Can we also talk about the way @LindseyGrahamSC is dressed for a day at Disney? Odd.

The after action question for @SecWar is: who is getting fired for putting these LDHD assets inside a major threat ring? Lots of basic doctrine being ignored here by @CENTCOM, AFCENT, and/or the Wg/CC. Our Naval brothers/sisters get fired for much less…

@TheIntelFrog Hard to believe they put those assets inside a major threat ring 🤯

This was one of six E-3s based out of Prince Sultan, in addition to more than a dozen KCs and a few E-11s, well within range of an Iranian attack. The amassing of these assets at one location goes against the USAF Agile Combat Employment doctrine. Here are some relevant passages from page 9 found here: doctrine.af.mil/Portals/61/doc…

@DaleStarkA10 @joekent16jan19 Ok…Never thought I’d say it, but I’m cool with 25th Amendment. Give the keys to JD and let him bring this thing to a soft landing. The crazies have compromised Trump.

@joekent16jan19 This is insane

This is the pro Israel echo chamber in action. The Israelis need Trump to commit ground troops so we stay engaged in achieving Israel’s strategic goal in Iran. Israel is working against negotiations. POTUS should know better than to fall for this Iraq war tier propaganda.

@VivekGRamaswamy @amyactonoh You’re going to turn Ohio blue 🤦‍♂️

Ohio’s state-funded universities face an enrollment cliff, tuition is going up, and the value of a college degree is going down. We can’t ignore the problem & I’ve offered an actual solution to fix it, while my opponent @amyactonoh offers what she always does: absolutely nothing. My piece in the Columbus Dispatch this week: The race for governor of Ohio can be a positive opportunity to give voters a choice between competing policy visions for our state – and to have a healthy debate about the right way to improve Ohio. But we risk missing that opportunity in 2026: While I aim to offer clear policies to improve the lives of Ohioans, my opponent offers little more than cheap criticisms of my ideas while offering no solutions of her own. The recent debate about Ohio’s publicly funded universities continues that growing pattern. Ohio’s higher education system faces a severe enrollment cliff that threatens the future of our state-funded universities, and rising tuition costs are becoming unsustainable for Ohio families. The next governor of Ohio needs a real plan to address this growing problem, and ignoring it isn’t a solution. The facts are stark. America is aging fast, and Ohio is aging faster. The number of high school graduates in Ohio has peaked, hitting our highwater mark in 2024 with roughly 149,000 graduates. But by 2041, that number falls to about 124,000 – a 17% decline in as many years. Meanwhile, fewer Ohio students are choosing four-year universities – and understandably so. Graduate salaries aren’t keeping pace with climbing tuition and student debt. Just 47.6% of Ohio graduates in the class of 2021 enrolled in higher education within two years of graduation, down from 59% in 2015, while the total cost of attending Ohio's public universities has increased by nearly 50% over the past 15 years. Families across the state are feeling the strain. Despite these headwinds, Ohio still operates one of the most fragmented public university systems in the country, enrolling roughly 313,000 students across 14 public universities, 24 regional branch campuses and 22 community colleges. Florida, with about twice our population, only operates 12 public universities. That means Ohio is spreading its limited state dollars across too many bloated bureaucracies, and alarms are already blaring. Just last week, Lourdes University became the fifth private college to close since 2020. Meanwhile, public universities that receive hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding are feeling the impact of fewer students. In recent years, Cleveland State has cut staff and eliminated NCAA sports programs. The student count at the University of Akron inched up this past year but is at half of its 2010 enrollment level. Kent State launched a "Transformation 2028" restructuring plan last year in search of administrative efficiencies. Central State University remains on “fiscal watch.” While universities struggle to get by, other states have benefited from commonsense reforms. Consider Georgia, which adopted a sensible plan that reduced the number of state universities from 35 in 2011 to 26 by 2018. Notably, their process didn’t start with an agenda of consolidation for its own sake, or with targets set on certain universities. Instead, it began with a set of principles. Their leadership decided they wanted to expand access, reduce duplication, improve attainment and strengthen regional economic development. The results were better retention and more on-time graduation, without increasing tuition. That is what real reform looks like. Ohio should go further. As governor, I intend to lead a pragmatic reform that guides certain state-funded universities that suffer from under-enrollment to instead become “centers of excellence” – national leaders in a specific field – with the goal of offering a higher-quality education to students at a lower cost. Specialization creates distinction, and distinction attracts students. This will push our state-funded universities to work together, instead of in separate siloes. My first budget will propose to empower the Chancellor of Higher Education to conduct a statewide review, guided by clear statutory criteria, not backroom favoritism. It will identify where missions overlap, where enrollment collapse has made independence untenable, and where administrative functions can be unified without harming students. The chancellor will then return to the General Assembly with a concrete plan on a fixed timeline. Critics will say this threatens campus identity. This is an understandable concern, but it does not justify inaction. Georgia’s experience shows that campuses and local identities need not vanish, even if excess overhead costs do. A campus can keep its traditions and its local role without carrying the full cost of an outdated administrative hierarchy. The purpose of a university isn’t to sustain a legacy bureaucracy; it’s to educate students. When the structure stops serving that mission, the structure should change in a positive way. My plan will ensure that the dollars saved from administrative duplication go back to benefit students. Options abound for how to achieve this goal: Ohio could reinvest these dollars through the State Share of Instruction formula and tie that formula more directly to affordability, or improve the quality of instruction, academic experience and tuition relief in other ways. Skyrocketing tuition, cratering enrollment and declining quality of education are real problems that demand thoughtful solutions. While my opponent sneered on social media at my ideas, she offers absolutely no alternative solutions to help Ohioans. By contrast, I’m willing to start the challenging conversations we need to lead Ohio to new heights, in higher education and beyond. My plan will create a more competitive, increasingly affordable and rightsized higher education system for taxpayers and students. As other states have demonstrated, thoughtful reform can attract and retain more students, keep tuition affordable and better prepare graduates to compete for higher-paying jobs. There’s no reason Ohio can’t do even better. Either we reform our higher education system with purpose, or we watch it decline by default.

@EricaArndts Very nice!

Here’s a peak at my studio and what I’m working on today!

@SantinoCorleon Not even close. Just common sense.

I don’t condone what the kids be doing on the Banks during Opening Day. I actually feel sorry for them. They have NOTHING to do anymore. No malls, no pools, no parks for real with like BBall courts. No teen clubs. No rec centers no nothing. All this pent up energy and aggression

@thejohnettecruz Hopefully the tranny or engine doesn’t take a shit in the first 20K.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A black 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country made history Wednesday, March 25, 2026, as the 11 millionth vehicle to roll off the line at General Motors’ Fort Wayne Assembly plant. The milestone vehicle was purchased by fellow GM employee Ken Zawisa, who traveled to the facility with his father to drive the truck off the line and celebrate with the workforce. “It was exciting to find out my truck was the 11 millionth vehicle. I’ve probably told 100 people,” Zawisa said. “I’m proud as a GM employee that we’ve built this many awesome trucks. The employees at Fort Wayne Assembly are building something every day that is important to a lot of customers.” @93wibc wibc.com/882444/histori…

@LauraLoomer @SecWar @PeteHegseth Not without senate confirmation

SCOOP: US government official tells me SecWar @SecWar Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth is “seriously considering” the options for transferring a 3 or 4-star Marine general into the Army to possibly replace Gen. Randy George as the Army Chief of Staff. This would obviously be unprecedented, but it would send a very strong message given the fact that Gen. George was nominated to be Army Chief of Staff by Joe Biden in 2023. @SecArmy

@infantrydort Ain’t gonna happen! 🤣

Blessed be the GWOT era general who admits his faults openly. Humble. Willing to let the country learn from what he failed at. Blessed be that general. Find him for me, so that I may honor his rarity properly. For all the world to see.

This will be the last thing I post today because I have better things to do. What confuses me about these generals is their visceral reaction to what most of human history would consider classic strength of purpose. Brute force if you will. Should every leader be like that? Of course not. But what's telling about these generals is their complete and utter revulsion at any other leadership style than their own. They are intolerant. And most know they're intolerant. The ones that look past it are those who've conformed to their way of thinking. What befuddles me is their absolute denial of the fact that millions of people respond well to the type of leadership they revile in Hegseth. They can't explain it because it doesn't fit nicely in their "MOPS/MOES" worldview. It is intangible. I'm just tired of these weak takes. I'm tired of these generals who go out of their way to appear "measured". They are the living embodiment of the 'proportional response'. They are self styled masters of limited war. That's why they scoff at terms like "unconditional surrender". Because they have never and will never be equipped to prosecute the type of war necessary to achieve it. No. They just refer to those of us furious after GWOT, growing up in the shadow of their inadequacy, as "potential war criminals" because we finally get to shoot back. Look, I'm not trying to be as mean as these bitter generals. I'm not. But I'm just so sick and tired of being lectured at about what war means from people who couldn't be bothered to win one. They couldn't win then. They can't win now. And they will try to take down anyone they can at some final shot at relevance. Because maybe if they can get that one last verbal jab in, they'll finally get that little victory that eluded them on the field of battle. This cohort of officer must be removed from the service almost entirely. Notice I said "almost". Because even I see the value in the occasional corporate GOFO. But if this department is to change for the long term, it must shed most of this archetype going forward. They should be the exception, not the rule. I will not be convinced otherwise.

@LuisMorenolg Ha…yea, I’ve been hemmed up for missing a few in line markings before. You’d have thought the world ended. 🙄

I get tired of saying this, but if I, or any of my fellow TS/SCI cleared colleagues did 1% of this with a much lower classification-we’d be in a federal prison for espionage or even, worse. Just unbelievable.

@bdomenech @jimmykimmel And a comedian trying to moonlight as a political advisor for the nation. 🙄

When Markwayne Mullin was 20 his dad's health took a turn. He dropped out of college to run the family business. He built it from 6 people into a multimillion dollar HVAC company with 150+ employees. He's a pillar of his community, and @jimmykimmel can't even tell a funny joke.

@MeghanMcCain @yashar @KristiNoem blink three times if you need help!

Kristi Noem - you brought Corey Lewendowski with you to Guyana after just being fired from your last job after being asked in front of congress if you're in an unprofessional relationship with him.... GIRL WHAT IS YOU DOING?!?

@elcidwarhorse86 @Citadel1842 @DanLamothe Wait…he wrote a book?!

@JayScott82 @Citadel1842 @DanLamothe His book sucked as well.

The Citadel has selected General Frank McKenzie to serve as its 21st president. Read more about Gen McKenzie here: bit.ly/4d0vPVF

@MostlyPeaceful 🤣🤣 “reformed”

Insane. You couldn’t waterboard this out of me.

@HustleBitch_ He must be loaded!

Karoline Leavitt, 28, with her 61-year-old husband. Be honest… what’s your first thought?

@SebGorka @joekent16jan19 You’re not going to win this one.

Just got off the phone with an operator who served in the same T1 unit @joekent16jan19 served in. Got an earful of how he has always been a sycophant who leveraged his fake-MAGA obeisance to leap from being a tactical operator and failed Congressional candidate to a being a senior IC official. He made a great point I hadn’t even thought of. By undermining the man who was actually elected by 77 million Americans to be the Commander-in-Chief and who has sole strategic insight and responsibility for the security of America, Kent has selfishly undermined the future of any veteran who actually should be trusted with such a position and understands what it means to honorably serve the Republic out of uniform. Joe Kent prioritized himself over the will of the American People. Indefensible.
