June 12th, 2025

Good morning, patriots! Elon Musk admits he “went too far” with his past jabs at Trump—and just like that, the feud is over. Two of the most influential voices in business and politics are back on the same page. With Musk rejoining the America First camp, the path to 2026 just got a major jolt of momentum.

Trump’s Tariffs Deliver Big Win for U.S.

What happened: President Trump announced a new trade truce with China, restoring key terms of his original 2019 agreement. As part of the deal, U.S. tariffs of up to 55% remain in place, forcing Chinese companies to play fair—or pay up. Meanwhile, GM pledged $4 billion to move production from Mexico back to the U.S., citing the tariff landscape as a deciding factor.

Why it matters: For years, globalists warned that tariffs would backfire. But the numbers say otherwise: U.S. customs revenue is up, the monthly deficit just dropped to $316 billion, and American manufacturers are reinvesting in U.S. jobs. Even legacy automakers are scrambling to dodge penalties by reshoring production—a win for workers and national security.

What’s next: Expect more companies to follow GM’s lead. With the appeals court upholding Trump’s tariffs, the pressure is on foreign firms to adapt or get out of the way. Trump has also signaled further action if China fails to comply with export controls and tech transparency measures.

Bottom line: Trump’s America First trade strategy isn’t just tough—it’s working. The tariffs are bringing jobs home, boosting revenue, and forcing adversaries to respect U.S. strength.

House Moves to Block Noncitizen Voting

What happened: The House passed Rep. August Pfluger’s (R-TX) bill to block noncitizen voting in Washington, D.C.’s local elections. The bill comes in response to a 2022 D.C. law that allows noncitizens—including illegal immigrants and foreign nationals—to vote in local races. Shockingly, 148 Democrats voted to preserve the policy, brushing aside GOP concerns about voter integrity and national security.

Why it matters: Allowing noncitizens to vote—even in local elections—sets a dangerous precedent. Critics warn it creates confusion, weakens citizenship, and risks foreign agents influencing the democratic process. With federal elections often sharing ballots or machines, the potential for administrative error or abuse skyrockets.

What’s next: The bill heads to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain. But the message is clear: Democrats are playing with fire by opening the door to noncitizen voting in the capital of the United States.

Bottom line: This isn’t just about D.C.—it’s about whether America still believes that citizenship should mean something.
