Steve Ballmer

Important idea and well presented

I built @USAFacts on one idea: give Americans the data and let them argue it out for themselves. @BenShapiro and @profgalloway graciously agreed to put my idea to the test. What do you think about this debate format? youtu.be/A7_1Mqhmf4Y

For my Los Angeles Clippers followers

This has been a very difficult time for everybody associated with the Clippers, and for that, I have sincere regrets. I want to apologize to our fans, employees, and my fellow NBA team owners for the distraction and distress this matter has caused, for which I accept responsibility as principal owner.

We are committing to put this chapter behind us. We have communicated to the NBA that we are complying with the penalties assessed by the league, have paid the fine, and are moving forward. While there are still disagreements concerning the findings in the report, this is not where I want to focus. Team owners should support, not distract.

The challenges ahead of us are significant, but so is our resolve. We will continue to build our team and invest in our community. The confidence of our fans is our priority. With our talented roster, outstanding staff and clear vision, I am certain that we will compete at the highest level and be an organization our fans can be proud of.

I agree with @terriludwig: we’ll create more opportunities for kids and families when the private sector, non-profit sector and government all bring their unique strengths to the table. Great interview.

Every summer, I get fired up by spending time with the @USAFacts summer interns. They bring amazing energy and fresh ideas for how we can make government data more accessible for Americans. This year's cohort is no exception. Excited to see where their tenacity and hard work take them.
