NOW: VP Vance departs Virginia Beach after speaking to U.S. troops.

JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance delivers a powerful message of gratitude to United States service members, declaring that America's enemies respect the U.S. because they fear its military. "I've looked in the eye of a lot of bad guys, and those bad guys respect the United States because they fear you." "I want to say, as we get ready to celebrate 250 years of great American history, I want you all to know that that celebration belongs to you as much as it belongs to anybody in the United States of America."

VP JD Vance says America's military remains the country's ultimate source of strength, at home and around the world. Speaking to service members, Vance said political leaders are able to lead because America's allies and enemies alike know the U.S. military can achieve anything when called to action. "Bad guys and good guys, friends and foes, allies and enemies are afraid of you. They know that if we ask, you guys will go and make the impossible possible."

JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance receives a round of applauses from America's military after delivering a fierce message of support to troops in Virginia, promising clear military objectives and unwavering leadership from the White House: "I believe that you have a presidential leadership today that will never ask you to go to war unless he's telling you why you're going to war." "And most importantly, when he sends you to war, he gives you the tools you need to kick the hell out of the enemy and come home safely. That's what you deserve."

BREAKING: DOJ says it's intensifying its crackdown on "birth tourism" following the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says the practice is a "booming industry" and argues people who travel to the U.S. on tourist visas solely to give birth are violating federal law. He says the Justice Department will coordinate with the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations to target those cases while the administration continues its broader effort to restrict birthright citizenship abuse.

NOW: Vice President JD Vance kicks off his address to service members at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach with a joke about former President Joe Biden. "You know what I'm thinking as I'm coming down the steps is don't fall and bust your ass in front of all of you, and in front of all these cameras, because they would never let me live that one down." “I've got the angel on my shoulder saying, 'JD, don't be partisan. We're going to make this nonpartisan. And then I've got the devil on my shoulder who wants to talk about every time that Joe Biden fell up or down the stairs.”

BREAKING: "We've arrested 29,000 violent gang members since President Trump was sworn in." FBI Director Kash Patel says the bureau has helped dismantle 2,700 gangs nationwide since President Trump took office, calling it a 365% increase over the same point in the previous administration. Patel also said arrests tied to Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang are up 519%, with hundreds of alleged members arrested on charges ranging from kidnapping and murder to drug trafficking and firearms offenses. "We are safeguarding American citizens and American communities because President Trump decided to put law enforcement first."

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announces eight alleged Tren de Aragua members are now facing charges in connection with separate kidnapping and murder cases in Texas and Illinois. Blanche places the blame directly on the Biden administration, saying the crimes "should never have occurred" because the suspects all entered the U.S. illegally under his term.

NEW: The FBI has reportedly determined the original ransom notes tied to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance were fake, according to a new Reuters report citing two FBI sources. The report says investigators concluded the initial notes sent to media outlets were not authentic, though the FBI has not publicly commented and Reuters says it's still unclear how investigators reached that conclusion. Federal sources have previously distinguished those notes from later communications in the case.

BREAKING: President Trump declares the "denuclearization of Iran is moving along" following intense U.S. military action, while touting a surging stock market and a sharp drop in domestic energy prices. "The oil price is way down. We're down at 68. I see it hit 68 today. That's lower than when I started the, I guess you could call it an attack on Iran so that they never have a nuclear weapon.

"The Emir Tamim... said, 'No, no, I'd like to make a contribution to the country.' So, it was very nice."
