🚨 JUST IN: President Trump signs an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to SAVE 13 coal plants across 10 states
Biden tried his hardest to CLOSE these plants. Trump's rebuilding them better than ever.
"Today we're officially invoking the Defense Production Act to save 13 coal plants in West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Tennessee, Arizona, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota and Wisconsin."
"Our action will allow these facilities to invest in upgrades that will extend their operational lives for decades into the future, reinforce the reliability of our electric grid, and most importantly, keep electricity prices VERY LOW for the American people."
On Thanksgiving Day, I love reading George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation.
"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor..."

🚨 EXCLUSIVE — WHAT HAPPENED AT CAMP MYSTIC: I joined Gov. Greg Abbott to survey the catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country aboard a National Guard Blackhawk
Gov. Abbott gives a detailed account how rescuers saved COUNTLESS lives at Camp Mystic, and what made the operation so difficult. Gov. Abbott even gave a heartfelt message to the Mystic families.
Also also checked the status of rescue teams, and even radioed for help for a man who needed rescuing on the ground.
@GregAbbott_TX is INCREDIBLY engaged in rescue and relief efforts, as well as coming up with solutions to prevent this from happening again.
We spoke about the response, why it was successful (compared to disasters such as Western North Carolina), and the effectiveness of President Trump’s assistance. Starlink and its crucial role in restoring comms came up too.
KEEP PRAYING FOR THESE FAMILIES! 🙏🏻

Richard “Dick” Eastland and his wife, Tweety (not pictured), purchased Camp Mystic in 1974 to be a wonderful place where Christian girls could visit, make friends, and learn about Jesus.
On the still dark morning of July 4, he rushed to the banks of Lake Guadalupe to rescue little girls in his camp, but was swept away by the rushing water. His courage and sacrifice is a testament to his love and dedication.
His wife, Tweety, was found safe in their home. Please pray for her, and for all who love him.

According to the EIA, Virginia is the largest importer of power from other states, and Georgia is the fifth largest importer. Reg utilities in those states are not keeping up with demand. Biggest supplier? Restructured Pennsylvania. https://t.co/TqLyU0MEuJ

Having spoke with Sen Vance's office during the response to the Norfolk Southern Chemical Spill and Fires #disaster, many of these long-term health impact questions could have been avoided if USEPA and state officials took correct actions.
Tragically, that didn't happen.
Now $10M is being made available by @DHHS for people to study long-term health impacts. Hopefully, something good comes out of that.
🐘🐘🐘BUT, let's address the elephant in the room.
Long-term health impacts wouldn't have been an issue if government officials acted in the best interest of public safety and the people.
There were egregious errors by people at all levels.
🟠Misinformation was spread by USEPA employees.
🟠In some cases, USEPA employees knew what was being said was not correct ---- and didn't speak up.
🟠Senators and the White House weren't being told what was actually happening.
🟠Firefighters were sent in and got sick.
🟠Cleanup workers were sent in and got sick.
🟠CDC employees were sent in and got sick.
🟠Some local media pushed press releases as they were fed them by government agencies.
🟠Some research teams sat on the sidelines for weeks and watched it all unfold, while others drove in to help.
🟠There is more....
It was the worst disaster response I've ever witnessed. Full stop.
To date, I know of no officials who have been disciplined or fired.
Americans should 100% expect something like this to occur again if nothing changes within federal or state agencies. To my knowledge, nothing has changed.
The new administration has the potential to catalyze change. The questions is:
❔Will they catalyze change in a positive way?
I hope so.
And I'm happy to provide the expertise and experience that is very much needed for that positive change to whomever wants to be part of the solution.

.@SecDuffy on reforms being made to Air Traffic Control: "I have increased the pipeline of students coming into the academy— the best and the brightest, the highest scorers get in first— and then I'm asking current air traffic controllers, who have been on the job for 25 years to stay on the job. We're going to pay them a 20% bonus."
