Disgraceful. Schumer & Pelosi care only about power. Nothing else matters. Tragic.
@HaleyforMI showed remarkable character & courage & principle. She put America before party.
And Schumer & Pelosi’s savage attacks on her for doing so shows who they are & what they value.

This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.
Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.

The facility's 25-yard bays were scheduled to reopen Oct. 31, with its 100-yard range expected to follow Nov. 2. The cause remains under investigation. statesman.com/news/article/t…

In his debut at the distance, Andreas Almgren ran today’s New York City Marathon like a veteran, perfectly marshaling his energy for one big move in the final mile to win in 2:06:01. The Swede is the first European man to win the race since Giacomo Leone in 1996.

NEW: The Pentagon is telling space startups to stop relying on research grants and start demonstrating working technology, as the U.S. military seeks to accelerate the deployment of new capabilities in orbit.
Speaking at Silicon Valley Space Week, Space Development Agency Director GP Sandhoo said he has seen only a handful of successful companies emerge from government small-business research programs over roughly 30 years.
Sandhoo said even a modest “C+, B-” demonstration aboard one or two satellites could be sufficient to justify a military procurement decision.
Defense Innovation Unit officials also warned that receiving prototype funding does not guarantee a paying military customer. Meanwhile, the Space Force is working to help startups overcome security-clearance requirements that can prevent them from competing for classified contracts.
The message is clear: demonstrated performance and a credible path to operational deployment matter more than repeatedly winning research funding.

This is what reshoring looks like in real life. Thanks to tariffs, stamping work is coming back to America! 🇺🇸
At our factory, @AtlasTool, we’ve already won seven figures in new annual stamping business as production returns to the USA.
We’re hiring new employees, retraining and upskilling our existing workforce, and even bringing mothballed equipment back to life to meet growing demand.
In this video, we’re moving a massive 75,000-pound stamping press across a crowded, busy production floor to its new home, where it will be refurbished, modernized, and automated.
Built in the 1950s, this machine weighs 37.5 tons and delivers an impressive 120 tons of stamping force!
How do you move 37.5 tons of American manufacturing muscle?
Very slowly. Very carefully. And with a great team.
This is what tariffs are supposed to do: bring production, investment, and good-paying jobs back to America. 🇺🇸

Kinda wild to see Leander Texas of all places on this list.
The combined taxable income of Leander residents grew nearly $850,000,000 in 2023.
Ranking 16th in the nation.
Tech money just pouring into that town.
Top 100 zip codes in the US by change in aggregate income reported on tax returns from 2022 to 2023.
Data is from IRS as 2023 data was released today:

This time, it’s different 😉😘🪨
STRONG SIGNAL 🚨 Terafab is moving forward at lightning speed because the engineers themselves have the authority to make decisions 🔥
According to Korea’s The Elec, a Korean supplier executive said that even questions sent during the early morning hours in the US get answered within 30 minutes to an hour. In his view, working with Terafab is completely different from dealing with conventional semiconductor customers.
An executive at an overseas equipment maker went even further: “I’ve never seen this level of execution speed in the semiconductor industry.”
Building a fab involves countless questions like these, across every tool and material that goes into it. When each one gets a fast answer, the time saved keeps compounding, and that could add up to a serious head start before a single wafer is even processed.
The chip industry spent decades perfecting how a fab should run. Terafab is being built by engineers who answer a supplier’s question before the US is even awake and are trusted to decide on the spot, and that may turn out to be the most disruptive process change of all.

💡Did you know bamboo from Yawata, Kyoto Prefecture, helped light up the world? Thomas Edison discovered that carbonized bamboo from the region made exceptionally durable filaments for his lightbulbs. Today, Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine honors Edison’s legacy twice a year, celebrating the remarkable connection between American ingenuity and Japanese craftsmanship. This shared history shines a light on the spirit of innovation and scientific collaboration that continues to power the 🇺🇸🇯🇵 partnership today.
