@SenFettermanPA Well said, Senator, you are one of the few in Washington to put America first over politics. God bless.

Operation Epic Fury. President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region. God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.

NEW: NSI Experts Weigh In: 2026 National Defense Strategy Link: thescif.org/nsi-experts-we… To better understand what the #NationalDefenseStrategy reveals about the administration’s approach to #defense, we asked our experts to weigh in, responding to the question: After reviewing the National Defense Strategy, what are your initial thoughts on the direction of U.S. defense priorities under this administration? David Bray Karen Gibson @JeffreyDLe Blake Locklar @JosephMoreno @hmossiii @georgemasonlaw+@GeorgeMasonU #nationalsecurity #dontmiss #foreignaffairs #foreignpolicy

@1stopwatch1 Point taken. While I think the Admin’s efforts will help American manufacturing in time, in the short term it is definitely disappointing.

@JosephMoreno You left out the trend in jobs loss this year since this administration came into office. And all his effort and talk about mfg jobs and they have gone done every month!

“It’s a very strained interpretation of that AUMF.” — Former Federal Prosecutor @JosephMoreno on the question of the Caribbean boat strikes.

@JuliaManch @WayTooEarly @MSNBC Always love hearing your insights, Julia. Hope you are doing well.

.@JosephMoreno bursts the liberal bubble on CNN about Jimmy Kimmel's suspension: “I don’t think this is a legal issue. I don’t think this can be pointed to the FCC or the trump administration and say, well, this is about them going after Kimmel because of what he said. Personally, I think it’s more of a cultural issue. And I got to tell you. I’m about as moderate a Republican as you can get. I’m from New York. I have not been comfortable watching late-night television for 15 years because when you have conservative leanings and you’re constantly mocked and you’re constantly feel like you’re doing something wrong, you shut it off. You don’t watch it anymore. And then what happens is it’s circular. If the host doesn’t have that audience, the host doesn’t worry about keeping an audience like that. It goes in circles. And, at some point, you get things like this where you say things.”

@NoahCRothman Fully agree.

Cox has done extremely well over the last 48 hours. Calming. Informed. Judicious. Human. He made the most of his moment, but not in a cloying or solicitous way. An impressive performance.

@JamesOdegaard @sfmcguire79 Agreed

@sfmcguire79 Beautiful piece of writing

Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk: “You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it. Slowly, then all at once, he did. College-age voters shifted sharply right in the 2024 election. “That was not all Kirk’s doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk’s project.” “Kirk and I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side on the continued possibility of American politics. It is supposed to be an argument, not a war; it is supposed to be won with words, not ended through bullets. I wanted Kirk to be safe for his sake, but I also wanted him to be safe for mine, and for the sake of our larger shared project. The same is true for Shapiro, for Hoffman, for Hortman, for Thompson, for Trump, for Pelosi, for Whitmer. We are all safe, or none of us are.”

@eliehonig Awesome, @eliehonig!

Unboxing. Feels good. a.co/d/bFMiGRh

@JayTownAlabama @radiancetechinc Awesome, @JayTownAlabama! You have an amazing career.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 HUGE PROFESSIONAL NEWS I am proud to announce that I will be joining @radiancetechinc as the Chief Compliance Officer! Radiance Technologies is an amazing company and so accomplished in the defense and intelligence spaces. I look forward to being a part of the team!

@AndrewCMcCarthy Andy you are a class act as always. Thanks for all you do, sir.

I appreciate the kind words and even the not so kind ones that were points well made. No pissing matches here. I've said many times, including on our podcast this week, that I was wrong in 2017 to assume gov't must have used its FISA powers honorably. Getting to the bottom of why I was wrong about something I thought I knew well - having been through the battle over The Wall as a terrorism prosecutor in the 90s (when I insisted it was irrational to believe even rogue agents would use FISA powers pretextually) - was why I wrote Ball of Collusion. The hardest thing about this work is trying to stick rigorously to the evidence, even when you have relationships (sometimes, even affection) for the people involved. I think I police myself pretty well on that, but I'm far from batting 1.000. And we all get stuff wrong from time to time. When I do, I try to own it, figure out where I screwed up rather than pretend it didn't happen, and apologize when that's appropriate. If there's a better way to handle the unavoidable, I hope I figure it out some day. Peace ... and a happy rest of the summer to everyone.

Proud to graduate today from the @us_awc with a Master in Strategic Studies, alongside great Americans of the class of 2025 dedicated to protecting our national security. @USArmy @USArmyReserve

@honestpollster @elonmusk Mark, you were spot on in last year’s election, so I believe when you make these projections. Do you think this is due to Dem out-of-party energy, or specific missteps by Trump?

Our message to Republicans... Democrats are on track to win in '26. It's going to take big things to prevent that. Plus, a plea to reconcile with @elonmusk

@TanyaRivero Will be watching!

Hi! I’m back anchoring next weekend 6/11pm and filling in this Wednesday at 12/5pm. Happy 4th of July weekend to all!

@SKMorefield @elonmusk Spot on, @SKMorefield

@elonmusk A third-party would just siphon off votes from Republicans. Big mistake. Keep changing the GOP. Though not perfect, Trump has it headed in the right direction.

Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy birthday, America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Not only is it such an honor to be a guest on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” it’s an amazing experience for my kids when they join. Thank you, @greta and @NEWSMAX for being so welcoming this week, Bridget had a blast!
