Joe Biden held 9 total Cabinet meetings during his 4 years.

President Trump has already held 13 in his second term.

@LaraLeaTrump is 100% right. This is the most transparent administration in American history.

[NASA Armstrong @NASAArmstrong]

The Nation’s capitol will feel the power of NASA Aeronautics today! ✈️

The agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center, joined by aircraft from @NASAJohnson, will ignite the skies with a @Freedom250 flyover bursting with energy, pride, and aerospace brilliance.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

In honor of @Freedom250, two of our most iconic aircraft are getting a fresh coat of red, white, and blue! ✈️🇺🇸

NASA Armstrong’s F-18 and F-15 were repainted in the colors that represent the legacy of determination, service, and unity that define America. It’s more than paint, it’s a tribute to the past and a salute to the future.

This is insane…

The Virginia redistricting amendment on the ballot today is framed as a vote to "restore fairness in the upcoming elections."

In reality, it turns a state that Kamala barely won by 5 pts from 6D-5R to 10D-1R.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

One week has passed since Artemis II returned to Earth after a historic mission around the Moon. We laughed, we cried, and we pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, setting the stage for future innovation and exploration.

We’re just getting started.

[NASA @NASA]

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

[NASA @NASA]

We're going farther than ever before 🚀

Today, the Artemis II crew will break the record for how far humans have traveled from Earth as they fly around the far side of the Moon.

Coverage begins at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC). Watch Artemis II make history: https://t.co/G7LpghURjg

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

"One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be and how dangerous it is to trust them."

— Thomas Sowell

[NASA @NASA]

It’s not a straight shot to the far side of the Moon! 🌕

Over approximately 10 days, the Artemis II astronauts will orbit Earth twice before looping around the far side of the Moon in a figure eight and returning home.

[NASA @NASA]

For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.

At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. https://t.co/0Q9ZB4IWVI

Cheering on the astronauts and crew of Artemis II from America’s Front Yard. Out of this world!

If you're under 53 years old, you have never once been alive while a human was farther than 250 miles from Earth. Tonight, four astronauts are heading 252,000 miles out. That's a thousand times farther than any person has gone in your lifetime.

The 250-mile ceiling is where the International Space Station floats. Every astronaut since December 1972 has been stuck in that zone. Spacewalks, science experiments, cool photos from orbit, sure. But nobody left the neighborhood.

The last crew to go farther was Apollo 17. December 1972. Nixon was president. The internet didn't exist. Cell phones were 11 years away. The youngest member of that crew is now 90 years old.

The farthest any human has ever been from Earth is 248,655 miles. The Apollo 13 crew set that number in 1970, and they didn't mean to. Their oxygen tank blew up, and the emergency route home took them farther out than anyone before or since. Tonight's crew will break that record on purpose.

And the crew itself. Victor Glover becomes the first Black astronaut to leave Earth's neighborhood. Christina Koch becomes the first woman. Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian fighter pilot, becomes the first non-American to do so. When they come home, they'll slam into the atmosphere at 25,000 mph, faster than any human has ever traveled.

The Moon's south pole has ice. Water ice, sitting in craters so deep that sunlight hasn't hit them in billions of years. A 2024 NASA study found way more of it than anyone expected. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which gives you rocket fuel, breathable air, and drinking water, all made on the Moon instead of hauled up from Earth. George Sowers at Colorado School of Mines calculated that Moon-made fuel could shave $12 billion off a single trip to Mars. The Moon is a gas station on the road to Mars.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced last week a $20 billion plan to build a permanent base at the South Pole over the next seven years, with landings every six months. China is developing its own lunar lander and spacesuit, aiming for a crewed landing by 2030. The Artemis program has burned through $93 billion so far, and the first actual surface landing is penciled in for 2028. There's a real question of who gets there first this time around.

Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of Apollo 17. He's 90. Asked about it this week, he sounded pretty relaxed. "Mars is attainable," he said. "We're humans. That's what we've always done."

The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel.

The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: https://t.co/VVJqQrRz4a

[NASA @NASA]

The countdown begins.

Teams at @NASAKennedy have arrived to their stations at the Launch Control Center. We are about 48 hours from the launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. https://t.co/PqaR8eyxu4

🚨 JUST IN — IT’S OFFICIAL: Palm Beach International Airport is now Donald J. Trump International Airport, following Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature on HB919

The name change goes into effect on July 1st.

Congrats, 47.

[Eric Trump @EricTrump]

🚨 FIRST LOOK: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here.

Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump.

This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known. 🇺🇸

These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!

NEW YORK: The New York Senate is considering retroactively taxing startup founders who sold their companies last year. A 10-13% hit on exits previously exempt under federal law. North Point Defense founders could owe $100 million. More than a dozen smaller founders could owe millions more. Albany is making New York uninhabitable for entrepreneurs.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

WATCH: @SenMullin shares an emotional story about how @POTUS was there for his son and his family in their time of need:

"Every week, if not most days, @POTUS would call and ask how he could help... he didn't do it for publicity. He didn't do it for any show. He was running in one of the toughest elections he had been in, and the guy was still that concerned about my son."
