Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47 - Great conversation with @SwedenInUSA Amb. Ahlin on the recently signed U.S.-Sweden Tech Prosperity Deal and the next steps on implementation. 
Also had the chance to visit the impressive Kalmar Nyckel, a replica of the ship that brought the first Swedes to the U.S. in 1638, docked at the Wharf in D.C. for @America250.

Donald Ward @WardoftheStates - A few folks have pointed out Audie Murphy holds his M1928A1 submachine gun by the forward sling. That is a slightly odd grip but from what I understand this is not a Hollywood gimmick but rather how he actually fired a Thompson in WW2.
It helps reduce muzzle climb and it mimics the forward grip which was prevalent on older models of the "Chicago Typewriter" Tommy guns.
Murphy was not the only soldier-turned-actor to do this.
In Battleground (1949) James Whitmore plays a 101st paratrooper in the Battle of the Bulge. In the screenshot he too holds his Thompson by the forward sling albeit from a southpaw position.
Whitmore was a Marine 2nd Lieutenant at Saipan where he presumably learned this trick.

I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Dr. Heidi Klessig @heidiklessigmd - After heart surgery, the parents of a 13-year-old girl were told that their daughter was dying, and that they should start making end-of-life decisions, including donating her organs.
Upon transferring their daughter to another hospital however, they were told that doctors at Oregon Health and Science University had installed her new heart valve upside down.
“Doctors at Seattle Children's removed the inverted valve and replaced it with a different one, properly positioned. Her heart promptly began to function correctly. She was successfully taken off cardiac bypass and no longer required ECMO.
Her condition continued to stabilize over the following days in Seattle Children's ICU. After more than a month in critical condition, she was able to return home with her parents.”

DrOzCMS @DrOzCMS - The defrauding of our health care programs has been going on for a long time — and it escalated during COVID.
The era of defrauding taxpayers is over.
President Donald Trump and VP Vance’s @WHFraudTF are putting a stop to the fraud and holding bad actors accountable.
