[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

The United States stands with the people of Venezuela after yesterday’s devastating earthquakes.

At President Trump’s direction, I immediately mobilized the War Department to work alongside the @StateDept to support the Venezuelan people. Our mission is clear: save lives and rapidly deliver critical aid where it is most needed.

The United States is committed to our hemisphere. When the lives of our friends are on the line, America moves.

USA. A diner. The waitress asked me how I want my eggs, and my mind went completely blank.

"How do you want your eggs, hon?"

Want. How do I WANT them. No one has ever asked me this. In my land, the egg arrives as the cook decrees, and you thank the egg, the cook, and your ancestors, in that order.

"Scrambled? Over easy? Sunny side up?" she offered, gently, the way one talks a man down from a roof.

The terms did not help. Over easy — over WHAT, easily? Easy for whom? Sunny side up — these people have named an egg after the dawn. Who does that. I needed time.

I have chosen battlefields faster than I chose those eggs.

She refilled my coffee and said she'd come back. It was the second refill. I had been deciding for nine minutes.

The man on the next stool leaned over. "Just say over easy, man. You can't go wrong."

"And if I CAN go wrong?"

"...it's eggs, buddy."

It's eggs. Eight hundred years of my family training itself to want nothing, and this man dismissed all of it with a fork in his hand. He was right. I will never tell him.

"Sunny side up," I declared, with the weight of a man choosing a path for life. "I will face the sun."

"You got it, hon."

The eggs came. Two small suns on a white plate, looking up at me. Golden. Ridiculous. Exactly what I wanted.

So THAT is what wanting feels like. I had to cross an ocean and hold up a breakfast line to learn it.

The man on the next stool got his check and left. "Good choice," he said.

I have never been more proud of anything.

A man does not ask the eggs to be simple. He only becomes a man who knows what he wants.

Tomorrow: over easy. I am almost ready.

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

Any time I make a post about rape, there’s always at least one person in the comments who thinks that the behavior of women is the cause of rape, so let me make one thing very clear. The only person who is even slightly responsible when a woman gets raped is the rapist. I don’t care if she’s passed out naked in the street — that’s a medical emergency, not an invitation to passing men to insert their dicks.

If you are such a worthless piece of sh!t that you can’t control yourself because you suddenly have the opportunity to victimize someone, then at the very least you should spend the rest of your life in prison. You certainly don’t belong out here in society with the rest of us; you clearly can’t be trusted to treat others with even the most basic respect for our shared humanity.

No means no. Stop means stop. And if your partner isn’t capable of giving clear, enthusiastic consent, you keep your fvcking hands to yourself.

Polite notice to those urging me to show blind tribal allegiance to a party that's screwed over female nurses who want to change in a female-only space, female prisoners housed with male sex offenders and female rape survivors who want an all-female support service: nope.

This is an appalling case. The woman involved, “Ruth,” was raped by her partner, a West Midlands police officer, and even though he had secretly made an audiotape in which listeners could hear her being raped, she was charged for making a false report and with “perverting the course of justice.”

Prosecutors did not play the recording for the jury, but referred to what can only have been an inaccurate and incomplete transcript of it. This false transcript claimed listeners could hear the victim laughing and consenting, when in fact that part of the audio came from a porn movie had been playing in the background.

When her defense attorney played the actual tape, the entire courtroom could hear Ruth telling the rapist to stop, saying that it hurt, and begging him to take it out. The jury took less than an hour to find her not guilty.

That isn’t the end of the story. The police officer who raped Ruth will not be charged, even though he admitted to raping her in open court.

Instead, the rapist is suspended from West Midlands Police on full pay. Later this year (and he’ll be getting paid the whole time) he will have a misconduct hearing — not because he raped Ruth, but because secretly recording her may have violated the police code of ethics.

I have rarely seen so obvious or so deliberate a cover-up. Nothing will happen to the man who raped Ruth; he will get away with what he did to her, and so will the people who prosecuted her, even though the judge believes that "the whole prosecution was launched on a false basis,” and asked police to re-open the investigation.

Instead, Warwickshire PD “reviewed” the case (Ruth was not re-interviewed), and now claims that there “isn’t enough evidence” to support a rape charge — although the tape and witness statements were somehow enough evidence for them to decide to prosecute Ruth. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

Here, then, is the story of a “false” allegation, and I’m sure that if Ruth’s lawyer hadn’t been thorough enough to have the tape analyzed, there would be men calling for Ruth to spend the rest of her life behind bars, or even to be executed, and pointing to her as an example of a false accuser.

The fact that there isn’t enough evidence for a charge or a conviction does not mean a rape did not occur. Charging women with false reporting under those circumstances serves only to ensure that fewer women will dare to report having been raped — which, of course, is what that kind of man wants.

I find it extremely telling that men of that sort don’t care about false murder allegations, or false allegations of robbery, or burglary, or any other crime, even though the majority of those crimes are also committed by men. Only rape gets them all worked up, although rape allegations are far less likely to lead to a conviction even when they’re true.

When people deliberately and maliciously make false accusations of any crime, they should be - and are - charged for doing so. This push by some men to punish false rape allegations with draconian cruelty, when they are totally unconcerned with other, more common types of false accusation, is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate women into not reporting rape and sexual assault to law enforcement.

President Trump, on behalf of the Venezuelan people, thank you for this consequential conversation with you and your administration, one that reaffirms Venezuelans’ deep trust in the United States and in your leadership.

Together, we will build a free and sovereign Venezuela: America’s most reliable and secure ally in the hemisphere.

Thank you, Mr. President.
