I was honored to be aboard Air Force One last night on its final flight.
For nearly 40 years, it carried every President since George H.W. Bush. It wasn’t the most modern plane, but it was cozy. And every flight with President Trump was incredibly special.
Farewell and thank you, SAM 2900. You served all of us well 🫡🇺🇸💙🤍
Here in La Pryor, Texas at Rock Creek Ranch.
Joined by new Senior Advisor for New World Screwworm Preparedness John Bellinger and Southern Texas rancher Robbie, who spotted the first case and notified authorities immediately.
Robbie and his family at Rock Creek Ranch are the true stars today — their vigilance made all the difference. We're looking at Case One right now: the calf is doing great and fully recovered after about nine days.
Ranchers, keep your eyes on the cattle and report any cases right away. We've beaten this before, and with new tools and facilities coming online, we'll beat it again.

Ambitious is what we do at NASA.
Artemis III will be unlike anything we’ve ever undertaken. A multi-launch campaign bringing together the most powerful rockets in the world to test rendezvous, docking, and interoperability across multiple systems close to Earth before we return astronauts to the lunar surface.
This is how we get into the rhythm of the missions that follow. You give NASA and our industry partners a year, we’ll get the job done.
Introducing Artemis III.
Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.
In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.
America’s future will be driven by skills-based hiring, workforce readiness, apprenticeships, and upskilling.
Workforce Pell will expand multiple pathways to achieving the American Dream.
History in the making
In this new image from our @NASAArtemis II crew, you can see Orientale basin on the right edge of the lunar disk. This mission marks the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel.
The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: https://t.co/VVJqQrRz4a
Standing on the shoulders of giants.
As the Artemis II crew prepares for launch no earlier than April 1, they recently took a moment to pay homage to the Apollo 10 crew and the groundwork they laid for the Artemis II Moon mission.
The countdown begins.
Teams at @NASAKennedy have arrived to their stations at the Launch Control Center. We are about 48 hours from the launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. https://t.co/PqaR8eyxu4
