- White House issued promotional release claiming administration achievements — The White House published a promotional release titled "Don't Be a Panican. We're Winning — and We're Not Slowing Down." The document claims multiple policy achievements including stock market gains, ICE immigration enforcement actions, halting gender-affirming care for minors, court victories on immigration detention, crime reductions, falling rents and mortgage rates, and zero illegal border crossings for nine consecutive months. The release frames these as evidence of successful implementation of the "America First agenda."
- White House issued fact sheet claiming violent crime plummets under Trump administration — The White House published a fact sheet titled "Violent Crime Plummets Across Major U.S. Cities," citing Axios reporting and claiming steep declines in violent crime in 2025 compared to 2024. The document states murders fell 19%, robberies 20%, and aggravated assaults nearly 10%, and asserts the murder rate in major cities reached its lowest level in at least 125 years. The fact sheet attributes these declines to President Trump's "aggressive, no-nonsense approach to public safety," including federal resource deployment and immigration enforcement.
- White House issues fact sheet claiming inflation victory and real wage gains — The White House published a fact sheet asserting that President Trump has "defeated" inflation, citing a January 2026 Consumer Price Index report showing year-over-year inflation at 2.4% and claiming real average hourly earnings rose 1.2% over the past year, with cumulative real wage gains of $1,400 in Trump's first year. The document attributes price declines in beef, eggs, coffee, energy, and gasoline to Trump's policies and references drug pricing reforms and a "Great Healthcare Plan."
- White House issues fact sheet announcing EPA revocation of 2009 Endangerment Finding — The White House issued a fact sheet announcing that President Trump has revoked the EPA's 2009 "Endangerment Finding" that classified greenhouse gases as harmful to human health under the Clean Air Act. The document claims this action eliminates the regulatory foundation for vehicle emissions standards, fuel economy mandates, and power plant regulations. The fact sheet asserts the revocation will save American families an average of $2,400 on vehicle purchases and reduce overall regulatory costs by $1.3 trillion. The announcement includes statements from industry groups, conservative organizations, and Republican officials supporting the action.
