Also I wish the press would stop referring to these arrangements as ‘deals’. Trump has never made a genuine (mutually desired, mutually beneficial) deal in his life. What he does is extract concessions at moments of vulnerability.

I love the noise Canada Geese make as they fly overhead and their instinctive communal sense of aesthetic organisation, plus the way that not one of them will ever barge in on social media with their opinion on a piece of writing without clicking on the link to find out what the piece actually says.

There is a case to be made that any board of a university that signed an agreement that required paying a fee has breached their fiduciary duty and I think somebody should explore it
The Trump administration is no longer trying to get cash from Harvard as it seeks a settlement. At this point, the White House seems happy to get a signature on anything they can call a compact.

"A blank check to Palantir" is not just a figure of speech either
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Not ICE, but CBP.
ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do.
One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.

Hi
I'm planning on coming.
The problem is that I was just asked to make a presentation, telephonically or by video

Would it be appropriate/possible to come by at 6:45 and stay an hour -- or would that be
