It’s a day ending in “y,” which means it’s a day the Trump administration can make an announcement that has the potential to send The Usual Suspects swaying towards the fainting couches.
Undoubtedly, that’s exactly what they did after President Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday evening that he was going to sign an executive order directing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin to pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers amid the Democrats’ continued refusal to fund DHS, as RedState reported earlier.
“Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do!” Trump wrote. “Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents.”
As if that wasn’t enough to send the left and mainstream media over the edge, the announcement from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday about a big change to U.S. paper currency will likely speed up the pace of Democrat implosions:
In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump’s signature will appear on future U.S. paper currency along with the Secretary of the Treasury, marking the first time in history for a sitting president.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial.”
“As the 250th anniversary of our great nation approaches, American currency will continue to stand as a symbol of prosperity, strength, and the unshakable spirit of the American people under President Trump’s leadership,” said Treasurer Brandon Beach. “The President’s mark on history as the architect of America’s Golden Age economic revival is undeniable. Printing his signature on the American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.”
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, President Donald J. Trump’s signature alongside @SecScottBessent‘s will soon appear on U.S. currency, marking a first in history, and symbolizes @POTUS‘ leadership and dedication to our great nation will carry a lasting impact.…

Trump’s and Bessent’s names appearing on the currency also symbolize another historic change:
[Trump’s] name will appear alongside that of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. As a result, the U.S. treasurer, whose name has been on the currency for more than a century, will not appear on the currency.
The news follows approval last week of a 24-karat commemorative gold coin that will feature Trump’s image.
The federal Commission of Fine Arts officially voted Thursday to approve a new 24-karat commemorative gold coin featuring President Trump, amid backlash from Democrats and other stakeholders. https://t.co/yUY5iKw0ZA pic.twitter.com/F7krQMjX3s
“The administration has also proposed a separate Trump-themed $1 coin, but it’s not clear when it will enter circulation,” ABC News also reported.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
