Remarkable how this is the beginning and end of what needs to be said and yet there's still so much "well he should brief us if he thinks there's a problem and then we can decide assuming he reveals some arcane intelligence we can't possibly already know" dilly-dallying from everyone else

New: Trump’s two-week window was a smokescreen. He had already decided to attack Iran when he said he was open to negotiating. Our report on tonight’s historic U.S. strikes. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

To say that American foreign policy in the Middle East is being conducted entirely on behalf of a foreign state is reminiscent of antisemitic tropes and has the potential to lend credence to the narratives of those who hate the Jewish People. It also, unfortunately, happens to be true.

Don’t take your eye off the ball. The attack on Iran is meant to distract you from the proposed changes to tax credits for soybean farms

We backstabbed the Kurds, we're sending back Afghan interpreters to be killed. Even Canada and Mexico. We signed a trade deal that we don't respect. Friends or foe, why would anyone trust us about anything? Literally anything?

I cannot say often enough that for all his narcissistic swanning about the stage "agonizing" about "his" decision, the Constitution flatly forbids Trump from attacking a sovereign country that has not attacked the US without obtaining congressional consent.

Mamdani will certainly fail. There will not be a rent freeze, there will not be free buses, the police budget will stay the same, and income tax rates for the wealthy will not rise by multiple percentage points. But he won’t be sexually assaulting women or killing seniors.

Again, Walz called them weird until the end of the campaign. The media just stopped covering it after two weeks.

I'm worried Mamdani's not gonna make it (and no one has made me feel anything except downright defeatist about Lander's prospects). But then I remember what happened last time Bloomberg put an unfathomable amount of money into winning a Democratic primary and I feel the slightest tinge of hope.

The American rich think they want to live in some corrupt Eastern European style oligarchy so bad but I don’t think they’ve thought through the implications of what it would mean for them if open corruption and selective application of the rule of law becomes the norm.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Being a journalist used to be a badass job. Now it's all press releases. Is it the fault of the management? Sure. But plenty falls on the reporters regurgitating talking points and never asking follow ups. Has betting on Trump and caping for Trump ever worked out for anyone but Trump? Good luck.

The idea that a school should be prepared to reward a well-argued paper for a bad position is fine in principle, but if we're not total nihilists, we'll also recognize that there are positions for which it's inherently impossible for a defense to be "well-argued."

Headlines like these need to be written as "Trump Appointee to Powell: Cut rates or resign." It's obvious malpractice to try and pretend there's qualified people on the anti-Powell side of the debate by laundering Trump's goons and burying their sycophancy.

People get in a lot of innane arguing over this when the obvious ideal climate would be ten months of sunny 65-75° weather with two months of constant, powdery snow every night and clear skies during the day. I believe one day humanity will be strong enough to engineer this weather.

Lander is the guy who gives the whole thing away: he's extremely experienced, he's successfully promoted development and housing expansion—and yet the people who say those are what matters are throwing their money and grievance behind a washed-up ghoul they trucked in from Westchester

The job of minority leader is to be constantly galvanizing your party and energizing your voters while you're out of power. That's it. Just a glorified pundit. Schumer is cleary failing at this.
