Former Navy SEAL Sen. Tim Sheehy delivers a blistering Senate floor speech on Iran: 47 years of attacks on Americans, and Trump is the first president to hit back. He held up a bracelet for a friend killed by an Iranian bomb. Watch.

🚨 JUST IN: Speaker Johnson walks out and confirms the SAVE AMERICA ACT provisions will only need 50 votes + JD Vance in the Senate after the reconciliation package is sent over

LFG! 🔥

"That unlocks our 3rd reconciliation bill, which is Republicans' BEST shot to get as much of the SAVE America Act into law as possible!"

"Many of you doubted our success. Many of you standing around me in this gaggle right now said, let me read you a sample of the headlines. Quote, House Republicans face final week gauntlet, another said, Johnson's rocky sprint to recess."

"Another said, it was Johnson's make or break week, despite nearly every Democrat voting against everything I just read you, House Republicans delivered. Many of you like to say that major legislating can't happen in an election year. We just proved you wrong!"

"This week we continue to deliver for the people and we're going to continue that streak all the way through the end of this year and into the next Congress." @SpeakerJohnson

[Sen. James Lankford @SenatorLankford]

The leverage to end a shutdown should never be TSA agents and federal law enforcement missing paychecks. Those families have nothing to do with Congress failing to finish its work. My Prevent Government Shutdowns Act puts the pressure where it belongs: on Congress.

🚨 UPDATE: New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has just APPROVED the US military launching strikes against Iran from UK bases — Bloomberg

Great! That's what ANY ALLY should be doing. This comes as President Trump spoke to him upon assuming office

Bases include on Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

It was all hands on deck as DHS secured 78 Super Bowls in 38 days across 11 U.S. host cities.

Every @dhsgov component played their part to make the 2026 FIFA World Cup a huge SUCCESS. 🇺🇸

[Michele Tafoya @Michele_Tafoya]

I recently met a girl whose team lost the state softball championship.

The winning team had a biological male pitching.

Girls who have worked their entire lives for these moments deserve fairness and opportunity, not far-left politicians who are hell-bent on injecting radical ideology into sports.

🚨 NOW: Senator Mike Lee just spent the last nearly 90 MINUTES on the Senate floor trying to pass the SAVE America Act, laying out every way to get it done and calling on leadership to CANCEL RECESS

"Show who they are who they claim to be! Our right to vote, our most sacred incident of US citizenship requires NOTHING LESS."

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you, @BasedMikeLee!

[Criminal Division @DOJCrimDiv]

Co-Founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON and Ordered to Forfeit $15 Billion in Drug Trafficking Profits

"Today, narco-trafficker El Mayo was sentenced to life in prison, marking the end of his reign over the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most violent and deadly drug cartels in history. He will never again inflict carnage, corrupt public officials, or traffic deadly drugs into our communities that ruin Americans and their families," said @AAGDuva. "El Mayo's conviction is historic, and it reflects the Justice Department's commitment to the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations that threaten American lives. To those who remain: we will find you, we will prosecute you, and you, too, will face substantial time in prison."

Every dollar the Iranian regime gets its hands on fuels more terror. We need to work with our allies to cut off every single dollar.

That’s how we weaken the regime for good and ensure America’s security.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The FBI just walked out and said the leftist terrorist yelled anti-ICE derogatory words at agents, IGNITED GASOLINE in front of the federal building, and lit off an INCENDIARY DEVICE in NYC

This is a straight-up terrorist attack. MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT

The scum came in with KNIVES, AXES, a hammer and a pellet gun

"On his cart, he had anti-ICE literature. When he was being arrested, he yelled derogatory words towards ICE."

GOD BLESS THE AGENTS WHO CONTAINED HIM

"He came armed with bad intentions."

"The extremism today was brought here. The building was attacked. He was looking to harm people. He had 2 AXES, a hammer, a machete and 3 knives."

"He had 6 incendiary devices."

[NWS Tulsa @NWStulsa]

An extreme heat warning has been issued for portions of E OK and WC AR for this afternoon for heat index values in excess of 110 degrees. A heat advisory remains in effect for the rest of the area. #okwx #arwx

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

Proud to see our great nation showcased on the world stage during one of the world's GREATEST sporting events, @FIFAWorldCup.

People from every corner of the globe joined us in celebrating this simple truth: AMERICA IS AWESOME! 🇺🇸

Democrats should take note.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the largest sporting event in the history of the world, shattering previous attendance record by double digits. America- we got it done, ZERO major security incidents across our nation while we hosted the equivalent of 78 super bowls in 38 days, along with 40 base camps, endless fan zones, and celebrations in nearly every state.

President Trump promised his administration would deliver the most safe, secure, and fun environment for FIFA. He started by establishing the White
House FIFA Task Force some 16 months ago, and we got right to work.

This FBI led the charge dedicating nearly 5,000 personnel to the effort out of HQ, field, and international offices - across 16 host cities. And, none of what we accomplished is possible without our federal, state and local partners who all put in the same relentless effort. It’s the largest resource dedication the FBI has EVER made for a any event.

This FBI stood up a Joint Ops Center, International Police Coordination Center, Intelligence Coordination Center, and more - all from scratch- to collect and share intel in live time.

We established the first ever counter-UAS drone school, training members of law enforcement from across the country for the World Cup- we seized over 700 drones near FIFA airspace.

Whether it was UFC 250, SAIL 250, State Fair 250 or so many other events happening simultaneously- we DELIVERED the safest and most secure World Cup in history.

President Trump's leadership set the course, he led the way, and this FBI and our partners rose to the challenge- thanks to all our partners, @FIFA @DHSgov @WHTaskForceFIFA and their Director Andrew Giuliani.

@SenatorLankford PASS the SAVE America Act!

[Sen. James Lankford @SenatorLankford]

Only American citizens should vote in American elections, and voters should show ID to prove it. Oklahoma requires voter ID in person and on our absentee ballots. Every state should do the same. I have been an original cosponsor of the SAVE America Act and voted for it every time it has come up for a vote. It is not that hard. Every Democrat has voted to block it, every time.
