President Trump's welfare reforms could move at least 10 million people from welfare to work — even more than the historic 1996 reform achieved.
But some states are already trying to claw the wins back!
FGA CEO @TarrenBragdon's latest for @FoxNewsOpinion. 🔗 BELOW.

The Trump administration is wise to make nutrition a bigger part of food stamps, and states are wise to take them up on the offer, writes @PolicyWithPaige.

Stopping fraud is a top priority for the Trump Administration.
Every dollar we take back from fraudsters is a dollar that can go to caring for America's seniors.
Taxpayers buy the soda, then taxpayers pay the diabetes bill. 72% of food stamp enrollees are also on government health insurance, mostly Medicaid. 16 states are moving to stop junk food with food stamps, 4 of them on November 1, 2026. FGA’s @PolicyWithPaige in @WSJopinion. 🔗 wsj.com/opinion/free-express…
4 more states — Virginia, Montana, North Dakota, and South Carolina — start restricting junk food in food stamps on November 1, 2026, bringing the total to 16. Red, blue, and purple states agree on this one. FGA’s @PolicyWithPaige in @WSJ.

New Jersey found 6,600 noncitizens on its voter rolls in 2026 — about 400 of them cast ballots. Federal law has let noncitizens register to vote at most welfare agencies since 1993. FGA’s Michael Greibrok in @NRO. 🔗 nationalreview.com/2026/10/n…
Food stamp households spent an estimated $21 billion on junk food in fiscal year 2025 — nearly twice the $11 billion they spent on fruits and vegetables. States are restoring the program to its purpose. New FGA research from @PolicyWithPaige. 🧵 + LINK. thefga.org/research/food-sta…
USDA has approved junk food restriction waivers for 23 states as of July 2026. Every other state should apply. Removing sugary drinks nationwide would save $800 million a year in health care costs and prevent roughly 33,000 new type 2 diabetes cases after 10 years. ⬇️

There are zero excuses for healthcare not being transparent.
That’s why the Trump Administration has been working around the clock to make price transparency and affordability key priorities in our healthcare system.
Here's the loophole: a noncitizen applying for welfare is asked if they want to register to vote. The welfare application gets an eligibility check. The voter registration never gets checked against citizenship records.

Skimmers stole more than $360 million in food stamp benefits between October 2022 and December 2024 — all on Biden's watch. The Trump admin has now proposed chip and tap-enabled EBT cards to shut them down. 🔗 fna.usda.gov/snap/fr-102326

The days of Quality Learing Centers are over.
The Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program is here, report corruption and the theft of taxpayer dollars 📲 FRAUD.GOV

🚨 Here is the full 33 minutes from inside yesterdays historic White House fraud announcement: For the first time ever there is an incentive for everyday citizens to expose fraud. Prior it could take years and many attorneys to be able to claim the money exposed from fraudsters now you can receive the funds much faster.
Now you can claim 1% of the fraud that you expose. For example, if you expose $100 million you receive $1 million, if you expose $1 billion you receive $10 million. Plain and simple.
The tables have completely turned on the fraudsters, now they have nowhere to hide if someone knows they are committing fraud and wants to report them and receive cash they can now do so 💰 good luck learers 💀
For far too long fraudsters were able to use your tax dollars as an infinite piggy bank to enrich themselves as you pay for their luxurious lifestyles. Now YOU can report and stop the fraud and be rewarded.
START LOOKING. EXPOSE IT ALL.

This story shows how broken the welfare system is.
Bureaucrats approved 350 fraudulent applications he filed using stolen identities. No identity checks. $4.6M to his EBT cards.
Biden then approved him as an “authorized retailer,” letting him swipe his own fraudulent EBT cards.
FRAUDSTERS BUSTED: Meet “SHAWTY DRED,” accused of swiping $4.4 MILLION in STOLEN FOOD STAMPS.
“I spent $500K on a ROLLS-ROYCE. $1.3 MILLION on this HOUSE.”
His MANSION TOUR? “Look at my steps, though. I’m not playing.” 🤯💸
Trump’s FRAUD WHISTLEBLOWER PROGRAM: See Something. Say Something. GET PAID. 💰

If this weren’t bad enough, when the Trump administration busted him and seized the fraudulent EBT cards, state bureaucrats just sent him replacements.
🚨 220,000 Americans could have eaten for the entire month of October with the $42 million in food stamp fraud, the Trump administration announced. Prosecutors have indicted more than 40 defendants across 13 districts in 7 weeks. 🚨 nypost.com/2026/10/21/us-new…
The Solution: An analysis of more than 10,000 households requesting excessive replacement EBT cards found 73% showed suspicious activity. States should cap replacement cards, add photos, enable a card freeze, and block out-of-state transactions by default. ⬇️ thefga.org/research/to-tackl…
