I’ll take the trillionaire creating thousands of millionaires over the millionaires creating trillions in debt.

You see a trillion dollars. Gavin sees 3/4 of a mile of high speed rail.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration. More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

Sometimes... We have to remember that the people we are arguing with thought Joe Biden was competent.

The @realDailyWire content just tells me that Latter-day Saints will never fully belong to or align with any political coalition or group. What we hold to be true will always be at odds to some degree with the world and man-made organizations. It is important to associate with those who share values with us. It is important to build relationships with nations, groups and people. We still want to open doors to share the goodness of Jesus Christ. But our faith will never tie perfectly into a political ideology or coalition until Jesus Christ comes again and rules on the earth. “If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.” (AoF 13) There are plenty of these things in the world. But we must be careful to not confuse any political movements or affiliations with our true identity as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ. We will always be a peculiar people. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:” (1 Peter 2:9)

NASA appears to be centralizing a lot of their high-resolution Artemis II media at this link. A good one to keep in your bookmarks. nasa.gov/gallery/journey-to-…

If you're under 53 years old, you have never once been alive while a human was farther than 250 miles from Earth. Tonight, four astronauts are heading 252,000 miles out. That's a thousand times farther than any person has gone in your lifetime. The 250-mile ceiling is where the International Space Station floats. Every astronaut since December 1972 has been stuck in that zone. Spacewalks, science experiments, cool photos from orbit, sure. But nobody left the neighborhood. The last crew to go farther was Apollo 17. December 1972. Nixon was president. The internet didn't exist. Cell phones were 11 years away. The youngest member of that crew is now 90 years old. The farthest any human has ever been from Earth is 248,655 miles. The Apollo 13 crew set that number in 1970, and they didn't mean to. Their oxygen tank blew up, and the emergency route home took them farther out than anyone before or since. Tonight's crew will break that record on purpose. And the crew itself. Victor Glover becomes the first Black astronaut to leave Earth's neighborhood. Christina Koch becomes the first woman. Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian fighter pilot, becomes the first non-American to do so. When they come home, they'll slam into the atmosphere at 25,000 mph, faster than any human has ever traveled. The Moon's south pole has ice. Water ice, sitting in craters so deep that sunlight hasn't hit them in billions of years. A 2024 NASA study found way more of it than anyone expected. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which gives you rocket fuel, breathable air, and drinking water, all made on the Moon instead of hauled up from Earth. George Sowers at Colorado School of Mines calculated that Moon-made fuel could shave $12 billion off a single trip to Mars. The Moon is a gas station on the road to Mars. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced last week a $20 billion plan to build a permanent base at the South Pole over the next seven years, with landings every six months. China is developing its own lunar lander and spacesuit, aiming for a crewed landing by 2030. The Artemis program has burned through $93 billion so far, and the first actual surface landing is penciled in for 2028. There's a real question of who gets there first this time around. Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of Apollo 17. He's 90. Asked about it this week, he sounded pretty relaxed. "Mars is attainable," he said. "We're humans. That's what we've always done."

Makes sense

I received this message from one of Captain Cody Khrok’s best friends today. Captain Khork was one of the 4 soldiers killed in Kuwait. “Josie, I saw you are posting about some of the service members who passed away in Kuwait. It would me the world to me to share more about Cody’s life, pictures, stories. Cody was the best of us. He always wanted to be in the military and came from a military family. He moved to my neighborhood in Winter Haven Florida in middle school. He was my best friend and grew into family. He called my mom, mom and she raised him for a period of time in high school. I used my job at Publix Supermarkets to get him hired and he worked with me at the local store a couple of years in collage. He lived with me after basic training for a period of time before buying his dads house in Winter Haven and deploying regularly  He graduated from Lake Region High School in Eagle Lake (2008) and Florida Southern College in Lakeland  (2014). He enlisted in the National Guard in 2009 and later commissioned as a Military Police Officer in the Army Reserve in 2014. During his service, he deployed to Saudi Arabia in 2018, Guantanamo Bay in 2021, and Poland in 2024. He also spend time deployed in Korea and Africa but I’m unsure of the exact years.  He received numerous medals and honors recognizing his service, leadership, and commitment to others. Some pictures of that below.  Cody played paintball semi professionally on a team for a period of time, enjoyed video games. He was a huge Florida Gators football fan and Tampa Bay Lightning fan and we went to many games together over the years.  Friends will tell you he was an amazing person, hilarious sense of humor, and most importantly the life of the party. Everybody who worked with him in the military looked up to him and said he would lead from the front. He helped many proper through the darkest times in their lives and was part of the best times.   He was also unapologetically American which I think he would say is the most important part.” And what an impossibly brave, good, and generous person Cody was. Well done. Good and faithful servant. Rest now.

On that note: If the @Space_Station touched down on the #SBLX football field tonight, you’d see they’re very nearly the same size! The orbiting lab is 357 feet end-to-end – almost the same size as a football field, including both end zones.

Republicans, if you're not going to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court, then propose an Amendment that mandates the filibuster and fixes the number of Justices at 9. If Dems oppose that, then guess what? They're going to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court.

Robotaxi rides without any safety monitors are now publicly available in Austin. Starting with a few unsupervised vehicles mixed in with the broader robotaxi fleet with safety monitors, and the ratio will increase over time.
