THREAD: My name is Chuck Nadd. I deployed twice to Afghanistan as a US Army Aviator. Last Wednesday, as the situation in Kabul was deteriorating, like so many other vets, I looked for ways to help. (1/16)
We have the greatest military in the world
Great to meet these West Point cadets today - and face off in an impromptu push-up challenge
I’m going to be sore for weeks
The cadets at @WestPoint_USMA live a life of commitment, courage, and character every single day. Today, on Thanksgiving, my gratitude goes out to them wherever they are.
My request for you is to watch this video so you can hear and fully understand the cadets' love of community and country.
God bless them.
The Department of War surpassed FY25 recruiting goals.
106% of active-duty targets met.
50k+ @USNationalGuard enlistments, hitting over 433k+ total end strength.
Strongest recruiting year in 30 years.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

In light of today's tragedy, we revisited the conversation I had with @charliekirk11 four years ago when he was our guest at @HarvardHBS's Free Enterprise Club.
He knew the stakes. And he fought the fight for his beliefs regardless. That’s heroic.
May God provide peace to his family.
Elevating excellence! So glad
@SecDef is allowing the service academies to recognize world-class performance, even in the rare occasion it happens at the
@NavalAcademy.
Go Army! Beat Navy!
Congratulations to U.S. Naval Academy grad and U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Lt. Rayuan Lane III.
He is now officially on the Jacksonville Jaguars' 53-man roster.
We are so proud of you.
To the Ivory Tower AI Doomers, AI is anti-human and job destructive.
That's their choice.
Our experience is AI makes human taste and talent exponentially more valuable.
We've watched AI unleash human agency and creativity.
That's how you give the American worker superpowers, and that's why we created the American Tech Fellowship.
You want to bet on the American worker? Arm them with AI and let them BUILD.
@Apple data point: today marks 5,090 days since August 24, 2011, which means that @tim_cook has now been at $AAPL longer than Steve Jobs was after his triumphant 1997 return!

Who says @WestPoint_USMA and @NavalAcademy grads can't get along?!
It was great to come together with US Senators @DaveMcCormickPA (USMA Class of 1987) and @ToddYoungIN (USNA Class of 1995), as @DaveGalluchPA (USNA 2012) and I build Fired Up PAC to encourage more military academy graduates to continue their public service in the halls of Congress!
Though having @HungCao_VA (USNA 1996) join us meant the Army grads were outnumbered, I couldn't be more excited about the work ahead to promote our shared values of Duty, Honor, Country, and selfless sacrifice. Beat Navy!
Life is Beautiful!

Can you imagine a unified, patriotic reaction like this from the media in America in 2025?
Watch how CBS News covered a military parade in Washington, D.C. in 1991.
We live in a totally different country and media environment now.
Today marks the 9th anniversary of Justice Antonin Scalia’s passing. With his indefatigable commitment to constitutional originalism and textualism, Justice Scalia helped build what is the modern conservative legal movement. Thanks to him, we think about the law and the role of courts much differently than we did a generation ago.
“They call it the living Constitution...I will call mine an enduring Constitution, one that doesn't change, one that has the force and the meaning today that it had when it was adopted. But the living Constitution, as I told you, is popular not only among lawyers, judges, and law professors, it has drifted down to the people.”
