Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Shot from the boat access picnic spot on #SaguaroLake. Wonderful spot.

"Everywhere else you look, the Trump administration seems determined to harm our long-term competitiveness and capacity for innovation; the attacks on universities and the dramatic rollback in federally funded research will probably put a damper on our national economic dynamism for decades to come"

The civilian death toll in Gaza is unacceptable. Anyone who doesn’t see this as straight up genocide is not looking. It is so tragic on top of the October tragedy. Humanity is broken.

The first official Memorial Day observance was in Arlington in 1868, three years after the Civil War ended—but the first recorded such observance was less than a month after the war’s end in 1865, when formerly enslaved Black people in Charleston commemorated the Union soldiers who helped free them.

The bill is still a mess but this is a win. Thank you, America. They heard you. House Republicans have dropped the provision that would’ve sold off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada.

Always a privilege to get to fire up a crowd to invest in themselves. Leaning into #AI to make it serve our common good is a smart way foward. Thank you #M365conf for all the fun. Shout out to #DonaSarkar for her “Do the Thing” inspiration. ❤️💙❤️

Perfect example of how NOT to do it. When advancement comes at the peril of others it’s not advancement

Postcard from Mars: Perseverance Rover posed for a selfie after completing the latest sampling activities on Sol 1500 (May 10, 2025) and commemorating over 1,500 days on Mars.

Look at this list and see how little our national parks cost the American people. My park has an appropriated budget of $3 million. That's it. By way of comparison, that's 4 percent of the cost of just one of the fighter jets we've lost overboard in the last week.

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

Form an alert circle and protect the children. Good advice.

People had cool signs today but this one summed it up for me in an understated way. 💙💙💙💙 (posted with permission)

Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk was just awarded a $5.9 billion taxpayer-funded SpaceX contract by Trump—the largest in a new package of space deals. Trump ensured Musk got the money, fully aware he’s facing “steep personal cost.”

My 85 year old mother wanted to go out to a protest today so we did! Standing up for our rights is a family affair. Huge turnout!

You might not be in the stock market but the people who employ you are. Plus it’s a scam job to let the billionaires buy low & exploit the desperation of others. Don’t get distracted & always follow the money.

there are literally 1,000 protests being held in 1,000 cities across america tomorrow. www.mobilize.us/handsoff/map/ find one near you and raise hell

Remembering #Mykonos vacation in 2016. Can’t wait to go there again. #timelinecleanse #morethanwork

Lots of negativity about #AI out here. Some warranted, some prejudice, some completely wrong. Either way ranting against AI is like complaining about the sky. It’s not going anywhere no matter what you say about it.

Kash Patel grew up in a Hindu household to Indian parents. He's now the head of the FBI, lacking any real qualifications. Why isn't the right screaming that he's a DEI hire? Linda McMahon is a woman! :gasp: DEI? What am I missing here?

The women who came before me didn’t fight for my rights so I could be “demure & mindful”. They did it so I would have a chance to fight for more. More opportunity, more equity and more visibility - all for those who come after me. Every day is Int'l Women's Day in my world. #IWD2025
