Today was my final vote in the House. As I walk out of the chamber for last time, I wanted to share something almost no one notices. The center aisle, the one the President walks down for SOTU, the aisle that divides the R and D sides, ends at an inscription of “Tolerance.”THREAD
Buttigieg: Being a teacher, a coach, a senior noncommissioned officer. What they all have in common is supporting other people. The Trump Campaign can’t figure out what to do with this ticket. They can’t fathom a campaign, or any leaders, who are not about themselves.

I know many people are seriously bent out of shape — understandably — by @sxsw decision to kick out the @USArmy and several companies. The truth is the real action has always been at @CapitalFactory. Here is what CF founder @JoshuaBaer has to say. #defenseInnovation #startups

Google launched G-mail 20 years ago on April Fool’s day with this press release. Many thought it was a joke because it offered 1G of free storage (~100x more than competitors). It ruined April Fool’s for me because G-mail now has 1.2B users and I have to take any of the…
The US Space Force just canceled a multibillion-dollar program for a GEO communications satellite. And it was the right call. The future is coming too fast to keep sending infinite, responsibility-free dollars to the old defense primes.
While we wait for government action 1) I have already banned TikTok in my household (no votes needed, no lobbyists in my pocket) 2) Effective immediately for security reasons I will NOT hold any meetings with anyone in person with TikTok on their phone (can leave @ reception)

Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since it’s not been made public. It’s been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way…
The very same day American business leaders were in San Francisco “delivering China a propaganda coup” as stated in the WJS editorial, “U.S. CEOs on the Chinese menu,” there was an event on the other coast, in our nation’s capital, attended by the largest gathering of venture…

This week, IST #StrategicBalancingInitiative team member @ktontwitr attended @shift’s Defense Ventures Summit, an event that brought together members of the @DeptofDefense, startups, and venture capital firms to energize the connection between technologists and the DoD.
"Never bet against America." Thank you for yesterday, everyone. Even a small group of people moving in the same direction can create profound change. For those following from afar, we’ll post the sessions and bring this network together again soon.
