Let's not forget that during Biden's first two years as President, when he had (razor thin) Democratic majorities, Congress was quite active, passing bills such as the Inflation Reduction Act, the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS Act, the former two along strict party lines.

You should read, the former ambassador Pinka’s piece on a trusteeship, which is an old idea that could be implemented, if only we had committed and trustworthy leadership on both sides. share.google/cURm1kpH6pzU...

The Best “New” Idea for Middle East Peace? It’s 25 Years Old.

Trump’s Mar-a-Gaza idea is nonsense. Hamas is unacceptable. Netanyahu repudiates everything but war. A better path forward still exists—and it was charted a quarter-century ago.

One of the biggest consequences of Russia's war will be a changed Germany. It took a long time, but Germany is changing its approach to military force, to intelligence, to the arms industry. The result will be a huge expansion of European military power, firmly directed at Moscow.

European leaders have been unable to explain why releasing oil reserves just before a risky winter with likely supply disruptions due to the Iran War will help their citizens. They should just be honest: they felt they had no choice but to surrender to 🇺🇸extortion.

Yet again, Europe has surrendered to Trump

Yesterday leaders caved to Trump’s demand that they release Europe’s oil reserves ahead of a risky winter, to lower US energy prices before the midterm election.

While the Trump administration claims to be fighting antisemitism when it allows them to deport Muslim students, the German far-right is now banning new Holocaust memorials. And they're getting their funding from Elon Musk, the same guy funding American Republicans. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/w...

Overcoming Judaism is the foundation of the “progressive” narrative that later pits civilization against the savage, positioning Christianity and whiteness as the apex of history. You don’t get that without antisemitism as the foundation

Trump's "trapped in a fantasy world" where "he is doing a great job, he's fantastic, the economy's great," says John Harwood. "His psychological disfigurement will not allow him to feel the voters' pain."

Once again proving that the sun rises in the east and water exhibits both cohesive and adhesive qualities. We should start treating people who claim mass voter fraud exists like flat earthers.

I hate constantly ringing this bell but this was the decision made by the 2024 election. Voters who pretended that human rights and international accountability were their number one voting issue helped usher in a renewed/embolded age of American betrayal of our international commitments.
