Making it hard for foreign students to attend American universities is the single dumbest thing the US government can do. It simultaneously makes America weaker, other countries stronger, and the world as a whole less prosperous. Lose-lose-lose. Hope they change their policy.

brings light into the darkness.
For 498 days, Sagui Dekel-Chen sang only in his head - it helped him survive Hamas hell. Finally free, he sang Sunbeam (קרן שמש) with The Tamari Project, a musical ensemble dedicated to bringing the hostages home, with his wife, Mili, and their three daughters by his side.

Jewish comics banned from performing. Synagogues firebombed. What is happening to my hometown? This hate cannot be tolerated. @KenSimCity @Dave_Eby

just a wonderful, humane anguished response from my wise friend @faniaoz – at Brent, London
In one world, there are morally lost people like Judith Butler. But in another world, fortunately, there are women like @faniaoz Wise, clear and touching. Clear words, humane and intelligent.

I just got out of a meeting with President Biden. He invited a dozen Israelis who had been impacted by the war in the most personal way, to see him. I will write more tonight, but for now what I can say is: President Biden loves Israel, loves the Israeli people, and has our back.

Finally, none of this would have been possible had my parents not made countless sacrifices as we immigrated from India to Libya and then to Canada – all so that one day my brother and I might have a chance to pursue our dreams.

Over the next couple of years, payment diversity will be essential for every merchant. Was fun to talk with @CarolineHydeTV @EdLudlow on @BloombergTV about Accrue’s vision, and discuss the American consumer.
"The reality is we have a $1 trillion of credit card debt in the United States... They should be aware that there's some pain that's going on related to consumer behavior," says Accrue Savings CEO Michael Hershfield trib.al/P5PUGBY
