From The White House:
Historic Milestone in Making D.C. Safe Again
“For the first time in a long time, D.C. has gone seven days without a homicide,” local news reports, as the Trump Administration continues its historic effort to
Make D.C. Safe Again.
“Carjackings are down 83%. Robberies are down 46%. Car thefts [are] down 21%, and overall violent crime is down 22%.”
In just one week, 550 arrests have been made for crimes such as assault on a police officer, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, involuntary manslaughter, child abuse, driving under the influence, and more. Authorities have also removed dozens of criminal illegal immigrants from the streets, including one MS-13 gang member and another charged with sex crimes against a child.
Meanwhile, dozens of homeless encampments have been cleared and graffiti is being cleaned up as the Trump Administration works to restore glory and prestige to our nation’s capital.
One Big Beautiful Bill Driving Investment
As President Donald J. Trump continues his pursuit of American manufacturing dominance and restoring America’s pharmaceutical supply chain, Johnson & Johnson
announced a new $2 billion investment to build a manufacturing facility in North Carolina — adding to their $55 billion
commitment earlier this year.
Joaquin Duato, the company’s chairman and CEO, credited President Trump’s landmark One Big Beautiful Bill for the continued investment: “With the recent signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, we continue to expand our investment in the U.S. to lead the next era of healthcare innovation.”
