BREAKING: James Talarico just released an incredible video reminding every American what hope feels like. This is the best political ad we've seen in a long time.

The Metropolitan Opera in New York asked its audience to stand in solidarity with Ukraine as the orchestra played the Ukrainian national anthem.
Hundreds rose together, and one voice in the crowd began singing along.
Some emerging market nations benefit from home-grown AI entrepreneurship, even as they face risks of international dependency for AI inputs. What to do? Check out this new paper on managed interdependency from Doug Lippoldt, Senior Fellow at CIGI:

Given the decline in quality of most US media coverage of domestic developments, I have come to rely on the foreign press. Now, US imposes sweeping visa restrictions on foreign journalists, hindering global coverage of American affairs rsf.org/s/96097 Argh!!

I just conducted an unprompted, late night oversight visit at an ICE holding facility at the Mesa Gateway Airport with @RepGregStanton and @Rep_Grijalva. What we saw was shocking and sick.
Well over 240 detainees stacked like sardines in cells. People were sick and ICE was refusing medical care.
Here’s what happened.

Rahman: On January 13th, on the way to my 39th appointment at the traumatic brain injury center, I encountered a traffic jam caused by ICE vehicles and no signs indicating how to get around it. I had not wanted to pull into a block to chaotic intersection but verbally agreed to do so and rolled down my window after an agent yelled, "Move, I will break your f'ing window."
There were conflicting threats and instructions that I could not process while watching for pedestrians. Then the glass of the passenger side window flew across my face. I yelled, "I am disabled!," at the hands grabbing at me and the agent said, "Too late."
An agent pulled a large combat knife in front of my face. Which I thought was for cutting me. And later learned was used to cut off my seatbelt. Shooting pain went through my head, neck and wrists when I hit the ground face first and people leaned on my back.
I was carried facedown through the street by my cuffed arms and legs while yelling that I had a brain injury and was disabled.

Here we go 👉
I threw the sandwich, but I did not throw the condiments
I threw the sandwich, but I didn't throw the condiments
All around Washington D.C.
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the spilling of some mayonnaise
For wasting all the dijon, but I say
I threw the sandwich, but I swear it had bad provolone
I threw the sandwich, and they say it is a capicola offense
Judge Pirro always hated me
Because she thought I stole her wine
Every time I poured a glass
She said, give me that, it's mine
She said, all of that wine is mine
And I say
I threw the sandwich, but I did not throw the condiments, oh no
I threw the sandwich, but I didn't throw the condiments, oh no

It turns out that firing half of Northern Virginia for no reason might not be super popular in Northern Virginia.

Si vous êtes intéressé par l'histoire européenne du 20ᵉ siècle, je vous conseille de lire le livre « La bibliothèque retrouvée » par Vanessa de Senarclens. L'auteure décrit l'histoire d'une biblio d'importance en Poméranie qui est en jeu juste au moment où le régime nazi tombe..
.. et l'armée soviétique avance.
