From 1776 to today, America has been built on liberty, justice, and the rule of law. As we celebrate Independence Day and look ahead to the next 250 years, the Department of Justice is proud to help protect those enduring values. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 #America250#July4th@Freedom250
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Today is our nations Memorial Day. Enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the true meaning of this day. A day to pay our respects to all those who have given their lives in our country's defense. God bless these brave heroes and their families.
Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or the beginning of summer vacation. Today we honor the military service members who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. Let’s pause to remember and honor them today—and to pray for their families. #NeverForget
Just remember, if The Lord decides to, He can scramble and erase every single plan man has put into place in less than a blink of an eye. His will be done🙏
🚨 WAR ON FRAUD
BIG WIN: 15 individuals were just indicted in Minnesota for an alleged $90+ million health care fraud scheme.
American taxpayers deserve to know exactly where their hard-earned money is going. This is what accountability looks like.
Elon Musk just revealed what’s actually holding AI back.
It’s not chips. Not models. Not data.
It’s concrete.
Someone asked him the obvious question. Why not just build private power plants next to data centers? Bypass the grid entirely.
His answer was four words.
Musk: “The power plant makers.”
There aren’t enough of them.
You can design the best chip on earth. Train a frontier model. Raise $10 billion for a hyperscale data center.
None of it matters if you can’t power it.
Musk: “You can drill down a level further.”
GPUs need power. Power needs turbines. Turbines need factories. Factories need permits. Permits need a government that hasn’t paralyzed itself.
Every link in the chain is physical. And every one of them is breaking.
We can train a frontier model in weeks. We can’t permit a power plant in under five years.
The country that invented the assembly line now needs 40 agencies to approve a gas turbine.
China doesn’t have this problem. They don’t run 7-year environmental reviews on infrastructure they need tomorrow. They break ground while America requests approval to break ground.
The AI race won’t be decided by whoever writes the best algorithm.
It’ll be decided by whoever can still build in the physical world.
We spent 30 years getting faster in software and slower in steel. Outsourcing manufacturing. Hollowing out supply chains. Treating builders like liabilities instead of assets.
Now the bill is due.
Every breakthrough in AI is gated by atoms. Steel. Concrete. Turbines that take years to manufacture and decades to approve.
The smartest code on earth is worthless without electricity.
Musk didn’t give a speech about this. He didn’t need to. He answered one question and the whole infrastructure myth collapsed.
“Where do you get the power plants from?”
Follow that thread far enough and you stop finding a technology problem.
You find a civilization that mastered thinking and forgot how to build.
Elon Musk just told a story that should terrify every AI company on Earth.
His son Saxon is autistic.
Saxon couldn’t understand why the family went to restaurants.
You can get the same food delivered.
You can call your friends over.
You can eat better at home for half the price.
So why go?
Musk: “He had an epiphany and said, ‘Oh, the reason people go to restaurants is to hang out with strangers.’”
A kid who takes the world literally just decoded something the rest of us never thought to question.
We like being around people we’ll never know.
Look at what we already built.
Delivery apps so you never wait in line.
Remote work so you never share an office.
Self-checkout so you never talk to a cashier.
Every innovation of the last 20 years was a bet against human proximity.
Every one paid off.
Until it didn’t.
Loneliness is now a public health emergency.
Depression has doubled since the smartphone.
The average American has fewer close friends than any generation in history.
We didn’t remove friction.
We removed the thing friction was hiding.
Now look at what’s coming.
AI agents that handle your emails.
AI companions that replace your conversations.
AI assistants that make every human interaction optional.
Same playbook. Same bet.
Except this time we’re not engineering out strangers.
We’re engineering out humans entirely.
The coffee shop where nobody knows your name.
The subway where no one speaks.
The restaurant where you’ll never see that couple again.
Those aren’t failed connections.
They’re the background radiation of belonging.
We don’t just need people who know us.
We need to exist in rooms full of people who don’t.
That’s what a kid understood at a dinner table that billion-dollar companies still can’t grasp in a boardroom.
We spent 20 years building a world you never have to show up to.
AI is about to finish the job.
And nothing it builds will ever replicate sitting in a room full of strangers and not feeling alone.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
- Psalm 143:8
