Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

this, btw, is also why “it’ll take generations to rebuild” is not true. with leadership and funding, so many talented & knowledgeable people will show up to rebuild our capacity and our country
What is obvious to me is that a lot of people deeply care about their neighbors and this country.
They didn't think we would. We do.

At this point I have more hope in the Republicans doing the right thing than Marie Perez. She must have a better job lined up or something.
I’ll keep plugging away to make sure that Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars are being invested in an effective, durable, and responsible way.

Always read M Gessen. Donald Trump ruled the GOP using the same terror techniques that he’s now using to rule the country. Plenty of GOP politicians and activists knew this all along and full well. They chose to capitulate to the terror. They are complicit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...
