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 https://t.co/1zwfCO7dHP

“A wave of Ukrainian attacks has pushed Russian refining runs to the lowest in more than 21 years, deepening a domestic fuel crunch and further squeezing the global market.

Crude-processing rates have averaged 3.91 million barrels a day so far this month, the lowest level since March 2005, according to figures compiled by EA Analytics. That’s more than 1.4 million barrels a day below the year-ago average, the data show.

The drop in production has prompted a ban on most diesel exports to the end of July, in addition to restrictions on gasoline and jet fuel shipments introduced earlier. The loss of diesel from a key global supplier has driven prices to multiyear highs, with the market already tightened by disruptions to Middle East flows.”

Another driver killed, this time in Maine. ICE "targeted enforcement" operations are more focused on arresting suspects in cars, yet ERO officers lack a vehicle pursuit policy with clear use of force guidelines. And ICE officials acknowledge they're not getting enough training.

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

I heard the White House waivers are more than what Congress wanted, and enforcement is everything. But… this will be welcomed in Kyiv. Not so much in Moscow.

The America’s Children Act ensures that young people raised in this country can continue to pursue their dreams without fear of losing their legal status.

Legal immigrants should not be punished by a backlogged immigration system.

By offering a commonsense solution, this bill reflects the values of hard work, family, and opportunity that Hispanic communities hold dear.

A White House report defended the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act against charges supporters were hostile to Chinese immigrants on racial grounds. The Act’s chief advocate said, “The Chinaman is the result of training in the art of the low life.” @David_J_Bier https://t.co/W6kj3fW091

How Ukraine uses scarce war resources effectively: 'The solution was a market and "currency" for units to buy equipment and supplies. Brigade-level units purchase drones directly from the manufacturers using the "Brave" marketplace. The currency in the marketplace is points that units earn from video-confirmed kills of Russians. Drones flow to the most effective units, those units work closely with the manufacturers, and they can choose from a range of options depending on their current mission and Russian tactics.' https://t.co/tFMEaAmRpT

"Documented Dreamers" arrived in America lawfully as children. A hole in the law leaves them vulnerable to expulsion.

She did everything right, grew up here since 4-months-old, never committed a crime, followed the law, her parents followed the law, valedictorian, got a STEM degree, her family is here, her siblings are US citizens, and our government KICKED HER OUT. This is the system

After two dozen govt equity stakes and numerous other Trump admin interventions, Wall Street investors are trading on political connections and favors, not market fundamentals.

What could go wrong?

Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have set off a fuel crisis so severe that drivers are now smuggling gasoline out of Kazakhstan, which has set up dozens of police checkpoints along its border & is inspecting cars for hidden auxiliary gas tanks. https://t.co/8OKVD8RRMi

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

As new Ukrainian drones now reach Siberia, Kyiv has many more Russian targets to hit — and Russia must stretch already scarce air defenses to cover a much larger territory. My analysis after the strike on Russia’s largest refinery, in Omsk. https://t.co/tLd8m212aQ

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

A new proposal would tie every federal research grant to the president's priorities, concentrating control of American science in the White House. It’s a bad policy that politicizes science rather than ending it, warns Cato’s @walterolson.

This story is one of the most outrageous examples of an ICE lie that I've seen. Two ICE officers got this man charged with attempted murder, and it was only thanks to bystander video that their lies were exposed in court and they had to drop the charges.

Adam Thierer had written the landmark book on "Permissionless Innovation." We get the best ideas when we don't have to ask the government in advance for permission to invent. Protecting open source AI is now a critical part of ensuring this.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

NEW from @GregTSargent: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Hector Araujo from speaking out.

All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported immediately.
