.@POTUS tells the story of Colonel John W. Ripley, a Marine Corps hero to whom he will soon posthumously award the Congressional Medal of Honor:
"Dangling beneath the bridge and over the rushing water... completely exposed to withering enemy gunfire, John completed, not one, not two, but five such trips."
.@POTUS at a Medal of Honor ceremony: "As we approach the 250th anniversary of our founding, we remember that we owe everything to heroes like those we celebrate today—men who went willingly to the darkest and most dangerous corners on earth to defeat evil so we could live free." 🇺🇸
"Thank you, President Trump."
Tulsi Gabbard says she just walked out of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence headquarters for the final time, marking her last day in the role.
"I remain grateful for the profound honor of serving the American people and our nation as the Director of National Intelligence."
After serving over a year at the helm of the intelligence community, Gabbard is closing out her tenure with a message of gratitude and thanks to President Trump.
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.

.@VP: "Donald Trump is much different as a human being than the media makes him out to be. He's very warm. He's a very loving person to his kids, to his grandkids. He's incredibly generous... He understands people at an instinctual level better than anybody that I've ever known. From a pure IQ perspective, he's a very smart person."
