Maybe choosing someone who is one of your NY real estate investor pals with no diplomatic or military experience to be the special envoy to deal with Putin, who refuses to bring any help with him from the State Dept & uses Kremlin translators, wasn’t the best plan to end the war.

1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵

Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media. What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation. www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...

Superb piece by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social on how voices on the left are shut out of MSM:“No one said anything, no letter was sent. Instead, he tells me, the phone simply stopped ringing. Without explanation, his 20 years of work with [the BBC] came to a halt” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
