Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names.

None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After

Timothy Snyder (who has been consistently amazing throughout this crisis!) has written a very important article preparing people’s minds for what I fear is near-inevitable: a US equivalent to the Reichstag fire.

Fact-check of Trump’s tariff speech finds some doozies. Why tariffs? Speech suggests they could replace income tax, benefiting wealthy over lower income Americans. When a choice makes no apparent sense, it’s usually about $$$.

An incredible conversation with @jeffiel.bsky.social & @karaswisher.bsky.social today, and dinner with founders from #AnnArbor to #Detroit tonight! Great to have Jeff back in Mich-again!!! ❤️

Some data worth pondering as the conversation shifts to "reciprocal" tariffs.

Density is Fun: Why Ann Arbor’s Future Depends on a Good Plan Ann Arbor’s future depends on smart growth. It’s time to build more homes of all kinds—and shape a city that welcomes more neighbors.

Ann Arbor was meant to grow. We just didn’t follow through. In the 1970s, city planners envisioned 150K residents in a compact, connected city. Instead, we built zoning walls around downtown and called it progress. Part 4 of my “Density is Fun” series. #a2council

In 1967, “The Innovation Millionaires” called out Ann Arbor, Boulder, LA, Phoenix, and Ft. Lauderdale as likely tech hubs after Boston-Cambridge & Santa Clara County (only one mention of “Silicon Valley”) - but A2 has been by far the laggard
