April 30, 2025, will mark the 100^th day of President Donald J. Trump’s new administration, and what an incredible record of accomplishment he and the Republican majority in Congress have already achieved. President Trump said in his Inaugural Address that he would waste no time in ushering in a new Golden Age for America, and on virtually every issue that matters to Missouri’s working families, small businesses, and farmers, the President has delivered, and our Republican Majority is working to make these great policies permanent.

First and foremost, President Trump promised to end the crisis at our Southern Border. On Day One of his administration, he issued numerous executive orders to restore the Remain in Mexico policy and end Catch and Release. He promised the largest deportation operation in American history, and he is seeing it through.

The results speak for themselves: illegal migrant crossings dropped to their lowest level in more than 25 years in February and fell still further in March. To help the President in his fight, I was proud to support the Laken Riley Act – which the president signed into law – that makes it easier to deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.

The President promised to fight back against foreign drug cartels and gangs that have been terrorizing our streets and flooding our nation with deadly fentanyl. He accomplished this by having his administration designate eight Latin American drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” and use the Alien Enemies Act – a law passed in 1798 – to speed up deportations of gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. He negotiated with El Salvador’s government to take back dangerous criminals into their supermax prison, CECOT – which I had the opportunity to visit earlier this month. One criminal being held at CECOT talked openly about the murders he committed while he was in the United States. This is who President Trump is protecting us from.

The President promised he would onshore jobs back into the United States, and so far he has more than delivered on that promise. Over $7 trillion in new investments has flowed onshore since January 20, due in large part to the deregulation agenda the President has pursued. President Trump signed an executive order on Day One requiring that ten regulations be repealed for every one new regulation his administration puts forward. After nearly $1.7 trillion in new costs were added by the Biden Administration, American businesses are finally being encouraged to make things in the United States again.

One thing a lot of Missourians I talk to are grateful for is the President rooting out wokeness and DEI in the federal government. The President has now signed executive orders that end programs that required federal agencies to hire based solely on racial and gender criteria and instead now direct the government to once again hire based on merit. We want the best military anywhere in the world, so the President’s executive order ending DEI in the military and ending transgender service ensure our military is not a social experiment, but an exercise in creating the most lethal force anywhere in the world. The President also protected our children from radical gender ideology by preventing federal funding from going to schools that promote gender transition or inappropriate sexual content.

This is a small sampling of what President Trump has done, but it has been so impactful on the lives of Missouri families and small businesses. The President likes to say he doesn’t want to wait to deliver results for the American people. I’m doing everything I can in Washington to support him and will work in Congress to make his agenda permanent by passing one big, beautiful bill into law to advance our nation’s economic prosperity, energy dominance, and national security. Working together, we are truly on the cusp of a Golden Age for America.
