I took this photo today. The tech leaders pictured have a combined net worth of $1.4+ trillion and wield enormous amounts of power. It was striking to see them all standing together along with President Trump, Speaker Johnson, and other administration officials. So much of our collective future is in their hands.

GEORGIA SPECIAL ELECTION: In race to replace @FmrRepMTG, the #Democrat is in the lead, with 46% of the vote in. The **same** Democrat lost to MTG in 2024 by 30 points! If nobody gets 50% - we head to a runoff. @SpectrumNewsGA

It's rare that former President Obama reacts to current events -- let alone in real time.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/let-…

I asked former Mayor Bill de Blasio for his thoughts on former Governor Andrew Cuomo running for mayor. “I don’t think he should be mayor. There you go.”
