In Mukachevo, the Russians practically burned down an American company producing electronics—home appliances, nothing military. The Russians knew exactly where they lobbed the missiles. We believe this was a deliberate attack against American property and investments in Ukraine.

Since WWII, America has led the world -- economically and in so many other ways -- in no small part because of its willingness to spend on basic research and its ability to attract the world's best and brightest.

That is changing -- fast. My deep dive on the topic:

@PressSec @grok Is Ms. Leavitt’s statement true or untrue (given pardons for convicted Jan 6 rioters violent against cops, etc.)?

“The Trump Admin has a zero-tolerance policy for criminal behavior…especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers…do[ing] their jobs.”

Today is #WorldBicycleDay 🚲

Did you know❓ Cycle lanes count for just 0.2% of the current road infrastructure.

It’s time to demand safer streets that put the health & safety of pedestrians and cyclists first 👉https://t.co/0PeXSlC1Ah

In literally just 2 days, I cannot believe how much paper towels have increased by… (SPOILER ALERT: 7.5%-52%)

Is this inflation, tariffs, panic buying—or a mix of all three? Or is there something else going on?

Imagine a surgeon is performing a operation. Instead of using a precise scalpel, they opt for a sledgehammer, impacting beyond the problem area by causing unintended damage & long-term consequences to the patient’s health, if not worse. No amount of medicine can fix this patient.

@Student2Learn @syncsolver I agree. It’s no longer working for me too after upgrading to iOS 18.4

[U.S. Embassy Vilnius @USEmbVilnius]

Today, Lithuania paid homage to our fallen with a solemn and dignified farewell. In the heart of Vilnius, leaders, Allies, and many supporters gathered in remembrance, honoring the four U.S. Soldiers who are finally returning to their families.

In this time of profound sorrow, we are reminded of the indomitable bond between our nations. The compassion, respect, and unwavering support demonstrated by Lithuania and all who stood with us will echo for years to come.
To our Allies, fellow service members, and everyone who contributed to bringing them home—our deepest gratitude.

@JohannaNyman5 …and while I am all in on peace (trust me here), I think Russia first needs a little time to work on itself, perhaps to “normalize” in the context of the 21st century OR work on building trust amongst its neighbors, before extending an Olive Branch (or a fig leaf) to Finland.

[Jared M. Herbert @jmherbert]

@JohannaNyman5 Also – Late 1930s Germany wanted to “normalize” ties with one of its neighbors despite its supreme leader having a deep-rooted despise for the other *cough* Communist USSR *cough* and history shows how long that non-aggression pact lasted…
