As of tonight, I am the proud parent of an Eagle Scout!

Beautiful
Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket.
I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster?
Well...now we have an answer.

No other country has done this. Four days of testimony from victims and experts. 🇨🇦
MSM won’t cover it - please watch and share the livestream.

I have spent 23 years documenting the global LED transition of city lighting from space.
Across my 4 missions to the ISS, I have photographed every major city on Earth, building a data set of the gradual replacement of sodium vapor lighting with LEDs.
The warmer, yellow-orange of gas discharge lamps has been phased out worldwide to multi-colored LEDs, citing energy savings and environmental reasons.
Widespread adoption has markedly changed the way our cities look from orbit, and as many have pointed out, how they feel to those on the ground!
Here is a collection of the most striking before-and-after photos I have observed:
The best member of Congress.
A stateman, not a politician.
MAGA used to be for:
America First
No New Wars
Make America Healthy Again
Release the Epstein Files
Reduce Waste and The Deficit
I advanced bills to do these things.
I voted against bills that did not.
But Trump, the swamp, and a foreign lobby decided to take me out for it.

I don't think either party understands just how much the average American hates them right now.
Familiar story
🤦♂️The FBI gave her the bomb and the gun and the funds to spend at Home Depot. The government literally encouraged and enabled this terrorist plot in order to foil it. One day they’ll have to admit this how the J5/J6 pipe bomb happened as well. H/T @KyleSeraphin

I'm not sharing any of the "senator destroys fauci" clips because it does NOT matter. You either put him in prison forever or you're complicit in his crimes. This goes the same for Trump, the AG, Rand Paul or the entire GOP.
I don't want sound bites.
I want to hear handcuffs.

I left a video camera WAY too close to the launchpad.
My first time capturing a launch in high resolution video. Definitely exceeded my expectations! This was captured at 120fps, interpolated 2x, stabilized, and played back at 30fps.

The House will soon take 2 votes that will compromise our sovereignty by merging our military technology & supply chain with Israel‘s.
❌TODAY’s vote on H Res 1438 brings the NDAA to the floor WITHOUT a vote on striking section 219.
❌TOMORROW’s vote is to pass the NDAA.

We, the governed, did not consent to mass surveillance. Civil disobedience is morally justified. The technocratic authoritarians can flock right off with their “license plate readers.” We know this isn’t about our safety. It’s about control. We see you.
Bret Weintein asks "what is this all really for?"
"If you look at the push towards tokenization of assets, towards central bank digital currencies—that is programmable money that can be turned off if you displease the powers that be.
If you look at the creation of these massive data centers, is that really about citizen use of AI?
Maybe some of it is, but is it really about creating a storehouse of information that will allow you to be controlled and locked down?
That’s certainly the impression I have. We didn’t have a discussion about any of this. This is happening, and then we have to react to it because it’s all on a freight train headed down the line… and we’re always playing defense. So it’s pretty frightening stuff.
And at some level, we have a moral right to object. We’re not being given the opportunity to object..."

Dear America,
Starting today, on the 250th birthday of our country, millions of children will now benefit from a new & powerful American birthright - a privately owned investment account from birth. Every child a shareholder in the great American economy!
American capitalism is the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known. It has unlocked unprecedented abundance for our country and untold life-advancing innovation. From clean food & water to cars & planes to vaccines & cures to computers & phones. Through depressions & world wars, through panics & pandemics, betting on America has been the best investment in human history.
But far too many hardworking families feel like they are on the outside looking in - like the American Dream has become out of reach.
The Invest America Act changes all that. Signed into law by President Trump it establishes the Trump Accounts - launching today - making every child a shareholder from birth. Every account seeded with $1000 in America's best companies - making every child a direct participant in our stock markets & American capitalism.
But it doesn’t stop there. Representing the best of our civic traditions, an unprecedented outpouring of additional private contributions into these accounts is already underway. Billions of dollars have been committed by philanthropists & corporations to tens of millions of children across the country. A new form of massive, direct philanthropy & corporate benefits directly to America’s kids is just getting started. From adopting all the kids of a school or organization to a city or state. America is the most giving country in the history of the world - and Trump Accounts provide a new open source platform to enable anybody to contribute to anybody.
Trillions of dollars will compound in these accounts over the next 20 years.
But this is about more than just figures on an account statement. By investing in the next generation, our country is providing tangible opportunities to all future generations of Americans: an education, a first home, the ability to start a business, and the foundation for a lifetime of savings. Trump Accounts provide hope to those feeling hopeless - unlocking unlimited human potential.
Trump Accounts do this through a massive public - private partnership that empower the individual not the state. They double down on free market capitalist democracy by empowering the individual rather than growing dependency on government. Aligning citizens with capitalism rather than pitting them against it.
Perhaps of equal importance, let us not lose sight of the fact that this is a movement that unites our country. Despite the many issues that divide us, this one big idea brings everyone together. From the most conservative to the most progressive leaders, we have found people of goodwill willing to step up and do the right thing to help the next generation.
Trump Accounts represent the very best of our democracy and the American promise issued two hundred and fifty years ago today. I am grateful to all those who have partnered with us to get this far and we dedicate our tireless efforts to make certain that the Invest America Act achieves its maximum potential. Let us advance into the future with a renewed sense of confidence, optimism and restored faith in the American Dream for EVERY American.
Happy 250th Birthday, America!

Want to become a billionaire? Help a billion people. The size of the fortune is just a receipt for the size of the problem you were willing to take on nothing else.

It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species.
It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence.
Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance.
These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above.
If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does.
This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it.
