My opening statement today at the Joint Economic Committee in Congress about high skilled immigration ⬇️ I argue that shifting legal immigration to select younger and more educated immigrants can help us: 📉 Reduce the debt 📈 Increase growth 👶🏻 Increase births @JECRepublicans

Economic growth must start with our communities. Amid the Trump Administration’s attacks on our federal workforce, that means building on the industries that already make Maryland strong— like healthcare, biotech, transportation, finance, and emerging technologies like quantum computing. Last week, the Senate Finance Committee advanced Senate Bill 770, my legislation to build a Maryland economy rooted in industries of the future to create good jobs and real opportunity across the State.

A landmark lawsuit against 10 manufacturers of ultraprocessed foods alleges that, like the tobacco companies, they knowingly engineered and marketed addictive, dangerous products while hiding the risks and causing a public health crisis. cbsn.ws/4aiN7LY








Jamie Diamond- it’s a swamp- when he’s asked about raising taxes he says it all goes to special interest groups listen to the audience chuckle - they know

Billy Donovan shares a lesson that changed how his players thought about winning. At Florida, he had a manager track how long the ball was in each player's hands during a game. He asked one of his starters: "How many minutes do you think you had the ball in your hands for the game?" The player said 15 minutes when he had played 30. The real numbers? "A backcourt player, for the most part, is probably 92% of the game gonna be played without the ball in their hands. A frontcourt player - 95% of their minutes is gonna be played without the ball in their hands." Think about that. You're playing without the ball almost the entire game. "It's amazing to me how many players focus on points, points, points. That's what goes on ESPN. That's what gets the highlights." "But if you're gonna strictly talk about winning and you're really driven and motivated by winning and competing and being a good teammate, you have to look at the fact is -- what am I doing with my 92, 93, 94, 95%?" "Am I screening? Am I running the floor? Am I on the floor for loose basketballs? Am I rebounding? Am I taking a charge?" "There's so many ways to impact the game with the amount of time you're on the floor when the ball's not in your hands." This is what separates good players from winning players. You control how you show up. You control your attitude. You control your effort. Great teammates master what they do when no one's watching - and when the ball isn't in their hands. Winning isn't about the glamour. It's about the 95%. (🎥@Coaching_U ) (🎥@brendansuhr)



Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."




GDP growth is currently an outstanding 3.9%, and AI is 40% of that. It’s easy for politicians to posture and grandstand by beating up on tech. But the real question is whether they want 4% growth rates or 2% growth rates.
