The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
1. RFK Jr. to Eliminate 10,000 Jobs in Sweeping Federal Health Agency Overhaul
The cuts represent one of the largest reductions in federal health bureaucracy in decades.
Kennedy stated:
Over time, bureaucracies like HHS become wasteful and inefficient even when most of their staff are dedicated and competent civil servants.
Further:
This overhaul will be a win-win for taxpayers and for those that HHS serves. That’s the entire American public, because our goal is to Make America Healthy Again.
The massive restructuring includes cutting 3,500 positions at the Food and Drug Administration, 2,400 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 1,200 at the National Institutes of Health. These cuts come on top of about 10,000 recent voluntary departures, which will reduce the department’s full-time workforce from 82,000 to 62,000 employees.
Kennedy’s restructuring will reduce HHS regional offices from ten to five and consolidate its 28 divisions into just 15. Functions like communications, human resources, IT, and policy planning—previously scattered across multiple agencies—will now be centralized.
This restructuring provides a model for how other federal agencies might be reformed. By centralizing common functions and eliminating duplication, government can do more with less—exactly what taxpayers deserve.
2. White House Official Exposes Mexico Pollution Scheme, Vows to Clean Up American Waters
Millions of gallons of raw sewage from Tijuana have been flowing into San Diego County beaches, causing over 1,000 beach closures and creating what local officials call “one of the biggest environmental and public health crises” in the region.
From Fox News:
‘Mexico must fully honor its commitment to control their country’s growing pollution and sewage impacting the United States,’ Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin told Fox News Digital in a statement. ‘The time when excuses, delays or exceptions are tolerated is over.’
According to a recent Department of Defense Inspector General report, a shocking 76% of tests showed bacteria levels surpassing normal safety standards. Even more disturbing, over 1,100 cases of health issues—primarily gastrointestinal illnesses—were reported among America’s elite warriors. Navy SEAL trainees, who conduct essential training exercises in these contaminated waters off San Diego, have been suffering the consequences of Mexico’s negligence.
Rather than asking American taxpayers to foot the bill for Mexico’s irresponsibility, the White House is putting the responsibility where it belongs—with Mexico.
An EPA official made the administration’s position crystal clear:
Mexico needs to build and properly operate the infrastructure necessary to treat all the sewage generated by Tijuana. Current projects are not adequate and will still allow significant untreated sewage to be discharged into the ocean, impacting the U.S.
Mexico should be paying for their own wastewater collection, not U.S. taxpayer dollars.
The message from the Trump administration is refreshingly straightforward: The days of Mexico polluting American waters with impunity are over. The time for excuses has passed. Mexico must clean up its act—and pay for it themselves.
3. Trump Continues Tariff Agenda with 25% On Vehicles Made Outside U.S.A
The President’s actions cut right to the heart of America’s trade problem. Countries we consider allies have often been the worst offenders when it comes to unfair trade practices—their economic policies undermine American industries.
Trump explained:
What we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States. If they’re made in the United States, there’s absolutely no tariff.
It’s a straightforward policy with a simple message: build it here or pay the price.
Even before the official announcement South Korean automaker Hyundai committed to a massive $21 billion investment in the United States, including a new steel plant in Louisiana that will supply materials for auto parts and vehicle assembly plants in Alabama and Georgia.
Remember when Detroit was the automotive capital of the world? For too long, We the People have watched as that heritage eroded. American car companies struggled to compete against foreign imports that operated under different rules.
Trump’s tariff policy will put American manufacturing back in the driver’s seat. More importantly, foreign manufacturers now have a powerful financial incentive to build their factories here in the United States, creating jobs for American workers in places like Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Beyond the tariffs, President Trump has another ace up his sleeve which has not received nearly enough attention. He is calling on Congress to pass legislation that would make interest payments on loans for American-made vehicles tax deductible.
This isn’t just good for automakers—it’s a direct benefit to everyday Americans looking to buy a new car. If you choose an American-made vehicle, you could deduct the interest on your auto loan when you file your taxes. Take a typical Michigan family buying a $35,000 American-made Ford or Chevy on a five-year loan with 6% interest—they could save hundreds of dollars each year on their taxes, putting real money back in their pockets while supporting American jobs.
While the liberal elites are handwringing about “trade wars,” hardworking Americans understand what is at stake. This policy is about restoring American manufacturing prominence and ensuring our children and grandchildren have the same opportunities that built the great American middle class.
4. Dr. Oz Commits to Trump’s Anti-Trans Surgery Agenda in CMS Nomination
The Trump administration continues to assemble a team committed to reversing years of progressive policies.
One of the president’s latest nominees is Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was selected to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The celebrity doctor advanced out of the Senate Finance Committee by a narrow 14-13 vote earlier this month.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) raised significant concerns about Dr. Oz’s previous statements on controversial issues, however, the Dr. has declared his full opposition to transgender procedures for minors, aligning himself with President Trump’s agenda to protect children.
An Oz spokesman said on Tuesday evening:
Dr. Oz fully understands the harms caused to minors by such procedures and is committed to implementing President Donald J. Trump’s agenda of protecting children so they can grow to live out their God-given potential.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services plays a significant role in determining which procedures receive federal funding. Under Oz’s leadership, the agency could implement policies that prioritize child protection over ideological agendas.
This development comes as multiple states have enacted legislation to prohibit transgender procedures for minors. Federal alignment with these protective measures would strengthen the safety net for vulnerable children nationwide.
5. Trump Brokers Black Sea Ceasefire Agreement Between Russia and Ukraine
In a diplomatic breakthrough that shocked international observers, the Trump administration has successfully mediated separate agreements between Russia and Ukraine. The deals establish a ceasefire in the Black Sea and ban attacks on energy facilities—the most significant peace development since Russia’s invasion over three years ago.
The White House said in a statement:
The United States and Russia have agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea.
The agreements, brokered during talks in Saudi Arabia, came after President Trump personally engaged with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.
Both nations specifically requested American enforcement of the deals. This represents a significant victory for Trump’s diplomatic approach. Previous attempts at meaningful ceasefire arrangements had repeatedly failed.
The White House confirmed Trump’s commitment to “working toward achieving a durable and lasting peace.” Do not expect the colluding propaganda media to lead with that headline, though!
President Trump’s breakthrough follows his consistent tough stance with Ukrainian leadership. Last month, Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance confronted Zelensky directly in the Oval Office.
Trump’s achievement proves once again that American leadership matters on the world stage—especially when that leadership prioritizes American interests, speaks with clarity, and demands results instead of empty promises.
