Our duty is readiness. Our focus is security. Our purpose is peace. .@KenCalvert’s FY27 Defense bill raises troop pay, expands munitions production, fortifies weapons technology, and enhances industrial capacity. It equips our forces to deter aggression and win when called.

More than five centuries ago, Christopher Columbus embarked on the voyage that forever changed the course of history and helped pave the way for the birth of the greatest nation the world has ever known. Happy Columbus Day! 🇺🇸

The Chinese government allegedly sent an operative to surveil the family of Taiwan’s President ON AMERICAN SOIL — photos, video, license plates — then she tried to hop a flight back to Shanghai. Wrong move. FBI Los Angeles arrested Wanying Zhang at LAX on charges of acting as an unregistered agent of the PRC. Foreign adversaries take note: America is NOT your playground. Under President Trump’s leadership, this FBI is hunting national security threats wherever they hide — and putting them in cuffs. -DKP🇺🇸

Election fraud is real. Election fraud is illegal. Election fraud will be prosecuted.
DOJ announced charges for 16 individuals for ILLEGAL VOTING, illegal voter registration, and related election-fraud schemes across the country. If you are not allowed to vote in our elections, you shouldn’t. And if you do, that’s a CRIME. This isn’t a partisan issue!

25 years ago today, I was in Washington, D.C. when our nation was attacked. After a day of unimaginable devastation and heartbreak, I joined my colleagues on the Capitol steps to demonstrate the strength, unity, and resolve of America. We will never forget!🇺🇸

I want to thank @mikeroweworks for submitting testimony for my Defense Appropriations Subcommittee field hearing yesterday focused on America’s defense industrial base and workforce. Our national security requires a lot of 'dirty jobs' to build and sustain our fighting force.

“We assume that critical manufacturing inputs such as minerals, sub-tier suppliers, and skilled labor will always be available. This assumption is false.” @KenCalvert A strong defense industrial base requires investing in the resources and workforce needed to keep America safe.

Military readiness isn't built solely on the battlefield. A strong industrial base—its workforce, production capacity, materials, and supply chains—is foundational to our defense. That's the focus of today’s upcoming Defense Subcommittee field hearing: bit.ly/4hdYib9
