Congratulations to Karoline and her hubby ❤️ JOYFUL NEWS! — WHITE HOUSE CELEBRATES AS KAROLINE LEAVITT WELCOMES BABY #2! T.R.U.M.P AND V.A.N.C.E SET TO GUEST HOST PRESS BRIEFINGS! The briefing room is about to get a lot more "presidential"! Karoline Leavitt, 28, the youngest Press Secretary in history, has officially traded her legal pads for diaper bags after welcoming her second child—a beautiful baby girl—just this week! As Karoline begins her well-deserved maternity leave, the White House has unveiled a "powerhouse" plan to keep the news flowing. In a move that has the D.C. press corps buzzing, President Donald T.r.u.m.p himself, along with Vice President JD Vance and top Cabinet officials, are reportedly preparing to step behind the podium as guest hosts. With the "Voice of the Administration" focusing on her new arrival, is Washington ready for the unscripted energy of a Trump-led briefing room?

It is very difficult for rats in a sewer pipe to know what’s going on in the outside world. Some color for the Iranian Leadership as they literally sit in the dark: 1. The United States has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz. 2. There is a hard currency, i.e. U.S. dollar, shortage. 3. Food and gasoline rationing are in place. 4. The entire international community has turned against you. 5. The BLOCKADE will continue, until there is pre-February 27 Freedom of Navigation.

What a difference 1 year can make … Cortex 2.0 as it appeared on 30 April 2025 and how it looks 1 year later. As incredibly fast as @Tesla works, it still takes awhile to complete massive new projects like this. The lead times for these projects (and acquiring and/or manufacturing the equipment for their operation) can be brutal, often measured in years. This is why we already see work in progress for the Optimus Factory (IMHO, probably in a phase 1 then a later, phase 2 expansion approach to begin early operation as quickly as possible) with a target of late 2027 for initial operation and also the new Advanced Technology Chip Fab probably initial operation in early 2028 (IMO based on current progress).

In 2012 we started building Superchargers, as charging infrastructure just wasn't taken seriously. Superchargers are growing 1+ stall every hour and are a pillar for EV adoption. We're now doing the same for electric Semis with Megachargers. The goal is to transform this industry next. It's super exciting to be part of a company that can will this into existence. The @TeslaCharging teams are cut out for this and are inspired to make it happen. Different from the early days of Superchargers, is that companies and fueling providers are finally taking charging more seriously. We're seeing a lot of interest to invest in charging infrastructure, including Semi infrastructure. This is great. We'll be building out Megachargers either way, but if other companies are investing in private or public Semi charging, consider doing it with the very best hardware, software & service: Semi Charging for Business tesla.com/semi-charging-…

At the deepest level of suffering that a human can experience, @MrsErikaKirk pointed to Jesus Christ and expressed her enduring faith in Him. Untold numbers accepted Christ as Savior because her moment of suffering was redirected into His moment of suffering. I am appalled by the attacks on Erika Kirk. I know that Satan will always attack the most valiant warriors for the Kingdom. As Brothers and Sisters in Christ, let’s continue to lift up the Kirk family in our prayers.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has officially declared May NATIONAL FOSTER CARE MONTH "This has been a big thing for the First Lady, so this is in honor of our first lady!"

🚨 JUST NOW: Speaker Johnson says ICE and CBP are about to OFFICIALLY be fully funded for the next 3 YEARS, making them immune from Democrat games under President Trump "We've got the budget resolution passed. This is very, very important because that will ensure that border security and immigration enforcement will continue today and well into the future, despite Democrat attempts to reopen our borders and protect criminal illegal aliens from removal." "The net result of passing our reconciliation bill is that ICE and CBP are funded for three years." "Democrats got absolutely nothing for their political charade and shenanigans out there."

UPDATE | USA… the White House is about to receive something that no policy, no ceremony, and no State Dinner could ever match — three babies — and I need every American reading this right now to stop for one moment and feel what that means — Karoline Leavitt, who stood at that briefing room podium for 39 weeks straight without one single complaint, is days away from holding her baby girl — Usha Vance, who showed up to every ceremony, every event, every moment her husband needed her while carrying their child inside her, is almost there — and Katie Miller, Stephen Miller’s wife, who has quietly stood beside her husband through everything, is right there too — three women, all in their final weeks, all carrying new life inside them, all having given this country everything they had while doing it — and I want every American reading this at whatever hour you are seeing this to close your eyes for one second and just pray, one simple prayer, that all three babies arrive safe, that all three mothers are healthy, and that the White House which has carried so much heaviness these last few days gets to finally exhale with the kind of joy that only a newborn baby can bring into a room — because after everything this week has held, America deserves a good news moment, and I genuinely believe God is about to give us three of them at once. God, please watch over Karoline, Usha, and Katie tonight. Bring all three babies into this world safe and healthy. The White House is ready for some joy. If you are praying for these three families tonight… say it below. Let them feel every single one of us. #fblifestyle #KarolineLeavitt #JDVance #StephenMiller

🚨 ICE JUST NEUTRALIZED A FLYING CHEMICAL NIGHTMARE: 15 STOLEN C31 DRONES RECOVERED IN NJ — BEFORE THEY COULD WEAPONIZE AMERICA'S SKIES! 🔥 In the shadows of a Dover, New Jersey warehouse, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Newark — working hand-in-glove with the New Jersey State Police Cargo Theft Unit — just pulled off a masterclass in proactive enforcement. On April 27, they located and recovered 15 stolen Ceres Air C31 industrial spraying drones. Each one: a precision-engineered beast capable of hauling up to 40 gallons of liquid chemicals, blanketing 15+ acres in under 8 minutes at 40+ mph, with RTK GPS, 360° obstacle radar, night-vision cameras, and corrosion-proof build for harsh ops. Price tag per unit? ~$58,000. Total haul? Nearly $870,000 in dual-use tech that started as farm equipment... and could have ended as something far darker. These weren't your hobbyist toys. Stolen March 24 from CAC International in Harrison via a sophisticated scam — fake bill of lading, phony confirmation email, bogus "delivery driver" — the drones sat untouched in a Prudent Corp. warehouse for over a month. FBI analysts flagged the theft as a potential "nightmare scenario": weaponized dispersal of chemicals, pathogens, or worse over populated areas or cropland. Agroterrorism meets airborne precision. History whispers warnings — from Aum Shinrikyo's sarin attempts to modern supply-chain exploits by cartels and adversaries. Dual-use tech like this is the new frontier of asymmetric threats. But ICE HSI didn't wait for headlines. They connected dots during an unrelated cargo theft probe and grounded the threat cold. No arrests announced yet — investigation ongoing — but this is enforcement at its sharpest: interagency precision, supply-chain vigilance, and zero tolerance for vulnerabilities that adversaries love to exploit. In an era of open borders, fentanyl floods, and tech proliferation, this is what real national security looks like: quiet professionals turning potential catastrophe into a win for public safety. America doesn't need more bureaucracy. It needs more of this — relentless, intelligent disruption of the networks that treat our homeland as their playground. Salute to HSI Newark and NJSP. Your work just made the skies (and fields) safer for every family from coast to coast. #ICEGroundsTheThreat #DroneNightmareAverted #HSINewarkHeroes #NationalSecurityWin #DualUseTechExposed #ProtectAmericaFirst #CargoTheftTakedown #AgroTerrorStoppedCold

🙏 Heavenly Father, please wrap Your healing arms around the nine precious children from the Goldsboro school bus crash, restore them to full health, calm their young hearts, comfort their families, and surround them all with Your perfect peace and protection. In Jesus Name. Amen.

The Southern California city of Westminster has officially installed "Charlie Kirk Way" signs to honor the late conservative activist.

🚨 NEWS: X just completed its largest infrastructure migration in company history. A team of 16 engineers worked over 6 weeks to cut the platform's footprint from 6M CPU cores down to a fraction of that. Less hardware. Lower cost. Faster platform. This is the kind of efficiency legacy social networks cannot match.

We delivered the first fully-humanless commercial truckload on a public highway in America. Full stop. No in-cab observer. No remote controller. No passenger. Just the truck, the freight, and a load that made us money. A 230-mile journey from Houston to Dallas on Interstate 45, one of the busiest freight corridors in Texas. It took less than three years to get to this point, so how did we do it? 1. A dedicated vision unclouded by distractions or offshoots. We want to move freight for customers who believe in the power of autonomy, so we did. 2. A team that is THE best at what they do. From our engineers to our safety advocates to our leadership, everyone was pointed towards the same goal. 3. Technology that never faltered, never questioned itself, and performed exactly as designed and tested. 4. A partner who trusts us to get the job done. Ryan Transportation booked and paid for this run, we delivered on time for a service lane they have struggled with in the past. So now what? We do it again. And again, and again. We expand our lanes, start running southbound on I-45, book more loads, and deliver more freight. We stay true to our mission of unbeatable service and grow to be THE trusted autonomy provider in Texas, then in America. The autonomy economy is real; it's here right now. We are leading the charge, and we will keep winning.

They need to begin production first and that is only just now starting to prepare for June deliveries. I think real delivery notifications will start going out in a week or two, but I’ll probably be able to tell more about the trend line & progress towards this goal for sure in the outbound lot sometime in the next two weeks or so.

I’m unboxing a T-shirt I just received from Tesla. It’s the new “Amazing Abundance” Optimus T-shirt. At first it seems like a regular black T-shirt. It actually signifies so much more than something to wear. On the front in small blue letters it says “amazing abundance.” On the back is the beautiful image of the Optimus robot reflecting the planet Earth. When people see that, they’re going to stop and ask me what that means. Most people right now think we’re headed toward a sad world of austerity and scarcity. Amazing abundance means the opposite. It means we can have big families. We’ll only really have to work if that’s what we desire. Thanks to robotic mass production, there will be enough so we will not want for anything. If you want to live in a penthouse, we can all live in penthouses. For me, I’m so excited for the future for my children and my future grandchildren. This is one of the best T-shirts Tesla has ever made. This shirt represents a whole new chapter for Tesla, one of amazing abundance, not limits. Optimus is proof we’re building that future right now.

@LamarMK Pretty much my thoughts too
