.@PressSec is spot on. When the radical Left pushes to defund the police and demonize law enforcement, recruitment suffers. But when our officers are supported and given the tools they need, crime goes down and more Americans step up to serve.
REPORTER: "What can be done to get more police officers on the streets of America?". KAROLINE LEAVITT: "Clearly, Americans want to serve their communities — they just need a leader who encourages them to do so."

Far too often, dangerous criminals are released back onto the streets thanks to radical cashless bail policies. It's time to put law-abiding Americans FIRST and end this madness.

It turns out that Radical Democrat AG Letitia James of New York’s politically motivated witch hunt and unprecedented government overreach against President Trump has failed. The appellate court’s decision was the correct outcome.
BREAKING: A New York appellate court has thrown out the $500 million penalty Democrat AG Letitia James tried to enforce against President Trump in the civil case — labeling it excessive and a violation of the Eighth Amendment.

I’ve long been an advocate for parental choice in education. Parents, not bureaucrats, deserve to decide what’s best for their children. Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, school choice is being expanded to make that school choice easier.
Trump Department of Education rolls out latest step to expand school choice nationwide.

Radical Democrats claimed our southern border was “completely secure” under the Biden-Harris Administration. The numbers tell a very different story. They reveal the truth: record chaos and crisis.

In recent years, Americans witnessed the intelligence community become bloated and in some cases politically. With ODNI 2.0, @DNIGabbard is reducing the size of @ODNIgov, restoring accountability, and keeping our agencies focused on serving the best interests of the American.

Intelligence officials behind the Russia Hoax betrayed their oath and the American people’s trust. They weaponized our government and pushed lies for political gain. It was far beyond time their clearances were revoked and they were held accountable.
Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In

I completely agree with Secretary Collins. Our Nation’s heroes shouldn’t face hurdles to get the care they earned through their service. Cutting red tape is how we achieve this, and I applaud the Secretary for his tireless efforts.
For too long it’s been too complicated for Veterans to get the @DeptVetAffairs benefits they’ve earned. We’re fixing that.

Social Security must be safeguarded for seniors who worked and paid into it, not handed to those who broke the law to be here. Removing 275K illegal immigrants off the program is a step in the right direction to ensure this vital safety net can thrive.

The Russia hoax ranks among the darkest chapters in our nation’s history, dividing Americans and undermining trust in our institutions. Clapper’s rush to politicize intelligence was an absolute disgrace. I applaud @DNIGabbard for bringing the truth to light.
🚨Newly declassified Top Secret emails sent on December 22, 2016 complying with President Obama's order to create the manufactured January 2017 ICA about Russia expose how DNI James Clapper demanded the IC fall in line behind the Russia Hoax. Clapper admits that it was a "team
