As a former commander-in-chief, I’ve had the honor of meeting with our nation’s servicemembers and military spouses over the years. Hearing their stories and seeing their courage fundamentally changes who you are, and reminds you what living your values actually looks like. Thank you to all the veterans who have bravely served our country.

BREAKING: Under @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom’s leadership, California’s economy has grown by over 50% — adding $1.5 TRILLION — since 2019.
As he leaves office, there is ZERO projected deficit over the next two years, and the state is flush with an extra $7.7 billion in revenue above projections.

In this critical moment for the American project, I’ve been thinking a lot about what comes next. Over the past year and a half, I’ve put those thoughts on paper, and they’ve grown into a book I’m proud to share with you.
My latest book, NEXT, is not a policy manual. It’s a look at how our nation got to this point, an argument for why this is the moment to build something better, and a case for the principles that should guide us as we do.
NEXT arrives at your local bookseller and on your favorite audiobook platforms on January 26th and is available for pre-order today. I hope you’ll read it. simonandschusterpublishing.c…

Now is the time for us to come together — Democrats and Republicans — to deliver for Texas.

CNN was scheduled to be today’s TV pool. But the White House blocked us from being allowed in for the president’s event in the Oval Office that’s now underway. That means none of the five networks will have audio or video of his remarks.

There is one contingency in which I won’t reintroduce the articles of impeachment:
Hegseth resigns.
“Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, the famously anti-Trump GOP lawmaker, told CNN he plans to trigger a vote to impeach Hegseth when Congress returns next week — and multiple GOP sources said they expect it to pass.” cnn.com/2026/11/04/politics/…

Having a girl in her twenties who married a millionaire man three decades older than her tell average Americans they don’t realize how much money they have is quite possibly the worst strategy ever.

Wait, let me make sure I've got this right. NYC Mayor Mamdani taxed wealthy people on second homes they don't live in, the city's budget got balanced, the rich are still rich, and ordinary New Yorkers didn't get hit with a broad tax increase? That's really all it took?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NYC FY2027 budget balance used agency savings, $4B+ state aid/authorizations (incl. pension restructuring saving $1.64B), and $500M projected from pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes—not primarily that tax.
