This is a particularly special mother's day in the Vance clan, as Usha is about to become a mom for the fourth time. We thought it would be fun to put out a little excerpt from my new book about the early days of our relationship.
To all the moms out there, but especially to Usha: Happy Mother's Day!

One of the greatest honors of my life was leading the dedication of President Donald J. Trump’s statue to the world.
What amazes me is how quickly some people have compared this beautiful statue, created and made possible by more than 6,000 patriots, to a golden calf or idol worship.
Let me be very clear.
We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.
The Word of God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3.
It also says, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” Matthew 4:10.
That is the line.
Honor is not worship.
Respect is not idolatry.
Celebration is not bowing down to a false god.
Romans 13:7 says, “Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.”
Giving honor where honor is due is biblical.
Bowing down and worshipping an idol is sinful.
There is a major difference.
This statue was not created for worship. It was created as a symbol of resilience, patriotism, courage, and gratitude. It was created to honor a man whom many may disagree with, but millions of Americans believe has done extraordinary things to make this nation stronger.
People celebrate athletes, musicians, entertainers, and cultural icons while they are still alive. Michael Jordan has a statue in Chicago. Cristiano Ronaldo, Taylor Swift, Shakira, Ed Sheeran, and many others have been honored publicly in different ways. Yet Christians were not screaming “golden calf” over those moments.
So why now?
You may dislike President Trump. That is your choice.
But you are in gross error if you think for one second that I worship this magnificent statue or anything made by human hands.
Acts 17:24 says, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.”
My worship belongs to God.
My gratitude can still honor people.
My faith is in Christ.
My respect for a leader does not replace my reverence for the Lord.
Before you judge, condemn, or spread false accusations, use spiritual discernment.
1 John 4:1 says, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God.”
Some of you know the voice of the Holy Spirit. Listen to that voice before you give room to the devil through lies, slander, and false judgment.
Ephesians 4:27 says, “Nor give place to the devil.”
We can disagree politically and still tell the truth spiritually.
This was not idol worship.
This was honor.
This was gratitude.
This was patriotism.
And above all, Jesus Christ is still Lord.

UNHINGED: An angry Kent State University student approached @tpusastudents with a pair of scissors during their campus tabling event, popped at least a dozen balloons, mocked Charlie Kirk’s assassination, called the students “neck gushers,” and told them to “go f*** yourselves.” @TPUSA

The Quick desktop app is here, and it’s compelling.
Connects to your email, calendar, Slack, local files, and several other apps to flag important communications, retrieve and summarize info, make recommendations, send communications, and create agents that do work you used to have to do yourself. Gets smarter and more personalized the more you use it.
Been using it a lot recently and is changing how I work. It’s allowing me to use applications like my inbox more like an archive, and Quick as my personalized, prioritized, productivity hub that can multi-task various needs.
Still early days, and a lot more coming, but excited for folks to start using it to make the undifferentiated work so much less complicated. aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazo…

AI is progressing rapidly: GPT-5.4 Pro (xhigh) has achieved a massive 10 point gain in CritPt, a benchmark where the highest score was only 9% in Nov ‘25
This is the largest incremental gain we have seen from a single release. CritPt is a benchmark with a private dataset that tests performance on research-level physics reasoning tasks.
When CritPt was released in November 2025 the highest score was 9% (Gemini 3 Pro Preview). Only ~4 months later the highest score has more than tripled to 30%.

Obviously the only way to lower taxes is to raise other taxes.

Within hours of the Epstein file release,
a superPAC funded by Israel-first billionaires Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson, who himself appears in Epstein’s black book,
bought another $800,000 of TV ads against me.
I’ll still win, but if I lose, it was worth it.

Back in Washington, and @POTUS and I are still working to make health care more affordable for the American people.
Money should NOT go to big insurers. It should go to the patient to GIVE PATIENTS THE POWER!

@RepKiley "we're losing the war we started, we must end this senseless redistricting war"
English
The gerrymandered Texas map has been struck down in court, but California's Prop. 50 map remains. At the last minute, Newsom and the Legislature took out language saying California will only gerrymander if Texas does.
We need to end this senseless redistricting war.

Bumped into @QuinnyPig & @mistwire at Kubecon. Always good to see folks in person and hear they’re doing well. People are still what matters most in this business.
