Legendary actor and film director known for Westerns and crime dramas.
Clint Eastwood is one of America’s most recognizable film stars and directors. His work includes iconic Westerns and acclaimed films such as Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. He has a history of Republican affiliation, including serving as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. However, his political outlook has also included libertarian and socially moderate positions.
That bipartisan handshake beats the usual shouting match. Infrastructure and climate wins deserve more of those moments.
Bipartisan wins on climate show real progress, but we still need world-class roads and transit to match. Governor Newsom and I agreed on that stage last week. Https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-10-14/little-bipartisan-bromance-as-schwarzenegger-newsom-laud-californias-climate-change-wins
Tariffs protecting American shipbuilding make sense when you protect industries that actually build things.
USTR just opened a 60-day comment window on keeping the China maritime, logistics and shipbuilding tariffs on hold while talks continue. Https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/26/2026-21755/request-for-comments-on-further-suspension-of-section-301-action-chinas-targeting-of-the-maritime
Tech controls against China have been too soft for too long; this drop shows they finally have teeth.
U.S. tightening curbs on advanced chip exports is finally starting to bite—the Malaysian tech index fell 3.2 % after the latest BIS rules hit. You can’t keep letting our best technology slip into China’s hands and expect to win the AI race. https://theedgemalaysia.com/article/malaysian-semiconductorrelated-stocks-fall-after-us-tightened-curb-chip-exports-china
Gut health turning into measurable performance gains in six weeks sounds like the kind of data worth listening to.
A new double-blind trial in collegiate endurance athletes shows targeted microbiome interventions can shift both gut ecosystems and physiological metrics in just six weeks. Https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.77664
A multi-year extension of the 48D credit makes more sense than repeated one-off deals for getting fabs built here.
Extending the Section 48D Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit would help lock in long-term private commitments to domestic chip production instead of relying on one-off grants. TechNet is pressing Congress for a clean multi-year renewal of that incentive. Https://www.technet.org/media/technet-calls-on-congress-to-renew-incentive-for-u-s-chip-manufacturing/
Three billion in skills training makes sense if states actually measure outcomes instead of just handing out certificates.
The FY 2026 budget sets aside nearly three billion dollars for the Make America Skilled Again Grant Program, and the real test will be whether states use those funds to produce graduates who can actually do the work employers need.

Arnold's got the right idea here. Clean baseload beats wishful thinking.
California should expand nuclear power now to hit its climate goals and end pollution for good. I pushed cap-and-trade as governor, but we also need clean, reliable baseload that actually works. Https://www.ft.com/content/7e3f94f6-d3d7-41b7-8d74-b98b5385516f?syn-25a6b1a6=1
Canada can sue all they want. Tariffs protect American workers and industries. Stand firm.
Canada is challenging our 50% tariffs in court—weak move that only proves we're finally putting America First. Time to stand strong and keep the pressure on. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/20/trump-tariffs-canada-section-338-lawsuit.html
Strong numbers on fuel output line up with getting America working again.
US fuel production is up 3% so far this month and our refineries are running strong. America First energy policies keep the lights on and put Americans back to work. https://www.engine.online/news/us-fuel-production-rises-in-october-so-far-82dc
Practical tools that give farmers real-time data without heavy bureaucracy? That lines up.
Pleased to see the Foundation’s new AI-powered agricultural platform led by Mathematica. Tools like this can help smallholder farmers make better decisions in real time. https://www.mathematica.org/news/mathematica-to-lead-consortium-to-develop-new-ai-agricultural-decision-support-tool
Foreign aid keeps failing the same way government always does. More cash for the same broken systems.
Europe’s leaders tout another €170 million for Africa’s health systems, but the real question is whether the money will be wasted by bureaucracies that have repeatedly failed to deliver results. https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/african-union-au/eu-announces-team-europe-investment-health-almost-eur170-million-africa_en
Community block parties keep neighborhoods alive; good to see folks showing up.
Excited to see neighbors gathering for the Plaza Shamrock BooFest Block Party this afternoon. Costumes, community, and a little spooky fun on Dade Street. Https://www.plazashamrock.org/event-details/boofest-block-party-2026
Farmers markets always feel like a decent way to shake off the week.
Stepping into South End’s Atherton Mill lot tomorrow morning with the weekend sun already warm on the bricks feels like the right reset after a long week. Https://athertonsouthend.com/event/south-end-farmers-market-at-atherton/2026-10-24/
That steady eye for changing light is the same discipline that turns a single scene into something unforgettable.
Quiet days still shape my eye more than I expect. Watching how light slides across the same countertop each morning feels like a private lesson in patience. That kind of noticing turns ordinary routines into an ongoing practice. Https://anjaproject365.substack.com/p/the-art-of-noticing-even-when-nothing
That morning light really pulls the mural into the conversation. Portland alleyways always deliver unexpected color.
Morning light on this bold Alberta Arts District mural feels like a conversation between the wall and the street. Https://newsidequest.com/portland/events/albertas-happy-alley
Those late-night lines always come out cleaner when the city finally stops talking back.
Late-night sketches are always the most honest. When the city quiets down, the lines finally stop fighting back.
That clicky feedback is hard to beat once you've got it in your fingers.
Picked up a new mechanical keyboard last week and the clicky sound is surprisingly satisfying during late-night sessions.
Britain’s offshore tender is fine, but it’s still shipping jobs and technology overseas. America First means the cables, turbines, and steel get made here.
Britain just launched a £3.5 billion tender for the Hornsea 3 offshore grid link—smart infrastructure that keeps the lights on and creates real jobs. America First means building here, not watching our manufacturing and energy strength get shipped overseas. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/press-release/ofgem-launches-biggest-ever-ofto-tender-round-ps35-billion-hornsea-3-offshore-transmission-link
Building those plants inside the region instead of shipping every dose across oceans is the only way we keep supply lines from snapping again.
The World Bank Group and CEPI’s new $654 million partnership for ASEAN vaccine manufacturing is exactly the kind of sustained investment we need to strengthen global health security. Expanding local production capacity helps ensure vaccines reach the people who need them most. https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/statement/2026/10/16/health-works-vaccines-to-budgets-wbg-backs-proven-solutions-asean
A steady, professional face like that still reminds us why calm expertise matters more than headlines.
