A recent @NYCCouncil small business hearing on federal @SBAgov loan policy was nothing more than cheap political theater. @SBAatlantic Regional Administrator @MattColeman123 shares the #realdeal in @CrainsNewYork 👇 crainsnewyork.com/opinion/co… @SBA_NewYork @SBA_Kelly

Today, SBA introduced a proposed regulation to end racial discrimination in the 8(a) Business Development Program. Under the new rule, individuals will no longer be considered “socially disadvantaged,” and therefore eligible for the 8(a) program, simply because they are a member of a racial minority group. And no individual may be barred from the 8(a) program simply because they are white. sba.gov/article/2026/06/11/s…

Today, the SBA introduced a new proposed rule to formally dismantle the race-based admissions framework that effectively barred white Americans from accessing 8(a) set-aside and sole-source contracting opportunities. Under this new rule, no applicant can be admitted to or denied entry into the 8(a) program solely on the basis of race. Instead, every applicant must demonstrate actual social disadvantage, including discrimination caused by unlawful DEI policies in the public and private sectors. This reform will formally end the Biden-era approach to 8(a), when the program was weaponized to steer exclusive contracting opportunities to favored groups while shutting out other deserving Americans. Under the Trump SBA, lucrative federal contracting opportunities will not be granted on the basis of race, ethnicity, or personal politics. sba.gov/article/2026/06/11/s…

Nearly every American received a tax cut this year thanks to the Working Family Tax Cuts. That’s 29 million who benefited from No Tax on Overtime. 7.5 million who claimed No Tax on Tips. And at least 12 million small businesses that received an average of $7,000 in tax cuts. Massive relief is driving massive growth on Main Street.

American families, workers, and job creators claimed $82 billion in relief directly from the Working Family Tax Cuts. Those savings are being poured into small business growth across America – funding everything from new equipment to new buildings and new jobs.

Let’s be clear: the huge jobs numbers from the last three months are direct result of Working Family Tax Cuts and the $82 BILLION in relief they delivered. NONE of this hiring and expansion would be happening today without the Congressional leaders who joined @POTUS to block a $5 trillion tax hike. nypost.com/2026/06/02/busine…

Almost every US tax filer got a cut this year, coming to $82B in relief: Treasury Department

Without the new law, those same families would have been hit with a $5 trillion tax hike from the expiration of Trump's landmark 2017 law that slashed payments to the IRS for millions of Americans.

With another blockbuster jobs report for May and upward revisions for both March and April, @POTUS has added a MASSIVE 565,000 jobs to the economy in the last three months. Nearly ALL of that growth is coming from small businesses - which means that Working Family Tax Cuts are driving growth exactly as intended: for local job creators and hardworking Americans.

The Biden Administration tried to give de facto amnesty to pandemic fraudsters – shielding them from criminal prosecution while sticking taxpayers with the bill. The Trump SBA is working with DOJ and Treasury to compel repayment and hold pandemic fraudsters accountable under the law.

In 2023, the Biden SBA issued a report identifying $200 billion in fraudulent PPP and COVID EIDL loans. Yet for all four years, they did almost nothing to hold fraudsters accountable. If it weren’t for the @WHFraudTF, they might still be getting away with it.
