This initiative will help strengthen our nation by connecting more Americans with careers in the skilled trades, growing the workforce that builds, maintains, and powers our country.
Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s visionary leadership, we are driving toward a NATO 3.0 in which Europe takes primary responsibility for its conventional defense. Many said that it could not be done – that Europe couldn’t or wouldn’t step up. That is being disproved before our eyes. 1/
One day there will be an announcement that lands like Thor’s hammer. Clarity will be brought amidst either tears of joy or tears of despair.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others.
That’s one big chandelier…
The @NASAHubble team captured this sparkling photo of the Chandelier Cluster, a globular star cluster within our Milky Way galaxy. A globular cluster is a dense collection of thousands to millions of stars bound by gravity. https://t.co/hkks3ngsPU
There is a famous Eastern idiom: "A bird startled by the mere twang of a bow-string." A bird wounded by an arrow will panic and fall just by hearing the tiny vibration of a bowstring due to extreme fear.
People often criticize CPTSD patients for being "too sensitive" or "overreacting," which is as absurd as blaming the startled bird for "not being braver." The tweet gently reveals the truth: their nervous system (amygdala) carries old wounds.
Zhuangzi advocated "an empty room generates light." Healing CPTSD isn't about forcing yourself to be "strong" against triggers; it's about creating an "empty room" in your mind when a trigger hits, telling yourself: "That is the bowstring of the past; I am safe now."
Like a stadium full of sports fans doing the wave, neurons coordinate their electrical signals in rhythmic patterns that sweep across the cortex, the brain’s outermost layer.
Recent studies in humans and animals have shown these patterns, called traveling waves, can take on complex shapes, among them a rotating spiral that has been observed during deep sleep, memory retrieval, and other brain processes.
A new study has now captured the fast-spinning waves spanning whole brains, offering clues to how they’re organized and what they might do.

Sparkly, swirly, and surprising 🌌
@ChandraXray data shows that this galaxy, Messier 83, is unusual. Over 20 of its supernova remnants – remains from star explosions – vary drastically in X-ray brightness. Typically, the remnants' brightness would fade slowly over time.
In the heart of the Lagoon Nebula are young, massive stars illuminating the gas and dust around them. These younglings blast enough radiation and particles to sculpt this eye-catching landscape. #MondayMotivation
