It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.

Let’s get it done, Texas!

Some people use the Force… 🤨 I prefer a well-timed toast and a five-year mission. 🥂
May the Fourth be with you… if you must but let’s be honest; I’ve been boldly going since before it was cool. 😉🚀

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy. Since that day, job growth has come to a standstill, with only the non-traded healthcare industry adding meaningfully to payrolls. Also, since that day, inflation has accelerated, with the consumer expenditure deflator increasing at a 3% year-over-year pace, up from 2.5% before the tariffs and well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. And the trend lines don’t look good, especially as the economic fallout from the Iran War hits with full force. The higher energy and other commodity prices caused by the war threaten to do even more economic damage than the tariffs, further undermining growth and pushing inflation higher. The U.S. economy is resilient, but just how resilient is set to be tested.

I’m so tired of this corrupt dealing …

“Will these breached companies ever recover!”

Yes, nobody goes a shit about breaches, not the market, not the users. I wish it mattered, but it doesn’t.

"Planet Earth: You. Are. A. Crew."

Artemis II mission specialist Christina Koch reflects on what it means to be a "crew."

[Dr. M.F. Khan @Dr_TheHistories]

A message from NASA astronaut Christina Koch who has now arrived safely back to Earth: "To everyone who has been following my journey, I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support — it truly means everything. Being part of the Artemis II mission is not just a personal milestone, but a step forward for all of us who believe in exploration and possibility.

To the young women and aspiring explorers out there: never doubt what you’re capable of. Your dreams are valid, your voice matters, and your place in science, engineering, and space is absolutely yours to claim. I hope my journey reminds you that no goal is too far, and no dream is out of reach when you commit to it.

And to everyone inspired or interested in this path — stay curious, stay driven, and don’t be afraid to take that first step. I’m always grateful to connect with people who share the same passion, so feel free to reach out and be part of this journey with us."

Christina, pictured above at Space Camp, attended every summer from the ages of 13 to 17.

@banteg @ylecun To be fair, the platform playbook, of which the danger of the briarpatch is just one ruse, is common throughout the tech industry.

I have an Earthrise print framed on my wall. Now I can get a modern one too!

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

My design was inspired by the iconic Earthrise image from the Apollo 8 mission in 1968. And you know what’s crazy?? My besties and I took a photo a couple days ago that’s pretty similar!! What do you think??? -Rise

[NASA @NASA]

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

The eclipse from Orion.

On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.

[Jade Boudreaux @nevernorminal]

Missions like these make it feel like everything is going to be okay.

[Vittoria @vitt2tsnoc]

This is iconic.

Artemis II

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Was going through my THOUSANDS of photos from the Artemis II launch, and saw this: I actually captured booster separation! I had no idea. Amazing it was visible considering the vehicle was over 30 miles over the Atlantic at this point
