Another 29 @Amazonleo satellites went into orbit over the weekend. Grateful for the Leo team and our launch partners for their dedication and expertise at every step. @ulalaunch
For two decades, @Amazon has led the way in energy and water efficiency for data center infrastructure. Now, we’re joining other industry leaders on a new initiative that will create a shared playbook that accelerates progress across the industry, and delivers benefits to the communities where we operate.
Most people thought flat data center networks would never work at hyperscale.
The @awscloud team figured it out.
Resilient Network Graphs are a completely new network architecture, now live.
33% better throughput, 40% less network power.

We love to see it! From LEED Platinum-certified buildings at HQ2 across the river to testing e-cargo bikes on D.C. streets, @Amazon is investing in more sustainable solutions in the region. We're proud to be part of this community.
Meet Amazon's e-cargo bike in D.C.: a four-wheeled, battery-powered delivery solution complete with rear cameras, regenerative braking, and automatic parking brakes. 🚲⚡
The e-cargo bikes can fit in bike lanes and carry a secure rear cargo hold full of packages. They also have covered seating and windshield wipers for the delivery associates riding them.
You may have already seen our e-cargo bikes in New York City. They can navigate streets and make stops where full-size vans aren't always practical thanks to tight streets, heavy traffic, and limited parking. Washington, D.C. is now the latest U.S. city to put them to the test.
The full @OxfordEconomics report breaks down the impact across 10 countries and three adoption scenarios, from $32B (incremental) to $863B (transformative) in global GDP by 2035.

NEW: @OxfordEconomics research finds expanded low Earth orbit satellite broadband, including @Amazonleo and other providers, could unlock up to $863 billion in global economic value and support 21 million jobs by 2035.
With 2.6 billion people still offline, the connectivity gap is an economic gap. 🧵
Satellite broadband providers like @Amazonleo can reach the unreachable. Think rural areas, island nations, and regions where infrastructure costs are too high.

@Amazon is teaming up with @dollyslibrary, @E3VA , & NYT bestselling author and actor @danicamckellar to host a FREE children's book fair at Met Park in @NationalLanding on May 16th!
Free books, live readings, crafts & more to ignite a love of reading in our kids.
Literacy is where workforce readiness begins and we're proud to help make that happen locally. Join us in showing up for our neighbors and encouraging a generation of leaders! 📚

We're proud to have @gocodough DC as one of our small business neighbors at HQ2 in @NationalLanding. Last week, they were named Northern Virginia's 2026 Small Business Person of the Year — a testament to the resilience and community spirit that makes this region thrive.
We believe small businesses are essential to a strong regional economy, and we're committed to being a partner in that growth.
Congrats, Charles & Kate! 🎉#NationalSmallBusinessWeek
Appreciate you stopping by Tarboro, @RepDonDavis . This station is part of our $20B+ investment in North Carolina since 2010, and we're glad to create jobs and support economic growth in communities across the state. https://t.co/tYZcP7Rd0L
Amazon’s new Tarboro delivery station is bringing jobs, competitive wages, and faster delivery service to our communities.
When we invest in rural infrastructure and workforce development, real opportunity follows.
Did you know? In 2025, @amazon invested more than $340 billion in the U.S., creating jobs, building infrastructure, and strengthening communities from small towns to major cities across all 50 states.
75,000+ independent sellers hit $1M in sales in @amazon's store last year. That's a 36% jump from 2024. They're building businesses, supporting over 2 million U.S. jobs, and using AI tools to compete at scale. The 2025 Small Business Empowerment Report has the full story: https://t.co/TyWx040Wzo
EU small businesses hit a record €40B in sales on Amazon in 2025, but compliance burdens, including varying VAT rules, mean the smallest sellers pay the highest price. Extending Deemed Supplier rules to all sellers would close fraud loopholes & create a level playing field.
Great to see the @USDOL's "Make America AI-Ready" initiative: free AI literacy delivered by text message to help American workers build foundational AI skills. Amazon is proud to provide infrastructure and credits to Arist to help deliver this effort. https://t.co/0hWVvakhZX
We applaud @BrendanCarrFCC for advancing efforts at the @FCC to modernize outdated satellite broadband regulations. Updating decades-old power limits isn't just about technology—it's about connecting people across the United States who still lack broadband access. These reforms would unlock billions in new economic activity, expand broadband capacity, and deliver faster internet to communities that need it most.
