I hosted Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi at the Pentagon today.
To deepen our partnership, Iraq must assert its sovereignty and disarm the Iran-aligned militias responsible for 600+ attacks on U.S. personnel this spring.
The U.S. is also looking to the Iraqi Security Forces, including the Peshmerga and other Iraqi Kurdistan Region security forces, to lead in D-ISIS efforts as the OIR military missions winds down.
A secure Iraq opens the door to strong commercial and defense cooperation.
The Supreme Court has made clear that states can altogether ban “gender transition” procedures for minors. The @CivilRights Division told the Ninth Circuit that this rule should apply to private insurers, too.

Government actors cannot discriminate against viewpoints or restrict peaceful free speech just because it may be offensive to some. Under this administration, the @CivilRights Division will defend free speech, as protected by the Constitution.
I am in tears. Legendary racing icon Roger Penske personally gifted President Trump a racing helmet
"We hope that you wear this while riding around in the Beast when you're leading the field"
EVERYBODY LOVES PRESIDENT TRUMP
The guy who can’t even build 1 foot of train tracks with $120 Bn and 7 years in office is trying to take shots at the guy who is landing rocket ships backwards and catching them in midair with chopsticks?
Ok, bro.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
@PressSec Lowering housing prices alone isn't enough. The incomes of American citizens are what matter most. Many people work hard every day, yet they can barely afford rent and basic living expenses.
Every state and local election official is on notice – knowingly encouraging noncitizens to vote or conspiring to fraudulently register noncitizens is a federal crime. The @CivilRights Division is ready to help with compliance as American citizens deserve free and fair elections!
BREAKING: JD Vance Just Announced the Department of Labor has Filed DOZENS of Subpoenas and Launched Investigations Into H-1B Visa Fraud:
"Here's a simple principle. Ladies and gentlemen, American jobs ought to go to AMERICAN WORKERS, and NOT foreign fraudsters, and the Department of Labor is fighting back against it!"
@Muse94689587924@Cheering4Change@femmechengineer Even if someone maintains healthy habits and stays physically fit aging can still affect decision-making and cognitive abilities. There has been a lot of public discussion about Mitch McConnell's health and I think we'll eventually learn more about his actual condition.
