At my Virginia polling place, I mentioned that you can vote with no ID. A Democrat in line said he would be very concerned with such a rule, and asked the poll worker if it was true. She said that’s false, you need an ID. Then it was my turn to vote, and I told the guy: I don’t e immediately be counted the same as everyone else? He said yeah. Just had me write my name on this form. Birthday and social can be left blank.

The future of American education will put students and parents above unions and bureaucrats, and prioritize academic excellence over dollars spent.
American education needs a hard reset.
We have poured over $3 Trillion into the federal education bureaucracy only to watch reading and math scores decline.
As we look to the next 250 years, the future of learning must come from states and local communities – not Washington.

Big thanks to President Trump for signing our License to Drill Act into law!
American energy producers already pay the fees that fund the processing of their drilling permits. The keeps that industry-funded system in place, giving the Bureau of Land Management the resources to process applications without unnecessary delays.
There’s much more work to do to fix our broken permitting system—we should pass BAAJA as soon as Congress is back in session—but this is another important step toward unleashing American energy and lowering the cost of living for American families.

SIGNED: My bill, the License to Drill Act, has officially been signed into law by @POTUS.
For Utah and communities across the country, this legislation will reduce permitting delays, strengthen American energy production, help improve energy affordability, and support the U.S. ing energy demand.
The future of American energy independence is bright.

Remember this? Well, I found one of the rightful owners of these ballots that showed up in my mailbox.
He told me how concerned he was that his ballot could have ended up in the wrong hands. "It’s concerning that anyone could just take that, theoretically, and vote in my place,” he told me.
"This is a pretty good example of how mail-in ballots can really be used to one party’s advantage, or one person’s advantage and to another person’s disadvantage."
Election Integrity expert @KenCuccinelli told me this is a "completely unsecured election."
“We need to return to in-person voting...The default should never be remote voting," @CletaMitchell told me.

President Trump has secured the border, and this caravan will be stopped.
Tragically, such caravans are often rife with human trafficking and horrific violence against women and children.
This is why I introduced the Stopping Border Surges Act, which would permanently close loopholes that allowed non-parents to claim an unrelated child as their own and let Joe Biden “lose” tens of thousands of children in our country. It would also remove incentives for parents to bring children with them on the hazardous journey to our borders.
For decades, media, politicians, and institutions tacitly encouraged such desperate attempts to march to the United States, only succeeding in increasing human misery at the expense of American border security.
Never again.

NEWS: 19 FORMER ECONOMIC AND NATIONAL SECURITY LEADERS ENDORSE THE BIPARTISAN PERMITTING REFORM BILL
Today, a group of former Cabinet members and White House principals across seven Democratic and Republican administrations sent a letter calling on Congress to pass BAAJA. Here anet YELLEN, Michael R. POMPEO, Steven T. MNUCHIN, Leon E. PANETTA, Timothy F. GEITHNER, Henry M. PAULSON, Jr., Robert E. RUBIN, Stephen MIRAN, Jared BERNSTEIN, Tyler GOODSPEED, Jason FURMAN, Glenn HUBBARD, Laura D’Andrea TYSON, Michael J. BOSKIN, Jeffrey ZIENTS, Jake SULLIVAN, Brian DEESE, Larry KUDLOW, Allan B. HUBBARD
Key highlights from the letter:
1. “We are not building infrastructure fast enough to remain globally competitive… The median time for a new power plant to move from an interconnection request to commercial operation has more than doubled, from less than two years for projects built between 2000 and 2007 to more than four years for projects built between 2018 and 2024.
2. China has built more high-voltage transmission in the last fifteen years than the U.S. has built in all of its history... In 2024, China accounted for 31.5% of global knowledge- and technology-intensive manufacturing value added, compared with 20.7% for the United States.
3. Federally funded or permitted projects require NEPA review, but private projects often do not, creating a threat of failure precisely where the government is trying to be proactive, strategic, and engaged.
4. A project that spends years awaiting approval must continue carrying development and financing costs while remaining exposed to rising input costs. The IEA reports that prices for utility-scale transformers increased 26% in 2024, while lead times for some transformers have stretched as long as six years.
5. Mining projects also face tremendous uncertainty: a 2026 study by researchers at the Colorado School of Mines found that permitting for modern mining projects takes an average of 5.5 years, rising to 8.9 years for contested projects. The U.S. currently has the second-longest mine development timeline in the world.
6. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is the most significant bipartisan legislative effort that Congress has undertaken in decades to tackle these challenges.
7. BAAJA addresses key constraints stifling American industry by requiring interregional transmission planning, strengthening the federal backstop for nationally significant transmission lines, and creating a faster, more predictable process for connecting new generation to the grid.
8. BAAJA also makes permits more durable by imposing tighter timelines for litigation and limiting frivolous lawsuits that can halt projects indefinitely, while preserving community input and judicial review of substantive agency decisions.”
The letter was organized by @arnabdatta321 on behalf of @IFP and covered exclusively by the WSJ this morning.

BREAKING: The Social Security Administration confirms to @FoxNews that it has just undertaken its largest cleanup of Social Security Numbers in the agency's 91-year history, correcting nearly 15% of all U.S. citizen SSNs (roughly 50 million out of 330 million). The changes illion dates of death to files that previously didn't have them w/ help from State Dept.
- With help from DHS, updating 25 million files that had missing citizenship information.
- Correcting an additional 8.5 million records with inaccurate citizenship data.
SSNs are referenced by agencies across the federal government and in states to validate identities and prevent improper payment of tax dollars.

If Lesley Stahl & @60Minutes wanted to restore an ounce of faith in news media, they would take more interest in cases like this one, which lead vast majorities of Americans to support Voter ID and proof of citizenship.
Keep up the great work, @HarmeetKDhillon.
