- House Republicans kicked off the 119th Congress with a productive start, passing three minibus appropriations bills with strong bipartisan support (397-28) to fund key agencies like Justice, Commerce, Energy, Interior, and the EPA.
- These bills prioritize safer communities, affordable and reliable energy, and responsible resource management, helping avert a potential government shutdown.
- Fiscal conservatives and moderate Democrats successfully stripped wasteful earmarks, including one tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar amid concerns over Minnesota’s Somali fraud scandal.
- House Republicans demonstrated loyalty to President Trump by failing to override his vetoes on two bills—a Colorado water pipeline project and Florida tribal land expansion—viewed as blocking wasteful spending and political grudges.
- In a disappointing move, 17 Republicans joined Democrats in a bipartisan effort to extend expired Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years, bypassing the Speaker.
- The ACA extension is heavily criticized for removing the Hyde Amendment, potentially allowing federal taxpayer funding for abortions—a long-standing conservative red line.
- Senate Republicans, including Sen. Bernie Moreno, oppose the House’s ACA bill and are preparing their own conservative health care reforms.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
