Both parties have taken a pass on education in recent years but the democrats are particularly infuriating because they embolden the special interests that push against reform accountability and results. The only real way to interrupt the cycle of poverty in poor communities is with a great education. To his credit @RahmEmanuel has spoken the loudest for change in k-12 education. We will see if the other democratic presidential candidates follow his lead or continue to be obstacles of sorely needed change

government destroys value.

in this case, the value of an American education was destroyed in ~40 years.

if there’s no marketplace for customers (parents of students) to demand value (quality of education for price paid) by simply going to another service provider (school or educator), it is inevitable that costs will go up and quality will go down.

this is true of any service provided by government, which effectively grants itself a monopoly, deleting the opportunity for other service providers to compete in offering better value to customers/citizens…

Beginning today, we are industrializing nuclear battery production at the historic Vallecitos Nuclear Center.

With this facility, we will deliver our first nuclear battery to customers in 2027 and scale production in 2028 - powering critical missions from the seabed to the lunar surface.

We're excited to announce a $4M Seed round led by @GameChangersVC, with support from incredible investors including @scooterbraun, @GuyOseary, @stellation, @SignalFire, @MaCVentureCap, and others.

A few years ago, while hosting community events and testing early products, my co-founders @WeilynChong, @NathanAhn, and I noticed a consistent pattern.

After every event, people asked the same questions:

Where are the photos? Who captured that moment? How do I reconnect with the people I met?

Great work @zeno_power 👏🏾

Not every mission needs a megawatt.

Nuclear batteries will power the next frontier – beginning in 2027.

Introducing Onairos.

Today, companies steal your data every second, lock it up, and use it to line their pockets.

But at what cost?

The cost is you.

Your data is used to power algorithms that hijack your mind with social media, doomscrolling, rage, and endless consumption.

Don’t forget amazing DC Government leader in schools, parks and recreation. D. C residents benefited tremendously and will forever be grateful for @Ximenatech ‘s work on behalf of kids and families

Great post @FareedZakaria …

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

Blue cities are out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day.

Democrats in city halls should stop governing as if the goal is to announce new entitlements, and instead make government work.

My take:

[Adrian Fenty @adrianfenty]

@FareedZakaria Management + tough decision making + hiring great agency heads = results. Prioritize education, housing and core city services.
