Take a guess…
How long has President Trump been in office (don’t cheat!)?
Answer: 43 days.
Think about that for a second.
He’s working to revitalize America at a pace nobody thought possible. Democrats, the media, and even many Republicans can’t keep up. And he’s doing something totally unprecedented: he’s keeping his promises.
No President is perfect. Trump is not our political messiah. We have only one Messiah! But it’s worth stopping for a minute today as the President prepares to address Congress and the nation tonight, and consider what YOU and CV have helped him achieve…in a mere 43 days.
The pace of change has been so breathtaking. So we thought we’d highlight some of the most important victories to date.
This is why we took a big risk and went all in for Trump last year. Elections have consequences.
Here’s our top 10…so far:
- Ending the Humanitarian Crisis on Our Border: Trump has done what Joe Biden refused to do, and has shut down the massive flow of illegal migration, which means he has shut down massive drug, sex-trafficking and exploitation of countless lives that enriched cartels and ruined the lives of innocent migrants and American families. In February 2025, illegal border crossings plummeted to just 8,326 – a 90% decrease over last February’s numbers.
- Fighting for Life, One Policy at a Time: Forget the rhetoric – Trump’s administration is delivering. His executive orders enforcing the Hyde Amendment and reinstating the Mexico City Policy ensure taxpayer dollars won’t fund abortion at home or abroad… and he’s working to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood. We know more action is coming, with protections for conscience rights, and more. This is just the beginning…
- Pardons for the Pro-Life Heroes: For all the hand wringing over Trump on abortion, among his actions during his first weeks in office was to pardon 23 pro-life prayer warriors shamelessly arrested and jailed by Joe Biden’s abortion police. This wasn’t about legal loopholes – it was about standing with those on the front lines for the unborn. Trump sent a clear message: the First Amendment applies to pro-life witnesses too.
- Defending Women (and Men): President Trump issued an executive order reaffirming that there are only two sexes – male and female – in the eyes of the federal government. And Trump made it crystal clear that only girls should be playing in girls sports. In response to the growing push for gender ideology in schools, businesses, and federal policies, Trump is stopping the insanity and exploitation of vulnerable children.
- Putting America First in Foreign Policy: Under his “America First” agenda, Trump is hitting the “reset” button on U.S. foreign policy – ending DEI nonsense in our military, and warning the world that the U.S. won’t simply be the piggy bank for perpetual wars. His critics might call this reckless isolationism. But his “art of the deal” tactics are designed to put American interests first, and to ask hard questions about how a nation $36 trillion in debt can continue to finance military interventionism across the globe. Yes, this is important for Catholics.
- DOGE and Government Efficiency: Polling shows one of the most popular efforts underway is the work being done by Elon Musk and his team to cut through the red tape, eliminate waste, and revamp the way Washington does business. The reaction has been instructive. Far too many government bureaucrats have grown accustomed to business as usual. Tens of billions have been saved already. Again…in 43 days.
- USAID Reform: DOGE overhauled USAID’s operations to cut down on rampant waste, abuse, and cultural imperialism across the globe. Rather than pouring millions into projects promoting LGBTQ training in Serbia or combatting “binary-gender language” in Sri Lanka, Trump is redirecting U.S. foreign aid to align with American values. The Catholic Church has partnered with the government for many years delivering critical services to the poor and needy. They should be cheering this long overdue cleanup.
- Reinforcing Religious Freedom: From executive orders to address “anti-Christian bias” in federal agencies to forming a dedicated task force headed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Trump’s administration is battling for the right to practice our faith without persecution. No more FBI spying or calling parents “domestic terrorists.”
- Protecting Children from Harmful “Trans-Rights” Policies: President Trump took decisive action by signing an executive order to protect children from irreversible and harmful procedures associated with “trans-rights” policies. His bold move ensures that minors are shielded from potentially dangerous hormone treatments and surgeries, prioritizing the health and well-being of America’s youth.
- Delivering for Everyone: One of the most shocking stats I read recently was Trump’s popularity among…young voters. While most imagine Trump to be the president for old white people, the latest AtlasIntel poll shows Trump’s approval is soaring…among voters aged 18-29. Back in January, just 41% of this age group approved of Trump. Now, it’s at 52%! The kids like Trump too.
These victories are not only game-changers – they’re foundational shifts that will define the future of our country.
This is what we worked and voted for!
We’re all a part of this movement.
My biggest concern? That we actually do get tired of winning. And relax and become spectators.
