A quarter of a century has passed since September 11, 2001, when the peace of our Nation was shattered by terrorists.
Today, we remember the 2,977 precious lives taken from us, honor the heroes who answered the call, & keep their families in the heart of our Nation.
Above all, we must ensure the memory of 9/11 never fades, but is carried from one generation of Americans to the next.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

👀ACF inventoried its sub-regulatory guidance, identified roughly 36,000 pages of “regulatory dark matter,” then rescinded all of it to ensure what information remained was transparent, useful, and current.
“Regulatory dark matter thrives when no one is responsible for managing it. By inventorying guidance...and institutionalizing review, ACF brought discipline to a previously unseen but consequential dimension of governance.”—@ACF_Adams

Sage wisdom.
Seven things every kid needs to hear:
1. I love you
2. I’m proud of you
3. I’m sorry
4. I forgive you
5. I’m listening
6. Sub-regulatory guidance should not operate as a mass of ‘regulatory dark matter,’ it should be transparent, inventoried, centralized, and current.
7. You’ve got what it takes

How does Russia stand to be affected by the U.S. operation in Iran?
I spoke with @BudrysKestutis at the Miami Security Forum and asked him about this.
If the operation against Iran is successful, “it will weaken Russia, because it will eliminate another regime that was assisting them,” he explained.
“My message to my colleagues in Europe ... is that it is in our interest to stop this threat and to break the Iran-Russia access.”

President Trump on Iran: "You can't have lunatics controlling nuclear weaponry."
.@POTUS on Iran: As somebody said, we could leave today, and it would take 10 years to rebuild the damage that's been done, but I think we have to make it a little bit more permanent so no other president has to go through this. We don't ever want to have that problem again.
