Good morning, patriots! This might be Trump’s sweetest deal yet—literally. Trump posted on Truth Social yesterday that Coca-Cola has agreed to start using real cane sugar in its U.S. products. “It’s just better!” he wrote, calling it a win for American taste buds and American farmers. If confirmed, it would mark a major shift for one of America’s most iconic brands—and a rare win for consumers over processed food giants.

Trump’s NPR & PBS Defunding Plan Advances

Trump made this promise—and now he’s one step closer to delivering on it. Despite a GOP split, the Senate advanced President Trump’s plan to slash $9.4 billion in foreign aid and defund NPR and PBS, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote after three Republican senators broke ranks.

Senators Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell sided with Democrats, creating a 50–50 deadlock in the Appropriations Committee. Vance’s vote pushes the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) rescissions package into full Senate debate.

The Trump administration has made this bill a top fiscal priority, framing it as a stand against bloated bureaucracy and woke media propaganda. If passed, it would set a precedent for future rescissions, giving Trump the tools to dismantle entrenched spending programs and reroute funds toward American priorities.

Conservative media erupted after the vote, especially after pundit Ann Coulter slammed the dissenters: “Three Republicans opposed the bill, all women: Sens Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell.” The message from MAGA is clear—oppose America First cuts, and face the political consequences.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY

Cops and Subway Boss Charged in Visa Scam

This is wild. A federal grand jury just indicted a group of current and former Louisiana law enforcement officers—plus a Subway sandwich shop owner—for allegedly running a decade-long fraud scheme that exploited U.S. immigration laws. According to the indictment, they’re accused of falsifying police reports to help foreign nationals obtain U visas, which are meant for crime victims who assist law enforcement.

But here’s the kicker: these weren’t real crimes. Prosecutors say the Subway operator, Chandrakant “Lala” Patel, paid $5,000 per report to crooked cops who fabricated bogus cases, helping at least 24 individuals game the system. Among the charged are three police chiefs, a town marshal, and the former chief of Glenmora, all allegedly complicit in selling out the rule of law for cash.

U visas are capped by law—so every fraudulent approval potentially blocks a legitimate victim from staying in the U.S. This isn’t just corruption—it’s weaponized law enforcement used to manipulate our immigration system and profit off American generosity.

The Biden DOJ says it’s cracking down, but let’s not ignore the obvious: this kind of fraud doesn’t thrive in a vacuum. It thrives in a system so bloated and broken that a sandwich shop owner can buy citizenship for his buddies while real victims wait in line.
