    The American people have been led to believe that violent crime is a symptom of living in a major city. @POTUS has proven in Memphis that we don’t have to accept the premise, and it may be the greatest accomplishment of his second term.   Read my Op-Ed in @realDailyWire:

    Tennessee law allowing extremely dangerous criminals the right to bail is just bad policy. Too many Tennesseans have been killed by someone with pending murder charges whom the judge was required to release before trial. Our judges need broader discretion to protect our communities. This will be a huge help across the state, but especially in Memphis—which we're turning into the safest city in America.

    It's great to partner with @potus and @USGSA_Ed to make federal architecture beautiful again. For decades to come, Americans will appreciate the courthouse we're building in Chattanooga. It will uplift the spirit, and symbolize our respect for the rule of law.

    I always appreciate the opportunity to hear from our local law enforcement leaders and discuss ways we can continue working together to keep Tennessee communities safe. Thank you to the sheriffs across Southeast Tennessee for a productive roundtable discussion and for the dedication you bring to the Volunteer State every day, and a special thank you to @hcsotn for hosting.

    Under @POTUS’s decisive leadership, the Trump Administration continues to put America first and bring back U.S. citizens wrongfully detained abroad.
    Special Envoy Steve Witkoff @SEPeaceMissions
    Today, Stephen Hubbard is free and headed back home to his family.  Stephen is a proud American citizen, retired teacher, and U.S. Air Force veteran who loves our country. Now, he is on his way back to a family who loves him, a President who never gave up on him, and a nation that proudly welcomes him home. It was my honor to be with Stephen in St. Petersburg today before he departed for the United States. President Trump called Stephen to check on him and reaffirm his unwavering commitment to bringing all Americans wrongfully detained home. Stephen joins more than 110 Americans who @POTUS has freed since returning to office, including Robert Gilman, Ksenia Karelina, and Marc Fogel.  This release was not part of an exchange - and we extend our thanks to President Putin for releasing him on President Trump’s request. Thank you to @SecRubio, @JaredKushner, @CIADirector, Senior Director for Counterterrorism @SebGorka and the rest of the team for working tirelessly to achieve President Trump’s mission.  President Trump does not leave Americans behind and will continue fighting to bring them all home 🇺🇸.

    By implementing the GENIUS Act, the Trump Administration paves the way to faster payments, more innovation, and stronger demand for U.S. Treasuries. Sound implementation of my legislation is critical to securing American leadership in digital asset innovation.
    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent
    The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age. The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.

    We had an exciting day in Sweetwater as we broke ground on the 150-acre SouthPoint Business Park. This project will help attract new businesses, strengthen American manufacturing, and create new jobs for hardworking Tennesseans. I am grateful to have been a part of this momentous occasion for East Tennessee.

    Patrick has been a tremendous asset in advancing @POTUS’s agenda. From his service at @DeptofWar strengthening America’s defense industrial base to his efforts at the White House championing digital assets, Patrick has proven himself to be a talented convener and a man of action. I hope Patrick remains engaged in these critical issues and continues to provide valuable thought leadership from his next role.

    Serving in this administration has been the privilege of a lifetime. From helping to stand up the most successful presidential transition in history alongside @howardlutnick and @EDSecMcMahon, to rebuilding our defense industrial base as PTDO Deputy Under Secretary for R&E and then Acting Director of OSC at @DeptofWar, to driving forward President Trump’s vision to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world” as Executive Director of the @WhiteHouse Crypto Council, I consider myself to have been the luckiest guy in the world over these past two years. First and foremost, I want to thank @POTUS for the opportunity to serve the American people again in your second term. Your clear-eyed vision to ensure the United States remains the undisputed global superpower at this time of unprecedented technological change and geopolitical strife is critical to our nation’s future prosperity. Second, I want to thank @DavidSacks for your visionary leadership and mentorship. I am so grateful to have been able to work with you and learn from you over the past year. Thank you also to @USWREMichael, James Mazol, @HarryYJung, Nick Elliot, Tyler Williams, @lukejpettit, Jonathan Hurowitz, Andrew Rittenhouse, Michael Friedman, @atitus7, @passalacqua_mj, @willscharf, @JamesCBraid, @MayMailman, Steve Levine, Patrick Butler, Zach Carstens, and countless others across the administration for being the best colleagues anyone could ask for. It was an honor to serve alongside you. Lastly, thank you to @SECPaulSAtkins and @ChairmanSelig, @SecScottBessent, @USComptroller Gould, @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @JohnBoozman, @SenThomTillis, @RepFrenchHill, and @RepBryanSteil for your partnership in advancing crypto policy over the past year with the passage of the GENIUS Act and our work to advance the CLARITY Act. With regulators and elected officials like you, I rest easy knowing the future of digital asset innovation in America is bright. Regarding next steps, I’ll have to more to share soon. For now, I’ll say this: I am extremely bullish on America as we embark upon a new golden age of technological advancement across multiple frontiers. I’m grateful to have done my part to unleash American innovation while in government, and I look forward to advancing that same mission in the private sector! 🇺🇸

    Conservatives, religious organizations, energy producers, and other Americans disfavored by Democrats were targeted with account closures and credit denials. @POTUS and @USOCC are confronting these abuses and putting an end to the weaponization of our financial system.
    OCC @USOCC
    The OCC’s supervisory review of debanking activities at the nine largest national banks it supervises found that these banks had policies that required, encouraged, or otherwise influenced banks to deny or limit access to financial services to Americans because of their political or religious beliefs or affiliations or their lawful business activities. Read about the OCC’s findings and its efforts to guarantee fair banking for all Americans.
