Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
#OTD in 1967, John McCain was shot down and taken prisoner. He would spend 5 and half years as a PoW during which time he was routinely tortured. He refused an offer for early release. Whether you agreed with him politically or not, there is no denying that the man was tough.
First, General Mattis is a MARINE. Four effing years as Commander in Chief and you didn't bother to learn the difference between a Soldier and Marine, you lazy SOB?
Second, you clearly have no respect for any Troops and Veterans, which is why you called us Suckers and Losers.
Saddened to hear of the passing of John Kinsel Sr., one of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers, who proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Semper Fi.

As one of the Japanese Americans held for years without charge or trial, myself just a 5-year old child, simply because we looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor, the comparison to the convicted J6 criminals is both demeaning and offensive.
Keep us out of your mouth.
As of the end of 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Waste Fund balance was $47.7 B. That fund was accumulated through a 0.1 cent (1 mil) per kWh fee on nuclear generated electricity. The fund continues to grow.
It is inaccurate to imply that taxpayers are going to pay for “guarding” nuclear waste.
It’s feasible to permanently dispose of the waste with a cost-effective deep borehole + horizontal lateral system as championed by Deep Isolation, a @nucleationvc portfolio company
PULP FICTION is 30!
This movie launched like a rocket out of Cannes and changed my life. It debuted in theaters on this day in 1994 and I’ll always remember the audience reaction. I knew this film was something special after that…AND 30 YEARS LATER, IT STILL IS.
Today in Florida, I announced $612 million for new grid projects to support communities impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
This funding will make the impacted region’s power system stronger and more resilient – by putting lines underground and introducing cutting-edge technologies to reduce the frequency and duration of power outages while extreme weather events become more frequent.
This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, I am thinking about the young Indigenous leaders I met in Arizona last week.
I am counting on their leadership and looking forward to our partnership.
