Public School Teachers are the single biggest group of unsung heroes in America today. Nobody gets into teaching for the money - they do it for the love of the job. We need to reexamine our priorities as a nation when a teacher is making less money than a supervisor at Walmart.

@surface I have been buying and managing thousands of Surface devices since 2019. The Surface Laptop 8th Edition is the best performing hardware you've produced to date and it's not even close! Can't wait to see what y'all are cooking up with @NVIDIARTXSpark next.

What an incredible display of unity, love, and resilience as tens of thousands of New Yorkers turned out for the Israel Day Parade in NYC!

Today, we boycotted antisemitism and sent a powerful message: New York will always stand with its Jewish community, and New Yorkers will always stand with Israel.

“Today in the United States there are only 188 US flaged merchant ships and 105 Navy @MSCSealift ships.

WE NEED MORE THAN THAT

In fact the Chinese have over 11,000 merchant ships,” said @SECNAV Hung Cao in today’s senate hearing.

The days of the US Navy ignoring the US Merchant Marine and ocean logistics are over.

“We need them to thrive as a nation,”

He also provided clarity on @MSCSealift hulls ordered in foreign yards and said he will require that those overseas yards invest in the United States which will create 540,000 shipyard jobs for Americans.

US President Ronald Reagan was shown "WarGames" (1983) at Camp David the weekend it was released. He loved the movie but it also freaked him out. A few days later, at a White House meeting that included the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Reagan asked, “Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?”

The answer came back a week later: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” That led not only to a significant revamp of how computer security was handled at the Defense Department, but also passage of an anti-hacking law that would eventually evolve into US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 1986. Clips of "WarGames" (1983) were shown during the congressional hearings where lawmakers debated the need for hacking legislation.

P.S: On this day, 43 years ago, John Badham's "WarGames" (1983) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

In 1980, under command of CAPT Matthew Yelland, Nimitz encountered an electrical storm after leaving Pearl Harbor and lost all contact with the rest of the fleet. What happened during that period is still highly classified.

Dear @SECNAV, Ohio is set to retire next year. The longest-serving submarine in US Navy history, serving as a ballistic missile boat providing strategic deterrence & as the first Ohio-class clandestine special ops command and control center SSGN.
Respectfully, she should be saved
