- 🚨A year of work, live on Amazon 🚨 I wrote this book because, viewed from Silicon Valley, it became clear China is engaged in an unprecedented technology struggle for global power that jeopardizes the political survival of democracy & the rule of law.
- My grandparents were Holocaust survivors. They had a serial number tattooed on their forearms their entire life after being liberated from Auschwitz. Kamala Harris is a disgrace for comparing @realDonaldTrump to Hitler. This rhetoric isn’t only unpresidential, it’s dangerous andAs a Jew, nothing is more offensive to me than hearing Kamala Harris compare her political opponent to Hitler simply because she disagrees with him.

- If Congress doesn’t ban or restrict TikTok, Israel is on track to completely lose its support from Dems in a few years time. Advocacy groups like @AIPAC, @jstreetdotorg, @RJC don’t yet realize this, but TikTok is an existential threat to their political relevance. These groupsDemocrats in Senate, House discuss conditioning military aid to Israel ow.ly/HNOO1052qjB
- France is re-emerging as a key US partner in Europe. In the years ahead, a tech-first rapprochement between the two nations could serve as a strategic anchor in the transatlantic alliance. @FGodement and I share our thoughts in this @ForeignPolicy piece.
- Thank you, Mr. President. I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust that you have placed in me. President Trump’s historic landslide election gave new hope and strength to the American people and was a reminder that brighter days are ahead — both at home and abroad.
