This afternoon, I had the honor of swearing in Bijan Sabet as our Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Ambassador Sabet will play a critical role in strengthening our friendship with the Czech people and our partnership with this important NATO Ally.

So very sad @om passed away yesterday. Grateful to call him a friend for over 20 years and will miss him dearly. Love you, Om.

REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”

Most VCs wouldn’t touch Anthropic in 2023.

Yasmin Razavi did.

The Spark Capital partner led a $450M round when Anthropic had no public product, no revenue and a massive capital need. Now the AI giant’s rise has landed her on the Forbes Midas List for the first time. https://t.co/9rxuS91mb8 (Photo: Guerin Blask For Forbes) #ForbesMidas

Let me get this straight. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion. His own Justice Department is now considering settling that case. And one of the terms on the table is that the IRS drops all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses PERMANENTLY.

He’s using the full weight of the federal government to protect himself and his family from accountability and potentially pay himself BILLIONS of your tax dollars.

“Treating Black civil-rights history, Jewish testimony about the Holocaust, the oft-forgotten Asian American experience, the shameful treatment of the children of Native tribes, or the mere mention of a woman as a marker of lack of merit or wastefulness is not lawful,” - Judge McMahon

Elon Musk’s DOGE “blatantly used” race, gender and other protected characteristics to execute the largest mass termination of federal grants in the history of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal judge ruled on Thursday. https://t.co/hwzwfkkLBS

@andrewparker So grateful you did

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

[Bridget Brink @AmbBridgetBrink]

I resigned as U.S. Ambassador Ukraine when Trump kept siding with Putin over our democratic partner. Now, my successor is doing the same.

I knew I had to speak out and run for office because siding with dictators is just not who we are.

@RonConway Sending much love and strength to you and your family

Huge congratulations to a Hungarian opposition that never surrendered to cynicism, apathy or intimidation. You inspire us all.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Trump has insulted and tariffed his European allies, persuaded Denmark to prepare for a US invasion and, by pressuring Ukraine and not Russia, encouraged Putin to keep fighting. All of which he has forgotten.

"I've never seen an American president, not just in our lifetime, in the last two centuries of American history, be that critical of a British prime minister." @RNicholasBurns tells me "a fundamental mistake is: disparage your allies, make life difficult for them at home, you really can't expect them to be with you in a fight that they didn't start

[Bijan Sabet @bijan]

@ianbremmer And allies matched our military spend in Ukraine with deep cooperation

[Ian Willoughby @Ian_Willoughby]

YES! Amazing success for this Danish-Czech production, and incredible validation for brave Pavel Talankin, who secretly documented Putin’s war propaganda and gave up his home & entire previous life when he fled from Russia with footage that could have got him long jail time. 👏👏
