Congratulations 🏆🏆🏆

Our Constitution gives co-equal power to the Judiciary and Executive branches.

Those who seek to overthrow our Constitution, and rule by violent threat, are the enemies of every American, Conservative and Liberal.

Destroying private companies, simply because they will not take orders from the President, is the stuff of cheap dictatorships.

Authoritarian rule harms all Americans. Conservative and Liberal. No ‘side’ wins.

Threatening our European allies with military invasion—again—poisons the trust and admiration that Americans built around the world, over generations.

The partnerships some of our ancestors fought and died for.

Reckless vandalism, the opposite of Conservative, harms Americans on the Right & Left.

I deeply appreciate the Republican public servants who, in this time of crisis, are standing up to exert Congress's constitutional power as a check+balance on the executive.

No Business Immigration Lawsuits Filed Against DHS H-1B Lottery Rule No company or business organization has filed a lawsuit against the DHS H-1B lottery rule, even though the rule may be unlawful.

Although many attorneys believe the DHS H-1B lottery rule is unlawful, no company or business group filed a lawsuit against it. Likely reasons: Fear of retaliation & saving resources to battle other restrictive H-1B/student rules. @mclem.org @douglasrivlin.bsky.social

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Global Skill Partnerships -- grounded in and born of @mclem.org research -- is Nobel prize winning material.

Our Congress has the sole power to enter into warfare, whose horrific consequences are always beyond the imagination of any small group of men.

The suspension of our Constitution under an authoritarian regime is an emergency that will harm all of us.

Every Conservative and Liberal American.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

Our Constitution reserves the power to run elections to the states.

Precisely to prevent a national tyrant from seizing our democracy by its aorta.

The President is totally impotent to alter how our elections are run. Suspending our Constitution will harm all of us, on Right & Left.

This week's cover @thelancet.com

The Framers of the US Constitution created two co-equal branches of government with powers equal to the Executive’s.

One of those branches has taken a clear interest in rising to that sacred duty, which is necessary to defend all Conservative and all Liberal Americans.

The United States is at the same level of press freedom as Hungary's Orbán regime on this map.

It declines precipitously in 2025.

I'm very sorry for your terrible loss.

Easily one of the top charts of all time

That's very kind, Prachi, thank you. It will get even more exciting as the world sees who's coming: absolutely top researchers highly engaged on the most important policy topics of our time. Watch this space!

Open this photo up and look for the small, white dot just left of centre.

It looks like Venus, shining brightly in the twilight sky.

But it's us.

It's Earth.

From Mars.

Thank you so much Daniela 📈

A new perch from which I’ll keep learning from you
