WATCH LIVE: Vice President JD Vance delivers remarks at Maine defense manufacturer

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1LdaGCGnpW/

SBA_Kelly in Maine: "A Main Street comeback is unfolding across this great country — because for the last year, the Trump Administration and congressional Republicans in Congress has been laser focused on one thing: putting American workers, families, and small businesses first."

VP on Senator Collins: "She is coming to work every single day and fighting not for a political party or not for any abstraction, she comes to work every single day and she fights for the great people of Maine."

VP: "The Trump Administration enacted the single biggest tax cut in history for Maine's workers. We brought down drug costs — TrumpRx — and ensured that our nation's housing supply goes to citizens, not to private equity investors. We provided historic tax relief for Maine parents and families. We have invested a thousand dollars in every new baby born in the United States of America thanks to Trump Accounts."

VP: "The way to defeat socialism — it's not to throw slogans at people, it's not politician-talk and repeating the same old thing, it's giving people a real stake in the future."

VP: "For 40 years, places like Brewer have been told that it doesn't matter, that it doesn't matter if we make things here in Maine or 5,000 miles away with foreign workers... Just as it was a policy choice by people in Washington to let that happen to you and your community, in 2024, Brewer made a new choice to reverse 40 years of American decline and send Donald J. Trump back to the White House."

VP: In just 18 months, we have seen an industrial renaissance all across the United States. Factory construction employment has exploded. Trillions of dollars are pouring into our country. Orders for new capital goods are breaking records.

VP in Maine: "We want good jobs. We want dignity. We want the dignity of knowing that if you work hard and you build something, if you play by the rules, your country is going to have your back... A welfare check is never going to replace a job."

VP on trade with Canada: "I think that we need to send a message loud and clear to the Prime Minister of Canada: Stop taking advantage of the people of Maine. Stop taking advantage of America. It's over — we expect fairness in our trade policy."

Think about the last time you called 911 and had to wonder if anyone was coming.

That wait is new. It didn't used to be like that here. When I was Sheriff, response times were counted in seconds, the department was fully staffed, and we didn't have street takeovers shutting down intersections or looting on the news every week. When encampments took over Venice, we went and did something about it.

None of that was a miracle. It was a staffed department and a Sheriff willing to use it.
You deserve that back. Fully staffed, fast to your door, on your side. So when you call, we're there.

Help is on the way. Join me.

When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples.

Today: ZERO.

🔺 1.81M+ samples processed
🔺 Backlog had been growing by roughly 75,000 samples per month
🔺 Hundreds of thousands of samples were arriving each year
🔺 Profiles can help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes
🔺 Equipment upgraded
🔺 Resources redirected
🔺 Technology improved
🔺 Bureaucratic barriers removed

DNA profiles belong in CODIS helping law enforcement solve crimes—not stalled in a government backlog.

Under President Trump’s leadership, we are rebuilding the FBI around one standard: MISSION FIRST.

NEW: Empire State Building climbers Ivan Kuznetsov and Angelina Nikolau return to court in Manhattan courtroom their viral engagement stunt more than 1,300 feet above the city lands them in serious legal trouble.

Prosecutors allege the couple broke a lock on a 104th-floor security door, entered restricted areas, and climbed all the way to the building’s broadcasting antenna on July 1.

Now they’re facing charges including reckless endangerment, burglary and criminal mischief. Their attorney is pushing back, arguing the case is overcharged and that the stunt never put building occupants or visitors at risk.

THIS STORY IS INSANE: A Houston Uber driver had TWO POLICE OFFICERS jump into his car during a foot chase and told him to GO after the fleeing suspect.

Anthony Baines was about to pick up a passenger when he saw a shirtless man sprinting through Houston's Heights neighborhood with officers chasing behind him.

Seconds later, the officers were inside his Uber. Baines' dashcam captured one urgently directing him after the suspect: "Go, go that way... go go go go go."
HPD says officers were trying to detain a man accused of threatening to shoot a woman and her children when he ran.

Baines drove the officers during the pursuit before helping get them back to their police vehicle. The suspect ultimately escaped.

Baines says he was glad to help.

The man signed up to drive Uber and somehow ended up assisting Houston cops in a police chase. Would you have done the same thing?

COMPASSION IN ACTION 💙

On August 9, 2026, Denver Police District 2 officers responded to a report of a family disturbance at a residence on N Albion Street. After establishing probable cause, officers made an arrest involving the female party. As the situation unfolded, three children remained on scene, unsure of how they would get home. One of the children, a young man in his early twenties, planned to drive himself and his two younger sisters to their father’s house. But the family vehicle was out of gas, and their family member had no cash or cards to help them get on their way. Without hesitation, Officer Aguirre stepped in. Using $20 from his own pocket, he purchased gas so the kids could get home safely and reunite with their father. 👏

Did Lindsay Clancy’s insanity defense backfire?

Her lawyers say a command hallucination made her a “puppet.” Prosecutors say her conduct shows she knew right from wrong.

Mental illness is not a legal eraser. Cora, Dawson and Callan matter.
