JD Vance
The President has been clear from day one: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Once again, President Trump's efforts to establish peace have paid off for the American people, despite countless attempts to thwart it by people who hate America and President Trump.
After many years grappling with the meaning of religion in my life, I’ve collected some of my reflections on the journey in a book, Communion, which is available in stores tomorrow. You can order it now at the link below: https://t.co/c2jN8jSNCD
Thanks to President Trump's unwavering resolve and the efforts of his entire administration, Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon and the Strait of Hormuz will be fully reopened. Peace and prosperity for the American people, that's what this deal is all about.
Happy Birthday to the GOAT. Looking forward to celebrating later today at the UFC fight!
Happy Anniversary to our lovely Second Lady. 12 years and almost 4 kids later, and we're still going strong. Love you Usha!
I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting. The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns…
3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF! Meet the Artemis II astronauts and hear them read two exciting stories about space on the newest episode of Storytime with the Second Lady. 🌖🚀 @NASA @NASAArtemis
Usha and I had the opportunity to talk with the Artemis astronauts while they were up in space. Very cool that they joined Usha’s podcast! Give it a listen
BREAKING: We just released a BOMBSHELL report exposing how Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison fueled Minnesota's fraud explosion. $9 billion in Medicaid lost. $300 million in federal child nutrition funds were placed at serious risk. Read the report and key takeaways 👇🏻
I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation. Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimated whistleblowers, they must face justice.
Charlie Kirk had a profound impact on me. Both during his life and, as I discuss in this excerpt from my new book, after his death. This was hard to write about but I hope you'll find it meaningful.
In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed. In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights. It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had…
Fraudsters stole your tax dollars to buy exotic and luxury cars - but now, time’s up. Proud of our task force for all of the work being done to hold criminals accountable.
Nice to finally have an Administration committed to ending fraud across the government 💪
Hawaii state officials stole around $12M from you. The money was supposed to be used to prosecute fraudsters, but they didn’t indict a single person in 4 years. The Trump Administration will not sit back and do nothing when states waste your tax-dollars. Other states should take note. More coming soon.
.@USDA has NEVER had access to State SNAP data. Not until this Administration demanded it. That’s why every figure from years past is meaningless. From the 29 states that DID share data, we’ve already identified at least $3 billion a year in fraud. Extrapolated nationwide: more than $10 billion. This isn’t “erroneous payments.” This is FRAUD — and yes, @RepAngieCraig, I know the difference. Do you?
If the fraud rate is really as low as Democrats claim, why are they fighting so hard to hide the data? Why not just work with USDA to audit and validate where the money is going? Their resistance to us going after fraud is part of why these programs ballooned in the first place.
Bill is a great guy who recognizes that the bureaucracy of the intel community must respond to the elected leadership (rather than the other way around). He'll do great!
An 8 bedroom mansion, game-worn Kobe Bryant sneakers, original Mickey Mantle Yankees cards — all purchased with your tax dollars. "He was living like a king off of us." The Trump Administration's war on fraud couldn't be more necessary.
Luxury cars, mansions, and rare collectables - that's what fraudsters are buying with your tax dollars. It's disgusting, and we are fighting every day to end fraud like this once and for all.
Good luck today to my friend Steve Hilton, who is running to become the next governor of California. He's a good guy and I encourage everyone to get out there and support him. California is such a beautiful state--it just needs better political leadership!

There are millions of parents who will in theory benefit enormously from this investment in their kids’ future, but the policy does no good if…
Epic moment JD Vance chest bumps an airman at the Air Force Academy graduation today 🤣
Note to self: wear air jordans next time I'm at the Air Force academy
Today’s warfighters have a great moral responsibility in navigating a battlefield that’s new to us all: a battlefield with AI. We must not outsource matters of life and death to machines.
On this Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country. We are forever grateful.
Tulsi is a patriot, a great asset to the administration, and a dear friend. I'm sorry to see her go, but certainly understand that family comes first. She and her husband Abraham will be in my prayers as they face this next challenge together, and she has my gratitude for being a great addition to the administration…
I had the opportunity to meet Kyle, one of NASCAR’s greatest racers, on the campaign trail in 2024. Usha and I are praying for him and his family. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
Today, the task force and the DOJ announced a massive take down of two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota state history, as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged by the federal government. Our message is simple: if you’re committing fraud, we will find you, and we won’t rest until justice…
President Trump is keeping his promise to the people of East Palestine. The Trump Administration will never forget you. Our message to Congress is clear: pass the Railway Safety Act.
Billions of dollars of fraud already uncovered and we're just getting started. More to come.
The good people of Maine are fired up and ready to stop the fraudsters. Great event with my friend @MainePaulLePage.
National Police Week is a time to celebrate the brave men and women who keep our communities safe, but it also serves as a solemn reminder of the incredible sacrifices made every day when our police officers put on their uniforms. I mentioned these individuals in my address at the Capitol, but I wanted to give those…
.@POTUS on his state visit to China: "We have a relationship, he and I, and we've been working together a long time. We've gotten along well. When I first came here, China was really taking advantage of the United States—he understands that—and now, we do great with China."
There’s a reason President Trump is respected by world leaders, and it’s because he’s consistently shown a level of strength that we haven’t seen from our Commander in Chief in modern history.
From the Bilateral Meeting in Beijing: President Trump had a good meeting with President Xi of China.
Every American should be proud of President Trump’s historic and consequential trip to China. Glad we finally have a leader who fights for American interests across the globe.
Alongside aggressive prosecution, the Task Force is preventing fraud before taxpayer money leaves the federal government. Agencies will now pay only when they are confident that a payment is legitimate and lawful. As a result, Trump administration agencies are now establishing fraud indicators and analyzing data to…
It’s been almost two months since President Trump took the bold step of officially forming the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. We’ve already uncovered tens of billions of dollars in defrauded taxpayer money, prosecuted dozens of fraudsters, and stopped billions in suspicious payments. And we’re just getting…
Today is the day.
Follow @WHFraudTF for all of our work in rooting out all fraud, no matter how big or how small
Under President Trump, we are unleashing the most aggressive federal anti-fraud efforts in American history. We won't rest until we root out every bit of fraud infecting our government and screwing over taxpayers. More coming tomorrow. Stay tuned.
ICE just dropped a major fraud bombshell involving 10,000 foreign students “who claim to be working for highly suspect employers” as part of the federal government’s Operational Practical Training program. Here’s what they found… -Empty buildings and locked doors where hundreds of foreign students are supposed to be working -Multiple employers claiming the same address, where none of them actually have a lease -Small homes listed as worksites for hundreds of foreign students, where no employees are present. And when someone answers the door, they claim to have no knowledge of the business. -Some of the employers claim to have offshore HR personnel -Employers having tax liens, civil law suit collections and breaches of contract
Another great win for our fraud task force. We will not tolerate foreign nationals abusing our visa system at the expense of the American people.
Coach Cignetti and the next generation’s Mendoza brothers gearing up for their weight room sessions this summer. Congratulations to Curt, but I gotta say it, Go Buckeyes!
The American Dream doesn’t belong to the highest bidder on Wall Street. It belongs to the American people, who work hard, save up, and play by the rules. I applaud President Trump’s leadership on this issue and urge the House to pass this bill.
This is a particularly special mother's day in the Vance clan, as Usha is about to become a mom for the fourth time. We thought it would be fun to put out a little excerpt from my new book about the early days of our relationship. To all the moms out there, but especially to Usha: Happy Mother's Day!
Iowa, vote for Zach Nunn this November, not that crazy lady whose name I forgot
Fraud has been allowed to run rampant in the US for far too long, and the Task Force has uncovered billions of it already. Democrats will keep trying to give away your tax dollars, but the Trump administration is going to make sure food stamps are not going to dead people.
BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance casts his ballot in the Ohio primaries, cracking a joke to the press as he drops it in the box. "I have to hide it from the reporters. I don't want them to know who I voted for."
Great to be in Cincinnati this morning to vote for Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor, Jay Edwards for State Treasurer and Eric Conroy for Congress (OH-1). I hope you’ll do the same, Ohio!
94 Medicaid "home health" companies purport to occupy this office building, taking more than $66 million of your money. They provide free butlers to immigrants. "No windows on the outside hides the fact that there's no one on the inside." There's an entire street of these.
These shocking allegations, if true, show why the Fraud Task Force’s work is so important. I’m directing the task force to look into it and take immediate action to prosecute any fraudsters involved and stop all further payments as appropriate.
For years, the Democrats let fraudsters abuse SNAP and take advantage of this massive government program — the Biden admin ballooning it by 40% as they tried to buy votes with your tax dollars. It is hard to fully comprehend what would have happened If President Trump hadn’t won. This program and so many others would have continued to grow unchecked and freedom as we know it would have been lost forever. We are working with relentless intention with our great @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, our USDA team, and the @USDAOIG. So far: • 4.3 million people moved off SNAP; • Over 355,000 people getting double benefits found; • 186,000 dead people getting benefits; 440,000 people using dummy SSNs • 893 arrests by USDA alone, so many more by @DOJ More coming. STAY TUNED. 🇺🇸
Great work by @OIGUSDA and @SecRollins to go after the rampant fraud in our SNAP programs that the Biden Admin let surge. SNAP benefits should be used by Americans who need help buying food, not by fraudsters with enough cash to buy Bentleys and Ferraris.
📢 The Fraud Division launches West Coast Strike Force to target HEALTH CARE FRAUD SCHEMES across AZ, NV, and Northern CA “Driven by data showing a significant and accelerating increase in health care fraud across all three districts, the Strike Force builds on a foundation of recent landmark prosecutions — including the successful prosecution of digital health technology executives in the Northern District of California and the dismantling of Medicaid, sober home, and wound care fraud schemes in the District of Arizona,” said Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald. Read more:
This new DOJ strike force is another example of this Administration’s commitment to rooting out fraud, no matter how big or how small. Our efforts to find and prosecute fraudsters and their enablers will not stop.
Today, CMS notified Governor Walz and the state of Minnesota that we are deferring an additional $91 million in federal Medicaid funding. This follows a pattern we can’t ignore. From the “Learing Center” scandal to the recent DOJ action involving childcare centers, Minnesota’s Medicaid program has shown serious vulnerabilities to fraud. These are not isolated breakdowns—they point to systemic issues that must be addressed. Here’s the reality: the federal government funds roughly half of Medicaid. That gives CMS both the authority and the responsibility to ensure those dollars are spent legally and appropriately. When they’re not, we act. Earlier this year, after auditing Q4 FY2025 billing, we deferred over $250 million. Of the $91 million deferred: • $76 million is tied to 14 service categories highly vulnerable to fraud • $14 million involves program integrity concerns, including payments for ineligible individuals We’re giving Governor Walz as much support as we can to turn this around. However, we cannot and will not pay bad bills so we’re asking for more information from Minnesota to verify these bills. CMS will continue using every tool available to protect Medicaid’s integrity—because this program must serve the most vulnerable Americans, while honoring the trust of taxpayers. More updates to come. As always, I’m grateful to @VP’s leadership as CMS plays its part in the whole-of-government effort to root out fraud.
This builds upon the $250 million in Medicaid deferments to Minnesota that Dr. Oz and I announced at the very beginning of our War on Fraud efforts. Proud of the work our task force and CMS continue to do.
