In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned. At the start of Donald Trump's first term, he promised that he and his family would never do anything that might even be "perceived to be exploitive of office of the Presidency." By contrast, his second term looks rapacious. He and members of his family have signed a blitz of foreign mega-deals shadowed by conflicts of interest, and they've launched at least five different cryptocurrency enterprises, all of which leverage Trump's status as President to lure buyers or investors. Ethics watchdogs say that no other President has ever so nakedly exploited his position, or on such a scale. Trump recently explained to the Times why he cast aside his former restraint: "I found out that nobody cared." Is Trump right about the public's nonchalance? Last summer, I tallied how much money he and his immediate family had made off his high office. My method was conservative. It seemed unfair to begrudge Trump the profits from the many businesses he owned before entering the White House. So I excluded from my calculation preexisting hotels, condos, and golf courses, along with plausible extensions of those long-standing businesses. Likewise, Trump is hardly the first President to trade access or potential influence for political fund-raising, and he generally cannot spend such money on personal expenses, so I set that aside, too. Lastly, I left out funny-money assets he couldn't readily cash out without setting off a fire sale that would eviscerate their value, such as his shares in the company behind Truth Social, his social-media platform. Even excluding all that, by August, the Presidential profiteering reached $3.4 billion. (You can review my judgments in the article, "The Number.") And since then the First Family has kept busy. The end of Trump's first year in office seemed an opportune time for an update. Did the family business slow down or speed up for the Trumps? Many investors and consumers understandably distrust cryptocurrency and digital finance. Crypto heists are alarmingly common, and the best-known uses of digital currency are money laundering and casino-like financial speculation. President Trump himself, before his most recent campaign, maintained that Bitcoin "seems like a scam" and that crypto "can facilitate unlawful behavior." But an association with a sitting President can furnish a valuable credibility boost. Think of the premium that investors will pay for U.S. Treasury bonds compared to notes from some little-known bank. That appears, in a nutshell, to be the Trump family's strategy with crypto. The Trumps' first windfall since my August tally occured through American Bitcoin, a company that mines new bitcoin with the intent to hoard it. (Under the algorithm that created bitcoin, miners get paid in new tokens for the computer work of tracking digital transactions.) Last spring, Eric and Donald Trump, Jr., contributed their family name--and nothing else of obvious value--to a complicated series of transactions that yielded them approximately a thirteen-per-cent stake in American Bitcoin. Eric, who is now listed as its co-founder and chief strategy officer, has become the company's public face. If Eric and Donald, Jr.,'s father had lost the 2024 election, surely no one would have handed them such a large stake in a business that they had virtually no experience in and to which they had contributed so little--so their stake should be categorized as Presidential profit. In August, I calculated that the brothers' thirteen-percent stake in the company's computer hardware alone added at least thirteen million dollars to the family's profiteering tally. In September, the company floated shares on the stock market, capitalizing in another way on the cachet of the Trump name. American Bitcoin merged with a penny-stock bitcoin miner as a way of going public without the cost--or scrutiny--of an initial public offering. And the stock market, as expected, has put a far higher price on the company, in part because it owns a stockpile of bitcoin. The brothers' stake now appears to be worth around two hundred million dollars. A caveat: Eric Trump, as a large and active investor in American Bitcoin, must report any sale of shares, and that might trigger a selloff. So it seems excessive to add it all to the Presidential-profit ledger. I will add only the approximate value of Donald Trump, Jr.,'s stake: about a hundred million dollars. The number in August: $3.4 billion. Additional profit: $100 million. New total: $3.5 billion. The Trumps have made even more money since August through World Liberty Financial, a digital-finance startup heavily linked to the family. Its website lists the President as a "co-founder emeritus" and displays his photograph prominently; Eric, Donald, Jr., and Barron Trump are all listed as co-founders. Steven Witkoff, the President's old friend and diplomatic envoy, is also listed as a co-founder emeritus, and his son Zach is C.E.O. In May, World Liberty began selling a form of crypto known as a stablecoin. Unlike digital currencies such as bitcoin, which rise and fall in price, a stablecoin is supposed to hold a fixed value in dollars. Before July, when President Trump signed the first legislation regulating stablecoin, some of the best-known examples, such as TerraUSD, had turned out to be Ponzi schemes. (In December, a New York court sentenced TerraUSD's co-founder to fifteen years in prison.) But World Liberty promised that its stablecoin, USD1, will always be worth exactly one dollar. Buyers can transfer USD1 to move money or make payments, and any holder can redeem USD1 for dollars. In between, while USD1s are circulating, World Liberty invests the cash that it is holding in U.S. Treasury bonds, in much the same way a savings bank might invest deposits. At current interest rates, World Liberty can expect to earn more than four percent annually on the volume of USD1 in circulation. Last spring, a company owned by the rulers of the United Arab Emirates bought two billion dollars' worth of USD1. The transaction raised alarms about the appearance of a payoff--because the U.A.E. was simultaneously seeking approval from the Trump Administration to acquire sensitive American artificial-intelligence technology. (President Trump soon granted that approval.) The Emiratis immediately used the stablecoin to invest in Binance, the largest crypto exchange, which has its own interest in influencing Trump. In 2023, Binance's founder, Changpeng Zhao, known as C.Z., pleaded guilty to violating anti-money-laundering laws, served a brief prison sentence, and agreed to stop running the company. At the time of the two-billion-dollar stablecoin payment from the U.A.E., he was petitioning Trump for a pardon. Binance, as the holder of the stablecoin, can determine how long World Liberty continues earning four percent a year on that two billion dollars. In other words, Binance controls how much profit the Trumps will make from the two-billion-dollar stablecoin sale. In October, Trump granted C.Z.'s request for a pardon. (David Wachsman, a spokesman for World Liberty, told me that Binance cannot "exert control or influence over World Liberty Financial.") Binance is currently seeking to end federal monitoring that had been imposed when he was convicted for violating anti-money-laundering laws. Now the company is goosing the Trumps' stablecoin profits in another way. On December 11th, Binance dropped its fees for certain crypto trades if they were conducted in USD1. Then, on December 23rd, Binance began paying users of its platform to hold USD1: Binance announced that, for the next month, it would give users a bonus equal to about 1.7 percent on up to fifty thousand dollars' worth of USD1 holdings. If this return rate were annualized, it would yield an eye-popping twenty percent. And, on January 23rd, Binance announced a combination of new giveaways to USD1 holders which roughly extended that offer. Many users leapt at these opportunities. In the months preceding Binance's maneuvers, the total volume of USD1 in circulation had held steady at about two billion dollars. On December 25th, shortly after Binance announced its first giveaway, World Liberty announced that USD1's volume had crossed three billion dollars. It has now climbed to roughly five billion, and most of that expansion appears to have taken place on the Binance platform. Representatives of Binance and World Liberty both denied any wrongdoing. They told me that Binance and its competitors have often paid holders of other stablecoins in order to attract traders, and that several smaller exchanges also provide benefits to holders of USD1. A Binance spokeswoman said in a statement that the services it provided to World Liberty "are available to other projects on equal terms." A spokesman for World Liberty said that USD1's growth "reflects genuine market adoption." But Molly White, a computer programmer who is a prominent critic of the crypto industry and tracks such offers, told me that crypto exchanges have seldom, if ever, paid stablecoin holders as high a return rate as Binance is providing for USD1, or offered bonus returns on such large quantities. She said that Binance "seems like they are just giving away free money," and that the company's enrichment of the Trumps, through World Liberty, looked like "a very blatant quid pro quo" for the President's pardoning of C.Z. (in response to detailed questions about my reporting for this article, Taylor Rogers, a White House spokeswoman, told me, in an e-mail, that "the failing liberal media is only pushing the same old garbage narratives" and that "President Trump has always put--and will always put--the best interests of the American people first.") Last spring, the government of Pakistan reportedly enlisted C.Z. as an advisor of the use of crypto. And, on January 14th, Pakistan--which has its own interests in influencing the Trump Administration--signed an agreement to incorporate USD1 into an officially regulated digital-payment system. A spokesman for World Liberty told me that, at the moment, Pakistan is only exploring the potential use of USD1 in handling "international remittances," and that the country's interest in USD1 "has nothing to do" with its relations with the Trump Administration. Still, it is hard to imagine that, without the imprimatur of the U.S. President, such a novel stablecoin would be embraced so quickly at the highest levels of the Pakistani government. So this deal, too, depends on Trump's Presidency. Now that World Liberty has seen an increase of three billion dollars in the value of its stablecoin in circulation, it can reasonably expect to earn four percent a year on that extra sum--three hundred and sixty million dollars, if that circulation holds up in the three years Trump has left in office. According to the fine print on World Liberty's website, a company affiliated with the Trumps is entitled to about thirty-eight percent of that interest, which would come out to about a hundred and thirty-six million dollars in additional Presidential profit. Running total: $3.5 billion. Additional profit: $136 million. New total: $3.64 billion. The Trumps have also received a windfall from World Liberty through a different form of crypto that it has sold: digital "governance" tokens, which provide buyers a loosely defined right to vote on the company's future. Unlike stablecoin, these tokens carry no promise of redemption for any fixed amount of dollars; you can sell one for a price that rises or falls like a stock.

Yet, unlike a stock, these digital tokens do not entitle a buyer to any equity in World Liberty; nor to any share of its profits, raising many questions about why an investor might want to own them--other than for World Liberty's connection to the Trumps. Some purchasers may hope that, if the Trump Administration further loosens security rules, the tokens will eventually become a form of ownership. Others may be seeking to buy influence. After my August tally, World Liberty found an improbable new taker for its tokens: a company that had gone public, in 1991, as Appliance Recycling Centers of America. In 2019, it made a radical transition into biotechnology, declaring that it would attempt to develop a nonaddictive alternative to opioids. In 2024, it transformed again, adopting the name Alt5 Sigma Corporation and shifting its focus to processing digital payments. In August, Alt5 Sigma refocussed yet again--to buying World Liberty's digital tokens. It agreed to trade the leadership of its board (and a substantial minority of its stock) to World Liberty in exchange for a pile of digital tokens, then said to be worth about seven hundred and fifty million dollars. Zach Witkoff became Alt5 Sigma's chairman, and the company announced that it would appoint Eric Trump as a director. As part of the same convoluted transaction, the new Alt5 Sigma--cashing in on the Trump name and the broader crypto boom--also sold about seven hundred and fifty million dollars' worth of new shares to outside investors expressly for the purpose of buying even more World Liberty tokens. Alt5 Sigma didn't name the buyers; a securities filing said only that the investors included "a select number of the world's largest institutional investors and prominent crypto venture-capital firms." After this transaction, Alt5 Sigma's stockpile of World Liberty tokens rose to about 7.5 percent of all the tokens in circulation, and its share had a nominal value of about $1.5 billion. Alt5 Sigma is pitching its stock as an easy way for ordinary investors to indirectly own World Liberty tokens--essentially turning its common stock into a bet on the Trump family's future endeavors in crypto. White, the crypto critic, noted that top executives of World Liberty were now running a second company whose mission appeared to be buying World Liberty's own governance token. These sales enrich the Trump and Witkoff families. She called the arrangement "a mind-boggling conflict of interest." (Wachsman, the World Liberty spokesman, told me that Alt5 Sigma's original board had independently decided to stockpile the governance token before Witkoff became chairman; Wachsman added that World Liberty's USD1 business "aligns with" Alt5 Sigma's payment processing "roadmap."

Early on in his second term in office, Donald Trump eased his way into a Tesla and delivered a delighted review to the car's manufacturer, his biggest billionaire benefactor, Elon Musk. "Everything is computer!" Trump exclaimed. This year, the president has brought that philosophy to his investment portfolio. Trump revealed in a series of filings this month that he made nearly 4,000 trades between January and March. That's 44 per day on average and almost three times more than all of 2025 combined. Total trading volume was between $200 million and $700 million. Unlike his recent Oval Office predecessors--including himself--Trump isn't just buying and selling bonds, broad-based index funds and money markets. Scores of individual publicly traded companies are getting the presidential seal of approval or disapproval, making the commander-in-chief something like a one-man market signal. Every time one of those companies is added to or subtracted from his portfolio, the questions multiply. Does it do business with the government? Does it need regulatory consideration? Does it want export approvals, tax favors, federal contracts, antitrust restraint, White House praise or a seat at the table? Forbes analyzed the president's largest stock trades, roughly 240 that were larger than $250,000. The pattern that emerged is clear: All of his 10 best buys were tech company stocks, boosted by the unregulated AI boom Trump has made a centerpiece of his economic policy. Everything is, indeed, computer. Trump's best apparent bet was Dell. The President bought between $1 million and $5 million of Dell shares on February 10; the company's stock, buoyed by AI data center deals, is up 142 percent since then. That means that if he bought $3 million of shares, the middle of his declared range, they'd be worth about $7.3 million today. And Trump did not stop there. He bought the company's shares three more times, all smaller amounts, in March, then gave the company an unusually convenient bit of presidential pumping on May 8. "Go out and buy a Dell," he declared from the White House after an event with CEO Michael Dell. The stock closed 11.5 percent higher that day and is up 31 percent since. That's not the only plumbing-of-the-AI-economy company Trump has made a killing on. Semiconductor manufacturer AMD is up 136 percent since the president--who last year allowed the company to export advanced chips to China in exchange for a 15 percent cut for the U.S. government--bought between $500,000 and $1 million of its shares in February. He invested nine more times after that, but also sold between $15,000 and $50,000 in late March, which may have blunted some of his gains. On January 12, he bought between $1 million and $5 million of Texas Instruments, which sells components for Al chips and promised more $60 billion in investments last year in a press release that included a statement from commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. TI's stock is up more than 60 percent since the president bought in. Then there's Jabil, which makes AI server hardware and earned plaudits from an official White House account last June for its announcement of its own manufacturing investments in the U.S. It's up 40 percent since the president invested in February. Democrats have called the trading what it looks like to them: greed and self-dealing. "The President's corruption is a national security disaster," Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted after Trump bought Nvidia stock, then brought Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang along with him to China. Trump's allies deny that, of course. "All of our assets are invested in a blind trust by the largest financial institutions in broad market indexes," Eric Trump replied to Warren on X. That clearly isn't true. The president owns shares in companies, not just index funds. And the trust that contains his assets is not blind. Pushback continued nonetheless: "The President doesn't sit at the Oval Office on his computer on a Robinhood account buying and selling stocks," vice president J.D. Vance more plausibly told reporters on May 19. That same day, Eric posted a lawyerly passage claiming that his dad's portfolio was contained in "fully discretionary accounts managed by independent third-party financial institutions" and that "neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization has any role in selecting, directing, approving, influencing or soliciting specific investments." In response to a request for comment, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said "there are no conflicts of interest" and called such questions a "tired narrative." The Trump Organization sent Forbes a statement identical to Eric's post, attributable to a spokesperson. Federal rules only require the president to declare a range of values on each trade--say, $500,000 to $1 million--so it's unclear exactly how much the president made off each transaction. But assuming the median for each trade's range, here are his 10 best stock purchases so far this year, which collectively made the president an estimated $12.7 million richer. Values are as of the close of markets on Tuesday, May 26. Figures are rounded. 1. Dell (ticker: DELL) Purchase: $l million to $5 million on February 10 Stock change since main purchase: +142 percent Medican value gain: $4.3 million Trump bought at least $31,000 in additional shares in March. Michael Dell and his wife Susan donated $6.25 billion to the U.S. Treasury in December 2025 to fund the creation of "Trump accounts," a new savings vehicle created by Republicans in their tax cuts package, for additional kids under 10 who missed the cutoff for a government contribution. 2. Texas Instruments (TXN) Purchase: $1 million to $5 million on Jan. 12 Stock change since main purchase: +72 percent Median value gain: $2.2 million The president bought smaller amounts of TI shares 12 additional times across three months, totaling at least an additional $220,000. 3. Jabil (JBL) Purchase: $1 million to $5 million on Feb. 10 Stock change since purchase: +47 percent Median value gain: $1.4 million Based in the president's adopted home state, Jabil earned three additional purchases from the president in March totaling at least $115,000. 4. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Purchase: $500,000 to $1 million on Feb. 10 Stock change since purchase: +136 percent Median value gain: $1 million Trump already owned a small stake in this chipmaker when he took office. He reports selling some of it in January, then buying it all back and then some over the subsequent three months. AMD CEO Lisa Su visited the White House in September to take part in an AI in Education Task Force event, an initiative led by Melania Trump, and was appointed to an AI advisory panel in March. 5. Cadence (CDNS) Purchase: $1 million to $5 million on Mar. 17 Stock change since purchase: 30 percent Median value gain: $900,000 In July 2025, this chip software company pleaded guilty to selling software to a Chinese military university in violation of U.S. export controls, paying a fine of $140 million. Trump owned a small stake when he took office, sold it in January, then rapidly bought it back. 6. Oracle (ORCL) Purchase: $1 million to $5 million on Mar. 17 Stock change since purchase: 25 percent Median value gain: $750,000 Trump traded Oracle at least 17 times between January and March, buying and selling tranches ranging from $1,000 to at least $1 million in size. His big purchase came roughly a week before he appointed chairman Larry Ellison, one of the world's richest men and a Trump benefactor, to an AI advisory panel on March 25. 7. Synopsys (SNPS) Purchase: $1 million to $5 million on Feb. 10 Stock change since purchase: 22 percent Median value gain: $650,000 The president made additional smaller purchases of its stock in January and March. Synopsys has also been caught up in U.S.-China trade tensions--the company's merger with a Chinese engineering firm was reportedly only approved by Chinese regulators last year after the U.S. loosened restrictions on chip sales. 8. Datadog (DDOG) Purchase: $500,000 to $1 million on Mar. 17 Stock change since purchase: 74 percent Median value gain: $550,000 This cloud computing company saw nine additional transactions from the president between January and March. 9. Apple (AAPL) Purchase: $1 million to $5 million on Mar. 2 Stock change since purchase: 16 percent Median value gain: $500,000 Apple CEO Tim Cook has pursued a close relationship with the Trump administration, gifting the famously gold-loving president a gilded plaque before securing a tariff exemption for his company. He accompanied Trump to China in May after the president bought and sold millions in Apple stock over the course of three months. 10. Fortinet (FTNT) Purchase: $500,000 to $1 million on Mar. 17 Stock change since purchase: 61 percent Median value gain: $450,000 The president kicked off the year by selling a big tranche of shares in Fortinet, a cybersecurity company, but by March had bought his stake back and then some. Good move--the stock has soared.

June 1, 2026. Dear Members of Congress: We, the undersigned organizations, led by the Child Care for Every Family Network with the support of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, National Women's Law Center, the Center for Law and Social Policy, and the National Association of Family Child Care, strongly urge you to reject a package of child care bills--or the "Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026"--amending the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act (CCDBG) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). These bills give the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services unprecedented authority to withhold all Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) funding from states without cause or due process, bar child care providers for non-fraudulent activity, and burden states with costly activities that don't improve program integrity. There is no evidence of significant or widespread fraud in the federal child care program. These bills will be detrimental to child care access as they will result in fewer families receiving child care assistance from CCDF, fewer child care providers willing to serve families with child care subsidies, and further destabilize America's child care sector, which is already stretched too thin. The latest annual survey report from the National Association for Family Child Care reveals an unsustainable situation: 35 percent reported earning less than $10 an hour despite 71 percent working 50 or more hours per week, and 48 percent reported working 60 or more hours per week. A recent survey of providers by the National Association for the Education of Young Children makes clear that insufficient public investment threatens parents' ability to afford and access child care. In short, these bills deny support to children and families while doing absolutely nothing to strengthen our child care system or help the millions of families that are struggling to find and afford the child care they need. Lawmakers must reject this effort that will destabilize our child care system and harm the families that rely on it. The House of Representatives will soon consider legislation that ignores the real child care crisis and create a constellation of policies that exacerbate this crisis, undermining and weakening our current system and doing nothing to help the millions of families that urgently need help affording child care. We urge lawmakers to reject the "Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026," which includes the following bills: H.R. 7720 Child Care Payment Integrity and Fraud Accountability Act: This bill treats all states as high-risk by annual error rate reviews instead of every three years, despite no evidence of significant or widespread fraud in the CCDF program. These time-consuming, burdensome, and costly reviews will mean states have less funding for child care assistance, while doing nothing to reduce fraud. H.R. 7721 Combating Regulatory Abuse, Closing Known Deficiencies, and Overseeing Waste Nationwide Act (CRACKDOWN Act): This bill would give the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) new power to freeze 100 percent of a state's child care funds for state administrative errors. Uses an arbitrary, low-risk threshold standard that isn't about fraud and eliminates state due process. This doesn't reduce fraud and would needlessly punish thousands of families who rely on federal child care assistance and destabilize a state's child care sector. H.R. 7723 Safeguarding Taxpayer Dollars in Child Care Act: This bill requires HHS and USDA to penalize providers unfairly, including permanently barring child care providers from receiving federal child care funds and participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). This puts providers who haven't committed fraud at risk of losing their business and could make them less willing to serve families with CCDF subsidies. This could have a chilling effect on providers serving families with subsidies, making it harder for these families to find the care they need. It also means that more child care programs could close altogether and more families--including those who don't use subsidies--will have a harder time finding and affording child care. Regarding CACFP, the bill would further undermine the existing and deeply flawed Serious Deficiency (SD) process to trigger disbarment from the entire program. CACFP ensures that the participating child care centers, family child care homes, Head Start programs, afterschool programs, and emergency shelters serve healthy meals and snacks. States currently administer CACFP with strong oversight systems created by USDA, designed to detect and prevent integrity concerns. SD is inconsistently applied and often triggered by minor errors--not fraud or misconduct--and should not result in termination from either CACFP or CCDF. H.R. 7726 No Funds for Repeat Child Care Violations Act: This bill would require HHS to permanently bar child care providers from receiving federal funds for non-fraudulent actions, such as incomplete paperwork, like missing signatures. This puts providers who haven't committed fraud at risk of losing their business if they serve families paying with CCDF subsidies. It could have a chilling effect on providers serving families with subsidies, making it harder for those families to find the care they need. It also means that more child care programs could close altogether, and more families including those who don't pay with subsidies--will have a harder time finding and affording child care. H.R. 7724 No Waivers for Fraud Act: This bill would eliminate HHS's ability to waive a sanction it has placed on a state. This flexibility is rarely, if ever, used but would be important to preserve for instances of capricious sanctioning of states without proof of fraud and more generally for unforeseen situations in which the Secretary and state agree that withdrawing a sanction is appropriate.

June 2, 2026. Dear Representative: We write to share concerns about the Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026 (H.R. 7726) that previously advanced out of the House Education and Workforce Committee as a package of eight bills. Child Care Aware of America (CCAoA) supports swift and thorough action when credible allegations of fraud arise. But any effort to strengthen current safeguards should do so without causing economic harm to families, communitIes, or the child care system. Unfortunately, several provisions in the bill would duplicate existing requirements, create unclear mandates, and ultimately undermine families' access to child care. At a time when child care prices remain extremely high for families, additional administration burden and cost may cause providers to reduce enrollment, withdraw from subsidy programs, or close altogether, further straining access for families who need care. We urge you to vote no on the Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026 (H.R. 7726). There are already robust program integrity processes in place within the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), with dearly defined roles for both federal and state agencies. Federal law and regulation require states to conduct eligibility verification, establish monitoring and enforcement procedures, review payments, investigate suspected fraud, and implement corrective action plans where needed. States must submit detailed plans outlining program integrity strategies, and they are subject to federal oversight. In addition, states already report extensive data on payment accuracy and program integrity. Under federal regulation, states must report the error rate, the percentage of cases with an improper payment, the percentage of improper payments, the average amount of improper payment, and the estimated annual amount of improper payments (45 CFR 98.100(b)). States are also required to outline procedures to investigate and recover fraudulent payments, which are different than improper payments or errors, and to impose sanctions on clients or providers in response to fraud. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has clear oversight authority, including reviewing state compliance, requiring corrective actions, and imposing penalties when necessary. The Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026 (H.R. 7726) would impose new sanctions, restrict flexibility, and potentially reduce child care funding to states. While accountability is important, reducing funding limits states' ability to operate the child care subsidy systems that millions of families rely on. These resources support access to child care, workforce stability, and the state administrative capacity needed to maintain strong program oversight. Excessive sanctions and rigid penalties may discourage child care providers from participating in the subsidy system, or related programs such as the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The result could be a smaller supply of child care for families. The bill's administrative requirements would also be costly to implement. Expanded reporting, monitoring, technology upgrades, and compliance obligations require significant staff time and system changes. Because these expenses are typically covered by Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) dollars, increased administrative costs leave fewer resources available for direct services. As a result, states may need to serve fewer children, adjust reimbursement rates for child care providers, or scale back quality initiatives. Increased compliance risk and reduced flexibility may further accelerate program closures, making it harder for families to access care. Our concerns apply to several of the sections of the Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026. Section 5, Improper Payment Rate Requiring Corrective Action Plan; Conditional Ineligibility, and Section 10, Fraudulent Payments, focus on reducing improper payments without making a necessary distinction between administrative errors and intentional fraud. That conflation requires states to adopt overly restrictive payment practices that destabilize child care provider operations, particularly for small businesses operating on thin margins. Section IO, Fraudulent Payments, would add new reporting and compliance requirements that increase administrative costs and divert funds from direct services for families and children. Section 6, Cyclical Monitoring of State Performance, duplicates existing federal monitoring and review requirements. Section 2, Strengthening the Authority to Withhold Funds for Fraud, imposes funding penalties that ultimately reduce resources available to serve families. Similarly, Section 4, Preventing Fraud in the Child Care and Development Block Grant Program, would limit flexibility that states currently use to manage complex program operations, potentially reducing child care supply. CCAoA supports thoughtful, targeted efforts to strengthen program integrity and prevent fraud. However, these efforts should build on existing systems, preserve clarity in federal and state roles, distinguish administrative errors and improper payments from fraud, and most importantly not punish children and families by destabilizing or defunding the child care system. As a result, we urge the Representative to oppose the Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026 (H.R. 7726). We welcome the opportunity to work with you on balanced solutions that ensure families maintain access to safe, affordable child care. Sincerely,

Mr. Subramanyam moves to recommit the bill (H.R. 7726) to the Committee on Education and Workforce with the following amendment: At the end of the bill, add the following: SEC. 11. EFFECTIVE DATE.

The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and on any amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion except: (1) one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs or their respective designees; and (2) one motion to recommit. SEC. 2. CLAUSE 1(C) OF RULE XIX AND CLAUSE 8 OF RULE XX SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2913. SEC. 3. THE CLERK SHALL TRANSMIT TO THE SENATE A MESSAGE THAT THE HOUSE HAS PASSED H.R. 2913 NO LATER THAN ONE WEEK AFTER PASSAGE.

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), Section 1. Pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), Congress directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from Lebanon by not later than the date that is 7 days after the date of the adoption of this concurrent resolution.

Eleven children have been killed or injured on average every 24 hours in Lebanon over the last week, the U.N.'s children's agency said on Friday, as Israel has expanded strikes across the country despite a ceasefire. Heavy Israeli strikes hit towns and villages in southern Lebanon overnight on Wednesday and into Thursday, after Israel declared a new swathe of the area a combat zone. It also struck a building in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Thursday. A total of 77 children have been killed or injured in the last seven days, UNICEF said, citing figures provided by Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health. Since the ceasefire began on April 16, 55 children have been killed and 212 injured, according to the agency. UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires called for all parties to fully respect the ceasefire. "Under international humanitarian law, children and civilian infrastructure must be protected," he said. The ceasefire announced by Washington was meant to halt the fighting that has raged between Israeli troops and Iran- backed Hezbollah since March 2. The U.N.'s World Health Organization also said on Friday that the threat from the expansion of military activities raised grave health concerns for the Lebanese population. Since the ceasefire took effect, a total of 27 attacks on healthcare facilities in Lebanon have been reported, resulting in 25 deaths and 42 injuries, according to the WHO. A total of 16 hospitals and 13 primary healthcare centres have been damaged in attacks, it added. Mr. MAST. Can we leave the military there? Ms. TLAIB. "Eleven children killed, injured every 24 hours in Lebanon." Are those children Hezbollah? Are those children terrorists? Mr. MAST. I would love to talk about your policies. To get back to your policy, "remove United States Armed Forces from Lebanon," can we leave no U.S. forces there? Does that mean we can't leave any marines in the embassy? Ms. TLAIB. Right now, the War Powers Resolution that I have is if they are engaged in hostilities. If they are not engaged in hostilities-- Mr. MAST. It says "remove United States Armed Forces from Lebanon." I am just reading what you wrote. Ms. TLAIB. It is very clear. This is about saving lives. They are able to stay there if they are not engaged in hostilities. Mr. MAST. That is not what this says. Ms. TLAIB. I think it is abhorrent every day that goes by where this Congress does not act, 11 more children would die or have serious injuries as a result of, again, us not pulling back any of the resources and so forth. Mr. MAST. Mr. Speaker, I am going to reclaim my time at this point. We didn't get an answer, apparently, as to if we can--because I am reading the gentlewoman's legislation here, "remove United States Armed Forces from Lebanon." That is just an example of how reckless her legislation is. It doesn't say anything about, yeah, you can keep the marines that are in the embassy, as an example. That is a pretty big oversight. It doesn't say anything about whether we can keep United States Armed Forces that are on training missions with the LAF--again, pretty big oversight. Of course, my colleague doesn't want to talk about the fact that the terrorists that Israel is killing there, that they do also use human shields. This is a well-known thing. Mr. Speaker, at this point, I will say that a vote for this resolution is a vote to support Iran, which I think I have to remind some of my Democrat colleagues is a bad thing. Supporting Iran is a bad thing. I see no acknowledgment over there. They are actually--my colleagues over here that would vote for this, they are serving as proxies for Hezbollah by bringing this resolution to the floor. Mr. Speaker, again, we are not at war in Lebanon. There are no combat forces to remove. There is nothing further to say. I urge my colleagues to vote against this bill and not be a proxy for Hezbollah. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair reminds Members to formally yield and reclaim time when under recognition. Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, section 5(c) of the War Powers Act, it is in there. You can just read it. It says if it is "engaged in hostilities." If U.S. Armed Forces are there and they are not participating in this ethnic cleansing campaign, then they are fine. If they are there training the Lebanese Armed Forces, they are fine. This is not what it is about. If you read the War Powers section 5(c), it is very clear. It is in writing in the law of the War Powers Act. It is really important that we understand and not get confusion. I want to share a so-called, I guess, Amal Khalil. This is a photo of a very prominent Lebanese journalist. Amal Khalil, she was targeted and killed. Amal and her colleague Zeinab were reporting devastation in southern Lebanon when an Israeli drone struck her car near them, killing two civilians. Amal and Zeinab sought shelter in a nearby building, but Israel then struck the building, trapping them under the rubble. But it gets worse. It gets worse.

Let us be clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, and the gentlewoman of Michigan and its members are butchers that you like to, you know, hang out with, to a certain extent.

Israel used white phosphorus to scorch earth in south Lebanon, researcher says When the M825-series 155mm artillery projectile bursts, expelling its felt wedges containing white phosphorus, it leaves a distinctive knuckle-shaped plume. That is how Human Rights Watch (HRW) researchers said they were able to verify that Israel was again using the notorious weapon over south Lebanon, reigniting accusations that it is breaking the laws of war. The New York-based rights group said it had verified and geolocated eight images showing airburst white phosphorus munitions exploding over residential areas in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor in the opening days of Israel's assault during the war on Gaza. Since then, more videos have emerged purporting to show white phosphorus munitions exploding over south Lebanon, and researchers say that with 800,000 Lebanese people displaced from the region after Israeli forces ordered them to leave, many more uses may have gone undocumented. In the last week, Israeli soldiers have been facing fierce resistance from Hezbollah fighters in south Lebanon, despite an intense bombing campaign. In recent days, Israeli forces have bombed roads, petrol stations, bridges and medical centres in an effort to cut south Lebanon off from the rest of the country. White phosphorus is a chemical substance dispersed in artillery shells, bombs and rockets that ignites when exposed to oxygen, burning at up to 800C and emitting large quantities of smoke. Military forces use it as a smokescreen to mask troop movements, mark targets or illuminate terrain at night, and military lawyers argue such uses are entirely legitimate. But its use over civilian areas is controversial--and some claim illegal--because it ignites fires, causes serious burns and emits toxic fumes. Ahmad Beydoun, an architect and PhD researcher at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, documented and mapped nearly 250 uses of white phosphorus by Israeli forces between October 2023 and November 2024, the last time they launched a full-scale attack on southern Lebanon. Beydoun, who said his count was a conservative estimate, found that 39% of uses were in residential areas, 17% in agricultural lands and 44% in forested or open terrain. "I think the Israeli army's thinking is that they use it to burn down fields for visibility, so that people or Hezbollah militants don't hide under the trees," he said. According to a report by the Lebanese non-profit Public Works Studio, white phosphorus was used to burn more than 2,000 hectares (4,940 acres) of southern Lebanese countryside, "including 873 hectares of dense forest with gum trees and vast areas covered with oak and pine trees". White phosphorus can also lie hidden in the soil and spontaneously combust when uncovered by farmers, posing a continuing threat if the people of south Lebanon are able to return to their homes. And the effects can also be systemic, the report warned, as repeated white phosphorus strikes saturate the soil with phosphonc acid along with toxic heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and zinc. Together, the report said, this accumulation "can reduce microbial diversity, deplete soil fertility [and] decrease agricultural productivity". A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said it could not comment on HRW's claim that it used white phosphorus illegally over Yohmor. "There may be visual similarities between smoke shells containing white phosphorus and smoke shells that do not, and caution is advised before making factual determinations regarding use of smoke shells with white phosphorus in individual cases based on visuals alone," the spokesperson said. Last week Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, reportedly avoided responding directly to HRW's allegations. "We do everything we can to minimise civilian casualties," he said at a media briefing at the UN headquarters in New York, according to Anadolu Agency. "That's why we actually asked the people from southern Lebanon, south of the Litani, to move to the north, to avoid civilian casualties." Beydoun said his findings suggested Israel's military may be using white phosphorus "as a way to maybe start pushing people out" to create a "buffer zone" on the Lebanese side of the border. It's just a practical tool to use to burn fields, I think it's mostly that," he said. "It's mostly for scorching the earth."

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. In total, the attacks killed four medics and wounded six more, from three different ambulance corps, according to medical sources. Three of the medics were from the Hezbollah- affiliated IHA and Amal-affiliated medical corps, while one was from the Nabatieh emergency services organisation. Under international law, all medics are protected and are considered noncombatants, regardless of political affiliation. Rescuers in Lebanon have long been wary of the double-tap attack, when Israeli forces target a location, wait until people gather to help survivors, and then strike again. Wednesday's three-wave attack after the initial one prompted the coining of a fearsome new term: the quadruple tap. In a video taken by one of the paramedics at the site, rescuers are seen loading two wounded people into their ambulances when a bomb lands next to their vehicle. Paramedics rush to extract the driver, who is motionless and limp as they pull him from the ambulance, which is splashed with blood. "Oh God, oh God," the man filming can be heard saying. They carry two more blood-covered medics out of their vehicle and on to stretchers. Among the paramedics killed was Fadel Sarhan, 43, who is survived by his eight-year-old daughter. "Fadel was a very loved person. He had a bold personality, but at the same time, he was emotional. He was well liked and responsible," said Ali Nasr al-Deen, the head of the Mayfadoun civil defence centre who grew up with Sarhan. "He used to feed the cats and dogs. He would bring pet food from Beirut so they wouldn't go hungry. He was that kind of person, caring and attentive. It's a huge loss for us," said Nasr al-Deen. Medics mourned their colleagues on Thursday at funerals in Nabatieh, a city near Mayfadoun. Such events have become increasingly common, with healthcare workers killed by Israeli bombings on a near daily basis. Mohammed Suleiman, whose 16-year-old son, Joud, was killed while on duty as a paramedic by an Israeli strike weeks earlier, joined his peers in burying another of his friends on Thursday. A few hours after the funerals, Israel carried out another wave of airstrikes on Nabatieh. Israel has so far killed 91 healthcare workers and wounded 214 more in Lebanon since the Israel-Hezbollah war started on 2 March. It has given little justification for its repeated attacks on medical infrastructure and workers, apart from accusing Hezbollah of using ambulances and hospitals to transport fighters and weapons, without providing evidence for the claim. The Lebanese ministry of health accused Israel of deliberately targeting ambulance crews. "Paramedics have become direct targets, pursued relentlessly in a blatant violation that confirms a total disregard for all norms and principles established by international humanitarian law," the ministry said in a statement. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A video of Tebnine hospital from 14 April showed workers trying to clear shattered concrete and debris from the emergency department after a strike blew in the windows. Commenting on the strike in Tebnine, the head of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said: "I reiterate the call for the immediate protection of healthcare facilities, health workers, ambulances and patients. There must be safe, sustained and unhindered humanitarian access across Lebanon." An ambulance in Tebnine was also struck on Thursday, leading to the critical injury of two medics, according to the Lebanese ministry of health. As healthcare workers watched their colleagues and friends being killed by Israel, the mental toll was becoming almost too much to bear. "We have to go to places to rescue people, but then we get double tapped," said Abbas Atwi, the head of the IHA's emergency department in Nabatieh, shortly after a medical centre was targeted in March, killing his friends and colleagues. "But we will stay and keep going, we will not leave." Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, this is Hussein Wehbe again. He was a 17-year-old. He was a volunteer. He was a first responder with the Lebanese Civil Defense. He was also a Boy Scout. He was killed while trying to save lives. The next person is Ahmed Hariri. He was also a paramedic and a photojournalist who was killed in a double-tap strike while trying to rescue injured survivors of an Israeli drone strike. He was killed alongside two fellow paramedics less than 2 days after the World Health Assembly passed a resolution calling for the protection of medical personnel in Lebanon. This is what our country is supporting, Mr. Speaker. This is the military we are coordinating strikes with and providing targeting intelligence with, a military that systematically is targeting and killing civilians. We must end the U.S. support of these war crimes. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. McGuire). The gentlewoman from Michigan has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining. Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. MAST. Mr. Speaker, again I will just reference the remarks of my colleague, examine what was said. She said that Israel is going scorched earth. I would just tell my colleague that if Israel--and by the way, this is after a little while ago she was saying they are needing the United States of America's intelligence. The context of this is important. If Israel was going scorched earth on them, they wouldn't need American intelligence for targeting. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. The sheer number of human lives that have been lost already in Lebanon is close to 4,000. We are talking about over 1.2, 1.3 million people forcibly displaced. If you even just look at the map, if we put up the map right now, you can see that bombings are happening outside of where they are claiming that there are security issues. It is important to know and please understand the impact of us allowing U.S., again, intelligence sharing, coordination, and support of this. I know some of my colleagues claim themselves that the U.S. is not militarily involved. I hear it all the time.
