Biggest welfare reform in U.S. history — and you probably haven’t heard the details.
Medicaid work requirements. Food stamp crackdowns. Fraud penalties.
Here’s what it does ⬇️
2/ In 1996, Clinton’s reform cut TANF rolls by 60% — about 8 million people — by requiring able-bodied adults to work.
But TANF was small compared to today’s welfare state.
Medicaid now covers 83 MILLION people.
Food stamps? 42 MILLION.
The 1996 reform barely touched them.
3/ Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” changes that.
➡ First-ever Medicaid work requirement
➡ Food stamp work rules expanded
➡ State fraud penalties for overpayments
➡ Medicaid expansion incentives rolled back
Impact: at least double the number leaving welfare vs. 1996.
🚨 Illegal immigrant population PLUNGES by 1.6 MILLION in 6 months 🚨
Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows the steepest drop EVER recorded — and it’s no coincidence.
Let’s break down what’s happening.
THREAD🧵👇
2/ Between January and July 2025, the total foreign-born population (legal + illegal) fell by 2.2 million — the largest six-month decline in American history.
The entire drop came from non-citizens.
Naturalized U.S. citizens? Slightly up.
Illegal aliens? Down big.
3/ Analysts estimate illegal immigrant numbers fell 10% — from 15.8 million to about 14.2 million.
That’s 1.6 million fewer illegals inside our borders in just half a year.
She’s never answered for it. She lived in luxury under it.
And now she’s a Socialist member of our Congress. 🧵
2/ Omar calls her father “an educator.”
In reality? Colonel Nur Mohamed Omar served under Somali dictator Siad Barre, whose regime the UN ranked among the worst human rights abusers in Africa.
3/ Barre fused Marxist-Leninism with Islamism, ruled for 20 years, and unleashed his Somali Revolutionary Socialist Party on rival clans — especially the Isaaq.
Slogan: “Social Justice.” Of course.
Reality: mass killings, mass graves. Of course.
🚨 TRUMP TO HOST FIRST SUMMIT WITH SOUTH KOREA’S NEW PRESIDENT 🚨
Aug. 25, Washington D.C. — Trump & Lee Jae Myung meet for the first time.
Agenda: Trade. Defense. Energy. Tech. North Korea.
The two countries just cut a huge trade deal. Now it gets serious.
THREAD🧵
2/ This isn’t just a courtesy call.
Lee took office in June after a snap election. He’s coming to Washington to lock in a future-oriented, comprehensive strategic alliance with Trump — in both economics and security.
3/ On the table:
• Critical minerals & semiconductor supply chains
• Shipbuilding & battery production, maybe even for the U.S. Navy
• $100B in U.S. energy sales to Korea
• Strengthening the U.S.–Korea combined deterrence against North Korea & China
Last week, confusion over tariffs sent gold prices to a record $3,534.
Traders feared gold tariffs would slam the bullion market.
But today, Trump ended the panic with 4 words:
“Gold will not be Tariffed!”
🧵👇
2/ The scare started when a U.S. Customs ruling suggested imported gold bars could face country-specific tariffs — up to 39% for Switzerland, the world’s refining hub.
That would have wrecked global gold supply chains overnight.
3/ The result?
📈 Gold futures hit $3,534.10, a record.
📈 Spot gold jumped above $3,390.
📈 The premium between U.S. futures & global prices exploded to $100+.
Markets feared the U.S. might break the gold trade.
