WATCH: DEVASTATING WILDFIRES RIP THROUGH SPOKANE, WASHINGTON

Fast-moving wildfires tore through neighborhoods across north Spokane, leaving entire communities reduced to ash. The wind-driven Old Trails Fire, along with the Autumn Lane and Fairview fires, destroyed more than 700 homes, forced thousands of residents to evacuate, and continues to threaten thousands more structures as dangerous fire conditions persist.

An official said, “This fire behavior has been aggressive and unpredictable due to high winds and very dry fuels.”

Please keep the communities across Spokane in your thoughts and prayers, along with the first responders, as crews continue battling these fast-moving wildfires and the full extent of the destruction is still being assessed.🙏🏻

WATCH LIVE: President Donald J. Trump Signs an Executive Order.

The executive order establishes the President's Military Spouse Commission to better assist military spouses and will be chaired by Jennifer Hegseth, the wife of War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

POTUS: "Thank you for all being here as we take a major new step to support our incredible military families... Today, I'm signing an Executive Order to establish the first-ever Presidential Military Spouse Commission." 🇺🇸

POTUS: "America cannot have the strongest military in the world without the love and devotion of our remarkable military spouses who make the extraordinary sacrifices for our country... this Commission will provide recommendations for improving the quality of life for military spouses so that we can better support both our military families and the entire United States armed forces."

POTUS: "Every day, our administration is fighting to give our military families the support they dearly need and they deserve. As part of the Great Big Beautiful Bill, we provided hundreds of millions of dollars for military childcare and improved housing on military bases... Last Christmas, every service member received a Warrior Dividend of $1,776... the Commission will help ensure we continue to give military spouses our very best, so our military can continue to be the strongest military anywhere in the world."

Gen. Dan Caine: "You think we're strong? American military spouses are ten times stronger." 🇺🇸

Jennifer Hegseth, Chair of the Presidential Military Spouse Commission: "We have the most amazing women here who have decades of experience... between what they've experienced and what they know, we’re going to really tackle these things... It’s housing, it’s healthcare, it’s employment, it's childcare, it's education, and so we’re going to take a look at all those things... So this is a big deal today."

SecWar: "Strong families equal strong formations... and if your family’s not taken care of that, then it causes hesitation and complications for the warfighters up front... If that warfighter knows that their family is good to go, they will go the the extra mile, which is what our nation asks."

Executive Director of the Presidential Military Spouse Commission Desiree Sayle: "This group has over 400 years of experience as an active duty military spouse... so if you can imagine that level of experience coming to this commission and solving real problems for the future of our military spouses and families, it’s just an incredible thing that you’re doing, President Trump."

POTUS: "There's NOTHING more important than the SAVE America Act. I think [the Senate] should stay... I think it's so important to get it passed."

POTUS on talks with Iran: "They're going on right now... This is the last chance. This is the last chance for them to sign a good document."

POTUS on Iran talks: "They're going to go quickly one way or the other. It's not very complex. We're talking about the opening of the Strait, having it open literally by tomorrow—completely open. That's phase one, and phase two is we then will talk about the nuclear... we're very strong on it: they cannot have a nuclear weapon."

POTUS roasts Fake "Bass Mouth" Traylor in the Oval Office:

"MSNOW? That's the failed MSDNC, right? They failed. They gave it a new name. You know why? Because nobody watched it — and fewer people are watching it now."

POTUS: When I saw what happened in Spain, I said we had a version of that—you could say much worse. We allowed 25 million people under Joe Biden, the Democrats. We had open borders, and countries all over the world sent people that they don’t want into our country. We're going to be just like that if you put these lunatics in that I see running for office.

POTUS: "The best grass you can get — Scotts. You know Scotts? Scotts Miracle-Gro. They do great grass, what can I tell you?" 🤣

Thanks to the FBI Detroit team for hosting me and for bringing these great partners together.

When we work with partners like these, we get outstanding results, as you continue to deliver across the country.

So far, this FBI has worked with partners to capture four subjects on three different continents, allegedly responsible for $1.8 billion in fraud, who were on the run for 3,500 days, and you got them all in just 1.5 months. Outstanding work.

I couldn’t be prouder of what this FBI has accomplished to make America safer.

Today, we join the Nieves family in mourning the loss of Retired Oxnard Police Department Commander Rafael "Ralph" Nieves, who peacefully passed away this morning at the age of 74.

Commander Nieves dedicated 25 years of service to the Oxnard Police Department, beginning his career in September 1978 and retiring in October 2003. Throughout his distinguished career, he served in Patrol, Investigations, Traffic, the Field Tactical Unit, the Colonia Storefront, and as Commander of the Investigations Division. He was widely respected for his professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, unwavering integrity, and commitment to serving the people of Oxnard.

Before joining the Oxnard Police Department, Commander Nieves proudly served in the United States Navy, and following his retirement from OXPD, he returned to military service. His distinguished naval career ultimately concluded with his retirement at the rank of Captain, reflecting a lifetime devoted to serving both his community and his country.

Above all, Ralph was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his wife, Jill, their daughters, grandchildren, great-granddaughter, and all who knew and loved him.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻

CLOSE CALL: An El Paso police officer was nearly hit by a distracted driver during a traffic stop on I-10. No life-threatening injuries were reported. The driver received a citation for Failure to Control Speed Causing a Collision.

The Autumn Lane Fire continues to be the most active this morning while crews say the Old Trails Fire and Fairview Fire stayed within their footprint overnight. Evacuations remain in place as emergency crews continue to work all three fires.

More than 2,000 firefighters are expected in Spokane County to fight the Spokane Area Fires this week. Officials said a key emphasis today is keeping drones out of the sky after 26 individual incidents of interference on Sunday.

Additionally, more than 200 people called the Spokane County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) for evacuation after the fires broke out. Nowels said the sheriff's office has been able to account for all of them by phone except for 14.
