I’m excited to announce that FOUR cities — St. Louis, Jackson, Jacksonville, and Baton Rouge — have been selected to receive nearly $300 MILLION through the Model Cities Initiative to strengthen the rule of law and improve public safety in their jurisdictions!
Thanks to @POTUS Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, the Model Cities Initiative allows @TheJusticeDept to invest in these four cities that are setting an example for advancing public safety to keep their communities safe.
Looking forward to these historic partnerships. #MakeAmericaSafeAgain

Presidential Message on Reformation Day:
From the earliest days of our Republic, prayer and faith in Almighty God have stood as the foundation of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness. This Reformation Day, I send my best wishes to the countless Christians across our country commemorating the Protestant Reformation and its enduring message of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Five hundred years ago, William Tyndale — inspired by the work of Martin Luther — advanced the Protestant Reformation’s devotion to Holy Scripture through the publication of the first New Testament printed in English, shaping the language of the Bibles that would fortify the faith and resolve of America’s founding generation.
The Sacred Scriptures helped form the religious convictions that formed our young Nation’s founding ideals of God-given rights and individual liberty, a spiritual inheritance we honor as we continue to reflect on 250 glorious years of American Independence. The Bible remains a cornerstone of our Nation’s character and upholds our steadfast devotion to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, my Administration is working to restore the moral and religious foundations that have sustained our Republic for generations. As President, I will always support citizens of faith and defend their place in the public square, honoring the enduring role of our churches in strengthening families, serving communities, and preserving the core values that have anchored us across the centuries.
As Christians across our country unite in faith and fellowship this Reformation Day, I send my heartfelt prayers for a meaningful celebration and encourage each of you to draw renewed strength from God’s Word as we carry forward the blessings of faith and freedom throughout our beloved Nation.

.@VP: "There has been no company in the United States, unfortunately, that has abused this system more than Microsoft."
Microsoft laid off 6,000 American workers in 2025 after certifying that it could not find qualified American employees — yet the company was approved for more than 6,000 H-1Bs and filed 3,682 PERM applications, including nearly 1,000 applications for the same positions as the laid off American workers.
.@VP: "The H1-B visa program is meant to allow companies to bring in really the best of the best from outside the United States of America for positions that are completely impossible to fill with American workers. Unfortunately, the program has become rife with fraud."

🚨 #BreakingNews Judge rules Washington Legislature cannot empower commission to remove elected sheriff
A Thurston County Superior Court judge ruled Friday that the Legislature cannot empower a state commission to remove a duly elected sheriff, siding with opponents of a new law that ties the office to state certification.
Judge Christine Schaller issued the ruling after hearing arguments on Senate Bill 5974, Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank said. Swank, who attended the hearing, said Schaller found that sheriffs are elected officials and should not be treated differently from other elected officials, and that sheriffs, like other politicians, have First Amendment rights. He also said she also found that the Legislature cannot empower the Criminal Justice Training Commission to remove a duly elected sheriff.
Sheriff Swank called the decision a victory for the rule of law and the Constitution. He said Schaller broke the ruling into sections and that he still needed to review it in full. No written order had been published, and the state had not commented, as of Friday afternoon.
Judge Schaller issued the preliminary injunction on April 29, one day before much of Second Substitute Senate Bill 5974 was set to take effect. The law, signed April 1 by Gov. Bob Ferguson, imposed new eligibility rules on sheriffs and tied their ability to remain in office to certification by the Criminal Justice Training Commission. Loss of that certification would have created a vacancy, allowing removal without a voter recall.
Before the bill, state law required sheriffs to complete basic training but did not clearly force an elected sheriff from office if that certification was later revoked.
The suit was brought by four eastern Washington sheriffs — Brad Manke of Stevens County, John Nowels of Spokane County, Glenn Blakeslee of Pend Oreille County and Ray Maycumber of Ferry County — represented by attorney Mark Lamb. The state has appealed. On May 5, a Washington Supreme Court commissioner denied the state’s request to stay the injunction, leaving the block in effect while the appeal proceeds.
Bill sponsor former Snohomish County Sheriff and current Sen. John Lovick, D-Mill Creek, said the measure simply applied the same certification rules already used for rank-and-file officers and police chiefs. Critics, including some Republican lawmakers, called it an effort to override local voters.
Friday’s ruling does not repeal Senate Bill 5974, but Judge Schaller's April 29 injunction keeps the state from using the challenged parts against elected sheriffs. This is reinforced by the WA State Supreme Court in May leaving the injunction in place.
The Legislature can pass a new bill striking Senate Bill 5974, or amending out the sheriff provisions, in a future session.

Good morning y'all happy Thursday !
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

BREAKING: Former governors Inslee (WA) and Brown (OR) filed responses in two SCOTUS cases. Asked what authority they had to mandate COVID products immune from liability while bound by federal contracts requiring voluntary consent, they pointed to the Ninth Circuit—which ignored those contracts.
The question is whether states can mandate experimental drugs while also requiring a waiver of the right to sue if injured. Neither governor could defend the 9th Circuit's opinion, nor did they try. In other words, America, the COVID-19 mandates were unlawful as applied to drugs classified as investigational and products immune from civil liability.
Why? You hold a privilege of citizenship and a fundamental right to sue when injured, and states are precluded from using coercion to separate you from that right by punishing you for refusing drugs immune from civil liability. This fact has 200 years of Supreme Court precedent behind it. These cases END all vaccine mandates in the nation as we now know them. Stand by for major updates coming over the next two weeks.

1) Both @RealSKeshel and @jchilders98 have good analysis of the Greenland deal today. I won't repeat what they said.
2) Let me remind you that this was simply the last domino to fall. If you can find one, take out a paper map of the world and get a red marker.

I miss incandescent light bulbs, and know I’m not alone.
Millions of Americans mourn their disappearance, which began when the federal government effectively banned them just a few years ago.
LED light bulbs are amazingly efficient and have their place, but they’re expensive and not well suited for every customer in every situation.
My bill, the LIT Act (“LIT” is short for “Liberating Incandescent Technology”), would give American consumers the freedom to choose the right light bulb for the job—even if that means incandescent lighting—based on their own, unique needs and preferences.
We’re discussing the LIT Act today at a hearing before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Passing this legislation would be a huge win for consumer choice, competition, affordability, and aesthetics.

I sent my drone up over downtown St. Louis on a gray October morning in 2024 and dropped it straight into the light well of the old Railway Exchange Building.
The old Famous Barr.
The old Macys.
One of the last big department store palaces still standing in a city that once knew how to build things that lasted.
I have photographed St. Louis a lot over the years. It sits right in the heart of the rust belt, a major city that ran on factories, railroads, and downtown retail until those things faded and the people started leaving.
From the air the atrium looks like a graveyard. Black roofs, rusted machines, broken furniture, and years of junk piled in the middle of what used to be the busiest store in town.
You can still see how they designed it, that tight grid of windows around a giant terracotta block and the open court so every office upstairs got light and air.
Now the center is just wreckage.
The building went up in 1913. Famous Barr took the lower floors. Families rode the elevators for decades, looked at the Christmas windows, ate in the tea room. It was the tallest building in St. Louis at the time.
Macys took it over in 2006 and shut the doors for good in August 2013. The offices emptied after that.
Then the squatters and scrap thieves moved in. There were fires. Windows got smashed. Security plates got torn off. Police went through the place every few days. A search dog died falling from the building.
The city keeps spending money just to keep people from living inside a landmark nobody has figured out how to save.
Drones changed how I work. They let me see things that were impossible before, like looking straight down into the hidden center of a twenty one story abandoned building. A photographer and artist has to keep learning the new tools that show up. The camera used to be enough. Then digital came. Then the internet. Now it is the drone. Each one changes what you can show if you bother to learn it instead of sticking with what you already know.
I have been inside a lot of dead buildings. This one feels heavier because you can still tell how much it once mattered. Because of how massive it is as well.
A whole city block.
More than a million square feet.
Cream terracotta that used to shine. Now it sits empty in the middle of downtown like proof that something broke and nobody wanted to fix it.
This picture is what downtown St. Louis looks like when you stop looking away. I keep wondering if anyone still has the energy to bring a building like this back or if we are just going to keep making pictures of the ruins until there is nothing left to shoot.
Not all of St. Louis is abandoned of course. Despite a lot of the crime there today in a lot of ways it remains a thriving, bustling city worth visiting. The Arch, the Cardinals and their new stadium, the City Museum, Cherokee District, the museums and zoo (both of which were free when I have visited and photographed there), great BBQ (Pappy's and Sugar Fire).
I have made many visits over the years to St. Louis and have shot thousands of photographs there. If you want to see more of my work of St. Louis you can find that in this album on Flickr here: flickr.com/photos/thomashawk…

At MEPS you get height, waist, and body-fat checked. Regular accession cap is about 26% BF men / 36% women. If you’re a bit over (up to ~32% / 42%), you can still enlist — but you ship to Future Sailor Preparatory Course (fitness track) at Great Lakes first, not a regular division. That’s the point of FSPC: extra PT, nutrition, sleep habits until you hit standard, then you start boot. People also gain weight in DEP between MEPS and ship date.
Once in training, if you miss the official PFA (1.5-mile run, push-ups, planks), you can get sent to FIT — the old “fat camp” holdover division — for more time and coaching. Same standards. Extra help. High success rate. Not new, not lowered. Giving motivated kids a real shot to serve and change their lives. Support it. 🇺🇸
