I’m grateful that my bipartisan legislation, Trey’s Law, passed unanimously out of the Senate Judiciary Committee today. Trey’s Law provides an important protection for child victims of sexual assault by ensuring they can never be silenced by nondisclosure agreements. No child victim should ever be silenced. I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to get Trey’s Law passed and signed into law.

@LDNRom @AndyTFE @SecretaryBurgum And?

@imjustabillman @AndyTFE @SecretaryBurgum The national links trust already had doak on board to restore it pro bono, which would all be done in the interests of people that use it. Instead they're paying fazio a fortune and the aim is to host a ryder cup.

Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design. Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

@AndyTFE @SecretaryBurgum Why on earth would you oppose renovating east Potomac?

@SecretaryBurgum 🤡

More to come. Rep. Jackson is committed to protecting and growing our House Republican majority.

Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas just transferred 700k to the NRCC at today’s political conference meeting, bringing him to $1 mil this cycle, per person familiar. It’s nice chunk of change for a rank and file R and a / possible sign of someone who may be looking to run for a top committee spot

Per sources a House GOP conference, talk of fundraising and redistricting this morning. One member tells me: “Ronny Jackson did $700K!”

@bigcontentguy As a Bryson hater and frequent player of cedar crest, it’s nice to see him get humbled by a course I can walk for $45 on the weekend

guys who will complain that he isn’t being shown on tv while 12 shots off the lead at the PGA Championship are gonna love this video

Patrick Bailey's OPS since the 2024 All-Star break: .533 Madison Bumgarner's OPS during his Giants career: .532

Thanks, Ted Turner (1938 – 2026), for giving us 'Gettysburg' (1993).

We lost the plot when we turned opinions measured in a consensus into objective data. Opinions have always existed in media. The irresponsibility comes from people turning opinions into objective data and presenting process and fact.

Alternate framing for this story: The lefty NGO network warehoused thousands of unemployable activists in high-salaried jobs for decades at taxpayer expense.

My friends at @SteaknShake continue to prove why they are arguably the best fast food chain in America. 🇺🇸

News: Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson is hosting a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago this evening that has raised $1.7 million, per a source familiar. A huge haul for a House member outside of leadership. This is also the largest single event and high-dollar fundraiser of his career.

i for one am shocked that there was no societal collapse from our dominant invasion of a terrorist nation

🚩France’s exclusion from the Washington Israeli-Lebanese talks should have been a diplomatic scandal, a historic ally locked out of the most significant Lebanon negotiation in thirty years. But Beirut didn’t protest, didn’t lobby for French inclusion, and didn’t even notice. That silence is the real verdict. France spent decades posturing as Lebanon’s guardian, hosting summits, drafting frameworks, and performing concern from the chandeliered rooms of the Élysée, while Hezbollah’s arsenal swelled from fifteen thousand rockets to two hundred thousand under the watch of French UNIFIL troops who enforced nothing. Macron proposed Paris as the venue for these very talks, drafted a recognition plan, and personally called Aoun, Salam, and Berri, and previously Mikati, to choreograph a French-led diplomatic triumph. Today, Lebanon and Israel are sitting across from each other at the State Department in Washington, brokered by Marco Rubio and mediated by the American Ambassador to Beirut, Michel Issa, who is of Lebanese origin and remains a Lebanese. France was not just sidelined, it was rendered irrelevant by its own record of performing diplomacy without producing a single enforceable outcome. The bridge Macron wanted to claim credit for was built by others, and the cruelest part isn’t that France was excluded, it’s that nobody in Beirut objected.

Can we just take a second here and admit something that the regime media and the foreign policy geniuses in Washington will never say out loud? President Trump just dropped the hammer on Iran—and it’s not just tough, it’s brilliant. Absolute chess move. After Tehran laughed in our face and refused to play ball on the terms we laid out—no more nuclear games, no more shaking down the world for passage through the Strait of Hormuz—Trump didn’t blink. He announced a full naval blockade of the Persian Gulf. No ships in, no ships out. And here’s the part that should have every oil trader and every globalist suit sweating through their overpriced suits: he’s redirecting those tankers straight to the Gulf of America. Buy American oil. Pay in U.S. dollars. End of story. Why is this genius? Let me break it down like the simple truth it is. First, it ends the extortion racket without sending a single American boot into another Middle Eastern quagmire. Iran thought they could turn the world’s most important oil choke point into their personal toll booth. Wrong. Trump just flipped the script: you don’t control the flow anymore. We do. The same Navy that’s been babysitting the planet for decades is now finally working for us. No more free security for countries that hate us while they get rich off our protection. Second, it supercharges American energy dominance. We’re sitting on more oil and gas than anyone else on Earth. Block the Gulf, prices spike everywhere else, and suddenly every country that needs crude—Europe, Asia, whoever—has one logical place to go: right here. Gulf of America terminals firing on all cylinders. American workers. American profits. American dollars. The petrodollar doesn’t just survive; it gets a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart. While the rest of the world scrambles, we’re printing money and telling our enemies to pound sand. Third, it exposes the whole rotten global order for what it is. For years, we’ve been told we have to play nice, subsidize everyone else’s defense, and let hostile regimes dictate energy prices. Trump just said: no thanks. This isn’t “escalation.” It’s accountability. Iran wanted to play pirate in international waters? Fine. Now they get to watch their economy choke while American energy booms. China and India want cheap oil? Better start buying it from the country that actually produces it instead of funding the mullahs who hate us. The usual suspects are already screaming about “warmongering” and “oil prices” and how this is all so very complicated. Spare me. The complicated part was pretending America wasn’t the strongest kid on the block. Trump just reminded everyone—especially our adversaries—that we don’t have to beg or bribe or negotiate from weakness. We set the terms now. This is what America First actually looks like when it’s executed by someone who means it. No forever wars. No blank checks. Just raw, unapologetic leverage that puts American workers, American energy, and American strength first. And the best part? The Iranians are the ones who forced his hand. They chose this. Trump just made them regret it. God bless the guy. In a town full of people who couldn’t negotiate their way out of a wet paper bag, he just reminded the world who runs the table.
