Over the past week, the Democrats’s outrage over spending cuts proves exactly why America is nearly $37 trillion in debt.

Americans are sick and tired of funding the global DEI agenda and Elon Musk is putting an end to it. In the process, this will save taxpayers billions.

Those that scream the loudest are the most complicit in the crime. If half of what is being reported is true, the size of the malfeasance and corruption is something we haven’t seen in the history of the United States. 

Where is the proof? Where are the audit reports ? And I don't mean a tweet with some BS spin on it. We absolutely should reel in spending...we absolutely should know exactly where our taxes go. But this approach is reckless (and illegal). People you represent, Mr Smith, will be harmed by this and you cheer.

I notice all the comments are Liberals. Give it up. You lost. Let the Patriots have a chance before you complain.

Trump’s trade policies are not well thought out and are dangerous to our economy. Rep Smith, who represents one of the poorest districts in America.

Great job!!! He has accomplished more in a few weeks, than the last guy did in 4 years!! And he has already held more press conferences and answered more (adhoc) questions and given transparency, than the last 4 years!!!

Thank you for keeping us informed.👍

When it comes to America’s trade relationships, we must look at every avenue – including reciprocity – to ensure that U.S. interests are treated fairly.

President Trump and congressional Republicans are working tirelessly to restore American leadership by standing up for working families, farmers, and small businesses here at home and in markets around the world.

Why wouldn't you step across the aisle and try to work with your peers?

You are nothing but a tool for a disgraceful administration!

President Trump understands that American workers and manufacturers can outcompete those of any other nation.

But for far too long they have been held back by a lack of reciprocity because other countries impose much higher tariffs and other barriers than the United States imposes on imports.

President Trump’s Executive Order helps deliver a level playing field for American workers and manufacturers.

We cannot compete with foreign countries because they don’t have the labor laws and rules that we do. They can make it so cheap that even the shipping cost doesn’t make it more expensive.

It will bring businesses back.

So you're raising my taxes.

Today, the House passed a bill to protect our nation’s border patrol and law enforcement officers.

The Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act imposes more severe penalties on illegal aliens who flee or harm border patrol and law enforcement officers.

House Republicans are taking action to defend those working to secure our border.

It's funny that out of all these terrible picks, Matt Gaetz was the only one that got blocked. They must just really hate Matt Gaetz.

Praise the Lord!!

Sad, Sad, Sad day. Another goofball picked by Trump to run an important agency. America will regret this appointment.
