Wake Up Right -April 30, 2025


Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! President Donald Trump addressed tens of thousands of supporters at a rally in Michigan last night to commemorate his first 100 days in office. And after touting his early successes, he also previewed “The largest tax cuts in American history,” which is expected by July 4th. Trump promised it would include:
No tax on tips
No tax on social security
No tax on overtime
Cuts of $1 trillion in wasteful spending
Save the average family $5,000 in taxes
Protect Medicare and Social Security for seniors
Preserve Medicaid for the most vulnerable
Ambititious as hell. Just how we like it. This will be one of the next big fights. You and I are going to have to put pressure on certain republicans to get on board. More to come in the next few weeks. 🇺🇸

🤡 #1 issue for 60+ voters in Canada was Trump

Walmart invests in America

Walmart is investing in American-made products by expanding initiatives that support local small businesses — a move driven by President Donald Trump's tariff policy and push to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.
The details: This week, Walmart announced its plans to expand two major pro-U.S. initiatives:
Grow with US: This initiative offers U.S. small businesses training, mentorship, and resources to grow their product lines in Walmart.
2025 Open Call: This program gives U.S. small and medium-sized businesses the opportunity to pitch their products directly to Walmart and Sam's Club merchants. Events are held in cities across the country.
Zoom out: Walmart says more than 2/3 of its products are "made, grown, or assembled" in the U.S. And over 60% of its U.S. suppliers last year were small businesses.
What they’re saying: In a press release, Walmart wrote: “Small businesses are the backbone of our communities... We're excited to continue providing support for and championing the achievements of these businesses every step of the way.”
Big picture: President Trump has imposed a 145% tariff on imports from China, providing a huge incentive for companies like Walmart to invest in U.S. businesses that face no tariff.

Trans-identifying male dominates U.S. women's swim nationals

A biologically male swimmer identifying as female swept gold in five individual events at the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championships.
The details: Ana Caldas, who has also competed under the names Hannah and Hugo Caldas, competed in the 45–49 women’s division and won every event he entered.
He won by margins as wide as four seconds — which is considered a blowout in elite short-distance swimming.
The rules: The U.S. Masters Swimming competition allows biological men to compete against women as long as they can show proof that they've received hormone therapy to reduce their testosterone levels.
Reality check: We know that there is no level of testosterone suppression that can undo the physical biological advantages that a man naturally has in sports — bone density, lung capacity, muscle fiber density, skeletal structure — especially for a man his age.
What Americans think: A poll from earlier this year found that 79% of Americans oppose letting biological men compete against women — including 67% of Democrats.
The last word goes to comedian Rob Schneider, who wrote on X: “Michael Jordan at 60 years old could suit up today and be the best ‘WOMAN’ in the @wnba and maybe THEN the stupid people in the U.S. Masters Swimming National Championship would SEE THEIR OWN INSANITY!”

About two months ago, I was at a butcher in my neighborhood and saw a diagram of a cow, with all the cuts of meat labeled. And that gave me an idea for a t-shirt:
DOGE Butcher Shop — but instead of the cow, we use a pig. And the cuts of meat in the diagram represent all the waste, fraud, and abuse being butchered by the Trump admin.
Over the last few weeks, I worked with a really talented graphic designer who brought it to life. And on Friday I got a sample in the mail and I’m happy to say, it came out better than I’d hoped.
Also, my wife told me I had to mention that the t-shirt it’s printed on is Comfort Colors. Apparently, they’re well-known for high-quality materials. I just chose them because they are printed in the U.S. and made with 100 U.S. cotton.
