Congratulations to Robert Howden on his appointment as our next Secretary of State. Robert is a dedicated public servant, and I know he’ll lead with integrity, faithfully uphold our election laws, and represent Texas with distinction.

I’m grateful to Gov. @GregAbbott_TX for this appointment and look forward to Robert’s leadership as he oversees our elections and the many important responsibilities of the Secretary of State’s office.

[Taiwan in the US @TECRO_USA]

Happy Fourth of July—all the way from Taiwan! 🇺🇸🇹🇼

Today, we join Americans across the nation in celebrating 250 years of the United States.

The friendship between Taiwan and the United States is built on our shared democratic values, innovation, and the strong ties between our people.

Here’s to many more years of friendship and cooperation. 🎇🤝🎊

@NickKristof @mehdirhasan By your logic, not sending more money kills people. Is there a $ amount the American taxpayers could send overseas that would strip all death? What is it? Please Mr Kristof, tell me how much we need to send!

Greg Sankey is gonna be so furious when he finds out that a tiny archipelagic country with a terrible strength of schedule advanced in a major tournament thanks to a bunch of TIES, when that spot could have potentially gone to a bigger program, like Italy, or maybe Texas A&M.

Baylor is tied for the longest active streak of producing a first-round NBA Draft pick:

2026: Cameron Carr
2025: V.J. Edgecombe
2024: Ja’Kobe Walter / Yves Missi
2023: Keyonte George
2022: Jeremy Sochan
2021: Davion Mitchell

Scott Drew has built an NBA Factory in Waco.

Manufacturers don’t pay sales tax on equipment used to produce products. This Mfg exemption has always existed. Good tax policy does not tax the means of production. A Data Center is a modern factory, the #txlege agreed in 2013. The state and local governments receive tremendous tax revenue in other ways from Data Centers.

@I_amMukhtar @mehdirhasan OP and Mehdi aren’t arguing that it didn’t happen, just that maybe it wasn’t a quarter of a million rape victims. That begs the question(s): How many is ‘acceptable’ vs ‘too many’? How many would have happened w/o mass migration?

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

[Benedict Spence @BenedictSpence]

I see many of you are still bitching about a man who builds rockets, autonomous cars and satellites becoming rich - on the platform he owns.

Maybe get out of bed and go build something yourself?

@nmladenov If the UN is involved (especially UNRA) then this process is doomed to failure…by design… and will only turn into another self perpetuating UN program always seeking $€£¥ to support itself and the Palestinians.
