In a rare display of bipartisan agreement, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the 'No Tax on Tips Act,' a bill that would exempt up to $25,000 in tips from federal income tax for eligible workers.
The legislation, championed by Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada), fulfills a key campaign promise of former President Donald Trump, especially significant in states with large service industries like Nevada. The bill received a 100-0 vote, indicating strong support across party lines. The measure now heads to the House of Representatives, where it is expected to pass either as part of a larger package or as a standalone bill.
If enacted, the law would provide substantial financial relief to millions of tipped workers in the hospitality and service sectors.

Finally, some common sense in DC—let hardworking Americans keep more of their own money instead of letting the government nickel and dime every tip they earn!
This just goes to show that Trump keeps his promises and actually puts money back in the pockets of hardworking Americans—something the career politicians never bothered to do!
