My son asked me what my all-time favorite song is 🤯 I love music (everything except country) - I've been compiling a list on Spotify, but tough to narrow to a few let alone ONE! https://t.co/QQZF9M83rw
Eliminating fraud, waste and abuse should be the most nonpartisan issue in America as it affects everyone.
Those who are against it are simply anti-American and are the fraudsters.
For instance, Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar are SILENT about the fraud because they are the fraudsters
This son bought his dad a truck after his dad’s truck broke down. He’s not a NBA or NFL, DR. or a lawyer, just a regular guy who worked hard to get his dad a truck. This shows his appreciation. The gift just says THANKS DAD... You’re the best!
This brave little boy with cerebral palsy takes his first unassisted steps straight toward his dad, who’s just returned from an extended deployment.

Best money I've ever spent as a CEO... an internal AI transformation hire.
Here’s how we hire AI operators at Contrarian Thinking (steal this):
1. Find them
The people you want live on X.
Search "build in public AI," "n8n," "Claude workflows." Look for demos, shipped work, people building for fun on weekends.
They probably don't call themselves AI operators. Maybe they’re a Chief of Staff. Whatever. But AI problem-solving is what they actually do.
Avoid AI enthusiasts with nothing to show for it.
When you find a good one, DM them. Don't say "we have a role open." Say: "I saw what you built. Want to do that inside a real business?"
2. Vet them
We hire based on proof.
Our President Marc now asks every candidate (regardless of role) what they're currently building with AI.
Doesn't need to be impressive, but it should be intentional.
If they make it through, we run a simple evaluation like this:
1. Loom intro: show what you've built
2. Work sample: solve a real problem
3. Live iteration: improve it on the fly
Watch for speed, communication, ease of shipping.
Can't ship under light pressure? Won't ship inside your business.
3. Deploy them right
Most companies hire someone like this and immediately tether them to one department.
That would be an F-minus move.
Let them work across the whole business. Audit. Design systems. Ship.
Then have them run an internal AI hackathon. 4 hours. One leader. One brief, fun presentation to get everyone seeing the larger picture - then let the team loose.
We did this recently. The awakening across our team was one of the highest ROI things we've ever run.
tl;dr
Don't think about who you can replace with AI - use it to create more builders inside your org.
Employees need to become builders, not button-clickers.

The moment she saw them again… Pure healing.
