PRC vessels collided into each other Aug 11 while conducting dangerous maneuvers near Scarborough Reef. We condemn this latest reckless action by China directed against 🇵🇭 vessel BRP Suluan and commend @coastguardph for their professionalism and their offer to render assistance.
An amazing day 25 years in the making! My emotions were nearly overwhelming as I commissioned 2Lt Edward Ash, the Air Force’s newest Security Forces Officer. Special thanks to my friend, Lt Gen Deanna Burt, for presiding over ERAU’s commissioning ceremony. CONGRATS 2Lt Ash!
In July, CO was selected as the rightful home for @US_SpaceCom. Now, Space Command is at Full Operational Capability and our national security is stronger as a result.
U.S. leadership in space is more critical than ever - I’m pleased that our state will continue to lead the way.
Colorado Springs is the best place for Space Command because it’s already at work here. And with the news that it’ll reach full operational capability in August, there’s no doubt our push to keep it here was the right one.

Congratulations to Mayor-elect Yemi Mobolade for his victory in the Mayoral elections! We look forward to working with the mayor-elect in promoting the economic prosperity of our region to position Colorado Springs as the best city in the United States to live and do business.
@CSCEDC “The Space Command siting decision has been a political football for the past four years.” @CSCEDC knew this in 2019 and charted a path to prepare the community to advocate for what’s right for national security. Thank you Chamber & EDC!
Many of us in Colorado have known for 4 years that the location of USSPACECOM was a "political football" and politics was overriding national security. Thanks to @SenatorBennet & @SenatorHick for getting @JoeBiden attention on protecting national security!
Very pleased to say that this column has no @washingtonpost paywall! A tale of how Biden is moving to undo a Trump political play that could harm our national security. https://t.co/HTEBG3cAGu
Thank you Sen Hickenlooper! Keeping USSPACECOM in CO is right for national security. Previous administration had to fudge a lot of data to justify moving it.
We’ve asked for two years to meet with Secretary Austin about the flawed proposal to move Space Command out of Colorado. Two years later, we’re still waiting. That’s why we voted against Mr. Owens’ nomination today. Keeping Space Command in Colorado is too important.
Thank you Sen Bennet for standing up for Colorado! Keeping USSPACECOM in CO is right for national security. Previous administration had to fudge a lot of data to justify a move.
The @DeptofDefense has repeatedly ignored my request for a meeting with Secretary Austin about the Space Command basing decision.
For that reason, I voted against Brendan Owens’ nomination tonight, and will consider holds on other Pentagon nominees until a meeting takes place.
Thanks Steve Urban for inviting me to join your podcast! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The @riderflex podcast series highlights several leaders with inspiring stories.
