✈️ JUST IN: The X-59 has gone supersonic!
The X-59 achieved supersonic speeds for the first time ever today — a major milestone for NASA’s Quesst mission and an important step toward upcoming flights that will demonstrate its quiet supersonic technology ahead of future community overflights.
Fast now. Quiet soon. 🔊➡️🤫

America answers the call. President Trump challenged us to deliver advanced reactors by our 250th anniversary, and today we’re already crossing a historic milestone — the first commercial non-light-water reactor gone critical in the U.S. in more than 40 years.
This is what American ingenuity and determination look like. The nuclear renaissance is here.
Happy to receive the US Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio.
We discussed sustained progress in the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership and issues related to regional and global peace and security.
India and the United States will continue to work closely for the global good.
@SecRubio@marcorubio
Secretary Marco Rubio has landed in Kolkata. This is his first trip to India. Later today, we will call on Prime Minister @narendramodi in New Delhi. Trade, Technology, Defense, QUAD, and many other items to discuss and advance over the next few days!
Today, Matt Anderson (@NASADepAdmin) was officially sworn in as NASA’s 16th Deputy Administrator. At a pivotal moment for America’s space program, he will help lead the agency’s work to advance scientific discovery, strengthen American leadership in space, and drive the missions that will return astronauts to the Moon and prepare for Mars.
NASA’s next chapter of exploration is already underway. https://t.co/taXteTrCog
A previous version of @GOP wanted to do the reverse of this, by removing the restriction on who can be @POTUS
All citizens should have equal rights. Any reason why @Schwarzenegger doesn’t deserve to be able to run for office ?
Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.
We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens. This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.
The people writing America's laws, confirming America's judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country.
For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first. We see it every day. This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.
I know that @SamikBJP will be a tad busy till March next year with all the municipal elections, including the critical @kmc_kolkata elections, but if they go well, he should to awarded with some key responsibility in the union cabinet or a governorship. I admire old school politicians like him. @BJP4Bengal
Congratulations to Shri Suvendu Adhikari Ji on taking oath as West Bengal’s Chief Minister. He has made a mark as a leader who has remained deeply connected to the people and understood their aspirations from close quarters. My best wishes to him for a fruitful tenure ahead.
@SuvenduWB
Describing well intentioned efforts aimed at protecting against viral
misinformation & possible harm to the Indian society under India’s IT Rules as “censorship” makes for a catchy headline, but a lazy argument in the op-ed piece by Arman Khan in @nytimes .
India takes pride in its credentials as the world’s largest democracy, with a written constitution, an independent judiciary, a vibrant English and vernacular press, and a long history of rights-based litigation.
Framing what is essentially about platform accountability as “free speech vs censorship” deliberately and disingenuously conflates different issues.
Always welcome an exchange of views on finding the right balance between free speech and accountability to further strengthen India’s cherished democracy. Unfortunately, prejudiced and partisan opinion is not a constructive starting point.

Why am I not surprised by this behavior? @MamataOfficial has shown a lot of dictatorial behavior in the past and this is just more of the same.
The fact of the matter is that @AITCofficial lost the election and @BJP4Bengal won. Instead of doing these shenanigans, they should go back and work towards winning the trust of people.
No amount of blaming SIR and @CEOWestBengal will help. In fact, people in Bengal and happy about how the polls were conducted as they could for the first time in many years, vote without fear.
A day after her party suffered a massive setback in the West Bengal Assembly elections 2026, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) that she will not resign as the Chief Minister since she “did not lose the elections”.

The people of West Bengal have delivered a historic mandate to the Bharatiya Janata Party, affirming their support for long-awaited development, good governance, and transparent politics. They have chosen the path of peace, prosperity and progress. I extend my heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to the people of West Bengal for this unprecedented mandate.
This victory stands as a testament to the trust people have in the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi , his welfare-oriented policies, and his unwavering commitment to the national interest. The tireless efforts, sacrifices, dedication, and perseverance of all BJP workers have played a crucial role in achieving this remarkable victory in West Bengal. Heartiest congratulations to Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi and all dedicated workers of @BJP4India on this success. I also extend my warm wishes to the BJP’s National President Shri @NitinNabin and State President Shri @SamikBJP on this historic win.
This mandate inspires us to work with even greater energy and resolve for the holistic and inclusive development of the state. This victory is not merely an electoral outcome, but the beginning of a golden future for the state. I am confident that with the BJP’s double-engine government, West Bengal will now move forward towards a new era of development and progress.
The Lotus blooms in West Bengal!
The 2026 West Bengal Assembly Elections will be remembered forever. People's power has prevailed and BJP's politics of good governance has triumphed. I bow to each and every person of West Bengal.
The people have given a spectacular mandate to BJP and I assure them that our Party will do everything possible to fulfil the dreams and aspirations of the people of West Bengal. We will provide a Government that ensures opportunity and dignity to all sections of society.

A year after Op Sindoor, look East. Militarise Nicobar and the island chain on priority…
The best thing about Munir is that he’s a big-mouth and gives his mind away..
Don’t miss the threat and turn east..

This is awesome! Congratulations @Boeing! It would be nice not to have Super Hornets refueling super hornets as buddy tankers. That's such an ineffective use of the platform. Can't wait to see the day when the MQ-25A refuels the F/A-XX! When does that down select happen?
A new era in naval aviation takes flight!
The first @USNavy MQ-25A Stingray™ has completed its first flight, demonstrating its ability to taxi, take off, fly, and land autonomously.
MQ-25A will extend the carrier air wing's reach by providing unmanned aerial refueling.
Amit Shah shifts focus from West Bengal to Punjab, with the drug crisis emerging as a key political and policy battleground ahead of the 2027 polls. A sustained push, including monthly visits, signals the BJP’s intent to make the issue central to its expansion in the border State.

Can’t wait. @USNavy is in desperate need of 6th gen platforms with longer range so that the carriers can be kept further away, thus minimizing changes of being struck by drones and missiles. All the best to @BoeingDefense and @northropgrumman
Well. Everyone needs to retire at some point and this was as good as a moment as any for Tim Cook to retire. What a fantastic job he did over these years in terms of value creation.
People complain that Apple no longer innovates like it did during Steve Jobs. But one needs to remember that how you run a Trillion dollar company needs to be different from how to run a much smaller enterprise.
Looking forward to see John Ternus' vision take shape and excited about what's next to come!
