Freedom Focus: America Stands with Israel

On Friday morning, the State of Israel sent a deafening message of resolve over the skies of Tehran that Iran will never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon . . . During our administration we made that clear . . . and I want to say emphatically that if the world knows nothing else, the world should know this: America stands with Israel.”

Part of Advancing American Freedom (AAF)’s unique position includes deep relationships with Members of Congress and their staff. This week, we hosted a networking reception with Congressional staff in Washington, D.C. As Congressional Republicans make more progress on the One Big Beautiful Bill, you make it possible for us to help Congress get conservative wins across the finish line and to President Trump’s desk.

America Stands with Israel

This week, the world witnessed an unmistakable message of resolve delivered from the skies over Tehran: Israel will never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon – and neither will the United States. AAF Founder Vice President Mike Pence joined CNN’s Dana Bash to make it clear that America must be prepared to act to ensure that Iran is never allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon:

Vice President Pence also joined Fox News’ Trey Gowdy to share why Israel’s strike on Iran was a necessary act and why he’s grateful for President Trump's strong affirmation of support for the action that Israel has taken. There can be no compromise on ensuring that the Iranian nuclear enrichment program is verifiably dismantled or destroyed. Tune in for the full episode here.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Must Pass

AAF praised the Senate’s efforts to advance the Trump tax cuts with the release of new text for the One Big Beautiful Bill. In a letter last week, AAF called on Republican Senators to swiftly refine and pass the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. As the text said:

In May, AAF launched a slate of ads urging Congress to pass President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill as part of its $10 million nationwide grassroots campaign to renew the Trump tax cuts. AAF’s ad campaign warns that if Congress fails to send the package to the president’s desk this year, American households will suffer a $2,100 tax increase on average.

Vice President Pence joined News Nation’s Chris Stirewalt to underscore the importance of passing the One Big Beautiful Bill:

“There’s no higher domestic priority . . . than ensuring that the American people aren’t faced with a nearly $5 trillion tax increase at the end of this year. If we don’t extend those Trump-Pence tax cuts, the average American family is going to see about a $2,000 increase in taxes.”

AAF Legal Builds Coalition on Tariff Case

AAF’s legal team is building a formidable coalition around their amicus brief on the cases challenging the constitutionality of the recently imposed tariffs. This week, AAF’s General Counsel Marc Wheat hosted a webinar in partnership with the Liberty Justice Center to discuss the case. Watch the full webinar here.

Rediscovering Order in an Age of Populism

AFF Board Member Dr. Ed Feulner and Vice President Pence published an article in American Enterprise Institute’s National Affairs magazine about the future of the conservative movement. They write,

“In rediscovering the wisdom of Russell Kirk, the conservative movement has an opportunity to reclaim its rightful place as the steward of the American experiment — the guardian of ordered liberty, the protector of American institutions, and the champion of the limitless opportunity that has always been the American birthright.”
