Trump, given his current behavior, is likely to back Israeli open-ended campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, the West Bank, and even Iran, so long as the strikes stay off the front pages of the media he cares about in the U.S.

It seems like the trick to negotiating with Trump is to realize he doesn’t have any idea what the current facts are. "Oh you want 10,000 troops?" says world leader who already deployed 15K. "Great 10k it is"

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

From the start, the Abraham Accords were undergirded by faulty assumptions—namely, that peace and security in the Middle East could be achieved without resolving the Palestinian question, argues @elgindy.bsky.social.

new republican day one priority: making it harder and more expensive to file your taxes

NEW: Reps. Adrian Smith and Chuck Edwards wrote Trump a letter today urging him to terminate the IRS’s new free tax filing service, otherwise known as Direct File, on “day one” through an executive order.

It’s co-signed by 27 House Republicans.

don't really feel like litigating Biden's choice, but the Hunter pardon really does illustrate the logic of the low trust equilibrium--which is to say, how corruption spreads itself through society.

Is Trump anti-war? @johnwgunnison.bsky.social and I debate this question with noted conservative think Curt Mills on today’s podcast episode. No, John and I do not think Trump is anti-war. And his cabinet picks speak directly to this fact. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Some of the map patches on israeli soldiers showing areas part of the Kingdom as greater Israel might have further dented this cause. However with Netanyahu enjoying complete strategic autonomy over air and land across the whole levant might have also reduced Israel’s own urge to further normalize
