On Monday, President Trump ordered DoorDash to the Oval Office to highlight his ‘No Tax on Tips’ policy as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

DoorDash driver Sharon Simmons, AKA, “DoorDash Grandma” delivered McDonald’s to the Oval Office during the President’s surprise remarks to celebrate Simmons’ tax refund as a result of the bill.

On July 4th, 2025, President Trump made history by signing the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” delivering what many politicians have promised but never achieved: true tax relief for the middle class.

White House projections suggest a family of four could save between $10,000 and $13,300. A distributional analysis by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill provides over $600 billion in middle-class tax relief, with the largest proportional benefits going to households earning under $50,000.

This benefits approximately 4 million workers in jobs like waitressing, barbering, hairstyling, and taxi driving. Additionally, the bill increases income for more than 80 million hourly workers by up to $1,750 by eliminating income taxes on the overtime pay premium.

President Trump noted, “The reason for this is the fact that I heard you picked up an extra $11,000 that you didn’t think you’d get because the tax bill was so big, the refund was the biggest you’ve ever had, is that a correct statement?”

Simmons responded, “It definitely was. I saved over $11,000 by not having to claim.”

The President asked, “Was that surprising to you, actually?”

She replied, “It was very surprising.”

Watch:

In July 2025, the grandmother of 10, who has completed more than 12,000 deliveries, testified before the House Ways and Means Committee at a field hearing in Las Vegas on pro-worker tax relief.

She shared how the policy (which includes Dashers and other delivery drivers) would let her keep hundreds to thousands of extra dollars annually from tips/earnings.

She said during the hearing,“That’s why I’m very excited that Congress took action to include Dashers and other independent contractors in the No Tax on Tips.”

“For someone like me, that means hundreds or potentially thousands of dollars that stay in my pocket every year.”

“I plan to use these tax savings to cover follow-up medical visits for my husband and to travel to Missouri to see my mom, my kids, and my grandchildren.”

SAVE THE KINGDOM: Billionaire Expat Returns to Britain To Be Able To Donate Millions to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK

Delo’s return is great news for Reform UK.

Under the incompetent, tax-hungry Labour party government, scores of wealthy people have chosen to leave Britain.

But one billionaire is making the inverse journey, in a bid to save his Kingdom.

He is returning to be able to donate millions to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, after accusing Labour of ‘trying to rig the next general election’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Ben Delo, who lives in Hong Kong, gave £4m to Reform earlier this year before the Government changed the law to put a £100,000 cap on donations from Britons living abroad.

Mr. Delo has accused Sir Keir Starmer of using legislation specifically to target big-money expat Reform donors “to stack the political deck against the most popular opposition party”.

Writing for The Telegraph, the 42-year-old says he is moving to the UK so he can donate millions more to Reform and ‘build a war chest’ for Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, to fight the next election.”

Delo is Britain’s youngest self-made billionaire, the co-founder of BitMEX, a cryptocurrency trading platform.

“Mr. Delo believes Sir Keir changed the law on donations to target Christopher Harborne, the billionaire who has donated £12m to Reform from his home in Thailand.”

Starmer is afraid expat donors can give Farage an unbeatable war chest.

Daily Mail reported:

“With Reform relying on big donations, Mr Delo said he hoped to inspire other rich expats to move back to defy Sir Keir’s ‘tinpot’ attempt to fix the next election.

The co-founder of cryptocurrency trading platform Bitmex said: ‘For Labour, sitting on its cushion of trade union funding, the idea that someone might create a level playing field by giving Reform as much money to spend as other parties is intolerable.’

[…] [Farage] said: ‘It is particularly gratifying to me personally, that someone like Ben – a builder, visionary and problem-solver, who has spent a lifetime grasping trends before other people do, sees the potential of Reform.’

Oxford graduate Mr. Delo, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at 11, said the ‘chronically dishonest’ culture of government makes it difficult for people with autism spectrum disorders to understand what politicians really mean.”

NEW: Trump DOJ Launches Investigation into the National Football League

The most popular sports league in America is now in the Justice Department’s crosshairs.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the DOJ has launched an investigation into the National Football League (NFL) over whether the league has engaged in anticompetitive practices that harm customers.

Per the Journal, this could seriously jeopardize the NFL’s antitrust exemption.

Professional sports leagues like the NFL are currently protected from antitrust action under the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961.

The New York Post notes that this law has allowed teams to pool their media rights together into large TV packages.

The NFL has, in recent years, shifted some games to streaming services such as Amazon Prime and Netflix, forcing customers to pay $1,000 to watch every professional football game.

This has turned into a massive windfall for the NFL and streaming companies.

More from the Post:

Media rights agreements between the NFL and streamers owned by Disney, Paramount, Fox Corporation, NBCUniversal, NFL Network, Amazon, Google, and Netflix are expected to rake in more than $100 billion in sports rights fees under their current contracts, according to the FCC’s filing in February.

Fox Corporation shares common ownership with The Post’s parent company, News Corp.

Pricey media rights deals have turned the NFL into a serious money-making business, with nearly all of the league’s 32 teams run by billionaires – including Walmart heir Rob Walton, who owns the Denver Broncos, and the Hunt family, which owns the Kansas City Chiefs.

FCC chairman Brendan Carr informed the Post last month that the NFL could lose its exemptions if it puts too many live games behind paywalls.

“For so long, Americans were used to just sitting down and grabbing the remote and just very quickly and easily finding the game,” Carr told The Post.

“Over the last couple of years, that experience has become much more frustrating and people have to sign up for multiple streaming services and they have to pay out of pocket for more of these and it’s difficult to find the game,” he added.

The Post reported in February that the FCC sought comments from sports fans on how streamers have affected them.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), the Senate’s antitrust subcommittee chairman, sent a letter to the DOJ and the FTC in March requesting a review of the NFL’s antitrust protections.

Democrat GA House Candidate Floats Idea to ‘Punish’ MAGA for Voting for President Trump

Democrat Suzanna Karatassos, who is running for the Georgia House of Representatives, has floated an idea to ‘punish’ MAGA.

Karatassos shared a video suggesting banning internet access for those who voted for Donald Trump.

“When this is all over, and Trump’s gone and Democrats are back in charge, and we’re rebuilding everything,” she said in the now-deleted TikTok video posted in January.

“The punishment for MAGA for voting for Trump three times needs to be that they remove their internet access for four years.”

“That they cannot post videos or comments on social media for four straight years, so that none of us are subjected to their lies and misinformation while we are rebuilding the chaos that they caused the whole world and America gets to be without their B.S. online for 4 straight years.”

“Can we all agree to this?”

Watch:

As is typical when Democrats say the quiet part out loud and don’t have the self-awareness to realize how authoritarian they sound, Karatassos claims her video was a “joke” because it is hilarious to parrot the language used by dictators to silence the opposition.

Social media users slammed Karatassos with one noting, “The party that screams ‘No Kings’ and ‘Free Speech’ wants to SILENCE yours.”

Another points out that Karatassos is running in the same district where Laken Riley was brutally murdered by an illegal and she wants to silence those still in mourning.

“They scream about ‘democracy’ and ‘free speech’ when it suits them, but the second they think they can get away with it, they want to shut down half the country for daring to vote against their socialist agenda.”

“No trial, no crime, just pure political revenge against patriots who support Trump and want America First.”

From Karatassos’ campaign website, “I am a wife and mother in Georgia, almost all of my family lives here. I want to see Georgia thrive and for all our citizens to be able to lead a life of prosperity with dignity.”

“What is happening in our country at a federal level is unprecedented and I realized I can’t do anything about that, but I
can help protect our State from it.”

“Helping to flip the Georgia Legislature Blue is what I can offer.”

That and, of course, silencing those who disagree with her.
