THIS IS WAR.

"Last year, when we gave a speech at Quantico—we launched THE WAR DEPARTMENT GOLDEN RULE:

Do unto your formation that which you would have done unto your son or daughter’s formation.

MEANING: NO GAMES. NO GIMMICKS. NO LOW STANDARDS. NO EXCUSES."

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.

Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.

Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO Dario Amodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.

The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.

As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.

Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.

In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.

America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

Proud to announce that the Army National Guard achieved its FY 2026 recruiting mission of 37,155 guardsmen yesterday.

This marks the THIRD year in a row that the ARNG has hit this achievement and the FIRST time it has achieved this level of sustained recruiting success since FY 2013.

ARNG is postured for another successful recruiting year in FY 2027. Job well done, @.USNationalGuard!

The Department of War fully supports President Trump’s decision to kick CNN, MSN̶B̶C̶NOW and Politico to the curb so they can publish their Fake News from outside the White House.

We are grateful these outlets already chose to self-deport from the Pentagon. They endangered our troops with false stories, leaks, and trafficked in fiction and lies about the President, our Warriors, and their mission.

Walking onto this campus, I DO NOT SEE an academic institution trying to apologize for AMERICAN STRENGTH.

I see backbone and resolve and the uncompromising future of the United States and the United States Armed Forces.

I SEE A REAL, GROUNDED, STRONG INSTITUTION, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR NATION NEEDS.

"It's an honor to be here on what we are calling the SEND ME TOUR.

Isaiah 6:8: The Lord asked, 'Whom shall I send?' Isaiah said, 'I AM HERE, LORD. SEND ME...'

There have always been Americans who RAISED THEIR RIGHT HAND AND SAID, 'SEND ME—I WILL FIGHT.'"

“The message is simple: If you deliver for America, THIS PENTAGON—THIS WAR DEPARTMENT—will have your back.

If you do not, WE WILL SHOW YOU THE DOOR.”
