JD Vance

I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting. The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace. I've noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can't trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts. The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.

Usha and I had the opportunity to talk with the Artemis astronauts while they were up in space. Very cool that they joined Usha’s podcast! Give it a listen

Thank you VP @JDVance! You are 100% right: Minnesota officials are not above the law. The Trump administration is calling on the DOJ's Fraud Division to conduct a full criminal investigation into Governor Walz's failure to protect taxpayers. We won't stop here. @seanhannity

I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation. Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimated whistleblowers, they must face justice.

Charlie Kirk had a profound impact on me. Both during his life and, as I discuss in this excerpt from my new book, after his death. This was hard to write about but I hope you'll find it meaningful. wsj.com/lifestyle/rela…

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it. Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse. It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is putting every state on notice in a massive crackdown on Medicaid fraud. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson just announced that Hawaii has been officially decertified for failing to enforce the law and address the fraud problem plaguing the state. "Everyone is on notice. And today, Hawaii is being decertified for its abject failure to enforce state and federal law to prohibit fraud."

Fraudsters stole your tax dollars to buy exotic and luxury cars - but now, time’s up. Proud of our task force for all of the work being done to hold criminals accountable.

Hawaii state officials stole around $12M from you. The money was supposed to be used to prosecute fraudsters, but they didn’t indict a single person in 4 years. The Trump Administration will not sit back and do nothing when states waste your tax-dollars. Other states should take note. More coming soon.

If the fraud rate is really as low as Democrats claim, why are they fighting so hard to hide the data? Why not just work with USDA to audit and validate where the money is going? Their resistance to us going after fraud is part of why these programs ballooned in the first place.

Bill is a great guy who recognizes that the bureaucracy of the intel community must respond to the elected leadership (rather than the other way around). He'll do great!

Luxury cars, mansions, and rare collectables - that's what fraudsters are buying with your tax dollars. It's disgusting, and we are fighting every day to end fraud like this once and for all.

Good luck today to my friend Steve Hilton, who is running to become the next governor of California. He's a good guy and I encourage everyone to get out there and support him. California is such a beautiful state--it just needs better political leadership!

Usha's Summer Reading Challenge was a hit last year, and I'm so proud of her. Summer Reading is back again this year, so be sure to check it out!

One of the problems we have in public policy is that wonks don’t give any consideration to how their ideas will collide with actual human behavior. Take our Trump Accounts. There are millions of parents who will in theory benefit enormously from this investment in their kids’ future, but the policy does no good if parents never find out how to sign up for it. From day one of our administration we’ve tried to think outside the box on problems like this. That’s why Elon recruited the best and brightest engineers and designers to help us make government more efficient. Some of those same exceptional design and software talents, under @jgebbia’s leadership, have been working for months at National Design Studio on a different problem: making government programs like the Trump Accounts more user friendly. With the Trump Accounts we’ve met people where they are. Instead of expecting them to navigate a ton of complicated forms on Treasury.gov, we’ve built out a simple, easy-to-use app to sign parents up. The app helps us market the program and sign up users, and deploying it this early does something else: it gives our engineers a pilot program to test out Treasury’s digital back-end systems and iron out kinks in advance of the delivery of the funds later this summer. So, parents, sign up now, and help us invest in your kids for tomorrow. Because great policy only works when people can actually use it. That is the power of design. When government is easier to understand, easier to navigate, and easier to trust, people benefit. The American experience should be as great as the American promise.

Note to self: wear air jordans next time I'm at the Air Force academy

Today’s warfighters have a great moral responsibility in navigating a battlefield that’s new to us all: a battlefield with AI. We must not outsource matters of life and death to machines.

When politicians allow fraud to run rampant, normal Americans suffer.

On this Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country. We are forever grateful.
