Loved reading this thread of amazing and little-known stories about our combat veteran leaders at the Pentagon. Grateful to work alongside them all. 🇺🇸
This Veterans Day, we honor those who have worn the uniform. We are grateful to the outstanding veterans who continue to serve our nation as members of Secretary Hegseth’s core leadership team. 👇🧵

Just when you think @RepThomasMassie couldn’t embarrass Kentucky any more, he finds a way. His latest stunt is nothing more than another attempt to put his own political interests ahead of the people he’s supposed to represent. As a Kentuckian, I find it embarrassing. Thank God his time representing our great state is coming to an end. Kentucky deserves better.

Standing on the side of what’s right will always prevail. The baseless attacks against @PeteHegseth and today’s outcome should send a shot across the bow of every political leader willing to sacrifice principle for politics. His unwavering refusal to back down in the face of political attacks or intimidation, and his willingness to stand up for our military and do what is right, should be an example to every American. Honored to serve alongside the greatest @SecWar . Hold the line.

Never bet against AMERICA’S @SecWar. Total Victory for our warfighters! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
TOTAL VICTORY! The referral of these baseless impeachment articles to the House Judiciary Committee marks total victory for Secretary Hegseth, the Department of War, and the American warfighter. From the beginning, this effort has been a political exercise devoid of merit, evidence, or seriousness. It collapses under the weight of Secretary Hegseth’s record of restoring the warrior ethos, delivering results, and putting the mission first. The American people see through it. We will not indulge the political theater driven by a disgruntled soon-to-be former congressman and others who have chosen grandstanding over governing. We look forward to ending this sham impeachment in the committee room, where facts will continue to prevail and this distraction can be put to rest. We will always stand tall and fight to defend the Republic!
