Vance (12.13 pm ET): Asking the powers that be for one smooth ride.🙏
Waltz (13:48 pm ET): Positive ID on target, building collapsed. Rounds of applause to the IC and Kurilla.
Vance (13:54 pm ET): What? 🤨
Waltz (14:00 pm ET): My bad. Too many acronyms. Our top missile guy was ID’d going into a building that’s now a pile of rubble.
Vance (14:01 pm ET): Can’t argue with results. Good job.
Ratcliffe (14:36 pm ET): Solid first move.
Rubio (17:14 pm ET): Subscribing to Al Jazeera for information, America’s Coverage Newsletter. We’ve got this.
Stephen Miller (17:18 pm ET): Powerful start. Makes you feel a little bit more patriotic, doesn’t it? 😏
Hegseth (17:20 pm ET): Steady as it goes. More strikes to come. Full report tomorrow.
Wiles (17:21 pm ET): Godspeed to those in the field.🙌

Waltz (08:05 am ET): Setting up a principles group to focus on Houthis. Need everyone’s best staff contact for the weekend.
Vance (08:16 am ET): I’m out for a bit, but dropping my two cents. I think we’re moving too fast. There’s too much at risk.
Hegseth (08:27 am ET): VP, your concerns are valid. But, we can’t look indecisive. We have to act. Plus, the Houthis are blocking a core national interest - freedom of navigation.
Waltz (08:32 am ET): Not just about us. It’s about global economy. And Europe’s navies can’t handle the threats. So, like it or not, it’s on us.
Vance (08:45 am ET): If you’re on board, Hegseth, I’m in. But Europe needs to step up.
Hegseth (08:49 am ET): I hear you, Vance. Europeans mooching off American efforts is PATHETIC. But we have to march on. 💪
Miller (09:35 am ET): The President was clear - we act, but we need to see returns from Egypt and Europe.
