This is how Ukrainian intelligence officers train – to defend their land, their homes and their loved ones. To defend freedom and democracy. Support Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

On Saturday, the Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial opens in Washington, D.C., honoring the courage and sacrifice of American servicemembers who answered the call to defend freedom and helped liberate Kuwait. Their service will never be forgotten.

🌎 Twenty-five years ago today, #terrorism# sought to plunge the #world# into fear. It failed. We remember the innocent lives stolen on September 11, 2001, and the families and communities forever changed by that terrible day. We honor the first responders and all those who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable danger. The passage of time does not diminish our duty to remember—and it must never weaken our resolve. We will confront terrorism and violent extremism wherever they threaten our people. We will defend freedom, human dignity, and the rule of law. And we will reject hatred and division in every form. Our answer to those who seek to divide #humanity# must be unity. Our answer to hatred must be courage. Our answer to terror must be #peace#. Today, we remember those we lost. We stand with those who still carry the pain. And we reaffirm our commitment to a safer, freer, and more peaceful world. We remember. We stand together. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🇸🇰

🔴✝️ | Freedom of religion is a FUNDAMENTAL human right. Across Europe and worldwide, Christians are facing growing discrimination, attacks and systematic persecution. We cannot stay silent any longer. It’s time for Europe to step up, protect Christians and defend freedom of religion as a fundamental human right! The world must open its eyes. #DefendChristianity#

Our Grand Old Party (GOP) needs to take an honest look at where we go from here. Americans gave Republicans a governing trifecta and a mandate to put America First, economically and internationally. While there are some genuinely good results, there were important failures. Republican leaders repeatedly told Americans the economy was doing just fine, even as the cost of housing, groceries, and everyday necessities continued to strain family budgets. When the median home costs six times the median household income, telling people everything is affordable if you just work harder is insulting. Gaslighting did not lower the cost of gas, homes, or healthcare. I opposed the Iran War from day one. The young Americans who could be asked to fight our wars are among its strongest opponents. These same young adults are Americans having the American dream stolen from them. That’s our base and our future! Central planning doesn't work for economies or for politics. Washington cannot effectively dictate what voters care about or who their candidates should be. We had the mandate to tackle inflation and government waste, fraud, and abuse, but lacked the political will (or unity) to deliver. Speaker Johnson accepted some responsibility with dignity and swiftly stepped aside. I respect his example. We cannot expect different results from the same leaders. We remain in the majority until January 3, 2027. Republicans should be on offense through the end of the year, fighting for the principles and policies that won us the trifecta in 2024. Let’s keep calm and defend freedom. There is no substitute for victory.
