The latest from the Lincoln Project. This is extremely powerful.

🚨BREAKING: U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California was just handcuffed and detained. His “crime”? Interrupting Kristi Noem during a press event. What country is this?

More war. More instability.

Happy birthday!

It’s quite warm and cozy today in good old Germany 😅

My statement on Donald Trump’s unilateral military action in Iran.

Five things to remember about war: 1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true 2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics 3. The rationale given for a war will change

Interestingly, the MAGA true believers will probably have the same response. #Trump #Iran

So who or what got Trump to decide to attack Iran? I would be surprised to learn that the old-school Republican hawks swayed him in the end. He hasn’t listened to that caucus in quite a while. The Kushner - Netanyahu connection perhaps?

Natanyahu of course is very happy about Trump‘s decision to enter the conflict with Iran

Wow. Trump really lashing out there at Fed Chair Jerome Powell during his press conference in The Hague.

Talking to the press in The Hague, Trump and Hegseth are bringing out the big (rhetorical) guns to maintain the narrative that Iranian nuclear sites were "obliterated" by US strikes. Meanwhile, official briefings for US members of Congress have been delayed.

So it‘s really happening. Trump‘s fat ugly bill is becoming law — because congressional Republicans are now all either MAGA true believers or spineless pushovers. Happy birthday, America.

So I guess Iran‘s nuclear program has been obliterated… -ish.

Gone to my favorite getaway to get away from all the craziness in this world
