“The International Naval Review is more than a ceremony. It’s a display of maritime strength, shared purpose, and international friendship,” said Adm. Daryl Caudle.

“We train together. We operate together. And, if called upon, we are prepared to fight together.”

[Condoleezza Rice @CondoleezzaRice]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, our nation’s founders took an extraordinary step, declaring that liberty and self-government were the birthright of a free people. 

One of the most remarkable stories in human history emerged from that moment. 

For generations, we have carried forward the enduring belief that every person possesses inherent dignity and that freedom is the ingredient needed to unlock human potential. Across our nation, countless men and women have risen from humble beginnings to lives of extraordinary achievement. Our citizens, from every walk of life, have inspired innovation, enterprise, discovery, service, and sacrifice on a scale few could have imagined. 

As we celebrate our 250th anniversary, we honor those who built, defended, and strengthened this nation across the generations. The principles that animated our founding remain as vital today as they were in 1776.

May we reflect on the remarkable inheritance we share as Americans, and look with hope toward the future.

America’s strength starts with its warfighters.

This initiative will help strengthen our nation by connecting more Americans with careers in the skilled trades, growing the workforce that builds, maintains, and powers our country.

[Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN]

Proud to have @EllieCohanim on our side at @USUN.

Few know the Iranian regime like Ellie. Born in Tehran, raised in Queens—just like President Trump—she’s a fighter.

For America. Against antisemitism. For our freedom.

Glad to have her in the fight.

Tariffs can be an effective tool, but they must be combined with positive incentives for American companies to stimulate the U.S. economy. @RealEJAntoni

In a world of geopolitical tension and great power competition, how can the US turn its energy abundance into a strategic advantage—strengthening national security, supporting allies, and deterring adversarial aggression?

As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, we have a unique opportunity to reflect on the enduring relationship between freedom and human achievement. To explore this, the @HooverInst has launched a new series that I am privileged to host, "Only in America."

Throughout the series, I sit down with some of our nation’s most accomplished innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, and business leaders to ask a simple but profound question: Could your success have happened anywhere else?

For our premiere episode, I visited the NVIDIA campus to talk with my friend Jensen Huang. Jensen’s journey, from coming to America as a child to leading one of the most consequential technology companies in the world, perfectly embodies the spirit of this project. We explored the experiences, opportunities, and institutions that shaped his remarkable journey, from the vision that led him to found NVIDIA and the perseverance required to navigate years of uncertainty and skepticism, to the future of artificial intelligence and America's role in advancing it. As Jensen put it: "I am the embodiment of the American dream."

I hope you will watch this first episode and join us for this season-long exploration of the American idea in practice.https://t.co/vgEGbSBkbP

This is a new day in the Middle East, though it isn’t one without clouds. Strategic patience is hard, and it isn’t always satisfying. But time is on the side of the U.S. and its allies.

My thoughts on what we've accomplished in Iran: https://t.co/Tk8JjyC6MV
