  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: WATCH: Vice President JD Vance's Rededicate 250 message: “I always ask people to pray for wisdom and for courage for their leadership. Pray for wisdom that we know the path God wants us to walk. Pray for courage that we have the ability to walk that path.”
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: The latest filing by the New York Times, while dressed up to look like a constitutional challenge, is nothing more than an attempt to remove the barriers to them getting their hands on classified information. They want to roam the halls of the Pentagon freely and without an escort - a privilege that they do not have in any other federal building. The Department's policy is completely lawful and narrowly designed to protect national security information from unlawful criminal disclosure.

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: Zakończyłem rozmowę z @PeteHegseth. Sekretarz Wojny USA potwierdził, że nie zmienia się zaangażowanie Stanów Zjednoczonych w obronę i bezpieczeństwo Polski. Nasze relacje wojskowe są silne i zostały dziś jednoznacznie potwierdzone. Wielokrotnie w trakcie rozmowy usłyszałem, że Polska jest modelowym sojusznikiem i w pełni może liczyć na Stany Zjednoczone. Trwa proces przegrupowania sił i środków armii USA w Europie, ale żadna decyzja o zmniejszeniu zdolności wojsk amerykańskich w Polsce nie zapadła. Decyzje, które są podejmowane nie są w żaden sposób wymierzone w nasze strategiczne partnerstwo. Pentagon przygotowuje właśnie nowy plan rozmieszczenia swoich wojsk w całej Europie. Umówiliśmy się na dalszą współpracę nad wzmacnianiem bezpieczeństwa Polski i docelowym modelem obecności wojsk amerykańskich w Polsce 🇵🇱🤝🇺🇸
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: STATEMENT: The Department of War has reduced the total number of Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) assigned to Europe from four to three. This returns us to the levels of BCTs in Europe in 2021. This decision was the result of a comprehensive, multilayered process focused on U.S. force posture in Europe. This is resulting in a temporary delay of the deployment of U.S. forces to Poland, which is a model U.S. ally. The Department will determine the final disposition of these and other U.S. forces in Europe based on further analysis of U.S. strategic and operational requirements, as well as our allies’ own ability to contribute forces toward Europe’s defense. This analysis is designed to advance President Trump’s America First agenda in Europe and other theaters, including by incentivizing and enabling our NATO allies to take primary responsibility for Europe’s conventional defense. Secretary Hegseth spoke with Polish Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz earlier today, and the Department will remain in close contact with our Polish counterparts as this analysis proceeds, including to ensure that the United States retains a strong military presence in Poland. Poland has shown both the ability and resolve to defend itself. Other NATO allies should follow suit. The Department will provide more information at the appropriate time, in the appropriate setting.

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: Great to see @SecWar @PeteHegseth publicly recognize his Senior Advisor Eric Geressy @geressy187. Eric is one of the few people inside the Pentagon actually fighting every single day for the men and women wearing this nation’s cloth. Not for headlines. Not for politics. For the troops. From barracks conditions to equipment to making sure service members know somebody at the top actually gives a damn… he’s in the fight constantly. He always tells young troops he wishes the American people could see what they’re doing every day because they’d be proud of them. Truth is… I wish more Americans could see people like Eric behind the scenes, because they’d be proud knowing there are still leaders inside that building who genuinely care. Leadership is action. Not branding. Not talking points. Eric lives it.
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: Earlier today in the Gulf of Oman, U.S. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded M/T Celestial Sea, an Iranian-flagged commercial oil tanker suspected of attempting to violate the U.S. blockade by transiting toward an Iranian port. American forces released the vessel after searching and directing the ship’s crew to alter course.

  • Entry: The Arsenal of Freedom.
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: Many people don't understand the scale @SecWar is demanding. The United States has built less than 40,000 cruise missiles, ever, since the Army asked the Dayton-Wright Company to manufacture an Aerial Torpedo in 1917. The more time passes, the fewer we make and the more they cost. Leaders like DepSecWar Feinberg and @USWREMichael are actually responding to foreign threats and giving clear demand signal that is bringing billions of dollars of private capital into solving this problem. Now America will manufacture more cruise missiles in the next three years than the last 30 years combined, at a fraction of the cost. We are in the middle of hiring for Barracuda production at Arsenal-1 starting later this year, please hit us up if this mission is one you can be passionate about.

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: As we take this weekend to remember those who sacrificed everything, Memorial Day is not about politics, slogans, or long weekends. It is about the Americans who stood shoulder to shoulder in places of fear, violence, and chaos and never made it home. These service members gave everything for our country and for the brothers and sisters beside them. They fought until the very end, surrounded by some of the very best our nation has to offer. I will never forget the courage I witnessed from Soldiers fighting rooftop to rooftop in Baghdad and Samarra, evacuating wounded under fire, and relentlessly taking the fight to the enemy. We honor the fallen, the families they left behind, and the brothers and sisters who carry their memory every single day. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 #MemorialDay #NeverForget

Our strength is our oath to the Constitution. Our embrace of Army Values. The idea of merit. Our mission. Our absolute commitment to Duty, Honor, Country.

Wherever the American Soldier walks, wherever he fights... and wherever he falls, he does it for the destiny of a nation like no other... and for the fate of Freedom on this earth... By their deaths, those who have gone before us in battle have redeemed the promise of our Founding for each future generation.

The ruling is temporarily on hold, but the legal battle now appears headed toward a potential Supreme Court showdown.

Cuba’s Communist elites have weaponized energy as a tool of social control and kleptocratic profit. For decades, the regime has stolen and hoarded available fuel — using it for the Castros’ private jet, the security services forces used to repress the Cuban people, to keep empty tourist hotels lit up, and to bus people in for fake protests and political stunts — all while the Cuban people have suffered blackouts and waited weeks to fill their cars. President Trump wants a new future for the Cuban people with greater economic and political freedom and opportunity. Until then, we will continue to target the Communist regime’s ability to leverage its energy trade to further its corrupt agenda and violently repress the Cuban people.

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: FROM @POTUS — At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth. Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity. During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls. With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones. Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive. This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP

  • Entry: Last night U.S. forces, in coordination with the Armed Forces of Nigeria, killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki and other ISIS leaders. Back in November 2025, President Trump declared to the world that we will help protect Christians in Nigeria and instructed the Department of War to prepare for action. So, for months, we hunted this top ISIS leader in Nigeria who was killing Christians, and we killed him—and his entire posse. In conjunction with Nigeria’s President, and at the direction of President Trump, U.S. Africa Command oversaw a precise operation to remove this terrorist. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki was the senior ISIS General Directorate of Provinces Emir — the number two for ISIS globally — responsible for overseeing the planning of attacks, directing hostage-taking and managing financial operations. The removal of him and other ISIS personnel makes Americans safer by further degrading ISIS’s ability to plan and carry out attacks that threaten the U.S. homeland, American citizens, and innocent civilians. Operations like last night’s demonstrate the exceptional lethality, patience and skill of U.S. forces, amplified alongside willing and capable partners, to address shared threats. This should serve as a reminder that we will hunt down those who wish to harm Americans or innocent Christians, wherever they are.

I told Pete that I’ve never been more proud of the men and women of the U.S. military -- and the civilians who support them -- than I am right now.   Secretary Hegseth has done an outstanding job, in my opinion, dealing with Iran and beyond. We discussed the urgent need to plus up the military budget to deal with replenishing and restoring our stockpile of weapons and other one-time expenses being incurred by constant conflict. I suggested $355 billion.   I told Secretary Hegseth that I would be pushing for a supplemental appropriations bill with funds for the military and other needs of the country. Any shortfall between the supplemental and the $355 billion could be made up in reconciliation 3.0.   Secretary Hegseth is a big proponent of another reconciliation bill for the Department of War, as is @POTUS. As Senate Budget Committee Chairman, I will be working with Senate leadership, @BudgetGOP, the Department of War and the White House to see if we can get this process moving as expeditiously as possible. In my view, time is of the essence. We cannot turn our backs on an historic opportunity to help the Department of War at a time of multiple conflicts. Stay tuned.

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: Department of War Restores U.S. Pacific Command Designation. CAMP H.M. SMITH, Hawaii — The Department of War announced today that the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) will officially restore its name to the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM). Originally established on January 1, 1947, by President Harry S. Truman, the command operated under the USPACOM banner for over 70 years, standing as the oldest and largest of the United States' unified combatant commands. Restoring the legacy USPACOM designation honors the command’s deep historical roots, fostering a sense of pride and collective spirit among all who serve in the Pacific. From its critical role in establishing the post-WWII regional security architecture to its coordination of joint forces during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and countless humanitarian operations, the USPACOM namesake carries decades of military heritage and enduring regional partnerships. USPACOM’s vast area of responsibility—spanning from the waters off the West Coast of the United States to the western border of India—remains exactly the same. The command's fundamental mission and its unwavering commitment to maintaining a free and open theater alongside regional allies and partners are unchanged. https://dvidshub.net/r/zmngnb

We are finally getting serious about catching up, and with $54 billion behind autonomous warfare in the FY27 budget, the resources are there to do it. https://breakingdefense.com/2026/07/hehegseth-memo-drone-czar-autonomy-exclusive/
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: On 4th of July, I'm reminded how fortunate we are to live in the greatest country on Earth.   As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this week, I'm especially grateful to serve a President who believes that people who work hard every day deserve to keep more of what they earn. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on Social Security. Historic relief through the Working Families Tax Cuts.   That's not just good policy. It's a belief in the American worker and the American Dream.

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: The U.S. Navy just hit its recruiting goal of 45,000 Sailors – 3 months ahead of schedule. Even more impressive: they raised their goal by 10% and still exceeded expectations. This is what happens when strong leadership under President Trump, high standards, a return to perfecting the basics, and a mission that matters come together. Americans are stepping up to serve because they believe in our country, our Navy, and our warfighters. Congratulations @USNavy and every recruiter, leader, and future Sailor who made this possible!

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: The warfighters of @US_CYBERCOM & @NSAGov ensure America is never in a fair fight. It was an honor to witness their innovative and unwavering commitment to defend our Republic.
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@SECWAR "This background noise is PERFECT— It's the sound of INGRATES, of ingratitude—of people who are so BLINDED BY IDEOLOGY they can't see law and order and common sense in front of them. There is nothing ideological about this group... LAW AND ORDER IS SOMETHING ALL AMERICANS DESERVE."
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@SECWAR "The crime rate here has dropped by STAGGERING AMOUNTS, and the media won't want to admit it because, of course, they have to give credit to President Trump... It's incredible Americans like you—who ignore the noise, and YOU DO YOUR JOB..."
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@StephenM: "Each and every one of you has been a part of the SINGLE MOST SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. In twelve months, the crime rate in D.C. has gone from the highest in the WORLD—TO THE LOWEST RECORDED IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION'S CAPITAL."
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@StephenM to members of the National Guard: "All of civilization can be fundamentally divided into two groups of people: builders and destroyers; between the people who do the work to build, sustain and nurture civilization... and those who only destroy; who litter, who rob, who graffiti, who deface, who degrade. Civilization only exists because of people like you—people who choose to serve, who choose to sacrifice, who choose to build, who choose to dedicate themselves to some cause greater than their own vanity."
  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@DAGToddBlanche at the renovated Meridian Hill Park in Washington, D.C.: "It was just about one year ago today, when President Trump said that he looked around this city—the capital of the greatest country in the history of civilization—and didn’t like what he saw. He didn’t like the crime. He didn’t like the way it looked, and he instructed us to do something about it — and that’s exactly what we’ve done."

  • Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: I am aware of recent reports involving an Air Force officer protesting at the United States Capitol. Let me be clear: I expect every Airman and Guardian to comply with all laws and policies governing personal conduct, political participation, and the wear of the uniform. Americans place their trust in us. We cannot, and will not, compromise the trust of the Nation. Good order and discipline are critical to the DAF’s mission, and rigorously maintaining the highest standards of conduct on & off duty are an absolute must for all Airmen and Guardians. The Department takes allegations of misconduct seriously, including any that might undermine the nonpartisan nature of our military. Pursuant to a thorough investigation - which will proceed unimpeded - commanders will ensure appropriate disposition when holding service members accountable in accordance with military law and due process.

No, take me back
