Jack Dorsey, who co-founded social media giant Twitter in 2006, is stepping down as CEO, the company said Monday.
Dorsey, 45, will remain on Twitter's board of directors until next year. Chief technology officer Parag Agrawal, who joined Twitter in 2017, will replace Dorsey as the company's new CEO, effectively immediately.
In a tweet announcing his resignation Monday, Dorsey didn't discuss what lies ahead for his career, but said, "I decided it's time for me to finally leave."
A blistering heat wave that recently brought record-breaking temperatures to large sections of the southwestern United States, including several major cities, is forecast to continue this week as it tracks over much of the country on its way toward the East Coast.

Metropolitan areas like Chicago may be affected by a possible twister.
After four days of voting, with more than 400 million people eligible across 27 countries, European voters have pulled the bloc's 720-seat parliament farther to the right than it has ever been.

Far-right parties made gains in Europe's top three economies — Germany, France and Italy — with gains by politicians who campaigned against immigration, against support for Ukraine and against climate policy.

But this year, the WWDC could be a make-or-break moment for the tech giant.
