One big beautiful Independence Day weekend 🇺🇸💪

With @RepFedorchak & @NFIB members in Mandan, outlining how hundreds of thousands of North Dakotans are paying lower taxes today because of the Working Families Tax Cut Act. Our people are keeping more of their hard-earned money, have greater financial stability and can increase their standard of living, while our small businesses have more capital on hand to invest in the growth of their operations.

Thanks, Pete

🇺🇸 Farewell and thank you for the warmth of your welcome and the kind support you gave us throughout our first visit to the US as King and Queen, in this, your special anniversary year. We leave a piece of our ❤️ behind and take a little of yours back home with us. Until the next time… God Bless America. - Charles R. & Camilla R. 📷 @ChrisJack_Getty / Getty Images

ICYMI: In a new op-ed in the @dcexaminer, #NFIB Principal of Federal Government Relations, Louis Bertolotti, calls on Congress to suspend the federal fuel tax for #smallbusinesses impacted by rising fuel costs. Learn more here: nfib.com/news/press-rel…

Dem leadership called for “maximum warfare everywhere all the time” at their press conference this week.

We were there front and center. That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government. After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.

The dream of China surpassing the U.S. as the world’s largest economy is fading. In 2021, China’s GDP was about 78% of the U.S.; by 2024, that share had fallen to roughly 64%, back to around 2017 levels, with the gap between the two economies doubling in just a few years.

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy—especially here in the Hudson Valley. They create jobs, support families, and keep our communities strong. That’s why protecting tax relief matters. The Working Families Tax Cuts Act makes the 20% small business deduction permanent and allows businesses to immediately write off investments, giving them the flexibility to grow, hire, and reinvest locally. From family-owned restaurants in Nyack to contractors and small shops across Rockland and Westchester, these businesses power New York’s 17th District.
