Maybe the best thing I’ve ever baked: a bourbon cheesecake with a bourbon/brown sugar/ pecan topping. I fat-washed the bourbon with browned butter. 🤌

Much of the focus on today's events will probably be the large rallies in big cities
But make no mistake
It is the smaller rallies
The local rallies
That will be the backbone of this movement

Mahmoud Khalil's new op-ed from detention—
"Faced with a movement for divestment they couldn't crush, your trustees opted to set fire to the institution they're entrusted with…History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence."

![Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein was just bustin’ with pride over his March 28 story: “New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants [on] social media,” he posted on Bluesky and X. He got the buzz that he wanted with thousands of reposts, and presumably a traffic boost to his $100-a-year site.
If you had a sense of déjà lu, it’s probably because you’d already read this piece, titled “State Dept. demands ‘enhanced’ social media vetting of student visa applicants,” by Marisa Kabas, another independent journalist. Her story ran a full two days before Klippenstein’s. (And Kabas’s version was more authoritative and better-written.)
I reached out to Klippenstein via email, Signal, and social media, but he didn’t respond. Maybe at some point he will (leak his response to me).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreic2rysbe455afrbwslsw2n2bpzv6u4cxc4cqs5v4afl6vfo6w5d5i@jpeg)

Eric Adams got his corruption charges dropped. All it took was selling out New Yorkers to Donald Trump.
We’re all tired of this spineless, failed mayor, but remember: Andrew Cuomo is running for Adams' 2nd term.
Same donors. Same chaos. Just a new Trump ally in Gracie Mansion.

Incredible stuff as always from Steven and just highlights how insanely well a team needs to play to beat the Houston Cougars.
Gonzaga-Houston Thread (1/however many it takes)
Context: Coming into the game, J'Wan Roberts was coming off injury and hadn't made 5+ FG in over a month, a 10-game stretch where he shot sub 40% from the field.
Joseph Tugler averaged 2 made FG over the last 15 games and made 5+ once in his career

Bunch shows how it is done.
The way he points out what the EO *legally* does (directs the VP, acting as just one of many regents) vs what it claims to do (“change the Smithsonian!”—something POTUS can’t do) is fantastic.
We need more of this, less ppl taking EOs as law.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.
On a 2023 earnings call, Elon Musk boasted that Tesla had bagged “over 1 million” Cybertruck reservations and that “demand is off the charts.”
So why has the company still sold less than 50,000 trucks since customer deliveries began 14 months ago?
