MILLIONS BREAK CHAINS OF DEPENDENCY, SNAP PLUNGES TO LOWEST SINCE 2020
Since its inception, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance or SNAP program — commonly known as “food stamps” — has all too often drifted from its original purpose. Instead of offering a temporary hand up, it has turned into a handout that threatens to trap Americans in a vicious cycle of government dependence.
From Day One, the Trump administration has been tirelessly fighting to reform this broke program so that it serves families who need it most, and our efforts are paying off.
SNAP is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and our new data show that the program has 3.3 million fewer participants today than it did when President Trump returned to office in January 2025.
Millions of Americans are breaking free from the grip of welfare as new SNAP data reveals a stunning drop of 3.3 million participants since President Trump took office in 2025, plunging numbers below 40 million for the first time in years. Fueled by Trump's tax cuts and deregulation, the private sector is booming with over 600,000 jobs added—shifting Americans from government dependence to financial independence. Yet beneath the surface, the program’s systemic fraud and waste remain shocking, with nearly 200,000 dead recipients and hundreds of thousands of duplicate enrollments exposed in 28 states. In response, Trump’s latest executive order has launched a crackdown task force led by VP JD Vance, promising ruthless accountability while keeping SNAP alive for America’s truly vulnerable. The era of handouts is ending, and the era of hard work and transparency is just beginning.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
