Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Well said, @SamBrownUSA.
I will be sharing my thoughts through the survey process and I encourage others to do so too.

Fellow GWOT Veterans-
I understand we all have strong feelings about the design concept of the GWOT Memorial. But remember who’s behind it: Rod Rodríguez, a 21-year Green Beret with 10 deployments from a multi-generational military family.
His grandfathers served in WWII, father in Vietnam, his wife served 21 years with 6 deployments, and his son deployed to the same parts of Afghanistan he did. He was medically retired from his own combat injuries.
Design co-chair Jennifer Ballou is a retired Army Master Sergeant, GWOT vet, and Gold Star spouse. While she was deployed in Afghanistan, her husband SSG Edwardo Loredo was killed by an IED just before his 35th birthday.
Not only have they both sacrificed more than most in service to country, they’ve gathered feedback from over 20,000 GWOT veterans and families.
This memorial is about honoring our fallen. Our collective personal preferences will never have 100% agreement, so we should resist trying to publicly destroy a concept that some will love, others dislike but regardless many Americans will see as a sacred place to honor those we loved who served and sacrificed their very lives.
Use the GWOT Memorial Foundation survey for constructive input. Leaders and those with influence should request private conversations and avoid public attacks that could prejudice so many others.
At the end of this process, our GWOT fallen deserve a memorial in a place of honor at the heart of DC. Whether it is this proposed design concept or one born out of feedback gathered now, let’s keep our focus on the mission of honoring those who gave their lives for us and the country they loved. 🇺🇸
Under President Trump's leadership, Veterans will be able walk into any @DeptVetAffairs facility across the country, access their records and receive care. Modernizing our record system is a long overdue improvement for our nation's heroes.
Today, we remember the heroes of D-Day - June 6, 1944.
Through extraordinary courage and sacrifice, American troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, defeated tyranny, and helped secure freedom for generations to come.
Their legacy lives on. America remains forever grateful. 🇺🇸
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs today announced a new clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of methylenedioxymethamphetamine-assisted therapy, or MDMA-assisted therapy, for the treatment of severe mental health disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorder.
“We need an all-of-the-above strategy when it comes to improving mental health treatments, and under President Trump, that’s exactly what VA is working to deliver,” said VA Secretary Doug Collins. “This trial represents an important step in safely evaluating new approaches and innovations to treat Veterans with severe mental health conditions.”

Wow, @SenDuckworth just said it plainly. She wants us to go dozens of miles to a big city like Atlanta to the VA just to spend hours there and be told they can’t see us. Only then can we go to a community care doctor in our own town. She doesn’t care about us, she cares about protecting government jobs at the VA. Sickening to watch this after we’ve fought so hard to get quality, competitive health care in our own communities. Thank you @SecVetAffairs for standing up for us!
.@SecVetAffairs: "VHA just got to the point to where... the leadership structure was not sustainable for the veterans... the local hospitals, the local clinics will have the ability to help the veteran that walks through the door. That's the metric that we use."
🚨 @POTUS announces a major expansion of https://t.co/qDpny1gZzN to feature more than 600 new generic prescription drugs — delivering even more transparency, choice, and savings for Americans.
.@GadSaad agrees with Orwell: it takes an intellectual to come up with truly stupid ideas. When academics are disconnected from reality or accountability, bad ideas spread like parasites. While STEM professionals have to answer for their mistakes, humanities professors build theories that no one ever has to test. That lack of accountability is exactly how toxic ideas take over a university and eventually a culture. If these professors can't survive the scrutiny of their own ideas, should they be teaching our children? Watch here 👉https://t.co/exAlMFJlca
60% of Veterans who die by suicide have had no recent contact with the VA. We're expanding outreach — UFC, MLB, NFL, rodeos, podcasts — to reach Veterans where they are. @DeptVetAffairs is here for you.
