It would appear that "every soldier" does not include traditional Reservists or Guardsmen. Weekend Warriors not included in the "Warrior Dividend".
OVERNIGHT: President Trump’s $1,776 checks for 1.45 million troops announced Wednesday night come from Congressionally-allocated reconciliation funds intended to subsidize housing allowances for service members, a senior official confirmed to @DefenseOne. https://t.co/mGWski9Exl

Dammit! My Chemtrails mind control plot was so close to succeeding. Had these top minds not uncovered this plot, SC would have been converted into one large Antifa cell. Back to the drawing board....

That doesn’t look like the American Flag on that helmet to me…
U.S. military forces are deployed to the #SOUTHCOM area of responsibility in support of #OpSouthernSpear, @DeptofWar-directed operations, and @POTUS' priorities to disrupt illicit drug trafficking and protect the homeland.

Talk like “normal human beings.” “Advocacy speak” or professor speak is not relatable. Just be a good neighbor. https://t.co/3DjccehgEY

As he considers a presidential bid, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear will be an important voice in 2026 as chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.

I caught some heat in the Spring for saying Dems should stop being the “language police” & start talking about cost of living. Turns out affordability is what connected with voters this year. Talking to rural communities is the next step. Be relatable, focus on quality of life

Agreed. States must retain the ability to protect their citizens from the negative impacts of AI while responsibly supporting innovation. A federal moratorium is a bad idea and ties our hands.
We can’t allow the Federal Government to remove our right as a state to protect our citizens. Thank you @JayforHouse85 @MelissaOremus David Martin and James Teeple for standing up as well.

The guy who promised lethality and warrior ethos is promising a… checks notes… Uniform inspection? Make it make sense.
So “Captain” Kelly, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order & discipline…but you can’t even display your uniform correctly. Your medals are out of order & rows reversed. When/if you are recalled to active duty, it’ll start with a uniform inspection.

While fighting in Fallujah my squad unexpectedly ended up at a large base outside the city after one of our guys got hit and had to be medevaced. Some admin jackass on base wouldn’t let us in the chow hall b/c *hand to God* “we didn’t bring our ID cards.” Pete is that Jackass.

We swear an oath to the Constitution, not a man. I stand with @CaptMarkKelly, and with the Constitution he’s defended in combat and the US Senate.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

"You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal or illegal. That's a pretty slippery slope." 👆Incredibly insulting to warfighters. "Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took" 👆 False. The oath is to the constitution.
BLITZER: I just want to be precise. Should members of the US military or intelligence community obey what are clearly illegal orders? LISA McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal or illegal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow

Telling military members ignore unlawful orders is misconduct? Good grief, annual Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) training for the DoD explicitly states this requirement. I see this Court Martial ending in an embarrassing dismissal similar to Comey stunt. 🤡 show.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations

My husband @CaptMarkKelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity, dedicating his career to protecting us and upholding our constitution. Today, the President of the United States called him a traitor and demanded he be
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The folks pushing these new maps aren’t doing it to make SC’s government more representative. They’re doing it because it benefits their party. Party over people. They are clearly saying the needs of their party matter more than fair representation for SC. And if they think

Great news to share today! 🚨 S.323, the total abortion ban that would jail women for up to 30 years for having an abortion, failed to get enough votes to move out of subcommittee. This is a major setback for an extreme bill that has no place in a free society. I’m grateful for

The fight ain't over but today was a great day for medical freedom and keeping government out of our personal decisions.
SC Medical Affairs Subcommittee did not advance the abortion bill. The vote was 3-2 (all Democrats voted against it, 4 Republicans didn’t vote). It’s possible that the bill can be brought back up in the future but today it didn’t move forward.
