Just thinking outside the box here, Mr. Rubio, but what if we had the Secretary of State conduct these negotiations.
Mr. Rubio said that the Americans involved in the talks, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, were carrying out President Trump's orders to continue a dialogue with Iran that prioritized persuading the country to end nuclear development involving enriching uranium.
Mr. Rubio added that Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz, which occurred as a result of the war, must also be addressed.

Yep. This is exactly why I don't want to vote for Newsom in a 2028 POTUS run, so I'm hoping for better Dem candidates. 🤞 He's easily swayed when it comes to big donor pressure, and has made very problematic comments & policies re: LGBTQIA+ and unhoused people. 😡

Watching Trump minus audio is the way to go. Minus video as well is even better. "...viewers tuning into the White House feed on Monday could not hear Trump’s remarks during a midday ribbon-cutting ceremony... Without proper audio, viewers were only able to watch the president’s mouth move..."

It takes a special kind of Guy to look at all the circumstances of Brett Kavanaugh's career arc and reach the passive-voice conclusion that Kavanaugh "was forced" to join the Supreme Court's conservative wing. But Noah Feldman? He is that special kind of Guy. noahfeldman.substack.com/p/brett-kava...
On top of that, for years, Kavanaugh taught a popular course at Harvard Law School where he was straight down the middle, and conservative and liberal students both liked him. In fact, that’s how I met him.

Kavanaugh is personally engaging, and he enjoyed conversations with people across the whole ideological spectrum, and I think people mostly really ended up respecting him.

Then came Kavanaugh’s disastrous confirmation hearings, with the accusations by Christine Blassi Ford against him.

After Kavanaugh’s heated defense of himself and of his record, liberals pretty much turned against him. He stopped teaching the class at Harvard, he stopped teaching a class that he taught at Yale, and he began teaching only at more conservative schools.

I believe Kavanaugh really valued his ties across the ideological spectrum. The problem was that after the confirmation hearings, those connections across the spectrum were not really available to him anymore.

Justice Kavanaugh is a social person, he needs friends. But once liberals had turned against him, he really couldn’t afford to lose conservatives, because then he would have been entirely friendless — a situation not dissimilar to that experienced by Chief Justice John Roberts.

And so, as a result of the confirmation hearings, I think Kavanaugh ended up in a position where he was just forced into the conservative wing of the Court.

The result is that Kavanaugh has joined the hard right on a series of very conservative judgments, including cases like the birthright citizenship case, where his vote wasn’t even necessary for the conservative side. He cou

A second federal judge has issued an order blocking the new USPS rule on mail voting. This is a separate case from the one in which a federal judge issued another block last week. (This judge refused to block Trump's order in May because USPS had yet to issue a final 'rule', which it since has.)
