DOGE was A LOT less likely to cancel contracts from companies that donated money to Republicans than companies that donated to Democrats.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The "western tradition" of Christianity, too, plays an outsized role in the spread of cosmopolitan values and, fwiw, liberal attitudes toward refugees and immigrants.
Also, a note about cosmopolitanism. Stephen Miller hates it. But it's worth noting that it is one of the inheritances from "western civilization" that he loves to cite as under threat from immigrants. And it's far more admirable than his ethnonationalism is.

Extremely important paper predicting $240-$481 B annual GDP loss due to international student restrictions under proposed immigration policy, affecting the STEM workforce. Notably, this doesn't include other effects on STEM from research/training grant terminations, proposed indirect caps, etc.
The economic effects of international students go far beyond their tuition dollars.
Many stay, innovate, & shape the productivity of the entire economy.
My co-authors & I estimate the impact of US international student exclusion policy in this new paper commissioned by the @nationalacademies.org.
