Looking forward to the apology from anyone who voted for Donald Trump because they thought Hillary and Kamala were too emotional to be president.

In 2023, four of the seven US-based Nobel laureates were immigrants. That’s a wonderful thing for Americans. It has nothing to do with saying that Americans aren’t good at stuff. It means that America is a place where the best Americans and best immigrants work together to do great things.

Thank you to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for just telling the truth about #ElonMusk. The rest of the media should hang their heads in shame with the fawning, irrelevant pieces they ran yesterday. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

📌Just a reminder that Kamala Harris absolutely eviscerated the America-attacking Trump in that debate, and that if you voted for him your head and heart are irreparably broken.

This blog captures my frustration with AI tools for work. Microsoft and Google are pushing tools to help you write email or documents but what I need is a help reading and combining information across documents, email, source code and chat. That would be really useful. Not CoPilot for email.

Trump’s 100 day job approval polling is worse than any other president in the last 50 years by a minimum -10. It’s incredible that Republicans and business leaders continue to fall all over themselves to appease such a historically incompetent and epically unpopular leader.

I’m actually from a tiny (<2000) town in semi-rural PA where the biggest employer when I was growing up was the state prison. So I can speak to this one with a lot more authority than this author. It’s got almost zero to do with abstractions like their “ way of life”. I can tell you what they say…

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect. I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Canadians booking trips to the U.S. has dropped by over 70% according to OAG. This is a COVID-level drop in travel which will have downstream economic impact on hotels, restaurants and more in the coming months. I still think the market hasn’t priced in how disastrous things are going to get.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Agreed. The law is not just for people we like and agree with. It is also for people whose views or lifestyles we despise. Because no matter who you are, someone despises you the same way - and the law must be there to protect you.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
