I love seeing F1 teams’ STEM programs. These aren’t charity. This is the future national security workforce. This is what keeps us connected and competitive. We’ll talk to Austin’s STEM ecosystem leaders at Elevation Live, on Thurs.: events.stationaustin.org/ele…
This week, we're learning from Austin communities while sharing a little of what we know, too. Together with @Arm and Texas State Technical College, Drive the Future brought 100 students together to tackle engineering challenges, exchange ideas with Jessica Hawkins, and explore what a future in STEM could look like for them.

In NYC today to see @F1’s Christian Horner, @GM Pres. Mark Reuss, and @NASCAR’s Jimmie Johnson in conversation at @Motorsport’s Autosport Business Exchange. #ABXNYC The cultural reach is only getting deeper. And the sponsors in partnerships on and off the track testify to it.

Actually, left my boots at home. Learned my lesson last year walking downtown #Austin event-to-event. #F1 weekends = comfortable, and dusty shoes out at COTA. #USGP #Texas #Giddyup
Get your boots on - we're heading to Austin 🤠🌵

You think Bad Bunny had too much politics… the NFL welcomes back U2, the kings of protest rock activism, as they are on a 50th anniversary media tour speaking out plainly against the Trump administration.

"You can't be everybody's cup of tea." Indeed, looking forward to hearing more from this man and motorsport industry leaders at today's Autosport Business Exchange in New York (#ABXNYC). From ABX to ATX... see you in #Austin on Thursday.
"Just remember, they only boo when they care." Christian Horner didn't receive the warmest of welcomes. 😅

This is golf gentrification like I’ve never seen. Hains Point has been a quintessential muni course for the people, for decades. A duffers course. Hardpan but affordable. Accessible. Communal. Local. Urban. DC has so few affordable golf options. Washington didn’t ask for this.
New: Trump says that East Potomac Golf Course will close on Nov 15 for the redesign by Tom Fazio. “Restoration work will begin on the Fazio Design on November 15th, when the old Course will be closed to play. The new Course will be opened in approximately 15 months.” This comes as there is a heated legal dispute right now about whether the government can redesign the course.

So sad. La Bonne Vache is an absolute GEM in Washington. The best staff, best food, and best deal on blanc des blancs. Glad nobody hurt, hope they can rebuild. DC needs more joints like this.
