A woman visiting family in Richmond, VA had her car jacked with her two babies still inside. Police used their Flock camera network to narrow the search area and found the vehicle, and children within 45 minutes. This is good. We should not stop the police from doing this. wtvr.com/news/local-news/ric…

What Could America Build by 2035? On #ExplaintoShane, @ShaneTews is joined by @a16z’s @davidu to discuss what American Dynamism would practically require to become a reality. Listen to the episode here: aei.org/multimedia/what-coul…

My feed these days is mostly folks arguing about ALPRs and Flock cameras. In 2025, Omaha launched cityofomahaconnect.org/ I've been curious about it for awhile so I used @CrimeDecoder's new Crime Synth app to estimate monthly violent crime rates after rollout.

Great. Flock doesn’t do that. Next time have people who know what they are talking about — instead of wasting taxpayer time and grandstanding.

My intervention today at the UN Security Council. A prosperous future will not be secured by a global regulator. It will be secured by sovereign nations that adopt super intelligence, responsible companies that build it, and free people who refuse to be ruled by fear.

NEWS There is now a broad-based acceleration in U.S. business activity, the highest in five years and it’s not just a manufacturing bounce. U.S. manufacturing PMI expanded sharply and unexpectedly to 57.0 vs 53.6 estimated. This is the strongest manufacturing reading in roughly five years. And services sector activity jumped unexpectedly this month too, to 58.7 vs 56.0 estimate, according to S&P Global. That’s a 59-month high, also the highest in nearly five years. Services are the largest part of the U.S. economy, so this is particularly significant. Composite PMI at 58.4 combining manufacturing and services is the strongest U.S. business-activity reading in more than five years. The numbers indicate that demand and output are accelerating across both goods-producing and service businesses, rather than the economy being carried by one sector. The data also underscores the Atlanta Fed GDPNow model already pointing toward stronger 5.1% third-quarter economic growth. #BreakingNews #BREAKING #news #breaking @x @EveningEdit @FoxBusiness @FoxNews @ap @Reuters @WSJ @nytimes @CBSNews @ABC @NBCNews

Shareholders of The New York Times filed a lawsuit today, arguing the paper has failed to meet its most basic obligation: to tell readers the truth and correct itself in a timely fashion when it doesn’t. Exclusive for @TheFP here: thefp.com/p/exclusive-shareh…

Awesome video @SecDuffy. A huge win for travelers. Kudos to you, @FAANews and @AirSpaceIntel!

🚨LIVE NOW: “SMART” — THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED AIR TRAFFIC SYSTEM 🚨 Built by humans for humans, SMART helps America’s airspace go from reactive to proactive, preventing delays & cancellations, and easing stress on our controllers The result? MORE TIME FOR WHAT MATTERS MOST ✈️

🚨NEW PAPER OUT TODAY🚨 In a just-published @ManhattanInst report, @CharlesFLehman and I address ourselves to the debate about automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Casuals know them as “Flock cameras” 🧵 manhattan.institute/article/…

Today, the internet is ablaze over Flock cameras and ALPRs more generally. Many libertarians are leading the charge. But the use of new technology for law enforcement isn’t anti-liberty at all. I explain in @CityJournal. city-journal.org/article/flo…

NEW from me and @Rafa_Mangual @ManhattanInst: Everything you wanted to know about ALPRs (aka "Flock Cameras") but were too afraid to ask. We break down: * What ALPRs are (cameras that take pictures of license plates); * The evidence that they reduce crime (developing, but pointing in the right direction); * How they relate to the Fourth Amendment (they don't contravene it) And we explain (including model legislation), how states can and should regulate them: * mandatory logging of access; * require supervisory approval for access in many cases; * impose a 30-day limit on retaining images; * require quarterly audits, and make auditing materials available to government oversight authorities and the public; * impose criminal penalties for the abuse of ALPRs; * limit their use to the investigation of major crimes; * require affirmative permission before placing them near healthcare facilities, places of worship, and polling places. ALPRs are a useful police technology. There are risks, but we can mitigate them with smart regulation. This is how to do that. Read the full report: manhattan.institute/article/…

THIS is the SMART Center — the most advanced air traffic management system on Earth! The artificial intelligence tool gathers info from 200 live data streams into one real-time platform That means: ✈️ Better routing flights around weather ✈️ Reopening airspace faster ✈️ Adjusting flight schedules so you land and reach your gate on time We are modernizing America’s skies thanks to @POTUS 🇺🇸

Because it's a ridiculous question. Why should my daughter eat healthier food than the average person? Why should she breath cleaner air than people living in Beijing & Mumbai? The answer to all such questions is "because I love her & can provide her something better". Period.

It's a new day in American Aviation! With SMART, America is entering a new era of smarter, more predictable air travel. For passengers, the goal is simple: fewer unnecessary delays, faster recovery when disruption happens, and more certainty when they fly. That’s the mission, and we’re proud to partner with the @USDOT and the @FAANews to deliver it.

AI safety tip: if you don’t want AI to stab you, stop telling it to stab you.

Terrific DC forum from @newindustrials. Great to hear @NASAAdmin and @TimSheehyMT discuss the need to push and defend the American frontier in all its forms.
