On it

@GovernorVA You're ruining Virginia already and you're an industrial-strength liar.

The President lied about me today on social media. While he tries to distract from the soaring gas prices and economic worry he has caused, here’s what we are doing in Virginia. I’ve signed dozens of bipartisan bills into law to address high housing, healthcare, and energy costs — and not the taxes the President and his allies are lying about. To name a few: 
✅ Stopping predatory middlemen from driving up the cost of prescription drugs
✅ Incentivizing the construction of housing Virginians can actually afford
✅ Protecting families from covering the cost of energy infrastructure improvements
✅ Letting localities adopt affordable housing programs
✅ Incentivizing energy independence
✅ Investing in and growing our healthcare workforce
✅ Helping localities invest in new energy technology

I’ve signed bills to accelerate $7.1 billion in capital investment projects that will bring more than 3,250 jobs to our Commonwealth — including taking the final step in a multi-year process to bring the second-largest economic development project ever in Southern Virginia.

Instead of offering solutions to the problems he is both creating and actively making worse, the President scapegoats. He does it all the time. In Virginia, I am focused on providing stability for families, businesses, and communities — and delivering real results.

You lied about you

🚨 In 2009, a Stanford lecture broke down depression in a way most people had never heard before. And almost no one talks about it. It came from Robert Sapolsky and instead of vague advice, he explained what’s actually happening inside your brain. Why it hits so hard. Why it’s so difficult to escape. He showed that depression isn’t just “feeling sad.” It’s a biological shift. The systems that control motivation, reward, and hope start shutting down. That’s why pleasure disappears things that once felt good simply stop registering. He also explained why people start giving up. It’s not weakness it’s chemistry. When your brain constantly signals that effort won’t lead to reward, it slowly stops trying. That’s what makes depression feel like being stuck, even when you want to move forward. And one of his most powerful insights: awareness matters. Understanding that these feelings have a biological basis can reduce guilt and self-blame which is often the first step toward recovery. That’s why this lecture still matters. Because while people talk about depression… Very few truly understand what it’s doing inside the brain.

@TheCinesthetic Interstellar

Which movie have you ever paid to see twice in a theater?

@PGATUOR Yeah, that was weird today. I was wondering if he was gonna get disciplined.

The patron that yelled “Give me back my son” is going to be permanently banned from Augusta x.com/NUCLRGOLF/stat…

@IngrahamAngle Absolutely crazy thing to say, but he's gone delusional.

What a strange thing to say—why does skin color matter?

@defense_civil25 No way!

🚨Update: Iran says these conditions must be met before any final agreement can be reached - 🔺Control and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz 🔺Payment of war reparations 🔺Release of all frozen assets 🔺A permanent ceasefire on all fronts in the region Iran is also demanding any agreement be confirmed by the United Nations Security Council!

@greta White- gray makes it look dirty- which unfortunately a lot of DC is 🙄

Which do you like more? The gray or the white?

“I found myself a second time before Jesus Crucified. He said to me: ‘Look daughter, and learn how to love,’ and He showed me His five open wounds. . . . ‘Do you see how much I have loved you? Do you really want to love me? Then first learn to suffer. It is by suffering that one learns to love.’” —St. Gemma Galgani

🚨 The company that literally invented Silicon Valley just packed up and LEFT California for good. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) — born in a tiny Palo Alto garage in 1939 with just $538 — has officially relocated its global headquarters to the Houston area in Texas. This isn’t just any tech company. It’s the iconic firm that defined American innovation, created the blueprint for Silicon Valley, and powered the modern digital world. Now its top executives are gone from San Jose. Governor Greg Abbott welcomed them with open arms, calling Texas the best place to do business. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom’s office responded with a cold shrug: “Companies come and go.” No press conference. No plan. Just three dismissive words. Over 350 companies have fled California in recent years, citing sky-high taxes (13.3% top rate), crushing regulations, and insane costs. Texas has zero state income tax — saving top executives hundreds of thousands annually. The symbolism is brutal: the birthplace of Silicon Valley just rejected its own home. If even the company that started it all can’t justify staying, what does that say about the future of every business still in California?

One of the greatest tweets of all time.

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper announced that the United States has begun establishing a new safe passage for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The route will be shared soon to restore confidence and ensure the free flow of commerce. U.S. forces have already begun clearing Iranian-laid sea mines. Two Navy destroyers have transited the strait and are operating in the Gulf to secure the corridor. Underwater drones are now being deployed to accelerate the mine-clearing effort.

I strongly recommend everyone watch this sobering reflection from @BenSasse, who faces a terminal cancer diagnosis. This is what it means to "die well." Truly inspiring.
