Yesterday was my final day as Director of National Intelligence. I declassified and released never-before-seen documents exposing the truth about Fauci directing millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. Go to ODNI.gov to see for yourself.

@DNIGabbard Now do the vaccine

A bunch of Scots… in Fenway Park… singing Abba at the top of their lungs. And it’s perfectly awesome. The Scot’s are putting on an absolute clinic for good times.

bro immigrated from Mexico and took a $28/hr contract welding job in 2015. didn't even know what SpaceX was. they gave him $10,000 in stock and let him buy more through payroll deductions. that stake is now worth $880,000. and he's one of 4,400 employees who became millionaires on Friday. welders. technicians. cafeteria staff.

More than a dozen colleges have now crossed the $100,000/year threshold when tuition, fees, room, board, and living expenses are included: Harvey Mudd ($104,512) Duke ($103,975) USC ($103,162) Barnard ($103,000) Washington University in St. Louis ($102,260) Smith ($102,226) Fordham ($102,188) Claremont McKenna ($101,990) Vassar ($101,051) Wesleyan ($101,030) Georgetown ($100,864) Colgate ($100,224) Haverford ($100,026) A four-year degree at any of these schools now exceeds $400,000.

@TulsiGabbard @LouisaClary 🙏🙏

My waiter had dementia and forgot my order. I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders. Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead. But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose. And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia. So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan! The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.

@TulsiGabbard @sally_tanner @ODNIgov God bless your husband @TulsiGabbard 🙏🙏🙏 for a full and speedy recovery. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

Anthropology class? Nope. Just kids at school experiencing what the 1990s were like. Honestly, it's funny watching them treat these items like absolute relics. My personal favorite is the Rolodex! Anywho, I wish this was integrated in classrooms everywhere. I think lot of parents would agree this generation has a fascination with how we used to live.

@r0ck3t23 “Everyone is staring at the tractor….”

Jeff Bezos asked a room to imagine going back a hundred years. When almost everyone was a farmer. And telling those farmers that in 2018 there’d be a job called “massage therapist.” Bezos: “They would not have believed you.” Then a friend took it further. Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.” He looked it up. Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.” The room laughed. The point under the laughter wasn’t funny at all. Every time a major technology shift hits, we do the exact same thing. We count the jobs it will destroy. We never count the ones it will create. Because we can’t. They don’t have names yet. The fear is always specific. AI will replace accountants. AI will replace radiologists. AI will replace drivers. The fear has job titles and timelines and projections. The opportunity has none of those things. Because you can’t name what doesn’t exist yet. A farmer in 1920 could understand losing his job to a tractor. He could not understand gaining a career as a social media strategist. Not because he lacked intelligence. Because the entire chain of inventions between his world and that job hadn’t been built yet. Radio. Television. The internet. Smartphones. Social platforms. Creator economies. Every single link in that chain had to exist before “social media strategist” could even be a sentence. That’s where we are with AI right now. Everyone is staring at the tractor. Nobody can see the thing seven inventions away that doesn’t have a name yet. The fear is loud because it fits inside language we already have. The opportunity is silent because it doesn’t. Every technological revolution in history created more jobs than it destroyed. Every single one. Not because anyone planned it. Because human needs expand faster than machines can fill them. We didn’t need massage therapists when we were breaking our backs on farms. We needed them after machines freed our backs and stress replaced labor. The demand didn’t disappear. It migrated somewhere no one was looking. That is exactly what’s happening right now. The jobs AI creates won’t make sense to us yet. They’ll sound as absurd as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920. Until someone is running a $200 hourly practice with a six-month waitlist. The entire conversation right now is about what we’re about to lose. Nobody is talking about what we’re about to gain. Because the gains don’t have vocabulary yet. A hundred years from now, someone will stand on a stage and describe the jobs we couldn’t imagine today. And the audience will laugh. The same way we just did.

Today we celebrate the educators who inspire, empower, and shape brighter futures every single day. 🍎✨

Any journalists looking for a new job? The Martha Vineyard Gazette is looking for a reporter to write about big issues on the small island. The job comes with a furnished two bedroom home. Details here: vineyardgazette.com/henry-beetle-h…

This Irish folk cover of Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” had no business going this hard 😂🍀 One minute I’m sitting there, next minute I’m ready to jump up, clap along, and dance like I’m in a pub in Dublin. Absolute vibe 🔥 Hit that repost button and spread the cheer. 🍻

@NotJ0NRoth *you’re

There are only about 25,000 elevator technicians in the entire U.S. Let that sink in. Now think about how many elevators exist: • Apartments • Hospitals • Hotels • Office buildings • Airports Every single one needs maintenance… forever. Now here’s where it gets interesting: Elevator techs make $100k on average Top earners clear $150k+ With overtime in big cities? Even higher. And the “training pipeline” everyone talks about? It’s not 4 years of college. It’s: • Apprenticeship programs • Trade-based training • Earn while you learn So let me get this straight… We’re telling 18 year olds to take on $100k+ in debt… Instead of pointing them toward a career where they can make six figures fixing elevators? Here’s the controversial part: The shortage isn’t because the job is bad. It’s because no one is telling kids this path exists. We’ve marketed college. We’ve ignored trades like this. And now we have a massive gap. In 10–15 years? The people who chose these “invisible trades” are going to look like geniuses. Fun fact: only one out of the three elevators worked during our trip and average wait time was 10-15 mins.

OK, let's do this... again. For the day that's in it. Michael Jackson, Billie Jean but as Irish traditional folk. @tedcruz RT last time and we hit 1.6M views!
