If your kid goes missing, do not wait 24 hours. That rule is a myth. Federal law bars police waiting periods for missing child reports. The report is supposed to be in the FBI's NCIC database within 2 hours. Call police first. Then NCMEC: 1-800-THE-LOST. Did you know this?

239 years later, the United States Constitution, the very foundation of our Republic, is an eternal reminder that all power throughout our land flows from WE THE PEOPLE.

Great news! The launch of Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope was so accurate (thanks @SpaceX Falcon Heavy), as well as an accurate mid course correction means ROMAN could have a 22 year life span with its fuel on board!!! Love to hear it! science.nasa.gov/blogs/roman…

Guardians have removed all doubt that space is a critical part of the Joint fight. Now, it's time to build on that momentum.

Take a break today. Enjoy the parades, the fireworks, and the traditions that bring our amazing communities together. Tomorrow the work continues, but today we celebrate 250 years of American independence and the freedoms that make days like this possible. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The Orion spacecraft’s thrusters ignited for the second return trajectory correction burn to fine‑tune the spacecraft’s path toward Earth. Splashdown of Artemis II is expected around 8:07pm ET on Friday, April 10 (0007 UTC on Saturday, April 11), off the coast of San Diego.

Guardians at the Space Force make sure that both the American public and @NASAArtemis II astronauts are safe during this @nasa mission. They do this by monitoring the space domain for threats during launch operations. More:

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth. On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world. Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

Denying the six Apollo landings isn’t “skepticism.” It’s erasing the work of over 400,000 engineers, technicians, mathematicians, welders, programmers, and astronauts who built the most complex machines in human history. It ignores the factories, the tracking stations, the telemetry, the photographs, the samples, the independent observers, and the entire technological revolution that came out of the program. Pretending all of that never happened doesn’t expose NASA. It exposes how little respect you have for the people who actually built the future. And, in my opinion, doing so should be considered treason.
