Creating my own sunshine ☀️
Mark Carney built a global profile in 2026 by standing up to President Trump. If some prediction-market traders and admirers are right, the Canadian PM could end the year with the Nobel Peace Prize and Time magazine’s Person of the Year.

Good to see diplomacy happening face-to-face.
I am going to try to keep you updated on my trip to the Middle East.

My first meeting when I arrived in Qatar last night was a long dinner with Ali Al Thawadi, a key diplomat who coordinates U.S.-Iran shuttle diplomacy.

Good. Let voters vote.

Congress should do its job.
The Democratic base is eager to see Trump held accountable for some of his actions, and congressional investigators are quietly preparing for next year, @mviser.bsky.social reports:

Protect the data. Protect our oceans.
When the Trump administration started dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system earlier this year, scientists, fishermen and Congress fought back. On Saturday, a 238-foot ship set sail to reinstall the first batch of monitors in the waters of the Pacific.
After Outcry, Monitors the Trump Administration Tried to Scrap Return to Sea
Under pressure from Congress, a network of ocean monitors that provides vital data to meteorologists, climate scientists, oceanographers and the fishing industry is being restored.

SNL really knows how to turn Republican campaign ads into comedy gold. 😂
“Saturday Night Live,” hosted this week by Dakota Johnson and featuring the musical guest Turnstile, included a surprise Taylor Swift cameo and an opening sketch spoofing Republican officials recording election advertisements. Here’s a full episode recap.

Our farmers deserve better than higher costs and unpredictable trade wars. Rural America shouldn’t have to pay the price for bad policy.
Our farmers didn’t ask for higher diesel costs and an expensive trade war, but that’s what President Trump delivered.

If flu is arriving early, we should take it seriously. Get vaccinated, look out for your neighbors, and let’s keep our communities healthy.
Flu is hitting unusually early in parts of the West, catching doctors by surprise as some hospitals see levels of illness more typical of early winter.

Epidemiologists and clinicians are encouraging patients to get their shots sooner instead of waiting.
Why you should think about getting your flu shot right now

We’ve got 30 days to talk to voters about how I’m going to lower costs, keep New Yorkers safe, and stand up to Trump.

30 days to mobilize everyone to go out and vote.

30 days until we fight and win.

So much corruption.
So much betrayal.
So many conflicts.
So much greed.

No real plan to lower your costs.

I read online that some people think Thomas Massie plans to run for presidency in 2028.

Lol.

He didn’t win his Republican primary. Not sure how this would pan out as a presidential nominee.

Guess we will stay tuned. 👀

Praying for everyone on board and their families. Hoping the search crews find answers and bring some measure of peace to those waiting. 🙏
Search crews with the U.S. Coast Guard have found debris from a medical transfer plane that went missing while flying six people from Bermuda to Boston, officials said Saturday evening.

Run strong, Minnesota! Proud of everyone out there putting in the miles and making memories together. 🇺🇸
Good luck to all the runners in the Twin Cities Marathon today and the weather is good! Thank you to the volunteers who make this such an incredible Minnesota event.

North Carolina may surprise the GOP this time. Cooper has the record, the experience, and the momentum. Let’s keep it going.
Former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper is running in a state that for decades has more often preferred Republicans for federal office.

Polls have consistently shown him leading his opponent, Republican Michael Whatley, most recently by double digits.

Happy birthday to my friend and governing partner, @lgaustindavis.bsky.social!

We’ve made a lot of progress together for the good people of Pennsylvania over the last four years… and had some fun times along the way, too. Enjoy your day, Austin!
