Today's anniversary is a day for mourning but also for renewing resolve. Over the last three years, Israel has demonstrated extraordinary courage, resolve, and skill in destroying the Hamas terrorists who committed the October 7th attack and in dismantling the Iranian-controlled terrorist armies that the Iranian regime had built across the Middle East. These operations were a necessary, measured, and just response to the attack, in which Hamas murdered and kidnapped dozens of Americans alongside over 1,200 Israelis and other nationals, and have immeasurably enhanced Israeli and American national security. As I said immediately after the attack, I am committed to doing everything in my power and using every resource at my disposal to ensure that America's policy is absolutely unequivocal: to ensure Israel has the military and diplomatic support to utterly eradicate Hamas, for as long as it takes.

.@altcap: "What an extraordinary day for the country. I don't think it's an overstatement to say that this is the biggest transformation in the social construct and the social fabric of America for these kids since 1935, when Social Security was passed."

.@MichaelDell: "We committed to children in America that we were going to contribute $6.25B — $250 to 25 million Trump Accounts for children in America. I'm very pleased to let you know today that we have funded ten million of those accounts, as of this morning. By the end of this week, we will have funded 25 million of those accounts."

.@POTUS: "Since launching in July, nearly eight million accounts have been created in three months. With today's announcement, we're building on that success by 70 million accounts of children across America — and they'll all be enrolled into the @TrumpAccounts."

Today is an important day for Trump Accounts. When I wrote this legislation, we had a simple goal: every child in America should have the opportunity to begin life with an investment account and a stake in the extraordinary economic engine that is the United States of America. That is why I deliberately drafted the legislation to provide for auto-enrollment—so Treasury could open accounts for all 70 million American children under the age of 18. For children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, the federal government will make a one-time $1,000 contribution to get them started. But the bigger idea here goes far beyond that first $1,000. For decades, we’ve talked about how to teach young Americans the value of saving, investing, and building wealth. Trump Accounts actually gives them the tools to do it. When a young person turns 18 and looks at an account that has been growing alongside them their entire life, capitalism is no longer an abstract concept. They’re an investor. They’re an owner. They have skin in the game. And my hope is that, decades from now, we look back at Trump Accounts as the beginning of an entire generation of Americans who became investors and owners from childhood. There is incredible momentum behind these accounts, and we are seeing more and more companies pledging to contribute to their employees’ accounts, which will only continue to help the next generation of Americans.

🚨 ICYMI: President Trump has officially signed Chairman @SenTedCruz's Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans Act into law. “Fishing is one of America’s greatest pastimes. A father teaching his children to cast a rod is a core memory that many Texans share. The MAPOceans Act will give fishermen reliable, up-to-date information and will make it possible to incorporate data into smartphone apps and mapping tools they already use. Instead of sorting through confusing or conflicting data, fishermen will be able to spend more time enjoying America’s waters with their families." - Chairman Cruz Read more about the MAPOceans Act here ↓

The claim that our college sports bill takes away athletes’ ability to get paid what they are worth is simply wrong. The old system, where everyone got paid but the athletes, wasn’t fair. As a conservative, I believe you ought to be able to reap the rewards of your labor. If you can sell millions of tennis shoes, you ought to be able to make millions of dollars. Our bill protects that right.

As a conservative, I believe you should be able to reap the fruits of your labor. If a college athlete is producing millions of dollars of value, that athlete should be able to make money. The Protect College Sports Act protects genuine NIL by statute.

🚨 Two of the most influential voices in college athletics are calling on the House to pass the Protect College Sports Act. Hall of Fame college football coach Nick Saban and longtime university president @gordongee: "Congress rarely gets the opportunity to strengthen a vital American institution with bipartisan legislation. This is one of those moments. "The Senate seized the opportunity. The House should do the same and send the Protect College Sports Act to President Trump’s desk without delay when it returns to session." Read their full piece in @PostOpinions ⬇️

I’m not worried about the superstars. I’m worried about the 99% of college athletes who will never play in the NFL or NBA, but for whom sports is their ticket to college. If Congress does nothing, we risk ending up with a mini-NFL of 30 to 50 rich programs while everyone else gets priced out. The Protect College Sports Act is about preserving those opportunities.

Texas A&M has produced generations of Texan, American, and global leaders committed to the values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless service. These young men and women received a life-changing education in Aggieland and went on to address significant challenges around the world. I am proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone with fighting Aggies everywhere and look forward to the university’s continued success. Gig ‘em!

I am grateful that the Mystic Alerts Act is now heading to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. The July 4th floods of 2025 were a heartbreaking tragedy that claimed lives across our state. My legislation will ensure that Americans in rural areas receive life-saving alerts when disaster strikes and traditional networks fail. I thank Senator @JohnCornyn for partnering to lead the Mystic Alerts Act in the Senate, and Senate Commerce Committee Chairman @SenTedCruz for advancing it through his committee. This marks a crucial step in updating emergency preparedness nationwide.

Exciting news, the Safe Access to Cash Act just passed the Senate! Ensuring that Americans have reliable access to cash is essential for small businesses, rural communities, and individuals who depend on physical currency for their daily transactions. This legislation guarantees that non-bank ATMs receive the same federal protections as bank-owned machines, providing much-needed security for the small businesses that host them.

I'm hearing troubling reports that the Texas State Board of Education is being pressured by CAIR to whitewash the history of Islamic conquest, expansion, and jihad. To my fellow Texas Republicans on the SBOE: do not back down. Do not bow to pressure. Texans students deserve to know the truth about Islam. The facts are on your side.

Today in Austin, I joined Michael Dell, Brad Gerstner, and dozens of Texas business leaders to discuss how employers can make a generational impact by contributing to Trump Accounts for their employees’ children. These accounts will fundamentally transform Americans’ financial security for generations, giving every child a private investment account that compounds over a lifetime. Thank you to Brad for bringing me the idea, President Trump for signing my legislation into law, and Michael and Susan Dell for leading the way with their historic $6.25 billion commitment. Texas leads the way.
