The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
(NOTE: Relax! We the People may not have even thought of some of this stuff, but the Trump-Vance ‘A’ team is already on top of it.)
1. Trump: US Steel to Remain in USA, Partner with Nippon
U.S. Steel will keep its headquarters in Pittsburgh as part of what President Trump called a “planned partnership” that seemed to signal he will approve a bid by Japan-based Nippon Steel to make a big investment in the iconic American steelmaker.
The president suggested Nippon Steel would invest in U.S. Steel, not buy it, and one union official suggested Friday the federal government will have a role in the company’s management going forward. But investors seemed to take Trump’s statement as a sign that he is approving some sort of merger, sharply pushing up U.S. Steel’s shares, and the companies issued approving statements.
Nippon Steel said the partnership is a “game changer—for U.S. Steel and all of its stakeholders, including the American steel industry, and the broader American manufacturing base.” U.S. Steel said it “will remain American, and we will grow bigger and stronger through a partnership with Nippon Steel that brings massive investment, new technologies, and thousands of jobs over the next four years.”
Nippon Steel’s nearly $15 billion bid to buy U.S. Steel was blocked by Joe Biden.
In his statement Friday, Trump said:
[A]fter much consideration and negotiation, US Steel will REMAIN in America, and keep its Headquarters in the Great City of Pittsburgh.
What Trump called a “planned partnership” will add $14 billion to the U.S. economy, he said, although it was not clear what the terms of the deal would be or who would control U.S. Steel under the arrangement. Neither company explained Friday how the partnership would be structured.
2. Trump Admin Cleans House at National Security Council
President Trump’s second administration has involved shaking up Washington, D.C., by way of firing unloyal employees across various departments. While it is unclear how many NSC staffers (the estimate is 100) were let go Friday, among those reportedly dismissed were both career officials and political appointees.
The Washington Post reported:
The new cuts come after Secretary of State Marco Rubio took over as acting National Security Advisor, having replaced former advisor Mike Waltz.
In May, the president announced his nomination of Waltz to be his Ambassador to the United Nations, following reports the former advisor would be stepping down from his position at the NSC.
Prior to Waltz’s departure, Trump had fired several staffers from the NSC in April. The firings notably came after activist Laura Loomer visited the White House and presented the president with research on members of the NSC who were not loyal to Trump.
3. SecDef Hegseth Has Instituted New Security Measures for Reporters at the Pentagon
Defense Secretary Hegseth is forbidding reporters access to much of the Pentagon unless they have approval and an official escort, and he will be issuing new credentials which will “more prominently identify them as members of the press.” This is all an effort to protect classified intelligence and sensitive information.
Hegseth is also implementing a new rotation system that will bring newer media organizations like Breitbart and The Daily Caller into the Pentagon press office space, forcing garbage media organizations out of these spaces.
Obviously, the Pentagon press association has claimed these new security measures are an ‘attack on freedom of the press.’
The measures, which took effect immediately, bar credentialed reporters from most of the Department of Defense headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, unless they have an official approval and escort.
Hegseth said in a memorandum.
While the Department remains committed to transparency, the Department is equally obligated to protect CSNI (classified intelligence) and sensitive information—the unauthorized disclosure of which could put the lives of U.S. Service members in danger.
Further:
We also anticipate a forthcoming announcement of additional security measures and enhanced scrutiny on the issuance of credentials.
Secretary Hegseth called the protection of classified national intelligence information and operational security “an unwavering imperative for the Department.”
4. President Trump: Dramatic Rise in Autism Cannot Be Natural, Media FREAKS Out “Bonkers Theory!”
The president said there has been a jump from 1 in 10,000 having autism to 1 in 31 is “terrible.” He insisted the spike has to be artificially induced, not a natural phenomenon.
🚨 TRUMP: “It was 1-in-10,000 and now it's 1-in-31 for autism. I think that's just a terrible thing. It has to be something on the outside, has to be artificially induced. Has to be.”

Let’s put it in perspective. Say your worst employee made 1 sale for every 10,000 sales pitches last year. But now he is closing a deal every 31 pitches. I’d say something happened. (Probably listened to some Grant Cardone audiobooks).
This is not something to just shrug off, which the media and the medical industry does regarding these autism cases.
Trump noted the administration is phasing out eight of the most common artificial food dyes, after the Food and Drug Administration announced actions last month to phase out the use of petroleum-based food dyes in U.S. food products, citing concerns over potential health impacts on children.
“Dangerous conspiracy theory!” the media headlines are screaming. It’s “bonkers!”
We the People wonder why the propaganda media (that gets plenty from Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies) would be upset?
5. Trump Has Paved Way for States to Verify Voters’ Citizenship Status: ‘Stop Aliens from Hijacking Our Elections’
New changes to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program will allow states to confirm immigration status using Social Security numbers. This would replace the use of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identifying number, which most state and local agencies do not collect.
SAVE is the federal government’s system for looking up immigration and citizenship status. The system is administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It is used by federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal agencies to verify eligibility for certain public benefits and licenses, including driver’s licenses and voter eligibility.
Under Trump, the DHS is working with USCIS and DOGE to optimize the SAVE system and ensure a “single, reliable source for verifying immigration status and U.S. citizenship nationwide.”
USCIS Spokesman Matthew Tragesser said:
For years, states have pleaded for tools to help identify and stop aliens from hijacking our election.
Further:
Under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, USCIS is moving quickly to eliminate voter fraud.
And:
We expect further improvements soon and remain committed to restoring trust in American elections.
Without reliable ways of tracking non-citizens, it is difficult to have confidence in the integrity of elections.
The Left, of course, claims new restrictions will cause eligible voters to be disenfranchised. They have dismissed non-citizen voting as a negligible problem and oppose efforts to stop it from happening.
SAVE requires proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, and improvements to USCIS’s SAVE system will help states maintain accurate voter rolls.
However, the only way to fully protect elections is to enhance voting requirements through Congress.
