Zohran Mamdani Is the Democrats’ New Kingmaker
Unlike more cautious elected Dems, the socialist mayor of New York City is spending his political capital – and can’t seem to stop winning. Democratic voters are behind him.

Told @FoxNews the next 60 days will be a bumpy ride; no one should expect that a negotiation between decades-long adversaries will be smooth sailing. But many of the challenges will come from direct efforts by Israel to sabotage Trump's deal. www.fox5dc.com/video/fmc-1n...

My interpretation of Vance's strategy is to frighten the Israeli public that U.S. is about to throw them under the bus, bad for Netanyahu facing elections, so N. responds by being more pliant to get Admin to "make up." I agree w you-force not words works w Israel.

By knocking out key pillars of the postwar order, Trump has exposed its fragilities and forced a reassessment of how the United States engages the world. But restoring credibility abroad will require more than rhetoric.

Progressives need to ground international commitments to democratic accountability at home and engage with social movements abroad. Few political figures have articulated this as clearly as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

A lot of folks seem to be impressed by Vance’s criticism of Israel, but unless and until the administration shows it’s willing to impose actual consequences it means about as much as Biden leaking that he’s upset with Bibi for the 100th time.

3/3 nuclear agreement that needs to be put to Congress. In sum, the interim agreement cannot be characterized overall as concerning Iran' s nuclear program. Nothing new has been really agreed. One should not assume lightly an intent by Congress to impair POTUS inherent powers to make peace.

2/3 largely with nuclear matters. And this provision does not constitute an agreement but a commitment to negotiate one in the future. (And there is in fact a commitment to the status quo until then). The re-affirmation by Iran that it will never develop nuclear weapons is just that-not a new

Does INARA even apply to the interim deal? Congress never contemplated a a situation where the legislation would affect the President's powers to end a war & global economic emergency. It is not really an agreement "concerning" Iran's nuclear program. Only one provision of 14 is concerned 1/3
