- 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: I visited the San Diego and El Centro border sectors to meet with the soldiers and Marines who are locking down the southern border. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, and the work of Joint Task Force Southern Border, our border is more secure than ever. DoW National Defense Areas 4 & 5 are positioned directly across from major narco-terrorist strongholds in Mexico. Every day, Task Force Leviathan (San Diego) and Task Force Ram (El Centro) are disrupting drug and human trafficking operations, preventing illegal migrant crossings, and using advanced technology to detect and defeat drones.

- 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: CENTCOM forces continue total enforcement of the U.S. blockade against Iran, stopping the flow of commerce into and out of Iranian ports. 89 commercial vessels have been redirected to ensure compliance.
- 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. U.S. forces continue to fully enforce the blockade and have now redirected 91 commercial ships to ensure compliance.

- 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

- Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@SECWAR “The single dumbest phrase in military history was peddled in our Army only a few short years ago. You’ve all heard it — maybe in your first two years at West Point — ‘Our diversity is our strength’... Diversity is NOT our strength. UNITY is our strength... Our strength is our shared purpose. 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. These are the things that unify us. ‘Send me’ becomes ‘Send us’ because you are ONE fighting force, just as we are ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”

But you — our warriors — will SNAP IT BACK. You are the future... You will restore our Army. And I will empower you to do it.”

- Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@SECWAR “West Point is set apart. This is not a ‘normal’ college or university. Now, I know there have been foolish and feckless leaders in the recent past who tried their hardest to make it more ‘normal.’ We saw WOKE and WEAK leaders trying to make West Point look just like woke Princeton — which happens to be my long-lost alma mater. They embraced the DEI craze and tried to introduce Diversity and Inclusion studies, and they hired professors who advocated for anti-American ideologies right here in these halls. BUT NO MORE. West Point is set apart — special — it’s above politics.”
- Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@SECWAR “On a day like today, there’s no better way to start than with a word from Scripture – and on a day as special as this is for the 998 great Americans of this class, there’s no more fitting verse than from Isaiah 6:8: ‘Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here I am. Send me!”’”

Her son, Navy SEAL Aaron Carson Vaughn of SEAL Team VI, was killed in action in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, when his helicopter — call sign Extortion 17 — was shot down, claiming the lives of 30 Americans in the single greatest loss of Navy SEAL lives in history. Since then, she has spent more than a decade traveling the country, sharing Aaron’s story and reminding Americans of the true cost of freedom.

Our warriors are no mere mercenaries, they are guardian angels who stride across the battlefields of history and stand watch over the highest and most beautiful planes the human spirit has ever seen—holding the line between liberty and tyranny, between civilization and barbarism, between good and evil. 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. They've not just made the Ultimate Sacrifice, they have offered the Ultimate Proof that we Americans do indeed love Liberty. We do cherish the self-government given to us by our forefathers. We do believe with all our souls in the mission that God has given to America. And we do intend with all our strength and heart to hold high the torch our heroes handed to us—and we will never, ever let it fall."

This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz. All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces which also prevented a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas.

As our strategy states, we will prioritize working with “model allies” – those nations that are most capable, clear-eyed, and ready to defend their national interests. For those nations, we are moving them to the front line: Expedited arms sales, deep industrial collaboration, expanded intelligence sharing – the list goes on. But for those who believe they can continue to free ride on the generosity of the American taxpayer, hear us now: Those days are over. Allies who refuse to step up and carry their own weight for our collective defense will face a fundamental shift in how we do business".
- Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: .@SECWAR “It is our essential responsibility at the Department to ensure that the President is always negotiating from a position of unquestionable strength in order to sustain peace here in the Pacific and around the globe. To ensure our military might preserves stability, we will pair it with clarity of intent, which is why we are meeting more frequently with our Chinese counterparts. By maintaining open lines of military-to-military communication, we can coordinate, deconflict, and reduce the risk of miscalculation. This dialogue is not a sign of capitulation in either direction, but a practical guardrail—ensuring the relationship our leaders seek at the top is preserved at every level."

The White House and UFC are generously offering tickets for service members and their families to attend this once in a lifetime experience, not “appear as spectators” as WaPo describes in bad faith. Demand for these tickets are so high that waitlists have been created as a result. Service members also have to meet fitness standards every day they wear the uniform, not just to attend special events. This is not a surprise to anyone unless you are not in active duty. We look forward to rewarding our troops with a UFC spectacle they will never forget in honor of America 250! 🇺🇸

The three-judge panel found the administration likely violated the constitutional rights of transgender servicemembers and largely upheld a lower court's decision blocking the policy. The ruling is temporarily on hold, but the legal battle now appears headed toward a potential Supreme Court showdown.

- Entry: RT by @PeteHegseth: For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations. Pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trump’s groundbreaking Cuba Executive Order, I am designating the following entities: 1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR) 2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) 3. Amistur Cuba S.A. 4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) 5. Minera La Victoria S.A. Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities. The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil “revolution” to our country and around the world.
