Rep. Pat Fallon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 4th district, has expressed concerns over national security issues through a series of tweets on December 12, 2024. His posts address matters ranging from international threats to domestic security reforms.

On December 12, 2024, Rep. Fallon highlighted a significant threat posed by Russia's development of "a space-based nuclear weapon designed to destroy US satellites." He emphasized the critical need for the United States to strengthen its presence in space, stating that it is essential "to maintain our edge and protect our national security." "Russia is developing a space-based nuclear weapon designed to destroy US satellites."

Later that day, at 15:46 UTC, Rep. Fallon criticized President Biden's enforcement of sanctions against Iran. He argued that this leniency has enabled Iran to generate "$43 billion in oil exports," thereby facilitating further instability and endangering U.S. forces in the Middle East. "Biden's lax sanction enforcement towards Iran has allowed the largest state sponsor of terror in the world to make $43 billion in oil exports."

In another tweet posted at 17:05 UTC on December 12, Rep. Fallon addressed internal security concerns following "appalling security lapses on July 13." He called for urgent reforms within the Secret Service and stressed that leadership must enhance coordination with local agencies and optimize resource allocation to ensure better protection for those under their care. "The appalling security lapses on July 13 highlight the need for urgent reform in the Secret Service."
