We're exploring ways to improve the Postal Service, which has been losing significant amounts of money. One option is a potential merger with the Commerce Department. The goal is to create a more efficient postal service. Whether it's a full merger or simply leveraging talented people from other departments, we aim to reduce the losses. The Postal Service will remain, but we believe we can significantly improve its operations and financial performance. We're considering all options to keep it very similar to what it is now, but in a way that prevents it from losing tremendous amounts of money.

We've stopped the $8,000,000 in taxpayer subsidies for Politico subscriptions. The team is working to cancel the payments immediately. Large organizations inevitably miss things. Claims of widespread waste and abuse haven't been substantiated with evidence. We haven't seen proof of the alleged misuse of funds.

This is truly an "America First" policy, fulfilling a long-standing public demand. Politicians have promised smaller, more efficient government for years, but only Donald Trump, with Elon Musk's help, is delivering on that promise with unprecedented speed. While some disruption is expected, the public desires action. Republicans will likely support this aggressive government audit, including a review of the Pentagon. The goal isn't to weaken the military, but to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. Finding inefficiencies and redirecting funds to crucial areas will enhance national security, not compromise it. The American people want this, and it's achievable.

Texas should ban Kellogg and similar companies from public institutions due to their sale of less safe cereal versions in the U.S. compared to other countries. Kellogg uses artificial dyes and preservatives in the U.S. for higher profits, despite having safer options. Over 450,000 signatures have been collected for a petition urging Kellogg to provide safer products. Kellogg refused to engage, claiming American children prefer the brighter colors. Recently, California passed a bill banning six artificial food dyes in public schools, including Froot Loops. Texas should take similar action to improve public health. There is an opportunity for Texas to lead in removing harmful ingredients from food and reversing this trend.

As the Biden administration ends, a new rule requires renewed surveys for well and pipeline drilling, raising drilling costs. These increased costs inevitably get passed on to consumers, hindering our efforts to lower prices. This regulation exemplifies a key reason for the inflation we're currently facing in America. My resolution aims to rescind this rule. While I won't comment on the originator's intelligence, I will say that we must eliminate this detrimental policy.

Starbucks paper cups have a plastic barrier that releases microplastic particles into your drink. These particles can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation and carrying toxic chemicals into your body. Microplastics have been found in human lung, blood, and placenta, raising concerns about their impact on babies.

The people want an active government that doesn't waste money. To deliver change, we're reorganizing the government to save taxpayer dollars. We're cutting the federal bureaucracy by 100,000 positions through attrition and reducing administrative costs by 12%. Unproductive advisory commissions will be eliminated, and agencies can't create new ones without approval. Government regulations and procurement rules hurt the system, so we will cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, and change these rules to make government work better. This includes downsizing the government, improving customer service, and overhauling federal procurement and personnel systems. The goal is to make government work for the people, eliminate unnecessary programs, and reduce the federal workforce. We're committed to cutting spending and reducing the deficit to ensure a stronger economy for the future.

The speaker says they want dyes removed from food, noting that products like Froot Loops contain dyes in the US but not in Canada or Europe. They are launching a review of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) standards, which were adopted in 1958 to avoid testing common foods like flour, dairy, and eggs. The speaker claims industry took advantage of GRAS to add chemicals to food without review, resulting in 10,000 ingredients in US food compared to 400 in Europe. They state the US has the worst chronic disease burden globally. The plan is to eliminate GRAS standards for new products, review old ingredients for safety, and encourage companies to remove harmful ingredients.

Paper cups should absorb water, but if they don't, it's due to a polyethylene plastic barrier. A study found that hot liquids in paper cups leach 25 microplastic particles in fifteen minutes, yet this is largely unexamined. The human body struggles to metabolize plastics, which break down into nanoplastics that can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation as the body recognizes them as foreign objects. Microplastics also release plasticizer chemicals and can carry toxic chemicals into the body.

Budget reform isn't an option; it's essential. The American people deserve transparency and accountability to see where their tax dollars go. We must ensure funds are used as intended. We're committed to scrutinizing the federal budget, line by line, eliminating wasteful programs and ensuring cost-effectiveness. It should be easy to cut pointless waste that benefits no one. We aim to establish a new culture of efficiency, not just within our administration, but for every administration that follows. No amount of waste is acceptable when it's your money. We all know government inefficiency exists. Reorganizing and finding efficiency is challenging, and frankly, some of these necessary changes are overdue.

Every federal department and agency is directed to tackle the cost of living crisis that has significantly impacted Americans. Thank you.

I'm addressing concerns about the Postal Service operating like a private business while facing declining first-class mail volume. Despite this, employee numbers have increased, which seems counterintuitive in a declining business. The issue isn't about changing the laws governing the Postal Service but trying to fix the current situation. There is also concern about shifting costs rather than true reform, especially regarding healthcare and pension expenses. Insourcing jobs increase these costs compared to using contractors. While the reform package aimed to alleviate these expenses, the decision to hire more government employees exacerbates the problem. It would make more sense to hire contractors to avoid these government labor-associated costs.

If you drink Starbucks, be aware that the paper cups have a plastic lining that can release microplastics into your drink. These microplastics can penetrate cells, cause inflammation, and carry toxic chemicals into your body. They have been found in human lungs, blood, and placenta, raising concerns about babies being born with plastic in their bodies.

We had a productive discussion about USAID, an issue I've focused on for years in the Senate. USAID has consistently obstructed my congressional oversight efforts. I shared examples of waste within the organization during a recent conversation on X Spaces with Elon. It's crucial that we scrutinize every dollar spent there, and I'm pleased to see a shift in oversight to the State Department.

I've issued a deadline for agencies to submit waste reduction plans. Failure to comply will result in tech support intervention, which is essentially what my team is doing – fixing outdated government computer systems. We aim to find a trillion dollars in savings to prevent national bankruptcy. Every agency will have a "mini Elon Musk" to justify spending. We're freezing government credit cards for 30 days and doing a pulse check via email to see if employees are real and responsive, we suspect some are dead or even fictional. Some people are upset with our aid to Ukraine which has been spent on things like fashion shows, wine, and cheese puffs. Providing money to LGBTQ individuals in Serbia is also coming under fire. Some are questioning the loyalty of Elon Musk because of this. The Biden years proved we don't even need an active president, because institutions are running everything behind the scenes.

This report outlines how to cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, change procurement and personnel rules, and create a more efficient and cost-effective government. Where the report recommends action, I will act. This includes eliminating 12% of the federal workforce, merging agencies like the FBI, DEA, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and closing hundreds of government offices outside of Washington. From day one, I committed to rooting out wasteful spending. We must systematically eliminate waste, even if it means cutting worthy programs we can't currently afford. While much action requires congressional approval, we don't need to wait. We've launched our campaign to cut waste independently because Congress hasn't acted enough. We will continue finding ways to cut waste, regardless of congressional action.

The American people are tired of their tax dollars being wasted. For the first time, this president is committed to restoring accountability at every level of the federal government. If you agree there is waste, abuse, and corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts and reforms that are being instituted? We are saving Americans billions of dollars and ending the theft, waste, grift, and corruption. We are stopping American taxpayer dollars from subsidizing a rogue federal bureaucracy that has been relentlessly weaponized against the American people. We care about this issue. The American public overwhelmingly supports what President Trump is doing.

Starbucks-style paper cups have a polyethylene plastic barrier so they don't absorb water. A study found that hot liquids in the cups leach 25,000 microplastic particles in 15 minutes. These microplastics break down into nanoplastics, which can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation as the body recognizes them as foreign objects. The cups also release plasticizer chemicals and can carry toxic chemicals into the body. Microplastics have been detected in human lung, blood, and placenta. The speaker speculates that babies are likely being born with plastic in their bodies.

Texas should take action by banning Kellogg and similar companies from public institutions due to their sale of less safe cereal versions in the U.S. Kellogg offers a safer version without harmful additives in other countries but chooses to sell a more profitable, inferior product here. Over 450,000 signatures have been gathered for a petition urging Kellogg to provide safer options for American families. Despite this, Kellogg refuses to change, citing consumer preference for colorful products. California has already passed a bill banning certain artificial food dyes in public schools, and Texas should follow suit as a first step toward improving public health. There is a clear path to eliminate harmful ingredients from our food, and Texas can lead the way in this effort. Thank you.

Costco sold 37 million rotisserie chickens last year, now packaged in flexible plastic bags instead of dome containers. There is concern about hormone disruption from food in plastic, especially hot, oily foods. The speaker looked for the resin identification code (RIC) on the bag to identify the plastic type, but it was missing. The speaker contacted Costco to ask about the plastic type but has not yet received an answer. Press reports indicate others have had the same experience. While Costco claims the bags are BPA-free, the speaker notes that BPA is often replaced with equally harmful substances. The speaker believes the question should be, what is the replacement?

Starbucks paper cups have a plastic barrier that can release microplastic particles into your drink. These particles can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation and carrying toxic chemicals into your body. Our bodies struggle to metabolize plastics, and microplastics have been found in the lungs, blood, and placenta. This raises concerns about the potential impact on babies, as they could be born with plastic in their bodies.

Paper straws are unpopular and ineffective. Their environmental impact compared to plastic is unclear, yet the switch has been costly and frustrating for everyone. We're instructing federal agencies to review their purchasing practices and are requesting a comprehensive review of this issue. It significantly impacts everyday Americans. Frankly, paper straws are a disaster. They break and disintegrate quickly, especially with hot drinks. We're returning to plastic straws because they simply work better. I don't believe the effect of plastic straws on marine life is a major concern.

We're streamlining the federal bureaucracy, aiming to reduce the workforce. We found a surprising bottleneck: the retirement process. Currently, the maximum number of retirements per month is capped at 10,000 due to a completely manual, paper-based system. The paperwork is stored in a 1950s-era limestone mine, and the speed of the mine shaft elevator limits processing. This antiquated system employs thousands of people whose efforts could be far better utilized elsewhere. The situation is absurd; we need to modernize this process immediately. Imagine the increased efficiency and contribution to the country's goods and services if these employees were redeployed.

The speaker thanks the president for his leadership in making America healthy again. They announced a ban on nine petroleum-based synthetic blue dyes, with the worst two to be banned within two months. They are working with Secretary Rollins on new dietary guidelines to replace the current 453-page guidelines, which they claim are unreadable and the product of politicized science that promoted unhealthy foods. The goal is to develop gold-standard science-based guidelines by the end of the summer to drive major changes in school lunch programs for the next school year. They are also working with Secretary Rollins to remove sodas and candy from the SNAP program, noting that 10% of food stamps go to these items. The speaker thanks the president for standing up to powerful businesses.

Texas should ban Kellogg and other companies that sell inferior and unsafe food products in public institutions like schools and the military. Earlier this year, I filed a shareholder activist letter against Kellogg for providing a less safe version of their cereals in the U.S. compared to other countries. We have gathered over 450,000 signatures for the largest food petition in U.S. history, urging Kellogg to offer safer products. Kellogg refused to meet with us, claiming American children prefer the more colorful, toxic versions. California has already passed a bill banning certain artificial food dyes in public schools, and Texas should follow suit. I believe Texas can lead the way in removing harmful ingredients from our food and reversing this trend of poor nutrition.
