This morning, I signed my first Executive Order to speed up permitting in Pittsburgh. From simple home renovations, to small business development, to our next major headquarters, it’s too cumbersome to do business in Pittsburgh - that has to change.

My grandpa told me that in the old days, TV channels would stop broadcasting around midnight. They'd play the national anthem and then go completely off air until morning. Is that real, or is he messing with me?

Ma Rainey, Mother of Blues, was the most popular blues singer of the 1920s. She is the first woman to introduce blues into her performances. She established an entertainment company in 1917 and after a successful career in vaudeville managed theaters in her home state of Georgia.

Today I couldn’t help but be emotional as I visited the homes of my ancestors at Mesa Verde National Park. I’m grateful to those who work to ensure that these sacred spaces are cared for and respected for future generations to experience.
