Happy Pride Month, Kentucky! Every person deserves to be seen and loved for who they are. We will keep working together to build a country where every person knows they belong. 🏳️🌈
Last night was invigorating. Thousands flocked to Broadway in the rain to support music and culture and history; A flashpoint moment for a world class city built on small town dreams.
Troubadours ride in here on a song and a prayer every day, with hope upon hope that through work and God and a little luck, the spotlight might someday light their path to the stage and the radio.
And in February 2030, the hopes of lifetimes will rest with a couple football teams on the precipice of championship dreams.
There were people as far from the stage as I could see last night. Music City will be an incredible Super Bowl host city. Maybe the best ever.

If Waymo gets its way, tens of thousands of people will be spared from automotive-related deaths.

Last week, the president threatened to end a civilization.
Now, he's attacking the Pope and posting an image of himself as Jesus.
Not American. Not Christian. Not presidential.
Reminder:
Waymo is so safe that if every car was driven like a Waymo, about 9% of America's life expectancy gap would disappear.
9 percent!
Americans die in car accidents *that often*.
