Harvard and University of Toronto make contingency plan for international students Harvard University and the University of Toronto have unveiled a contingency plan that would allow select Harvard graduate students to continue their studies in Canada if U.S. visa restrictions prevent them from re-entering the United States.

This makes me very happy. America's loss of brilliant and talented students is Canadian's gain.

Sounds like a plan. You going to the reunion

If it has spots it is still a juvenile. I'm learning a lot in my new hillbilly life.

Even worse that's a baby deer.

Had a great time in Chicago.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.

I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Yup, it was Edwards. He is not the worst, but differently drinking the Kool-Aid. Happy Birthday to you, next week I think and to sweet Olive.

Our rep showed up this week for his town hall. I don't agree with his politics but it took courage. He had it at a large venue that seats about 400 people, lots of security, and people protesting outside. I think he got the message that most of his constituents are not pleased.

How Did We Reach the Point Where We Have Less Time for Almost Everything? The moment we sense even a hint of boredom, we instinctively seek to fill the void with something—and in doing so, we paradoxically make ourselves too busy and find ourselves with less time.

Our rep didn't even show up, and we are dealing with recovery from Helene.
