DEFEND THE UNITED STATES AGAINST MISSILE ATTACK: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to Build the Iron Dome for America.
- The Executive Order directs implementation of a next-generation missile defense shield for the United States against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other next-generation aerial attacks.
- With the goal of providing for the common defense of American citizens, this Order accelerates the development and deployment of Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor Layers, proliferated space-based interceptors, a Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, capabilities to defeat salvoes prior to launch, non-kinetic missile defense capabilities, and underlayer and terminal-phase intercept capabilities.
- It also secures the supply chains for all components of the Iron Dome.
- The Executive Order directs a review of theater missile defense posture to defend United States troops deployed abroad and an increase in cooperation on missile defense technology development, capabilities, and operations with partners and allies.
ADDRESSING VULNERABILITIES BY MODERNIZING AN OUTDATED SYSTEM:
- The threat of attack by ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles remains a catastrophic threat facing the United States.
- Over the past 40 years, rather than lessening, the threat from next-generation strategic weapons—including hypersonic—has become more complex with the development of next-generation delivery systems by our adversaries.
- Notwithstanding this increasing threat, United States homeland missile defense policy has been limited to staying ahead of rogue nation threats and accidental or unauthorized missile launches.
THE IRON DOME WILL FURTHER THE GOALS OF PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH: By empowering the United States with a second-strike capability, the Iron Dome will deter adversaries from attacks on the homeland.
- President Trump is fulfilling his promises: “I will direct our military to begin construction of the great Iron Dome missile defense shield, which will be made all in the USA.”

We got some big news this morning that really dropped on late Monday…
OMB memo sent to me appears to suggest a pause on basically all federal assistance starting tomorrow at 5. Is there another way to read this? pic.twitter.com/ljkoQzRAyH

According to several articles I read, while social security and medicare are not impacted by this freeze; nobody seems to know what is actually impacted, such as food stamps assistance, college grants, cancer research. Nobody seems to know.
Chaos is the point. People are scrambling for answers but so far we don’t know anything.
It’s all the “we will wait and sees”…
Here’s some of it that might and could be paused…
That’s the funding to keep senior citizens for freezing, kids from starving, students in college, kids in their special ed programs, healthcare centers running, and healthcare for millions

The scope of the potential harm here is absolutely devastating and the whole thing is…
Show more =’s The scope of the potential harm here is absolutely devastating and the whole thing is wildly unconstitutional.
There is this…
Multiple states locked out of Medicaid portal. This is a Trump shutdown, except this time it’s unlawful.

Moving on…
Last night President Shitshow went to “truth” social and said…
But did they???
US defense officials tell me they did not send troops to “turn on the water” in California, despite President Trump’s claims overnight. https://t.co/DxnUrYL8ki
