I’m pleased to see the first federal building reflecting @POTUS’s vision of a classical architecture renaissance breaking ground in Chattanooga today.
I worked tirelessly to make sure we could witness this historic moment, and I look forward to seeing it finished.

Earlier this year, SBA removed about 700 firms from its 8(a) program – rooting out those that did not qualify as “economically disadvantaged,” as well as those who refused to share basic financial data for review.
Today, we shared those firms with @USGSA, which will scrutinize their past government contract awards for potential fraud, improprieties, and financial misrepresentation.
The Trump SBA will not tolerate bad actors exploiting federal contracting programs at the expense of honest small businesses or American taxpayers.
FRAUD UPDATE: Today, SBA is referring nearly 700 noncompliant 8(a) firms to GSA for review to evaluate potential fraud in their government contracting history.
This action comes as part of SBA’s broader effort to restore accountability to the 8(a) Program for “socially and economically disadvantaged” small businesses.

FRAUD UPDATE: Nearly 700 contractors suspended from a disadvantaged small business program by @SBA are now facing contract reviews by GSA.
Under President Trump and the @WHFraudTF, fraud has nowhere to hide.

GSA is ushering in the FUTURE of government service and the citizen experience.
@USGSA_Ed joined the Google Public Sector Summit to discuss America.gov, Project 410, and the new emerging tech GSA is using to improve how government works for the American people. 🇺🇸
As part of the @WHFraudTF, I'm proud to take this pledge and stand with the @VP and @POTUS in the fight against fraud. Working together, the Trump Administration is weeding out waste, fraud, and abuse wherever it crops up - saving taxpayer dollars and ensuring transparency in each and every program. We will continue to put Americans first and place fraudsters on notice.
Do you hate fraud?
If so, I’m calling on you to join me in taking the pledge to protect Americans from fraudsters, by doing everything in your power to ensure that:
1. Vulnerable Americans, such as the elderly, indigent, and disabled, are protected from fraudsters who seek to prey on them.
2. Taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, not illegal aliens or fraudsters.
3. Taxpayer-funded benefits are not used by fraudsters to buy mansions or luxury cars.
4. Public agencies and officials work tirelessly and aggressively, coordinating at all levels of government, to stop fraud before payments go out the door.
5. Fraudsters face justice for their crimes in a court of law. Convicted fraudsters will be imprisoned and barred from ever receiving another penny of taxpayer dollars.
6. Illegal alien fraudsters are promptly arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, and deported, never able to take advantage of Americans’ generosity again.
My Michigan trip took me from our @USGSA team in Detroit to the shop floor at Highland Engineering in Howell. Thank you to @SBA_Kelly and @RepTomBarrett for joining me to meet the small manufacturers powering local jobs. ow.ly/lMu950ZVS2z

On Tuesday, @USGSA_Ed joined @SBA_Kelly and @RepTomBarrett in Howell, MI to see how small businesses like Highland Engineering advance President Trump’s mission to build American and hire American.
Small businesses. American manufacturing. Big impact. 🇺🇸

Thanks to Highland Engineering for hosting me, @RepTomBarrett, and @USGSA_Ed today! Founded 40 years ago in Howell, MI, this 3-generation business has a 60-person skilled workforce that builds critical infrastructure for our warfighters. With the Trump Admin putting American industry and workers FIRST, they’re growing.
Fair Trade means Made in America is back. And the Working Families Tax Cuts mean NO TAX ON OVERTIME — allowing the hardest-working Americans to keep more of what they earn.
Ed Forst retweeted
At Highland Engineering and small businesses across mid-Michigan, people work hard to do their jobs and provide for their families. I proudly delivered no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, and other relief, and I’ll keep working hard to lower costs. Thanks to @SBA_Kelly and @USGSA_Ed for joining me to see the good work people are doing here in our communities.

At President Trump’s direction, GSA is rooting out fraud in federal procurement systems, ensuring transparency for every tax dollar. We will continue working with the @WHFraudTF to put the American people and products first.

It’s amazing to see the response to America.gov. The credit starts with @elonmusk. Thank you Elon for opening the door for tech to take greater interest in gov. You took a lot of arrows doing it. Wouldn’t be here without you.
Thank you President Trump @POTUS for your genius initiatives like this to fix things for everyday Americans, and @SusieWiles47 for supporting this effort since before the Executive Order 14338 last year.
Thank you Ed Coristine @as400495, Peter Arnell @arnelldesign and the entire team at National Design Studio. I admire your ingenuity, perseverance, and commitment to excellence you have shown shipping this historic new platform.
Thank you to Ed Forst @USGSA_Ed and the teams at GSA for partnering in such a profound way.
Thank you Cabinet members and your agencies who believe in making our nation a leader in the citizen experience.
With the platform established, now the work begins to radically upgrade the experience of living in America.

HISTORIC: America.gov is live! A new gateway to federal services, information, and benefits, putting government at the American people’s fingertips.
This historic and holistic approach to public service will not only enhance accessibility and clarity - it will make our government one that is truly of, by, and for the people.
GSA is proud to power America.gov in partnership with the National Design Studio.
The COVID emergency ended more than three years ago, yet fraudsters continue to weaponize outdated emergency contracts to abuse taxpayer money.
Working with the White House Task Force, GSA will end the fraud, ensure that bad actors face justice, and fight to recover every stolen dollar.
FRAUD UPDATE: GSA just uncovered $1.2 BILLION in suspected COVID-era contract fraud.
Under President Trump and Vice President Vance, there is no safe-haven for fraudsters - especially at GSA. gsa.gov/about-gsa/newsroom/n…
