The full debate I had this week in NYC with Alan Dershowitz - on whether the US should bomb Iran - can be seen here.

It was spirited and contentious but, I think, highly illuminating of the neocon mindset that has warped US foreign policy for so long:

The intrepid Glenn Greenwald gives the most eloquent, compelling and insightful defense of free speech I have ever heard in this podcast with Freddie Sayers, who does an excellent job interviewing Glenn. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unh…

Incredible work AIPAC.

Speaking “truth to power” can be a bit of a cliché in journalism - it’s not that valuable when (a) it aligns perfectly along partisan lines (in which case you’re really just a mouthpiece for one “side” seeking power versus the other”), and/or (b) it aligns perfectly with your

Almost every Jamelle Bouie column ignores world events in lieu of writing the same DNC press release over and over comparing Trump to every historical evil he learned about.

Imagine having a NYT column and wasting it on the most superficial, banal Trump-obsessed partisan dreck:

Apparently, relentlessly bombing a place converts the people there into far angrier militants, eager to use violence against whoever is destroying their society.

Didn't we learn this lesson before and after 9/11?

Democrats have denied the results of every national election they lost since 2000: 2000, 2004 and 2016.

You can argue they conceded, but if alleging election fraud undermines democracy, nobody has done it more.

Watch Olbermann when he was the most popular liberal TV voice:👇

By every conceivable metric, Bush, Cheney and their horde of bloodthirsty neocons did far more damage to the world and US democracy than anything Trump got close to.

Yet central to US liberalism is their view that Cheney and neocons were noble patriots and thus now key allies:

I don't think the average American has any idea what 'normal' everyday life is like for Palestinians in the West Bank (not Gaza) under Israeli military occupation. It is utterly infuriating that we fund this depraved army.

People who don't pay attention to British politics will likely be surprised at Sir Keir Starmer -- highly likely to be the next UK Prime Minister.

He's one of the emptiest, most craven, belief-free technocratic mediocrities ever seen.

Says anything from one day to the next.🇬🇧

I never watch this crap — only see excerpts on social media — but I’m on a plane channel flipping and saw the start of Andrea Mitchell’s MSNBC show.

It started with Trump trials, of course, and everyone sounds like prosecutors — zero dissent.

Who would want to be fed this???

Yes we cannot have a sitting president use the power of the DOJ and the FBI to target his political enemies. That would be dangerous and a slippery slope towards the end of Democracy.

🇺🇸 FIRST. After spending $400k+ smearing me, and watching me get 75%+ in the race tonight, they claim they weren’t playing in the race. They deserve the ratio here:

NEW — statement from the The Associated Press

No one should be entitled to any U.S. military service benefits unless they are fighting under U.S. command and control. Mr. Miller has lost sight of who he was elected to Congress to represent. #AmericaFirst
