Saudi Arabia is in big trouble, with their oil industry under attack from multiple directions. The Saudis spent years bribing Trump and Kushner. At first, it seemed like a good investment. But the Iran war screwed them, now they really need help, and the US can't/won't. Me, in @foreignpolicy.com:

I feel like we are so used to living in a time of madness that we can't grasp just how insane the Kennedy Center dispute is. Trump took something that was running just fine and destroyed it because he couldn't put his name next to the murdered president whose memorial it is. That's completely nuts.

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

The eagerness of the court's conservatives to grant Trump the assumption of good intentions even when he's issuing blatantly unconstitutional orders and PUBLICLY SAYING that he has the worst of intentions shows their hands. It's Calvinball all the way down.

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.
There’s no clean way to hive off terms like “fascism” or “authoritarianism” from Trump’s policies.  Even if you disagree that the words apply, their use is backed up by a genuine attempt at intellectual justification for it. The use of these terms just is deeply linked to assessments of Trump’s actual policies, from the lawless renditions to foreign gulags to the unleashing of heavily-armed militias in American cities to the naked intimidation of large swaths of civil society.

By contrast, when Trump and MAGA media figures call Democrats “communists” or “antifa,” all of that is entirely disconnected from any policy realities. Many press figures would like it if there were an Archimedean midpoint between the two parties on all these matters. But there isn’t. At the most basic level, one party continues to function as an actor in a liberal democracy, whereas Trump and much of his movement, with the eager participation of many Republicans, simply do not. Dispensing with harsh but accurate descriptions of his real goals would whitewash them.

The problem with having a criminal President who promotes conspiracy theories, incited an insurrection, & lies habitually about everything and is enabled by an entire political and media movement that does the same is that after a while people don't believe him and create their own narratives. #whcd

The story of the Iran war is that Trump lost it in the first days. Everything since has been trying to deny that cardinal fact. You can see this by the fact that everything happening since has been trying to break free Iran’s hold on the strait, something it didn’t have before the war.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind
