILLION in scholarships are on the line. Congress must act.
⛈️Today’s forecast: Georgia Republicans demanding real election integrity.
@POTUS just exposed the truth — foreign hacks, vulnerable machines, non-citizens on rolls, and buried fraud.
Time for Congress to step up and pass the Save America Act.
Voter ID. Clean rolls. Honest counts. No more excuses.
Who’s with me, Georgia? 🇺🇸 #SaveAmericaAct

Tonight, America First Policy Institute ( @A1Policy ) released the following statement:
It is shameful that certain media outlets chose to censor the President of the United States’ speech, denying the American people the opportunity to hear directly from their elected leader. This blatant suppression of information undermines the bedrock principles of free speech and an informed citizenry that define our nation.
Tonight’s speech revealed an alarming revelation that elements of the deep state intelligence community deliberately hid critical information from both the President and Congress. Such actions represent a direct assault on transparency and accountability in government, eroding public trust and threatening the very foundations of our constitutional republic.
AFPI commends President Trump and the dedicated task force for acting quickly and decisively to address these failures. Their swift response demonstrates the leadership and resolve needed to restore integrity to our institutions. As the most transparent president in American history, President Trump has consistently fought to deliver the truth to the American people, exposing what others sought to conceal.
The SAVE America Act must be passed without delay. This vital legislation is essential to safeguarding the sanctity of our republic, securing our elections, protecting our sovereignty, and ensuring that government serves the people, not the entrenched interests of the administrative state.
AFPI will leverage the Office for Fiscal and Regulatory Analysis (OFRA) to further explore and publicly share findings from the millions of documents now coming to light. The American people deserve full transparency, and we remain committed to illuminating the truth wherever it leads.
As Benjamin Franklin wisely warned at the close of the Constitutional Convention: 'It’s a republic, if you can keep it.' Today, that charge falls to each of us. AFPI will continue to advance policies and initiatives that empower We the People to preserve our republic for generations to come.

“OVER 250,000 NON-CITIZENS ARE ILLEGALLY REGISTERED TO VOTE
IN JUST THE FOUR STATES FOR WHICH PUBLIC DATA FILES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED.”
President Trump is dropping truth bombs on election integrity like no one else. Releasing classified docs exposing China’s massive hack of U.S. voter data — the largest breach in history.
This is what real leadership and transparency look like. America First is securing our elections. 🇺🇸
