While some focus on what could go wrong with AI, stories like this show what can go right. Meta’s donation of Ray-Ban Meta glasses to blind veterans will help them navigate the world more independently and confidently. Thank you @Meta 🇺🇸
Honored to announce that @Meta will donate Ray-Ban Meta glasses to every blind veteran in America to thank them for their sacrifices to our country.  It was really a pleasure to make this announcement alongside @danawhite as he continues to make veterans’ causes a priority.

Innovation is taking off—literally! Big thanks to the @Amazonleo and Prime Air teams for a great visit that showcased how satellite services and commercial drone delivery will help expand access to connectivity, lower costs for consumers, and strengthen U.S leadership in aerospace technologies. I sincerely appreciated the discussion and Amazon’s continued commitment to U.S. manufacturing, job creation, and investment in American innovation.

Pittsburgh helped build the future of robotics. Now America needs to lead it. My new bipartisan bill, the National Robotics Commission Act, will strengthen U.S. competitiveness, protect our supply chains, and create high skilled, high-paying jobs right here in PA. post-gazette.com/business/te…

Reps @JayObernolte and @RepLoriTrahan deserve credit for a good-faith, bipartisan effort at national AI legislation. If we want more members of Congress to engage like this, we as citizens need to encoruage it. Hyperbolic reactions to a discussion draft have the opposite effect.

America answers the call. President Trump challenged us to deliver advanced reactors by our 250th anniversary, and today we’re already crossing a historic milestone — the first commercial non-light-water reactor gone critical in the U.S. in more than 40 years. This is what American ingenuity and determination look like. The nuclear renaissance is here.

AI could be the most transformational technology of our lifetimes. @POTUS’s new AI EO is a strong start for getting the balance right: let innovation flourish, keep America ahead, and protect our workforce, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and families across the country.

America's competitive advantage in AI will depend on whether we can modernize the policies governing broadband deployment, energy infrastructure, data centers, and next-generation networks. America has the talent, capital, and entrepreneurial spirit to lead. Now we need the policy framework that allows builders to build. Read more in my interview with Telecom Review Americas discussing the policies that will help ensure U.S. leadership in AI and digital infrastructure.

Mississippi is No. 2 in America for growth in job openings since 2020, with hiring demand up nearly 20%. The state average? -9.6% This is what Mississippi Momentum looks like.

Everybody living in these communities deserves answers, and every concern should go through the proper legal and environmental process. That means permits for air, water, noise, temperature, and full disclosure before anything gets built. But after our Utah project was approved, a wave of misinformation started spreading claims that we’re draining the Great Salt Lake, stealing Utah’s power, or building something the size of Manhattan. None of it is true. We’re building our own power generation, following the law, and creating thousands of jobs and major tax revenue for Utah communities. So I started asking where all this coordinated opposition was coming from. That led us to organizations like Alliance for a Better Utah and funding networks connected through groups like Arabella. After reviewing IRS filings and conducting audits, I became convinced that foreign linked money, including interests connected to China, is helping fuel efforts to slow power generation and data center development in the United States.

America can’t win the AI and energy race if we let bad actors hijack honest local debates. Communities should decide what’s built in their backyard, but they deserve facts, transparency, and freedom from foreign-funded disinformation campaigns trying to weaken us. foxnews.com/politics/agitato…

We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions. I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it.

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding? A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating. AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases. We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy. Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.

The successes of the last year will be the foundations of a century of innovation. The reforms and actions @POTUS’s nuclear EOs signed 1 year ago called for are not merely an evolution in American energy infrastructure, they are bringing about a revolution for American power.
