Shipbuilding, ship repair and port infrastructure investments are about all I think about, which is strange for a Hoosier farmer by birth.

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland. We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard. With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

National harmony.
I’ve probably watched this 100 times. Dan Shay need to sing the National Anthem before every big sporting event. Incredible.

Unlike the use of Constitution Hall and active duty military as the backdrop for a hate fueled speech against a political opponent? Cool it Francis.
I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

"...they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". The Lord walks among us as we approach our 250th Birthday in a land set aside by him to fulfill his purposes.

Totally cool moment. @Manda_Conda
As a lifelong Lord of the Rings fan, I never expected to hear Samwise's speech from the end of The Two Towers recited from the Speaker's Balcony. Yet here we are. Thanks for the visit, @SeanAstin!

🚨 The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, and Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano. The lawsuit challenges their: - “unconstitutional attempt to regulate federal law enforcement officers by criminally prohibiting federal officers from wearing masks, requiring individual identifiers, and functionally banning cooperative 287(g) agreements with numerous local law enforcement agencies dedicated to helping enforce this nation’s laws.” The DOJ said, “Not only is the law an illegal attempt to regulate the federal government, but, as alleged in the complaint, the law threatens the safety of federal officers who have faced an unprecedent wave of harassment, doxing, and even violence. Threatening officers with prosecution for simply protecting their identities and their families also chills the enforcement of federal law and compromises sensitive law enforcement operations.” "Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe, and they do not deserve to be doxed or harassed simply for carrying out their duties," said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. "Virginia’s anti-law enforcement policies regulate the federal government and are designed to create risk for our agents. These laws cannot stand." "Governor Spanberger cannot tell Federal officers how to do their job,” said Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward. "And she certainly cannot prohibit them from ensuring their own safety in conducting Federal law enforcement operations. Our suit today stops those unconstitutional efforts." "The Department of Justice will steadfastly protect the privacy and safety of law enforcement from unconstitutional state laws like Virginia’s," said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division.

This is the type of post election defeat social media that I can respect.
Enjoying my first cup of coffee since getting my ass kicked last night, and reading about how Dems nominated the guy with the nazi tattoo.

Absolutely not true. I have read the letters of enlisted soldiers of the Indiana 100th Regiment which very specifically state their opposition to slavery as the reason for their service and sacrifice.

This is the first time, and I am willing to be corrected, that we've had a NASA crew with a non-US national designated as "pilot". In the past, to my knowledge, foreign astronauts have flown only as mission specialists. Please advise if I am incorrect.

Introducing Artemis III. Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown. In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

Honestly I would have walked out the moment that I realized that they were going to use John Deere equipment as the scenic backdrop. That is an absolute non-starter for IH/Farmall people.
My interview with President Trump on Friday afternoon was unfortunately complicated by weather issues. In spite of those challenges, we still had a substantial conversation on issues from the Iran war to the economy to the so-called “anti-weaponization” fund. Tune in for the full interview this morning on @MeetThePress.

Unpopular opinion: Illinois can annex northern Indiana, and Chicago can expand its boundary to cover Hammond. This way, the Chicago Bears stay in Chicago and Illinois. 🫡

Promise made, promise kept. At the Davie Defense Groundbreaking Ceremony at Gulf Copper Shipyard in Galveston, TX, we’re delivering on the President’s commitment to restore American shipbuilding—thanks to strong industry and government partnerships.

The Davie Defense shipyard is going to create high-paying, skilled jobs across this region — jobs for welders, engineers, and technicians. I want to thank the leaders and the workers who helped make this possible. As Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, I made sure that the Coast Guard got the largest investment in its history – over $24 billion, more than double its entire annual budget – in the landmark Working Families Tax Cuts Act last summer. This shipyard shows that when you eliminate government bureaucracy and back it with real investment, opportunity inevitably follows.
