“What we’re building is an actual campaign against these cartels.” #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan shared with the Senate Armed Services Committee how SOUTHCOM aims to work with partner nations to counter the illicit networks of Designated Terrorist Organizations. @DeptofWar @USArmyWHC @AFSOUTH @MARFORSOUTH @NAVSOUS4THFLT @SOCSOUTH @jiatfs

Nearly 200,000 people using deceased Social Security numbers received SNAP benefits in just a subset of states. The program has been riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse. That’s why I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the SNAP Fraud Reporting Act to hold states accountable and protect taxpayers. Enough is enough.

Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, Mojtaba Khamenei’s regime executed 19 years old. champion wrestler, Saleh Mohammadi and 2 other protesters in Iran for protesting. You said they promised you to stop hanging protesters. They broke their promise. Remove mew Khamenei. Otherwise, he will remove hundreds of innocent protesters who are in prison, waiting to be executed by hanging in Iran. They have killed more than 32,000 in massacres. blinded 10,000 people, put 40,000 protesters in jail. They are one of the biggest threats to U.S. national security. They wanted to kill you. They wanted to kill me three times on US soil. We are safe because of U.S. law enforcement, but Iranians need protection. History will remember those U.S. presidents who stood with our murderers, and it will remember those who understood that removing terrorists is not a tragedy, but a sign of justice. Our national security needs true leadership. Please stand firm and finish the job. The Islamic Republic must end.

Good to hear Vladimir Padrino López was removed from his position — but replacing one regime loyalist with another is NOT progress. If Delcy Rodríguez truly wants to collaborate with the United States, she must stop recycling the same corrupt and brutal insiders like Gustavo González López. The Maduro regime will NOT fool us — we are watching every step.

NEW: Social media philanthropist, Jimmy Darts, helps raise $150,000 for a struggling family in Oklahoma. The young boy had previously gone viral after he told Darts that God had been good to him despite his family's struggles. "Amanda shared with me that she is only a month away from homelessness. She has no car, no money for groceries, and is doing everything she can to care for her children and grandchildren," Darts said on GoFundMe. "Her son Cody was with her, and through tears he shared that he’s been bullied at school, but still said that God has been good to him." God bless them. Video: jimmydarts / ig.

.@POTUS on military funding: "We have the strongest military in the world...The other night, they had 114 rockets shot at a certain location—highly sophisticated rockets...every single one of them was shot down with our equipment...It's a small price to pay to make sure that we stay tippy top."

Three Charged with Conspiring to Unlawfully Divert Cutting Edge U.S. Artificial Intelligence Technology to China “The indictment unsealed today details alleged efforts to evade U.S. export laws through false documents, staged dummy servers to mislead inspectors, and convoluted transshipment schemes, in order to obfuscate the true destination of restricted AI technology—China,” said John A. Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General for National Security. “These chips are the product of American ingenuity, and NSD will continue to enforce our export-control laws to protect that advantage.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/three-c…

@khamenei_ir Bro is using Starlink from hell 😂

This $8.5 billion partnership is a testament to the enduring bond between our two nations. These critical minerals are the backbone of tomorrow's innovation, and there's no better partner to do it with. Huge credit to Ambassador Rudd and the team for forging ahead on such a vital initiative! 🇺🇸 🇦🇺

"Was Iran developing a nuclear weapon prior to our military action last June and did Iran remain committed to developing a nuclear weapon in the lead-up to this conflict?" @CIADirector: Yes "If left unchecked, do you think Iran would have the ability to develop missiles capable of reaching the United States?" @CIADirector: "Yes."

.@CIADirector: "Iran possesses at least 440kg of uranium enriched to weapons-grade 60% — which doesn't have a civilian use. The only use for that would be the development of nuclear weapons."

Under @POTUS, @ODNIgov is driving a historic shift in intelligence collaboration and coordination. @DNIGabbard: “We have taken and coordinated the collection of individuals known and suspected terrorists… and inputted that into the TIDE system, which has radically increased our ability to identify cartel and gang members trying to enter our country.”

Three Palestinian women from the Masalmeh family were killed in an Iranian missile attack last night. We send their family our heartfelt condolences. This is a tragic reminder that Iran’s missiles do not distinguish between Jew, Muslim or Christian—they aim to kill us all.

.@SenMullin will make an exceptional Secretary of Homeland Security. My remarks on his nomination—delivered on the Senate floor today— here:

Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae reaffirms the enduring alliance between the United States and Japan: ✅ $550B in U.S. investments ✅ Record defense budget ✅ Golden Dome partnership The golden era of the U.S.-Japan alliance is real. 🇺🇸🇯🇵

With 31 prior arrests, Derrick Martin is a guy who deserves to be taken off the streets and he will be for at least 15 years.

Peace talks with Russia are still very much alive and there is no indication they are helping Iran. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.

Eid Mubarak - May we all embrace the spirit of Eid with an open heart and generous soul. The Board of Peace looks forward to a peaceful and prosperous future for Gaza.

Businesses are moving to Texas in record numbers – and out of high-tax, high-regulation states that crush opportunity. It was great to join so many Lone Star State leaders today at the White House to discuss how the America First agenda is helping them continue to lead in job creation and economic growth.

ICE HSI INVESTIGATION LEADS TO 5-YEAR SENTENCE IN CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL CASE ICE @HSI_HQ caught Ricardo Velazquez Reyes, of Pasco, WA, distributing files on multiple occasions that showed kids, some under 12 years old, being sexually abused. This material often depicts the worst day of a young child’s life, yet Velazquez Reyes distributed these horrific images and videos — gaining personal gratification from them. He began his five-year prison sentence March 10, to be followed by 15–years of supervised release. ICE HSI relentlessly pursues child predators to bring them to justice.
