Florida is about to run a real-time experiment by kicking out immigrant workers. Spoiler: everyone loses.
Kick them out and you don't just lose labor, you lose the people buying stuff that keeps other people employed.

Meet Ken Shimizu, 35 years old, father of two, who doesn’t exercise, sleeps 10 hours a day, eats whatever he wants, and drinks beer instead of water.
He has no secret at all. Shimizu is the relaxed guy sitting in the bottom left corner of the photo.
As for the one hogging the camera in the middle, it is not known who he is.
I always think of the part in Bill Burr’s legendary Philly Rant where he told the crowd that the city built a statue of a fictional Rocky because they couldn’t tolerate Joe Frazier because he was Black.
Burr is one of my favorite comedians and always tells it like it is. 😂
We really lived long enough to see @KingJames become the old man version of himself in this iconic 20-year-old @Nike ad campaign.
And somehow he's STILL playing basketball at an insanely high level. 🐐
The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening!
Tune in today on https://t.co/GYkEOK8EuT starting at 11am CT as Michelle and I share what this moment means to us and celebrate with friends, family, and members of the community in Chicago.
The shape of the Obama Museum tower is inspired by 4 hands coming together to hold something sacred inside. The tower is also dynamic and changes with the weather. This is a great watch if you'd like to know more about the thought process behind the design. 🩷
Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court.
In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible.
We won. 6-3.
But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow.
I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves.
I also had four teachers preparing me.
A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi.
An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else.
A meditation coach who taught me stillness.
And Harvey.
Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked — sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable.
Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person.
Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written.
Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened — and what I learned standing at that podium.
AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument.
Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry — and answer the worry.
That is the irreducibly human skill.
Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives.
The talk goes live Thursday, May 7 at 11am ET: https://t.co/wLxKtBsHpF
What's the irreducibly human skill in your work — the thing AI can't touch?
BREAKING: Trump’s birthright citizenship scheme implodes after lawyer’s JAW-DROPPING courtroom blunder about Native Americans.
Donald Trump sent his top lawyer to the Supreme Court to argue that birthright citizenship should be stripped from hundreds of thousands of American-born babies. It went so badly that his own solicitor general nearly argued Native Americans aren't citizens either — and had to be rescued by a Trump-appointed justice.
In one of the most jaw-dropping exchanges of Wednesday's already disastrous hearing, Justice Neil Gorsuch — appointed by Trump himself — pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the logical consequences of the administration's own legal theory. The exchange was as stunning as it was revealing.
Gorsuch asked a simple question: under the administration's proposed test for birthright citizenship, are Native Americans born today automatically citizens?
Sauer's answer was a slow-motion legal train wreck. First, he said yes — obviously. Then Gorsuch pushed him to set aside the statutes granting Native Americans citizenship and answer based purely on the administration's own constitutional theory. Sauer's answer changed: "No." Under the 1868 congressional debates, he explained, children of tribal Indians were not considered birthright citizens.
The courtroom went quiet.
Gorsuch pressed harder. But under your test — the domicile test you want this court to adopt today — are tribal Native Americans born on U.S. soil birthright citizens?
Sauer fumbled. "I think so... I have to think that through, but that's my reaction."
"I'll take the yes," Gorsuch replied — essentially throwing the solicitor general a life preserver before he could drown any further.
Let's be absolutely clear about what just happened. The Trump administration walked into the highest court in the land with a legal theory so sweeping, so poorly thought through, that when a justice applied it logically, the government's own lawyer couldn't guarantee that Native Americans — people whose nations existed on this continent thousands of years before the United States did — would qualify as birthright citizens.
This is the constitutional chaos that Trump's executive order invites. Once you start unraveling the 14th Amendment's guarantee that all persons born on American soil are citizens, there is no clean stopping point. The administration's own lawyer proved that in real time, in front of the entire nation, while Trump was still in the building — before he turned tail and fled.
The 14th Amendment was written to be clear precisely because America had already lived through the horror of deciding that some people born here weren't really citizens. The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for 157 years.
And Trump's lawyer just demonstrated, in spectacular fashion, exactly why those 157 years of precedent exist.
Please like and share this post if you believe the Constitution means what it says — for everyone born on American soil.
If you're a busy professional carrying 20+ pounds of belly fat, here's the exact system I'd use to lose it in 90 days:
NUTRITION:
• Zero alcohol until the belly is gone
• 1g protein per lb of current weight
• 500 calorie deficit 6 days/week, maintenance on day 7
• No food after 7pm (digestion wrecks your sleep quality)
• Half your bodyweight in oz of water daily (200lbs = 100oz)
TRAINING:
• 3 lifting sessions per week (Upper/Lower or Full Body Split)
• Take every set within 1-2 reps of failure
• Track your lifts and beat last week's numbers
• 2x 30-minute Zone 2 cardio sessions (assault bike or incline walk)
• 8,000 steps daily (get a walking pad for your desk)
RECOVERY:
• 7+ hours sleep minimum (same bedtime every night)
• 400mg magnesium glycinate before bed
• 30 minutes direct sunlight each morning
• Cold, pitch-black room for sleep
• 5g creatine daily
HELPFUL TIPS:
Make it as easy as possible initially. Keep your meals simple:
Meal 1: Greek yogurt + protein shake
Meal 2: 8oz chicken/beef + 1 cup rice + veggies
Meal 3: 8oz steak/salmon + potatoes + asparagus
If you're snacking, make sure you're getting protein in:
• Oikos Pro yogurt (20g)
• Good Culture cottage cheese (19g)
• Safe Catch tuna (40g)
• Premier protein shake (30g)
This isn't complicated. It's just consistent execution of boring fundamentals.
Save this. Reference it daily. Execute relentlessly.
90 days from now you can be down 20+ pounds.
