.@mcuban: When James Talarico and I started talking about healthcare, I said, OK, I just have to ask you a question.
There is a bipartisan bill proposed by Josh Hawley and Elizabeth Warren called the Breakup Big Medicine Bill.
I asked James one question. When you are elected — I didn't say if, I said when you are elected — will you co-sponsor the Breakup Big Medicine Bill? Because that is key. If we can break up those big companies — the CVSs, the United, etc. — we literally could see the cost of pharmaceuticals and healthcare literally drop overnight.
James said yes. So here I am — and we are going to break up Big Medicine.
Things you should never do to an introvert:
- Show up at their house unannounced
- Add extra people to plans without telling them
- Make them feel guilty for needing alone time
- Call immediately after they just texted you
- Tell them they need to “come out of their shell”

Oh, I'm begging of you, please get up to speed
Darline, Darline, Darline, Darline
Please get informed before you try to lead
[Verse 1]
The global stage is quite complex
With threats of war and what comes next
From Taiwan to the waters of the East
You read your notes right from a pad
And brought up stories of your dad
But foreign policy is quite a different beast
[Verse 2]
We really do understand
You want to help this crazy land
Right now our country is kind of a dump.
Some would even a mess,
But from what you have expressed,
Should you be stepping into Linday’s pumps?
[Verse 3]
On television you were frank
About the knowledge that you lack
When looking at the cameras you were seen
You said, "I'm just going to be honest here
I'm not that informed, let me make it clear
National security is just not my thing"
[Verse 4]
"It's not my area of expertise
But I support the military, please"
That's what you told us at the live debate
But the world is watching what you say
As South Carolina votes away
You've got to study up before it's late
[Chorus]
Darline, Darline, Darline, Darline
Please get informed before you try to lead
Darline, Darline, Darline, Darline
Oh, I'm begging of you, please get up to speed
Traffic Stop – Elephants Coming Through!
One of this week’s missions: helping 30 bulls navigate both a railway and a highway crossing to get back to safety.
Working with Kenya Wildlife Service teams on the ground, the SWT helicopter hovered overhead until the bulls formed a single group. Then, our pilot slowly shepherded the group through the railway underpass and towards the Mombasa Highway. KWS held up all road traffic, allowing the elephants safe passage.
The bulls’ journey home wasn’t complete yet. There was still a kilometre to go until they reached protected land, where ground teams created a temporary opening in the fence. Fortunately, the group was led by several older, experienced bulls, who knew the drill and cooperated with their aerial shepherd.
Three hours and two high-pressure crossings later, all the bulls were safely back inside Tsavo National Park.

While you struggle to make ends meet, Trump is busy making billions.
Watch as I recap the Top 10 ways Donald Trump is profiting off the presidency. https://t.co/Fil4FwUO8A
I get it. Losing is hard. But six years later and Trump is STILL talking about the election he lost? This is something to work through with a therapist. Leave the people of Georgia and the country out of it.
It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.
Also on a serious note. I would like @peterdouchey to please ask the president when I get my royalty check for those where’s Hunter t-shirts. It’s been 4 years now and he keeps telling me the check is in the mail.
You asked, "How do our Keepers tell each elephant apart?"
Well, its a mix of physical features – ear shape, tusk angle, tail hair, freckling, gait – and, more importantly, behaviour. Every Keeper knows the rescue history and personality of every orphan in our care.
Recognition runs the other way too. At milk feeds, each orphan walks straight to their own bottle position. And elephants remember Keepers across decades – eight years after he was last seen, Ndume recognised his former Keeper Joseph.

Mbegu’s boyfriend meets the family!
If you've followed our work for a while, you might be familiar with Mbegu, named ‘tiny seed’ in Swahili by one of our Keepers - and it stuck!
Rescued as a tiny victim of human-wildlife conflict, she has a natural maternal streak that has defined her life with us. She went wild in September 2025, leading her herd out into the Tsavo wilderness.
Two months later, she carried off one of the largest kidnappings we've ever seen, whisking away 12 of the 'Voi kids'. The truants were eventually returned home, but it seems to have sparked something inside Mbegu.
In February of this year, she brought home an impressive wild bull - this chap pictured - a boyfriend to meet the family! They mated within sight of the Keepers so, in 22 months, she might be introducing us to a calf – a baby for Mbegu at last.
What would you call the baby of our once-'tiny seed'?
