Deputy Chief of Staff to the Secretary of War. 45 & 47 Defend the Homeland. @DeptofWar 🇺🇸

I visited the San Diego and El Centro border sectors to meet with the soldiers and Marines who are locking down the southern border. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, and the work of Joint Task Force Southern Border, our border is more secure than ever.

DoW National Defense Areas 4 & 5 are positioned directly across from major narco-terrorist strongholds in Mexico. Every day, Task Force Leviathan (San Diego) and Task Force Ram (El Centro) are disrupting drug and human trafficking operations, preventing illegal migrant crossings, and using advanced technology to detect and defeat drones.

Outside the @WhiteHouse this morning.

This is going to be off the charts.

Thank you President @realDonaldTrump.

The historic D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has made our Nation’s Capital safer than ever before.

[Sean Parnell @SeanParnellASW]

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is delivering massive wins for America. It has unleashed over $68 billion in private investment and created more than 94,000 new jobs.

Reconciliation 3.0 scales what was started. $350B will supercharge the Defense Industrial Base. The cost to re-start shuttered factories was monumental. Now we must keep them roaring at full throttle.

Today, sustaining these efforts means the cost of keeping these factories open will deliver more weapons and capabilities to the warfighter at a faster scale while continuing to deliver new entrants into the Defense Industrial Base.

This momentum is vital. We cannot afford to slow down even for a second. It’s time to pass Reconciliation 3.0 immediately and take the fight to the next level.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Thanks to the heroic actions of these National Guardsmen—our nation’s capital is SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL ONCE AGAIN!

.@SECWAR "This background noise is PERFECT—

It's the sound of INGRATES, of ingratitude—of people who are so BLINDED BY IDEOLOGY they can't see law and order and common sense in front of them. There is nothing ideological about this group...

LAW AND ORDER IS SOMETHING ALL AMERICANS DESERVE."

[DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse]

.@StephenM: "Each and every one of you has been a part of the SINGLE MOST SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY.

In twelve months, the crime rate in D.C. has gone from the highest in the WORLD—TO THE LOWEST RECORDED IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION'S CAPITAL."

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

I’ve designated the Ecuadorian gang Chone Killers as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist. Ecuadorian gangs help Mexican cartels move and export illicit drugs to fund terrorism and criminal activity. The Chone Killers have attacked civilians, law enforcement officers, and government officials, including high profile assassinations of public officials.

Working with President @DanielNoboaOk in Ecuador, we will continue to strengthen our regional security and ensure narcoterrorists have no place in our hemisphere.

[Congressman Pat Harrigan @RepPatHarrigan]

The Pentagon just unified command over nearly every drone program under one roof. Our adversaries have been operating this way for years while we argued over turf.

We are finally getting serious about catching up, and with $54 billion behind autonomous warfare in the FY27 budget, the resources are there to do it.

Great roundtable with @SecWar , thank you for you and your team's leadership on acquisition!

FOR THIRTEEN MONTHS.

ZERO ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO THE UNITED STATES.

All we needed was a new President—and a Secretary of War who put AMERICA FIRST.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

The U.S. military is working around the clock to airlift life-saving aid, first responders, disaster experts and heavy equipment to help Venezuela after back-to-back earthquakes devastated the country.

At least 1,430 people have died and more than 60,000 are missing.

"USA... thank you."
