U.S. House Unanimously Passes Bill 424-0, Awaiting President Trump's Signature

The pension program, which began at just $10 a month in 1916, has seen periodic increases, but none as significant as this Trump-era surge. The funding for this increase will be sourced through Veterans’ Affairs disability compensation, demonstrating a common-sense approach to fiscal management that prioritizes those who sacrificed the most for our freedom.

SPEAKER JOHNSON DECLARES VICTORY OVER INFLATION AND BIDEN-ERA ECONOMIC FAILURE

While the House celebrated the valor of our veterans, Speaker Mike Johnson took to the airwaves to highlight the staggering success of Republican economic policies. In a high-stakes interview on Fox News, Johnson declared that the "Affordability Hoax" of the previous administration has been dismantled by Trump’s pro-growth agenda.

"It was Bidenomics that got us into this mess," Johnson stated, pointing to the 40-year high inflation that crippled American families. "We got to work immediately in January when Republicans took over... and we did exactly what we said we would do: bring down inflation, cut taxes, and grow the economy."

The results are undeniable. Inflation is in a steep retreat, and gas prices have hit a five-year low, providing much-needed relief at the pump for every American. Even more impressive is the growth rate, which has surged past 5%, a figure that conservative economists once thought was "unimagined." This economic miracle serves as a powerful backdrop for the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

HONORING A LEGEND: THE PUSH FOR MAJOR JAMES CAPERS’ MEDAL OF HONOR

As the National Medal of Honor Museum prepares to open its doors in Arlington, Texas next month, a new push is underway to recognize one of the most heroic figures of the Vietnam War. Members of Congress and veteran groups are advocating for President Trump to award the Medal of Honor to Major James Capers, a Black Marine legend.

Major Capers’ story is one of extraordinary selflessness. During a brutal ambush in Phú Lộc in 1967, Capers saved seven fellow Marines despite suffering from a shattered leg and 19 pieces of shrapnel. Sworn testimony reveals that Capers even tried to jump from a medevac helicopter to save his men, insisting he be left behind so they could escape.

"He refused to surrender command even while bleeding heavily," supporters noted. Awarding Capers the Medal of Honor would be a historic highlight for President Trump’s second term, further cementing his legacy as a Commander-in-Chief who deeply values the contributions of every hero, regardless of background.

SECURE BORDERS AND STRONG ECONOMY: THE 2026 REPUBLICAN MANDATE

Speaker Johnson also used his platform to slam the radical Left’s calls to "defund and abolish ICE." He emphasized that the GOP mandate is about law, order, and protecting the American taxpayer. While Democrats push for chaos, Republicans are delivering a secure border and a flourishing economy.

"Trump policies and Republican policies are doing right by the American people," Johnson concluded. The 424-0 vote for veterans and the 5% GDP growth are the viral results that the GOP will carry to the ballot box this November. The message is clear: when Republican policies are implemented, America wins.

As the bill moves to the Senate, President Trump stands ready to sign this "present" to America’s heroes. From the jungle of Vietnam to the floor of the U.S. Capitol, the spirit of American valor is being honored with action, integrity, and the return of true prosperity.
