This fan caught a baseball and gave it to the Kid in front of him not Knowing What would happen next.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

In order to be a government of, by, and for the people, the government must run efficiently and responsibly. This is exactly what we are doing here in Louisiana!

Nearly a billion dollars found in savings and efficiencies thanks to our Fiscal Responsibility team. The work doesn’t stop here. We must continue our fight to rid the government of fraud, waste, and abuse!

While Governor Tim Walz presided over $9 billion lost to fraud in Minnesota, here in Louisiana we chose accountability and results. Under my Fiscal Responsibility Program, we’ve saved nearly $1 billion in taxpayer dollars, without cutting services. That’s real leadership.

@j_bambrick And the Sec of State, @marcorubio sharing the Gospel in 90 seconds, flawlessly.

.@ALLYCE_TRAPP is a proud two-time LSU grad, so to see Tiger Stadium lit up for her the night before the opener… man. Thank you, LSU, for the support during a difficult time. Our family will always cherish this image.

Today, George W. Bush sent a message and the Crescent City Connection is bathed in yellow. All for @ALLYCE_TRAPP. I’m amazed by what our friends are doing to honor her. And so grateful 💛

Thinking of our dear friend. 💛

Let’s pack Fenway!!

🚨 JUST IN: Now SMUCKER’S has announced they’re removing artificial colors and dyes from their foods The MAHA movement is spreading at a MINDBLOWING rate. This comes just days after Nestle, Kraft Heinz, AND General Mills all made the same announcement. WINNING! 🔥

Eric Adams hits the nail on its head: “This is a city NOT of socialism. I have been to socialist countries. There is no dignity in someone giving you everything for free. There is dignity in giving you a job so you can provide for your family.”

For the first time in Louisiana history, state spending is trending downward — while core services remain in tact #lalege

I'm proud to be a part of the big reforms we've enacted since the November special session. #lalege

IT'S AN LSU THING 💍

We carry the Battle Standard to represent the 142 midshipmen lost during WWII. Fact is we still send our Mids into areas of conflict during Sea Year, below is a picture from rising 1/C DB Caleb Green & 1/C DL Stephen Scroggins off the coast of Iran today.

The tragic events in Minnesota have no place in American politics. Join me in praying for the families affected and asking God to protect those who serve in public office and restore a spirit of peace in this country. #lalege (cont'd 1/2)

HB 264 PASSES! Louisiana lawmakers have unanimously approved House Bill 264, a major PBM reform requiring full transparency on rebates and ensuring savings go directly to patients or their employers. This marks a huge win for healthcare fairness and affordability! #PBMReform #LAleg
