“There is no greater friend & no worse enemy than the @USMC. From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, happy 250th birthday to vanguard of the greatest military the world has ever known.

On November 13, he commented on recent congressional action regarding government funding: “JUST NOW: @HouseGOP PASSED the Senate Amendment to H.R. 5371 by a vote of 222-209 to reopen government. It will now head to @POTUS’s desk to be SIGNED INTO LAW. For 43 days, Schumer leveraged the pain/suffering of Americans to keep his leadership spot. He failed & this” (link, posted November 13, 2025)
