Basketball has given me a platform, and with that comes responsibility. That’s why I’m excited to share the launch of the AJ Dybantsa Foundation. The goal is to help create opportunities for young people and communities by showing up in meaningful ways.

Some people criticize all the government contracts SpaceX gets, but the Pentagon said that SpaceX has saved the government over $40B. One SLS launch costs billions. One SpaceX launch costs less than $75M. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell on SpaceX's $22B in gov contracts: "We earned that. We bid it, we were the lowest price, best bidder, we won and we execute. It's not a bad thing to serve the U.S. government with great capability and products." The people complaining that SpaceX's gov contracts were "wasteful" really have no clue what they are talking about. Starship (video below) will take savings to a new level and open up incredible opportunities.

Freaky Friday?! 🫣 Earlier this week at ‘A King's Trust Celebration’, The King and Queen traded places with antanddec for a moment on stage to celebrate the charity’s 50th anniversary. His Majesty began the charity, as Prince of Wales, in 1976 with the aim of improving the lives of disadvantaged young people in the UK. Since then, The The King's Trust has supported over 1.3 million young people across the UK – and even more across the world with The King's TrustInt. Ant and Dec have supported The Trust for 25 years, partnering with the charity to help the next generation develop skills for the media industry and find jobs and training opportunities.

This administration will always focus on workers as we develop artificial intelligence technologies. American workers deserve a seat at the table as we develop new policies that will lead to higher wages, safer communities, and more prosperity across our country.

The first rung of the employment ladder is disappearing. Saturday jobs and first opportunities gave young people more than a wage. They built confidence, taught responsibility and provided the experience needed to get on. Now, Government decisions are making those opportunities harder to find. Higher National Insurance, rising business rates, new employment regulations and soaring energy costs are piling burden after burden onto the businesses that create jobs. Young people are paying the price. The Government cannot keep looking at each decision in isolation while ignoring the cumulative damage it is doing to jobs, businesses and economic growth. The Labour Government has done enough damage. It needs to think again.

Here’s a bit of news. 🗞️ I am really proud to be taking on additional roles in the Victorian Labor Government on behalf of Premier Jacinta Allan. I am so proud to continue serving as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier. In addition to being Parliamentary Secretary for Men’s Behaviour Change, I will also be adding to my responsibilities as Victoria’s first Parliamentary Secretary for Men’s Health & Wellbeing. This is a really critical role, which acknowledges the need to support the physical, mental health and healthy masculinities of men and boys in our communities. The Premier has asked me to serve as Parliamentary Secretary for Violence Reduction, working across communities to stop crime before it starts, to get at-risk students into sports, arts and other positive activities to help them stay on track and discourage them from turning to crime. With really important reforms of “Adult Time for Violent Crime” and consequences for young people using violence, we need to prevent and divert young people away in the first instance. These are really critical roles and looking forward to the important work ahead.
