Dear John,

Celebrating American Strength

BIG Update

Our founding fathers made history by declaring independence from Britain. On Friday—Independence Day—we proudly celebrate 249 years since the famous declaration that established a nation of freedom and strength. 

In the heart of America, Mount Rushmore represents these core principles. I’m glad fireworks will return next year, lighting up the sky above the monument in celebration of 250 years of our great country.

As you spend time with family and friends this weekend, I wish you a safe and enjoyable 4th of July.

BIG Idea

I introduced the Protection of Women in Sports at Military Academies Act to prohibit biological men from competing in women’s sports at our nation’s military service academies. Riley Gaines agrees with me—the United States military service academies should set the example for fairness and integrity. Service academies should remain focused on military readiness—not radical gender policies.

BIG News

House and Senate Republicans worked hard to deliver real wins for the American people by getting the One Big Beautiful Bill to President Trump’s desk. Our bill prevents the largest tax increase for American families in U.S. history, secures our southern border, and is a meaningful step in getting government spending under control.

House Republicans strengthened welfare programs like SNAP and Medicaid to ensure the most needy will be able to receive these benefits for generations to come. One of the ways to preserve the integrity of the programs is by enforcing work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents.

There are many parts of the One Big Beautiful Bill that haven’t been making headlines. For example, it makes historic investments in our air traffic control system, boosts agricultural trade, supports American farmers, and unleashes domestic production of energy and critical minerals.

The One Big Beautiful Bill isn’t perfect, but it helps everyday Americans by putting in place no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, tax cuts for seniors, all while ensuring individuals and businesses don’t see a near 25% tax hike at the end of the year.
