A US judge ordered that Palestinian Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil not be deported for now as part of US President Donald Trump's crackdown on some anti-Israel protesters, and set a court hearing in the case for Wednesday reut.rs/43HIJD4
Judge temporarily blocks deportation of arrested Palestinian Columbia student
The Trump administration has not said Khalil is accused of or charged with a crime, but Trump wrote that his presence in the U.S. was "contrary to national and foreign policy interests."

Look, objectively-speaking and by any measurement decent people use, Donald Trump is a vile piece of garbage. Anyone trying to pretend he isn't, isn't worth your time, attention, or relational proximity.

This never happened, but whoever made this video channeled millions of us watching yesterday's disgraceful display in the People’s House.

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

Dear President Zelensky,
As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.
I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

I haven’t given up on America yet.
I know there are tens of millions of sane, good Americans.
But like the Ukrainians and the Georgian people, Americans must now fight for their rights and freedoms—things they have long taken for granted.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
