Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, announced a $566 million investment at the conference to “make Europe a magnet for researchers” over the next two years. The money, she said, will support “the best and the brightest” from around the world. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/w...

The administration just hasn’t been able to find those thousands of criminal aliens they claimed were rampaging throughout the nation. Like so many other themes Trump campaigned on, the plague of immigrant crime was a fiction. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-immi...

I wonder if Trump will call this judge (whom he appointed) a "lunatic." In any case, this is surely headed to SCOTUS. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

More on the Trump administration's forced disappearances. Apparently even Salvadoran Bukele had concerns about the process whereby Venezuelan migrants were declared gang members. (This is a gift link that anyone can access, please share). www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
