believing that trump secretly agreed to this weeks ago means believing that this white house and DoD can keep an enormous secret and manage a successful disinfo campaign for weeks. trump knew a day or two ahead, at best.

it is entirely obvious that trump told bibi not to attack iran, israel did anyway, and now trump is claiming he was in on it the whole time to try to save face and pretend he’s still in the driver’s seat as dealmaker. like, trump telling bibi to wait has been in the news for at least a couple weeks.

a thing i think a lot of people are wrong about is thinking of law enforcement as a monolith. even if we grant a bunch of not-really-true assumptions about the politics of LEOs, jurisdictional pissing matches are incredibly common and coordination between different LE groups is hard and rare

Early indicators are that Israel has succeeded in their disruption of Iran's chain of command and even broader C3. Risk quickly becomes that Iran will not seek to calibrate damage in retaliation, but act spasmodically in ways that turn this into a broader conflagration.

Polling roundup: Trump is underwater on 11 of 12 questions about immigration and the LA protests Polls show voters don't like mass deportations or the federal troops. At this point, Trump has moved policy solidly beyond what public opinion has sanctioned.
