Celebrating American Strength
By Congressman Dusty Johnson
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.
At least Dusty says “God Bless America”. Let’s check in on the President’s holiday message…
““They wouldn’t vote only because they hate Trump, but I hate them, too, you know?” Trump said… I really do. I hate them. I cannot stand them, because I really believe they hate our country.”
Did he just stir up division and bitterness for the third holiday in a row? Of course.. it’s what he does.
It has to be harder and harder for real Republicans to endure the childish behavior of this man they worship the most. Republicans used to be Builders. But one is challenged to recall the last thing Republicans actually built in America. Maybe someone in here can remind us.
A modern day concentration camp. Its quite the accomplishment
Care to elaborate with specifics?
Detention centers to hold people without due process. Alligator Alcatraz. It literally looks identical to a concentration camp. Maga loves the new brownshirts and gestapo.
I wonder what the if children and grandchildren of these republicans will be proud of what they did or will they hang their head and not want to owe up to the fact they are related to this bunch.
Dusty, thanks for the special tax break in the reconciliation bill for rum distillers! How much did Captain Morgan donate to your campaigns for that vote?
Thanks for the tax cut Dusty!
I needed it.
Too bad the rural hospitals are going to be hurting (almost 50% of births paid by Medicaid in state) but who cares.
I’m going to do better, that’s all that matters.
