Scott Ruskan, Legion of Merit

As catastrophic floods swept through Central Texas, Rescue Swimmer Scott Ruskan and his Coast Guard aircrew answered the call of duty without hesitation—saving 165 lives during his first rescue mission.

When deadly flash floods devastated the Texas Hill Country last summer, the young campers, counselors, and first responders showed unbreakable Texas grit and pure American courage.

… Cate McClymond, who faced rising waters and unimaginable loss — and the U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskan, who, on his very first mission, saved an astonishing 165 lives in the chaos.

This is the spirit that defines us: resilient, selfless, fearless in the face of disaster. Under @POTUS ’ leadership, we're honoring every hero who stepped up when lives were on the line.

Honoring our sacred trust with the American people.

For Sale

Today, I was proud to announce the culmination of years of work!@USDA’s Ag South Building will be put up for sale — to save Americans $1.7 billion.

Taxpayers should no longer foot the bill for unused offices! pic.twitter.com/B714fR8rjt

At @USDA HQ, our South Building is mostly empty and in disrepair—a MASSIVE drain on taxpayer dollars.

Today, USDA officially began the process of turning the South Building over to General Services Administration—because taxpayers should NOT be paying for empty offices!

… facts are staggering:

➡️ 432k sq. ft. and 7k offices
➡️ 85%+ of the building sits vacant 
➡️ Over $1.6 BILLION in delinquent maintenance
➡️ Zero justification for keeping it

That’s government bloat… and under @POTUS , it ends.

This is a major step in right-sizing government, cutting waste, and refocusing USDA on farmers and all the men and women we serve.

Family

Could not have done it better!

Big families are the best. Thank you @evitaduffy_1 for giving @rcamposduffy and me a night out to watch President Trump’s State of the Union address! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/J0CxKNBDj4

“No dream too bold for us to chase.”

“No horizon too distant for us to claim.”

“For our destiny is written by the hand of providence, and these first 250 years were just the beginning.”

“From the rugged border towns of Texas, to the heartland villages of Michigan, from the sunkissed shores of Florida to the endless fields of the Dakotas, and from the historic streets of Philadelphia to right here in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.”

“The Golden Age of America is upon us.”

“The revolution that began in 1776 has not ended.”

“It still continues because the flame of liberty and Independence still burns in the heart of every American patriot.”

“And our future will be bigger, better, brighter, bolder, and more glorious than ever before.”

“Thank you, God bless you and God bless America!”
