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…

Demands answers by Halloween seems very appropriate for this deal.

Tim Miller is on the Charlie Kirk Show and it's not going well for the hosts 👇
HOST: Nobody wanted Renee Good to die more than the left. I think that's very obvious
MILLER: That's an insane thing to say. That's really offensive actually
HOST: They actively get in the face of ICE
MILLER: And the punishment for that should be summary execution?

🚨 FT: Residents of occupied Oleshky seeking evacuation would be taken to Crimea or Russia instead of Ukrainian-controlled territory just across the Dnipro River.
This is a terrifying warning sign. Russia is preparing to turn an evacuation into a deportation operation. It will exploit people’s desperation for a propaganda stunt, put them through filtration camps, and forcibly keep them under Russian occupation, where they would remain in grave danger.

I agree. To return to the negotiating table as a participant rather than an appetiser, Europe must escalate: create a problem whose resolution requires its involvement.
The obvious starting point is to confiscate Russia’s financial assets frozen in Europe and use them to support Ukraine’s defence of the inviolability of Europe’s borders. Europe would then hold a decisive stake in any financial settlement - and a seat that Washington and Moscow could no longer simply arrange between themselves.
In light of Norway’s 🇳🇴 and Finland’s 🇫🇮 peace efforts, it is important to stress that Europe 🇪🇺 faces a momentous choice: either to accept Russia’s agenda and acquiesce in a new reality imposed by force, or to act, in both word and deed, in pursuit of a just and lasting peace that ultimately secures a free, united Europe with real geopolitical clout.

NEW: We got the list of “Business Deals” the US and Russia are discussing.
They include a potential return by US companies to the Russian oil market as part of wider talks to end Putin’s war, including JVs in Sakhalin and restoring the Druzhba pipeline:

Donald Trump thinks Delcy Rodríguez, the unelected interim president, is “terrific”. But he has long appeared ambivalent towards María Corina Machado, who is far more popular among Venezuelans economist.com/the-americas/2…

9th Circuit rules Trump illegally federalized National Guard in LA last year. Decision has little immediate effect, but sets potentially important precedent on judicial review of executive invocation of emergency powers for domestic use of military, and on the meaning of “rebellion.”

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

People are chanting 'freedom!'
