Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Today we celebrate 250 years of independence and the enduring spirit of a nation founded on the belief that freedom is worth protecting. May we never take for granted the blessings of liberty or the generations who fought to preserve it. God bless America!

Happy anniversary to my beautiful bride, Susan. 39 years ago, I married my best friend, and every day since has been a gift. Thank you for your unconditional love, your strength, and for always standing by my side. ❤️

It was good to meet with Acting Attorney General Blanche to discuss his nomination to serve as the next Attorney General. I appreciated the opportunity to hear his vision for the Department of Justice and discuss the important work that lies ahead.

General Chris Donahue has spent his career leading from the front, earning the respect of Soldiers, Allies, and senior leaders across the Joint Force. Secretary Hegseth’s decision to force him out says far more about Hegseth than it does about General Donahue.

This is yet another unforced error from a Secretary leading the Pentagon with bro-culture bravado rather than restraint, humility and careful stewardship of the finest fighting force in the world.

Strong leaders are not threatened by accomplished commanders. Weak ones are. His paranoid micromanagement of senior military leaders and promotion lists is pure insecurity dressed up as reform. He is more interested in purging people he perceives as insufficiently loyal than empowering proven patriots who can actually lead.

This is not reinvigorating the warrior ethos. This is not a leader prioritizing merit. It’s sophomoric. It’s unserious. And it’s bringing great harm to our Department of Defense. Our military deserves steady, serious civilian leadership. Right now, it’s getting the opposite.

Being a father and grandfather is one of life’s greatest blessings. This Father’s Day, I’m grateful for my children and grandchildren, and for my dad, whose values and wisdom continue to guide me. Happy Father’s Day to all dads!

Thank you @USDOT @SecDuffy for approving over $900 million to @NCDOT, enabling North Carolina to rebuild roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure damaged by Helene. I appreciate Secretary Duffy and the Trump Administration's commitment to helping North Carolina rebuild and recover.

Proud to co-sponsor the NO FAKES Act and see it advance from the Senate Judiciary Committee with strong bipartisan support. This bill will help protect Americans from the unauthorized use of their voice or visual likeness for use in AI. I will continue to work with my colleagues to get this bill signed into law.

Cameron Hamilton did a great job in his confirmation hearing today. He demonstrated a strong understanding of emergency management and the importance of delivering disaster assistance when communities need it most. North Carolina will benefit from his focus on fairness and results at FEMA.

Susan and I are heartbroken by the tragic loss of eight lives in the B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base. Our hearts are with the families and loved ones of those lost, as well as the entire Edwards Air Force Base community. We honor their service to our nation and mourn their loss.

Happy 251st Birthday to the @USArmy! 🇺🇸 North Carolina is proud to be home to Fort Bragg, where generations of America’s servicemembers have trained, deployed, and defended freedom. Thank you to all who have worn the uniform, we are forever grateful for your service.

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

Great to see innovation improving veterans’ lives. @meta’s AI glasses program will help blind veterans live more independently, and it’s inspiring to see 82nd Airborne Division veteran Don Overton helping deliver this technology to fellow veterans nationwide. 🇺🇸

This is a huge win for North Carolina. @amazon’s multibillion-dollar partnership with @Corning will create 1,000+ new manufacturing jobs, support hundreds more in construction, and invest in the next generation of skilled workers. More jobs. More opportunity. More growth.

Jay Clayton is an OUTSTANDING choice by President Trump to serve as Director of National Intelligence. Jay is a proven leader with a distinguished record of public service and sound judgment needed to lead our intelligence community. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure his swift confirmation.

If the allegations are proven true, then she should be impeached.

Thank you, @SecMullinDHS, for keeping your promise to help North Carolina rebuild & recover after Helene. FEMA has now delivered $267.9M in Public Assistance funding, plus an additional $30M in Hazard Mitigation funding recently announced. This support will help WNC rebuild stronger than ever.

Today marks 82 years since American and Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy on #DDay. Their courage and sacrifice helped secure freedom and changed the course of history. We honor their legacy and will never forget.
