During my 20yrs serving, I never once had a SecDef/SecWar work out with his troops. You don’t have to be the strongest, fastest, or best at your craft to be a leader. You just have to lead by example. @SecWar doing just that. You gotta respect that regardless of your political stance. Last SecDef I respected (for other reasons) was Robert Gates. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen this high of morale in our junior rank workforce. @PeteHegseth

UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.

‼️Without going into details, Zelenskyy hinted that they talked with Trump about Crimea, among other things: President Trump’s words today were absolutely right, especially about our Crimea. It all started with Russia’s seizure of Crimea, and if there had been strong leadership back then, this war just wouldn’t have happened. _______________________________________ “I just talked to the President of the United States, President Trump. I wished him a happy birthday and congratulated him on American Army Day. Today, there are two holidays in America, and we had a really good conversation. It wasn't just about congratulations; we talked a lot about key topics like the war, its roots, diplomatic possibilities, and proposals from our partners. We spoke for a long time and in great detail. All Ukrainians have one wish for President Trump: that we finally achieve peace and succeed together with America and all our partners. This is the most important thing we all want. It's crucial that American society fully supports our Ukrainian desire for a decent peace and backs us in defending against the Russian war. And President Trump's words today were absolutely right, especially about our Crimea. It all started with Russia's seizure of Crimea, and if there had been strong leadership back then, this war just wouldn't have happened. I thanked the President of the United States for all the assistance that America provided. We've arranged to meet with him in Europe in the coming days. There will be Group of Seven meetings. Of course, Ukraine, our defense, and our ability to achieve peace will be among the main topics” Ukrainian President on Sunday, June 14th, 2026.

HEGSETH: The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won't seek one, won't buy one, won't have one BRENNAN: The JCPOA said that too HEGSETH: But they didn't have the threat of military force the way we do that Iran respects. President Trump led with military might.

I have just had a great conversation with @POTUS. I congratulated President Trump on his birthday, and we have had quite a detailed discussion about many key things – peace, surely, was among them. I wished President Trump every success, above all in his work to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. I also thanked him for all the support America has been providing to Ukraine, and it does matter that we remember with gratitude every step of that support – from Javelins to Patriots. We discussed things that could help bring about peace now, and I informed the President about the latest developments on the battlefield and how our position has strengthened. We agreed that we will discuss more during our meeting at the G7 Summit. We have some good ideas that could help advance peace and protect lives. Thank you!
