Rapid Response 47

Mike Waltz on the Iranian missile launch toward Diego Garcia: "That same type of missile, Iran has lied about, in terms of its development, and said they were not developing — yet they just [launched] it. Not only could it hit Diego Garcia, it could hit capitals in Europe... thank God POTUS is taking action now and stopping this march towards a fully-fledged nuclear program, instead of waiting until after it’s developed like we saw in North Korea under the Clinton administration."

@RapidResponse

Mark Rutte applauds POTUS' leadership on the world stage, says we're "coming together to make sure that we can be able to secure the Strait of Hormuz."

@RapidResponse

John Ratcliffe: "Yes."

@RapidResponse

Scott Bessent on Operation Epic Fury: "The regime is in collapse... We're starting to see defections."

@RapidResponse

@TulsiGabbard: "The IC assesses that Operation Epic Fury is advancing fundamental change in the region... [Iran's] conventional military power projection capabilities have largely been destroyed, leaving limited options. Iran's strategic position has been significantly degraded."

@RapidResponse

Tom Cotton opens the annual Worldwide Threats hearing: "The world is always a dangerous place, especially for America — but thanks to your agencies and President Trump's leadership, the world isn't quite as dangerous for Americans as it was a year ago."

@RapidResponse

VP on the midterms: "We’ve done so much good, and we've built so much, and we've been able to do a lot for the American people, but the Democrats threaten to take us straight back to where we were just a few short years ago."

@RapidResponse

Dr. Mehmet Oz: You have states, red and blue, who are suffering because the rules were lax and weak and fraudsters took advantage of them—but we're onto them and we're going after them. Los Angeles has 1/3 of all hospice centers in the entire country. These are impossible numbers.

@RapidResponse

"This man is no longer with us here on earth, and that's a good thing for the United States," says Karoline Leavitt on Esmail Khatib being taken out.

"We’ve now actually struck more than 7,800 targets. More than 120 Iranian naval ships are at the bottom of the ocean."

@RapidResponse

Kash Patel: "We seized enough fentanyl in 2025 to kill 178 million Americans."

"Opioid overdose deaths from last year dropped 20 points."

@RapidResponse

Senator Slotkin: "Until I hear someone tell me that this man, President Trump, will actually allow us to have a free and fair election, there is zero trust here, and I cannot trust that he won't try and steal it — again!"

Totally unhinged and detached from reality.

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt: "The President is the leader of the most powerful country and military in the world. Nobody tells him what to do. He makes decisions based on what's in the best interest of this country."

@RapidResponse

POTUS on NATO members declining to assist in the Iran operation: "I just think that it's not good for a partnership, when they say, 'What you're doing is a great thing, but we're not going to help.'"

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Iran is just a military operation to me. Iran is something that was essentially largely over in two or three days because the navy was wiped out almost immediately, the air force came next... it's going to be a prosperous, wonderful place... it used to be very successful. Now, it's a country run by fear."

@RapidResponse

John Thune on the SAVE America Act: "Pretty much everything you do in your daily life involves showing an I.D., whether it's opening a bank account, getting a hotel room, picking up prescription drugs... These are things that are just basic, fundamental aspects of our everyday life. We certainly ought to be able to apply them to something as important as voting in this country."
