It’s amazing. A company (not mine) contracted to use @crunchbase. But they found it is garbage, and stopped using it. Employee who claimed to have canceled it lied that he had. So now they want thousands of dollars for a crummy program no one uses. That strikes me as crooked.

A Turkish PhD student at Tufts on a student visa was snatched off the street by men dressed in black with black baklavas & thrown into unmarked van. A court had ordered ICE to leave her alone & they ignored it. Her crime? Writing an op-ed in support of the Palestinian people.

Trump makes Neville Chamberlain look like Churchill. His eagerness to capitulate to an aggressor's invasion of a sovereign nation, his failure to get the danger of Putin (at least Chamberlain knew Hitler was a threat) & his foreign policy incompetence threatens world stability

Trump says that illegal border crossings have fallen "by much more than 100%" I swear, this is the stupidest man walking the planet. And if you don't understand why based on that sentence, and you're not seven years old, you are also quite stupid.

What SCOTUS has wrought: If Trump keeps ignoring court orders - even of SCOTUS - the judiciary has no power to respond. In the past, such actions would lead to contempt. But this egregious Constitutional violation is an official act, so, thanks to SCOTUS, courts can do nothing.

New on Substack: "Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st state isn't diplomacy, it's a pitch made with the charm of a bad infomercial. And Canadians, who politely endure their proximity to the U.S., aren't clamoring for membership in Trump’s America. https://t.co/Aw8V512kFa https://t.co/3ZK4uTy3BH

On my substack: Trump isn’t just fantasizing about turning Canada into the 51st state—he’s holding formal meetings about it. Yes, while most people might be planning sensible policies, Trump is doodling maple leaves on “Make Canada American, Eh?” caps. https://t.co/Aw8V512kFa https://t.co/oSWHvEIF4s

The Chief Justice's whines about criticism of the court - but it should be more. The court is seizing power from Presidents, Congress, States, agencies, citizens - following no coherent judicial philosophy other than worshiping its own authority. https://t.co/GNqRb1NrYI https://t.co/GzxEQt5WI3

New on my substack: It’s horrifying how ignorant Vance & Musk are on geopolitical realities. It's as though they've picked the worst hill to die on. There’s something deeply troubling about them backing a party officially deemed for a threat to democracy. https://t.co/IQGgeuzCp6 https://t.co/HZN3GGU4iP

New on my substack: it seems Musk & Vance don’t have a clue about German extremists they cheer. After all, why read German court rulings or findings on AfD’s anti-Semitic ideologies when you can bask in the glory of being “controversial” on Twitter, right? https://t.co/3YbiqsH3Fw https://t.co/O2Yy3jh0GA

It's almost like something big happened to change demographics of the most anti-nazi areas of Germany. I think I heard something about that. Like, in 1990? You know, German reunification, @jdvance? And East Germans subjected to pro-nazi propaganda occupied those anti-nazi areas.

JD Vance @JDVance

I’m not endorsing a party in the German elections, as it’s not my country and we hope to have good relations with all Germans. But this is an interesting piece. Also interesting; American media slanders AfD as Nazi-lite, But AfD is most popular in the same areas of Germany that
