Excited to attend this @DeptofWar ceremony awarding so many fine American Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines protecting our border. Kudos to them and their great work on behalf of this country!

.@SecWar delivers remarks at a Pentagon Mexican Border Defense Medal Ceremony: "The Mexican Border Defense Medal was established in 1918 to stop other incursions and invasions, and so we’re not creating something new. We actually revived the exact same medal from 1918 to be given to all of you today as a reflection... We stand on the shoulders of other great Americans who defended this nation, and it always requires the real 1% to do difficult things, at difficult places." 🇺🇸

[Rebeccah Heinrichs @RLHeinrichs]

We are in a very dangerous period and the country should’ve boosted defense spending to 5/6% of GDP during the Biden admin when Russia invaded Ukraine. We should be on a war footing now.

[Mike Nelson @mikenelson586]

For the people who complain about Defense spending- we are at the lowest level of spending on defense readiness at any point since Korea- at a time the world is growing more dangerous

Rest in peace to our brave warriors. Never forget them or their families.

.@thejointstaff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine: "It is imperative that Americans understand that the character of war is changing. Advances in technology are fundamentally and irreversibly changing the way we fight, which necessitates capital to properly arm America's military."

The moment I realized Marco Rubio is a real one.

"I want Israel to destroy Hamas. They're vicious animals."

Accurate, precise, no bullshit.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

US Army Secretary Driscoll: 10-12 weeks ago I was in Germany on training with Ukrainians and I asked them, "Do you all have trouble syncing your sensors?"

The look that they gave me was like 13-year-old looking at their 85-year-old great-grandparent who can't zoom in on a phone.

And basically Ukrainians were like, "No sir, as long as it moves data through a wire and can access the network, we can hook anything."

We often invite Ukrainians to be our 'red team' or our enemy in training because they're really talented and we learn a lot from them.

So, what happened is, the day before, I was in one of the other Eastern European countries talking to President and Minister of defense.

They had just gotten this new counter-drone technology and interceptor, but one thing wasn’t working.

They were talking about how difficult it was for them to sync this new interceptor with their radars, sensors and command-and-control system.

While so many walked with a heavy heart this week, no one has carried more than @DarlineGrahamSC. The grace and purpose she has exhibited in the face of the unimaginable has been tremendous.

We sure miss you, @LindseyGrahamSC. And we thank you for raising an incredible woman who was ready to answer the call.

In DC, the budget is the war within the war. @JulesHurstIII has universally impressed balancing myriad constituencies with toughness and fairness. Congress needs to swiftly confirm. Jay is needed on the frontlines where a generational pivot hangs in the balance.

Innovation wins wars. Partnership makes innovation possible.  

Thanks, @SecArmy, for discussing how public-private partnerships are helping strengthen America's defense industrial base and deliver the capabilities our soldiers need.

[Senator Dave McCormick @SenMcCormickPA]

.@Saronic's @MavrookasD is spot on.

China controls 57% of global shipbuilding capacity. America has 0.1%. We cannot optimize our way out of that gap.

We need new shipyards and a defense industrial base built to produce at scale. American strength depends on American capacity.
