Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country. We need God’s grace. God help us.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

In honor of Charlie Kirk, President Trump is ordering all American flags throughout the U.S. to be lowered to Half Mast.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Our hearts are shattered. America has lost one of its greatest champions. A loving family has lost the most extraordinary husband and father. All of us must now dedicate ourselves to defeating the evil that stole Charlie from this world.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Rest in Peace, Charlie Kirk.

Casey and I are praying for his family.

Charlie was a warrior for liberty, and his murder is a tragedy for our nation.

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.

"The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!" - President Donald J. Trump

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

In honor of a great Floridian, Hulk Hogan, we are lowering the flags at the capitol and in Pinellas County tomorrow. Additionally, I am officially declaring tomorrow, August 1st, 2025, as "Hulk Hogan Day" in Florida.

Rest in peace, brother.

Happy Independence Day!

May God Bless our magnificent Republic and the citizens who nobly sustain and defend her.

[Max R. Rudin @MaxRRudin]

🎶 And I'm proud to be an American... 🎵

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Happy Independence Day, fellow Patriots!

I’m grateful to live in a country where we have true freedom — safeguarded and purchased by our warriors, past and present.

Long live the American Republic, especially those who protect her.

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Today marks the 249th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

We refer to July 4th as Independence Day, but the signatures of the 56 men on that Declaration did not establish independence; it merely asserted it.

There were many battles ahead.

The American revolutionaries faced long odds: they fought against the world’s leading power while the vast majority of their fellow colonists were either opposed to independence or indifferent.

And they had a lot to lose.

All 56 signatories were prominent and successful in their respective colonies. They weren’t engaged in meaningless virtue signaling — the penalty for failure was death. When the Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor in service to the cause, they meant it.

They were waging an essentially conservative revolution to restore what they considered to be ancient rights. That they articulated a powerful rationale for their actions — namely, that rights come from God, not government and that the legitimacy of government comes, not from the dictates of a king, but from the consent of the governed — proved to have enormous consequences for the cause of liberty.

In an age in which so much of politics is performative, we as Americans are lucky that the men who founded our country were willing to stand in the breach on a matter of great — and enduring — principle. They risked it all so that America could be free.

Happy Independence Day!

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS.

Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.

I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world. 🇺🇸

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Two thoughts this morning:

The operation last night is an incredible testament to American pilots and other service members, from General Caine and General Kurilla on down.

While the media has attacked the president's senior team relentlessly, and tried to sow fake division, last night would have been impossible without perfect coordination and discretion from the president's national security team. I'm incredibly proud of them, and I know the president is, too.
