Paid training, a job and a path to America’s future.
For 250 years, America has delivered the world’s greatest inventions because of the generations of Americans who built them.
The AI revolution will bring historic opportunity. America’s Workforce Academy, built by Meta, will train the electricians, welders, crew leaders, plumbers, fiber installers and other skilled tradespeople who will build it.
It’s an unprecedented program, powered by an initial $115 million first year investment.

“NEXT UP”
If you missed yesterday’s “Next Up,” I break down the House vote that underscored the rapidly shifting politics around Israel and what it says about both parties.
Then, former Bernie Sanders adviser Tad Devine explains why he believes Democrats mishandled/screwed Sanders’ 2016 campaign, the future of the progressive movement, and who could lead it into 2028. Emily Jashinskyjoins me to discuss the growing generational divide in American politics and the competing views of Vice President J.D. Vance.
I also close with some personal reflections on Senator Lindsey Graham, sharing stories that offer a glimpse of the man behind the public figure.
