It was a swim, bike, run weekend putting final preparations together before @IRONMANtri #IronmanFlorida on Nov. 7th — and a tourist from Tennessee got a photo of me swimming in the Gulf of #KrohnZone! 🤪😍

We can all rest assured because when Baghdad Bob makes a promise that he won’t raise taxes, he means it…this time..for sure…no really… why are you laughing?

Today we are announcing our biggest bet yet on our own silicon.
Starting next calendar year, we will scale our Maia family to multi-gigawatt deployments, making it the primary inference system for our own product and services.
And we’re introducing Maia 300, which delivers 40% more tokens per watt compared to leading GPU-based systems.
We are already deploying Maia 200 across the US, Europe, and Australia, delivering up to 1.7x more tokens per watt across experiences in Teams and Copilot.
Our goal is to build on the full-stack efficiency gains we’ve already seen, while continuing to bring the latest innovations from across the ecosystem into our fleet.

Thank you, @POTUS, for this incredible honor today. I'm humbled to stand alongside so many giants of American innovation and looking forward for what we can continue to do together to advance technology and drive American prosperity.
.@POTUS: "For more than three decades, @satyanadella has been a key figure in the transformation of Microsoft — revolutionizing the company and empowering businesses, students, and consumers from all over the world with some of the most capable software ever built."

I demand to know who has been setting energy policy for the last two decades that got us into this affordability crisis! #waleg
We’ve been pushing back against unfair energy rate increases around the state as costs climb. Now the Bonneville Power Administration is pushing for a change that could push costs even higher. We filed an amicus brief arguing that in the midst of an affordability crisis, the last thing customers need right now is the threat of yet another increase in prices. atg.wa.gov/news/news-release…

The perfect ending for Justin Verlander.
His daughter runs out to the mound and he walks off with his family.
Feels like a movie.

I flew down to Austin in late August to have a nice long chat with John Papola (@DadSavesAmerica) about innovation, the Woke Mind Virus, AI, space, and more!
I sat down with @BenSlivka, an early Microsoft executive who led the team that built Internet Explorer, served 20 years on Northwestern University's Board of Trustees, and has spent decades since as an angel investor across biotech, space, and software startups.

Leaving Seattle/King County was the easiest decision I’ve made. Sad that @washdems destroyed the state so badly.
Redfin released data showing where people were searching for homes outside of their own state, and Seattle is not only the top spot for people wanting to leave;
It has more than double the people per capita than 2nd place San Jose, and has the 2nd highest amount of people by raw numbers, behind NYC, all looking at houses outside of Washington state.
We continue to be first and last, on charts you don't want to be first and last on.

Thanks, Peter! This is the beginning of the end for destructive wildfires. In a country that loses ~$500B every year to wildfires, even tiny gains make for huge savings, to say nothing of the incalculable value of lives and homes.
Congrats to @PalmerLuckey and Anduril for winning the Wildfire XPRIZE - for detecting and suppressing a wildfire within 10 minutes of ignition!

Voting yes on initiative 645 to repeal the state income tax is critical for the future of Washington. Encouraging to see the polling, but spread the word and get out the vote!

So much for the Rule of Law in WA.
The WA State Supreme Court has overturned the will of the people in I-2066, the initiative to protect natural gas use in WA.
Once again, the Court used the "single-subject rule" as its justification for denying the people's voice. And the right they retain in the State Constitution. This rule has become the default excuse the Court uses when it has no good reason to reject a people's initiative.
This use of the "single-subject rule" is intellectually lazy and dishonest. But it's something sponsors of initiatives have to anticipate. We did that effectively with I-2081 (the original WA Parents' Bill of Rights), I-2111 (no state income tax) and I-2113 (restore police pursuits)--which all passed court scrutiny.
In WA, writing an initiative is similar to writing legislation. But not exactly the same. The State Supreme Court applies different standards of review. That's not right, but it's reality.
This fall, vote for Edwards, Stevens, O'Donnell, Larson and Bloom to the WA State Supreme Court. They will respect the State Constitution and the initiative process.
