In 1950, a newly independent India was running low on food. India requested the US for help.
It wasn't provided immediately. After much debate in the US congress on why they should help India, Truman signed the India food relief act to provide India with $190 million of assistance to help it buy US wheat.
But that US wheat came with a weed. The weed known as Parthenium or also called "Congress grass." This weed destroyed any plant around it. Till today, India has not been able to get rid of this weed.
Some 35 million hectares of arable Indian farmland has been laid waste by this weed. Including, and as far as, Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
This weed is one of the biggest causes of losses for Indian agriculture and productivity. American experts still say it came into India "accidentally."
So Trump's "deal" with Russia is to:
-pay Russia to import diesel (which won't lower energy costs)
-so that they can take the money and bomb Ukraine
-and use it to help Iran bomb Americans and our allies
Why are we here? Because House Republicans refused to let us vote on a stronger sanctions bill. Instead, they passed an optional one, and this is the result.
We need new leadership in Congress FAST.
"If you’re uncomfortable around Indians, no law will force you to invite them to your house....Indians ask nothing from you but to be able to work, innovate, and contribute to the economy."
There's never been a better group of immigrants in human history. That's why this drives me so crazy. https://t.co/S1VSXgsiTT
Statement on Trump Suspending Microsoft from the PERM Program:
This is a crucial issue for me as the top Democrat on the Immigration Subcommittee, the only member of Congress to have actually had an H-1B visa, and the Representative for tens of thousands of Microsoft workers. The administration has been consistently working to take away legal pathways for immigrants to contribute their talents to our country, and this is yet another of those attacks.
The PERM program is the first step toward an employment-based green card for countless workers who want to contribute to this country, and it lays out a clear process with steps to ensure that this is a net benefit to our economy and does not harm American jobs. Our economy, our communities, and our families depend on immigrants in many sectors, including the tech sector, and heavy-handed attacks like this only hurt efforts to build a strong, stable, and diverse base of workers who have legal pathways to come and be in the United States while also protecting U.S. workers from unscrupulous employers.
You don’t fix a broken immigration system by taking a hammer to legal immigration. Microsoft has been a leader in advocating for comprehensive immigration reforms that modernize an antiquated immigration system and provide more — not fewer — legal pathways for immigrants from all over the world to work here and be with their families. Targeting Microsoft or the PERM program in this way simply undermines legal immigration and weakens America’s ability to innovate.
The $67 billion Dominion-NextEra Merger could raise costs for Virginians and reduce competition in the power market. I have voiced my concerns, and you can make your own voice heard too.
There’s an upcoming public comment hearing this Friday at 6 p.m. at the Fairfax County Government Center.

We're hiring at @AnthropicAI to work on what software engineering is becoming.
If you build infra, dev tools, or agents, let's talk.
Text me if you have my number, because that's the fastest way to reach me. Otherwise my DMs are open.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
India’s exemplary GDP growth of 7.8% during Q1 of FY 2026-27 is a herculean feat.
The collective strength of our people ensured India delivered such growth despite oil price shocks and supply chain issues in the midst of global uncertainties.
Doomsayers were doomed and India bloomed…yet again!

Unitree shares have risen over 620% in its debut.
That's the humanoid category getting its first real public benchmark, and the market just told you what it's willing to pay.
Two ways to play it from here.
$INDI is the supplier. Confirmed design wins at Unitree, sole sourced per management, plus content at Agibot and Figure AI. As far as anyone can find, it's the only US-listed Western semiconductor supplier with disclosed content inside Unitree.
Management puts it around $100 of content per robot across vision and radar. It trades at a $900 million market cap while the customer it ships into priced at $9 billion and just opened at seven times that.
$CCXI is the pure play. Churchill Capital XI is the vehicle merging with Agility Robotics at a $2.5 billion pre money valuation, converting to $AGLT once it closes. That makes Agility the only US-listed pure-play humanoid company.
Agility has Digit deployed at Amazon, GXO, Toyota, and Schaeffler. Over $300 million in binding multi-year orders for Digit v5. Foxconn led the PIPE with Nvidia, SoftBank, and Sony on the cap table.
Unitree just set the number the market is willing to pay for a humanoid company. Agility is the American equivalent at a fraction of it.
The supplier and the pure play. Both priced against a benchmark that didn't exist yesterday.
