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!
FGA CEO @TarrenBragdon's latest for @FoxNewsOpinion. 🔗 BELOW.

Bravo to @TeamPillen for closing the loophole that allowed non-essential, inappropriate, and luxury purchases through the TANF program.
More states should follow Nebraska's lead and end this abuse of taxpayer dollars. Read my latest in @FoxNews online:

Cash welfare is designed to help low-income families achieve economic security and stability. In most states it can still go toward concert tickets, spa treatments and luxury watches.
Nebraska just changed that. 👀 foxnews.com/opinion/youd-nev… @HaydenDublois @FoxNews

CMS’s latest move will clean the rolls of nearly 200,000 duplicate or deceased enrollments — while ZERO Americans lose their insurance.
The estimated savings: $1.5 BILLION per year!
$600,000 in food stamp benefits, allegedly swiped at a single Tacoma grocery store. Prosecutors say the owner ran customers’ EBT cards, handed back half in cash, and kept the rest. He now faces 6 counts of wire fraud. 🚨 nypost.com/2026/10/16/us-new…
Shape the narrative. Craft the message.

I am proud to sign the @VP’s Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud.
Welfare programs are intended to serve truly need Americans only — not fraudsters. Indiana has done great work in recent years to combat waste, fraud, and abuse, but the fight is not over.
I encourage my colleagues to join me in signing this pledge.

Taxpayer-funded programs must ONLY serve law-abiding Americans, NOT illegal aliens or fraudsters.
I am proud to stand with @POTUS Trump, @VP Vance, and @WHFraudTF to fight fraud in ALL forms and protect the American people.

Sign the pledge below and join us in the War Against 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.

SIGNED! ✍️🇺🇸
@VP Vance’s Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud is a commonsense commitment, and I was glad to sign it.
CMS will continue working with the @WHFraudTF to protect Americans, safeguard their benefits, and save taxpayers billions of dollars.

A payment processor JPMorgan Chase bought in 2017 closed the accounts of merchants selling Trump-related merchandise, the OCC found. Other banks restricted services to businesses in oil and gas, coal mining, and firearms. ⬇️ cbsnews.com/news/debanking-t…
The OCC reviewed 100,000 complaints and found all 9 of the largest national banks it supervises had policies that factored customers’ political or religious views into account decisions. The review covered 2020 through September 2025. 👀 cbsnews.com/news/debanking-t…

Deceased and duplicate enrollees remaining on the rolls cost taxpayers BILLIONS.
How did the previous administration allow them to continue receiving coverage? Failure of oversight.
This Administration is committed to saving taxpayers billions and making America more affordable.
250 Medicaid providers in Florida are suspended or under payment restrictions. That’s the tool most states leave on the shelf — suspend payments while the investigation runs, instead of paying out and chasing the money later. ⬇️ sun-sentinel.com/2026/10/06/…
6 things Nebraska cash welfare can no longer buy: tattoos, vaping products, video games, theme park tickets, psychic services, and pornography. @TeamPillen just filed the amendment that blocks them. 🔗 thefga.org/press/fga-applaud…
Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration has made more than 400 provider site visits since January 2026 under @GovRonDeSantis. Stopping fraud isn’t a paperwork exercise — it’s showing up at the door. Other states should follow. 👇 sun-sentinel.com/2026/10/06/…
