Thank you Philadelphia. #NoKings

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered.

Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.

CINEMATIC

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Anyone know if this is accurate?

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.

Here we go …

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

This isn’t a “seems like” or “appears to be” event…

It was intentional, deliberate, and unequivocal.

Guess which ‘one’ hasn’t figured it out yet?! 👇

Just one guess. 🇺🇸

If you saw the profile about me in Wired Magazine, it talked about an event at Cushing Library and Archives. The annual TAMU library report has a write-up and video about the event: library.tamu.edu/annual-repor...

Good call!

I attempted to awkwardly balance being honest (I like that genre!) with quickly changing the subject. Hard not to feel embarrassed talking to someone who's only social connection is through your kids... Especially a guy!

I was at an event for my kids, chatting with my son's friend's Dad. KU came up - and he complained about how most books were fantasy romance, that he'd pick a book only to get an unwelcome surprise stumbling upon sex scenes.

How would YOU have responded? My response in comments...

He was the full Monty before.
