Actually, your granddaughter already has an account, even if her parents haven’t claimed it.
Nearly every (99%+) American child does. Over 90% are still unclaimed, but they will be claimed over time. Some in 2 minutes. Others in 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 years, or even 20 years.
And if a parent never claims it? Nothing is lost. No expiration. At 18, the account becomes hers. She verifies her identity and takes control.
The money is there in 25 million accounts, invested and compounding. It waits for the child. 🇺🇸
I wish there was some way I could get my granddaughter on this program. My daughter in law won't do anything that Trump helped promote. Serious TDS there. 😭 So my granddaughter has to miss out on this opportunity you folks are giving these kids. Thank you. These kids deserve so much more for their futures.

Devastating news.
Conor and I have worked together in the campaign trenches for the past 12 years in various jobs. Great friend, great operative, and the glue who's everyone's friend and brings people together.
Praying for his recovery.
On Monday morning November 9, 2026, my husband Conor suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke resulting in a deep brain bleed. He is now in the Neuro ICU, fighting with everything he has.
Anyone who knows Conor knows he lives life to the fullest and has the most enormous heart. He is the person who shows up for the people he loves, every time and without hesitation. Now he needs all of us to show up for him.
These last few days have been the hardest of our lives. We are exhausted and facing so many unknowns. I'm also overwhelmed with gratitude for the family and friends who have dropped everything to be by our side. Every day with Conor is a gift, and every small sign of progress brings hope. I wake up every morning as his wife and lean over to kiss him, thank God he is in my life and for bringing me Conor. I’m still doing that now, just from his hospital bedside.
The road ahead is long and uncertain. Conor will need critical care, rehabilitation, ongoing support, and he won't be able to work for the foreseeable future. This fundraiser will help cover medical bills and lost income, so I can focus on what matters most: being with Conor, supporting his recovery, and bringing him home.
If you're able to give, any amount makes a real difference. If you can't, sharing this page helps just as much.
And please, pray for Conor. Pray for his strength, his healing, and the days ahead.
Conor is the strongest person I know, and I believe in him with everything I have. I can’t wait for the day he wakes up, smiles at me, and says, “hi, beautiful” because that’s how he always wakes up. Thank you for your love, generosity, and prayers. They mean more than I can say.

Democratic turnout running 4.7% ahead of Republicans in California is one of many factors contributing to the GOP's thrashing up and down the ballot. In 2018's Blue Wave election, registered Republicans still turned out at 3.8% ahead of registered Democrats.

A year ago, I ran @databricks totally differently from today. Getting stuff done at Databricks involved calling ppl, scheduling meetings, and lots of back and forth.
Today, I just wake up and use Genie, which works for me in the background. I often just use the phone app to queue up work in the background.
Three examples from just this week:
→ Org charts. How do we flatten the org? It literally found me the hotspots where many projects had gotten stuck. Turns out the data was already in the ontology graph.
→ New internal project everyone raves about (Keanu). Genie monitored the slack channel, got all the insights, correlated them with the source code, and gave me a dashboard of what I needed.
→ New culture survey. Used ontology to figure out from the org chart, work output, and survey scores, which leaders are AI pilled. Why certain scores (e.g. work-life balance) are so low.
These are things that used to take me hours and many meetings, often waiting for the data science team. This is possible because Genie has access to an Agentic Ontology, so it proactively does all the work in the background for me.
