President Theodore Roosevelt addresses a crowd in Fort Worth on April 8, 1905. His entire speech was great, but I loved his last words about Texas. I bolded the best part:
"Texas has such an enormous extent of territory, a territory so widely diversified that almost all the in some particular State come to the front in Texas, and, therefore, we have a right to expect that, more than almost any other State, Texas shall contribute to the aggregate of our national wealth; and let me repeat here what I have said to various audiences, and I mean it literally, every word of it. I did not need to come here in order to be a good citizen, and a good American, but if I had needed it, I would have got what I needed here. AND, ALTHOUGH I CAME TO TEXAS A PRETTY GOOD AMERICAN, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I FEEL THAT NO PRESIDENT, NO MATTER WHO HE MAY BE, WHILE HE IS PRESIDENT, CAN AFFORD NOT TO COME TO TEXAS, FOR HE WILL LEAVE A BETTER AMERICAN THAN HE WAS WHEN HE CAME."
Indeed, Teddy, indeed. Myself? I feel more infinitely more virtuous when I cross from from other states into Texas --- particularly when I cross into Texas from Oklahoma. 😃😊😊😉

Fort Worth is a powerhouse of American defense manufacturing.
Delighted to see @DoWCTO and @LockheedMartin finalize a landmark 10-year @thef35 framework agreement supporting over 49,000 jobs across Fort Worth, boosting our local economy, and fueling America's military dominance.

It’s always great to have kids from Trinity Valley School at the U.S. Capitol. A tremendous group of 8th graders. Enjoy the rest of your stay in D.C. and hope to see you in Fort Worth soon.

Three years ago, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack in Israel’s history, brutally murdering, raping, and dismembering thousands and taking hundreds hostage.
Today, we remember every innocent life stolen on October 7th and stand united against terrorism and antisemitism.

EVERY Senate Democrat just joined 94% of House Democrats in voting AGAINST banning congressional stock trading.
@repBryanSteil’s Stop Insider Trading Act is the accountability the American people demand. But every Democrat blocked it from becoming law.

198 House Democrats OPPOSED the Stop Insider Trading Act, which bans shady stock trading by Members of Congress AND ensures Americans show a valid ID to vote.
Today, Senate Democrats BLOCKED it.
Never forget: The overwhelming majority of Democrats vote to ALLOW corruption and fraud.
Shameful.

I was thrilled to have so many of my Congressional colleagues travel to Fort Worth and visit @LockheedMartin.
It gave them the opportunity to thank the men and women who work to build @thef35 fighter jet that keeps our country and our allies safe around the world.

Tonight, my colleagues and I honored the life of former Congresswoman Kay Granger.
She was a legend among her colleagues, in Fort Worth, Texas, and across America. When Kay was told she couldn’t do something, she did it anyway.
An extraordinary woman who will be deeply missed.

On National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, we remember those we've lost, and we fight for the ones we can still protect. In 2025, @DEAHQ seized more than 47 million fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills and nearly 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder—equivalent to more than 369 fentanyl. So far this year, fentanyl seizures represent over 239 million deadly doses.
Just 2 milligrams—smaller than a grain of salt—can kill. This Justice Department is committed to combating the fentanyl crisis and keeping Americans and our communities safe.
