Immigrants have founded or cofounded 59% of America’s privately held startup companies valued at $1 billion or more. The collective value of the 455 immigrant-founded billion-dollar companies is $5.0 trillion. @David_J_Bier @gsiskind @nickgillespie forbes.com/sites/stuartander…

The White House is rolling back some tariffs on imports from Canada -- and hiking tariffs on other products -- ostensibly to help Republican candidates in key races.
But this doesn't make much sense. It's really just an admission that the tariffs are so politically toxic.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.”
ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell is threatening to block Trump’s legislative agenda unless he stops bending the knee to Putin.
“Passing this agenda will require working with Republicans who know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Ending the obeisance to Mr. Putin may be table stakes for the end-of-year legislation. The president should plan accordingly,” McConnell wrote in The Wall Street Journal.”

Trump says he doesn’t want immigrants from Norway because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize.
“Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country.”

Le Pen is not Meloni. France is not Italy
Those drawing simplistic parallels risk underestimating how disruptive a Le Pen presidency would be — for France, the EU, and wider geopolitics

New ad from Democrats' House Majority PAC hitting Republican Eric Flores in #TX34:
"When one of our own like Eric Flores sells out, supporting ICE raids that separate families ... well, that pisses us off. Eric Flores forgot who he is and where he comes from. We don't forget."

Within five days of being deported from the U.S., Moussa Diawara says Ghanaian officials forced him onto a flight to Mali, the very country a U.S. immigration judge ruled he could not be deported to. Diawara says he was homeless and went into hiding.

Peace through strength is more than a principle. It is a responsibility—and one that demands action.
The Treasury Department’s decision to allow Russian diesel imports undermines the bipartisan law Congress enacted in 2022 to cut off funding for Putin’s war machine.
Today, alongside @RepDonBacon and @RepMGP, I introduced the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act to nullify that waiver, enforce the existing ban, and safeguard critical U.S. intelligence support for Ukraine.
Not a single drop of Russian oil should enter the United States while Putin continues his brutal war against Ukraine. We cannot stand with Ukraine while opening our markets to the energy revenues fueling Russia’s aggression.
Our message must be unmistakable: America stands with Ukraine. Our laws must be upheld. And aggression must carry a cost greater than its reward.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE

ICE violently detain man legally in U.S.—refuse to look at his papers.
"I got papers right here!" man pleads.
Slam him against wooden fence as he screams in pain.
Agent tells man filming free to leave—because he's white.
"He said because I'm white he's not going to arrest me" man holding camera says.
"Just for the color of my skin... even though I'm Mexican, too."
Agents claim they tackled the man because he started running—with no other probable cause.
Incident occurred in Chicago, Illinois.
Ricardo Salvador Miranda doesn’t have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

More evidence for "the tariffs are politically toxic"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just such a fun chart here from @greg_ip. If only we could tease out some meaning. Ah, well, nevertheless. 🤣

The shifting explanations from Musk and the administration sound like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” Except the consequences for Ukrainian civilians are deadly.
Musk says he didn’t do it. The administration says it didn’t either. Yet someone in the administration reportedly told Musk to undo it, and Ukraine reports only partial restoration.
Are we supposed to believe Hegseth and the Pentagon don’t know the status of a capability critical to U.S., Ukrainian and allied security?
Whoever is handing Putin the gift of a more vulnerable Ukraine should at least have the guts to put their name on it. Hiding behind denials while innocent people pay the price is cowardice.
Meanwhile, Putin keeps murdering civilians and trying to starve and freeze Ukraine into submission. Americans deserve answers. Ukrainians deserve the means to defend themselves.
