DOGE eliminated more than 280,000 federal jobs in February and March. In the second part of my conversation with author Michael Lewis, he told me what the Trump administration gets wrong about federal workers.

The end of an era. A little while ago, we closed the hatch after saying goodbye to our @Space_Station crewmates, the Soyuz 72S crew of Alexey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner, and @astro_Pettit. Just minutes ago, they detached from station and departed on their orbital journey back to…

The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books. The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development. These aren’t ‘woke donations.’…

Thrilled to receive our astronaut wings from SpaceX. Though it wasn’t a competition, I have to admit that I felt a bit nervous watching @Gillis_SarahE play the violin in space—As our precedent mission, Polaris Dawn has set such an incredible standard—brilliantly planned and…

Isabella gave her all to serve her country—until she was illegally, unjustly fired. Please listen to her story. I am fighting for Isabella and for federal workers across the country—these firings cannot stand.
