This is an excellent shirt.
Wildly illegal $1.2 TRILLION tax hike that violates multiple domestic laws & multiple ratified international treaties, along with impoverishing the median voter, who works in the non-tradable services sector & experiences international trade <only> as a consumer.

I remember the first Soldiers in berets. Active duty, in the sun, picking up roadside trash. The berets truly motivated them. I could tell.
What the hell is the National Guard doing?!?!?!
Everyone knows the active duty force trains for this exact mission every Red Cycle. Get these amateurs out of here and let’s get a Battalion of OPERATION Clean Sweep veterans for this vital mission.

Today is #Juneteenth: an American holiday to celebrate when the Union Army told the slaves in Galveston, TX, they were, in fact, free.
I'm thrilled that every year we can remember just how far we'll go to do the right thing. #GoArmy

Juneteenth 2025
Unjust people living in unjust regimes don’t wring their hands with concern over how to abolish the injustice of slavery. Good people living in a good regime based upon the principles of justice, do.

A mountain rescue at 14,200' from a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter is no joke. The Army National Guard pilots are fantastic. #COARNG coloradosun.com/2025/06/14/c...
Men hit by lightning plucked from mountain in record-high Colorado helicopter rescues
The rescues happened late Thursday near the summit of Torreys Peak, a 14,300-foot mountain about 40 miles west of Denver

Great last time, great this time. One bit was about how much effort it took to stand up a Ukraine office with sufficient knowledge to act.
Lethality prep isn't just "more bullets" (also, we need more FA rounds; do math, people!). Look at a map and see who's next to our most likely adversaries.
