It’s an incredible honor to take the oath of office as the 50th Vice President of the United States. I look forward to working alongside President Trump to serve the American people. Let's Make America Great Again!
Vice President JD Vance on the importance of fighting for our veterans:
“One of the most important things our veterans do is not just fight for their country, they fight for their fellow veterans. And let me say, as one veteran to the next, we are picking up that torch every single day. We will never leave our veterans behind. Ladies and gentlemen, that is my most sacred promise to every person here today.”
Under the Trump Administration, the @DeptVetAffairs is restructuring to put veterans at the forefront of every decision.
The Trump Admin is working tirelessly to provide our veterans with the resources and support they so dearly deserve. ⤵️

President Trump is once again restoring our great American military to greatness!
– Military branches averaged 103% of recruiting goals in 2025 - the best recruiting year in 15 years.
– President Trump eliminated DEI from Pentagon hiring and promotion - putting war fighting back at the center of the force.
– President Trump launched an unprecedented effort to rebuild our defense industrial base.
– President Trump has restored nine military bases to their rightful names.
Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.
Turns out all we needed was a new President!

For decades, globalist politicians hollowed out America's industrial base with bad trade deals. Under @POTUS & @VP, we have reversed the decline - once again becoming a nation of builders.
Today at SBA’s National Veterans Small Business Week event, @VP recognized that small businesses comprise 70% of the defense industrial base – including over 40,000 veteran-owned manufacturers.

In FY26, the Trump SBA approved $1.3 billion in loans for veteran-owned small businesses. We approved over 18,000 contracting certifications for veteran-owned small businesses to help them engage in federal procurement.
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @VP, small businesses across America are hiring and growing - creating jobs, driving innovation, and producing the American-made goods that keep our nation strong.
Veteran entrepreneurs have an important role to play in that comeback story, and the SBA is proud to support them every day.
