Thrilled to have my latest war game featured as part of this Atlantic article.

Having been a huge fan of Madeline Brand and KCRW Press Play for years, it was a thrill and honor to be on her show yesterday (solemn topic notwithstanding) and discuss the very important issue of Iranian domestic politics following the events of last week. kcrw.com/news/shows/pre…

How would you stop a Civil War? In acclaimed filmmakers Jesse Moss & Tony Gerber’s #WarGameFilm featuring our work, senior government officials game out a response to an all-too-real threat to the country. In select theaters August 2.

Picturing a possible “Godfather scenario”: Biden steps down as POTUS and becomes Harris’ VP/consigliere, instead (Michael Corleone: “Who better than my father…”).

It was an amazing experience to join Steven Bartlett for his latest episode of The Diary of a CEO. Thanks for having me on! youtube.com/watch?v=8qObdS…

With SCOTUS’s decision today re: efforts by the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the Dept of Ed, the march towards consolidation of executive authority — at expense of other two branches — continues. Separation of Powers in name only?

The longer the "Epstein files" drama is allowed to play out, the worse the Trump Administration looks. It's too late to get in front of the story, PR-wise, but the fallout can still be contained ... if anyone cares to do so. drive.google.com/file/d/1kbt-fT…

This isn't America First, it's America ONLY. Just saying. U.S. Says It Will Withdraw From U.N. Cultural Organization, Again nytimes.com/2025/07/22/wor…

Re: the humanitarian disaster in Gaza … Hamas is to **BLAME** for the overall political, economic, and human misery of the Palestinians living there. But Israel is **RESPONSIBLE** for what is happening right now, and since its invasion and re-occupation of the enclave.

So Jake Tapper 🦅 opened up his show today with his best Kent Brockman moment. 🐜 Spontaneous Simpsons references will never disappoint.

Long overdue, but welcomed nonetheless. It's about time for the Lebanese to assert their sovereignty and independence -- from both imperial (historical) and ideological (modern) colonialism.
