SpaceX's Starship rocket just successfully performed a flip maneuver and precisely splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean next to a buoy with @Starlink on it.
The SpaceX team ends the stream with a "USA! USA! USA!" chant 🇺🇸
@SawyerMerritt@Starlink This is unfortunate. Delta has to wait until 2028 before they can offer their customers equivalent service that is available today with Starlink.
Today we mark the anniversary of the Battle of Derna, a pivotal moment in the First Barbary War. In 1805, 1st Lt. Presley O’Bannon and William Eaton led a diverse mercenary force on an arduous 521-mile desert march to the Tripolitan port of Derna, initiating a daring land assault supported by the @USNavy.
The attack was a masterclass in resolve. Despite a malfunctioning cannon and heavy enemy fire, the American-led force executed a pincer maneuver that overwhelmed the city's defenses. By the late afternoon on April 27, O’Bannon personally raised the American flag over the harbor fortress, the first time the Stars and Stripes flew over foreign soil following a military victory.
This historic engagement birthed enduring Marine Corps traditions, most notably the Mameluke sword. After the battle, Prince Hamet Karamanli presented O’Bannon with his personal blade in gratitude, a design that remains the oldest ceremonial weapon in use by the U.S. Armed Forces today.
The "shores of Tripoli" are forever etched in the Marines’ Hymn, serving as a reminder of the Corps’ role as a primary protector of American interests. The valor displayed at Derna solidified the reputation of the Marine Corps as a formidable force capable of winning battles on any shore.

After 16 years of One-Party Rule, it's time to make our state Califordable. $3 gas. Lower taxes. A home you can afford.
California is READY for CHANGE!
🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.
(RET) (AF) Brig Gen John Teichert said on Fox News that Starlink terminals smuggled into Iran a few weeks ago, will be pivotal to the upcoming dissent on the ground inside Iran
Thank you Elon for Starlink 👍
Members of Congress use ID and a secure system to cast votes because high-stakes decisions require identity verification and an auditable record.
That’s standard practice when power is on the line. Public elections are upstream of all that power. They decide who gets to sit in those seats and press those buttons.
If identity verification is normal for lawmakers, it should be normal for the elections that put them in office.
President Trump is absolutely right.
The U.K. is showing WEAKNESS to China by giving away the Chagos Islands—which have an AMERICAN MILITARY BASE on them—all because Prime Minister Starmer feels guilty about his country’s history.
One year in, @POTUS@realDonaldTrump is delivering unprecedented results for the American people.
Tax deals, trade deals, and peace deals.
Under the President’s agenda, @USTreasury has:
• Passed the historic One Big Beautiful Bill, which made the Working Family Tax Cuts permanent
• Launched Trump Accounts to democratize the American Dream for the next generation
• Cut billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse
• Cracked down on terrorists, cartels, and illicit finance
• Begun the long-overdue work of rebalancing global trade
• Strengthened supply chains while protecting U.S. companies abroad
• Took decisive steps to make America the crypto capital of the world through innovation and regulatory clarity
President Trump has brought back American prosperity, security, and leadership.
The United States is once again the hottest country and the hottest economy in the world – and we are just getting started.
"It is against the city noise ordinance!"
Dearborn resident: Twice a day it's being heard inside closed windows a 1/4 mile away!
Why is this not enforced?
Why do they get away with this?!

UPDATE: Just leaving the @GOPoversight hearing on Somali fraud in MN.
This thing is crazy.
The Walz admin knew about the fraud & went after whistleblowers to protect it.
These MN officials that knew should be brought-up on conspiracy charges for defrauding the American people.
🚨 CAUGHT ON RECORD: British Lord admits Trump's National Security Strategy has the empire "on the ropes"—and reveals their plan to outlast him.
While media screams Trump sold out, the real enemy just confessed they're terrified.
Watch what they don't want you to see:
Gavin Newsom is lying. The deadline to revoke illegally issued, unvetted foreign trucker licenses is still January 5.
California does NOT have an “extension” to keep breaking the law and putting Americans at risk on the roads.
Miss the deadline, Gavin, and the @USDOT will act — including cutting nearly $160 million in federal funding.
