I’ve spent the first few months of my tenure in the Senate listening to stakeholders, talking with my colleagues, and engaging with everyone I come into contact with on the urgent need to pass permitting reform.

Today, I’m putting all those conversations and ideas on paper with the American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act.

We’re going to win the whole thing…

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

My burnout taught me a valuable lesson about self-identity: You are a person doing a job, not a job pretending to be a person.

For a long time, I didn’t know the difference. Like many professionals, I let my role quietly become my identity. Work wasn’t just something I did; it was who I was, and when it started to unravel, so did I. That’s what made the burnout so disorienting.

When your identity is fused with your output, any threat to your job feels like a threat to your worth—psychologists refer to this as “role fusion.”

Long before modern psychology, the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote: “You are a soul carrying a body, not a body carrying a soul.” That line returned to me when I needed it.

Here are three things to remember:

1. Your job is what you do.
2.  Your soul is who you are.
3.  And those two things must remain separate, if you want to stay whole.

I still care deeply about my work, but I no longer need it to tell me who I am. And ironically, that’s made the work better, not worse.

Brains are very susceptible. Steer yours properly. View the sunrise, thank God for another day living and then go get meaningful things done. Trolls and drama are there to test your focus. Happy Friday!

Don't view it as saving money -- view it as buying independence.

🚨💣 BREAKING: Alexander Isak to Liverpool, here we go! Deal agreed now for £130m transfer fee. Record move for Premier League.

Isak, on his way today for medical tests as new Liverpool player after long term deal agreed months ago.

It was always ONLY Liverpool for Isak.

I’m not sure I’ve seen two better free kicks from the same player in the same game. ⚡️ #Arsenal

You can, simultaneously:

- Dollar cost average, remain long-term optimistic.
- Not panic.
- Enjoy the outdoors, kids, good food, etc.
- Realize how unbelievably destructive and unnecessary this is.

@TaylerMinni @acampbellsports It's $160, boss. No individual tickets. Only sold in a pack of four. At halftime.

@taquitoroller Just wait until they're 13-14, man. You'll be lucky if they even look at you.
