McGurk made policy for W/Cheney, Obama, Trump I and Biden. His new memoir, defending war policies continued by Trump II, is now praised by a prominent Dem Senator. This is the sinister โhorseshoe theory,โ no? If not, why not?
. @brett_mcgurk is one of our nationโs great experts on the Middle East and has spent decades working at the highest levels of diplomacy through some of the regionโs most consequential moments.
Iโm really looking forward to reading Brink and learning from his firsthand account of the extraordinary efforts to free the hostages, and confront the extraordinary challenges of the region.

I remember near the end of the Reagan era, when it was scandalous to observe that the top 10% owned more than 40% of US wealth; now it is almost 70% and barely commented on.

The damage that Clintonโs Telecommunications Act of 1996 has done to the future of this country and planet cannot be overstated. Yet, itโs not really discussed at all.

Remember when Jason Eaton shot three Palestinian college students in Vermont "to protect his Jewish neighbors" and you took the opportunity to warn everyone about "the troubling rise in antisemitism"?
Desecrating the memory of murdered, innocent Jews today of all days and refusing to even condemn Hamas is obscene. There are 364 other days you can wrongly criticize Israel for defending herself. If you had respect for the dead, you'd just acknowledge the tragedy, but you donโt.

"Attack Ends Israelโs Hope That Hamas Might Come to Embrace Stability"
The "stability" on offer was something that you would never find acceptable if it was happening to you and yours even if you could ignore 2 million Gazans. Not so easy to ignore now.

ISRAELIS ADMIT they:
- Wanted to take Gaza, needed an excuse
- Knew 10/7 was coming
- Extended Nova/moved it as a human shield between Gaza & military targets Hamas planned to hit
- Blocked security/delayed reply
- Killed their own, blamed Hamas
- Used hoaxes to justify genocide

The Israeli army's cover-up of how it fired tank shells at the home of Pessi Cohen, killing all but 1 of the remaining hostages there, including 7 of them by torching them to death, was patheticallty easy to refute. Watch this timelapse video while reading our coverage @Intifada

Itโs always the same, the FBI creates the plot, foils it and claims victory โ this is the cycle of threat creation in this country since 2001. Another life ruined to keep the DHS machinery going.
FBI agents have apprehended an 18 year old who had been speaking to an FBI informant for two years until the FBI provided him with a rifle and ammunition and arrested him for it, the FBI says.

Re-reading the original Arnon Soffer interview from 2004, worth noting that
(i) Biden allowed Israel to exceed its long-held ethnic cleansing plan and embark on genocide
(ii) Trump is also allowing Israel to exceed its ambitions by extending that same process to the WB

as @VladDavidzon helpfully demonstrates, this is the logical endpoint of the liberal argument: Mahmoud Khalil is a threat to US national security, the old lady holding a "Palestine Action" cardboard sign is a threat to the UK's national security, & so on
these guys are *cowards*
liberals in Europe in America are increasingly embracing the idea that anyone with the "wrong" opinions on foreign policy should be understood as covertly aligned with an enemy state, and therefore must be criminalized.
this is extremely stupid, shortsighted, and dangerous!

China does not fuck around:
"Xi Jinping wants those who benefited the most from Chinaโs economic ascent to increase their contributions back to the state, embarking on what could be the most ambitious global tax hunt in history."

He stole $100 million the old fashioned way, by becoming a CIA agent and just pocketing as much unaccountable dark money as he could, then laundering it in Florida real estate. Tip of the cap, most people join Congress or go for the Presidency if they want to steal at this level
Holy moly.
David Rush, the CIAโs $46 million gold hoarder, pleaded guilty Tuesday, and court documents show his scheme was far bigger than we knew.
Rush created a fake, highly classified Special Access Program to buy more than $100 million in South Florida real estate. He had nearly $40 million in a bank account registered to a Delaware LLC, along with luxury cars, watches, and more. He also chartered a private jet to Palm Beach for himself and a family member for $95,000.
Even more alarmingly, in 2025, Rush โrevealed to a foreign government official the existence and certain descriptive information about a US government clandestine human source.โ

This is especially funny because Amit Segal is the son of Hagai Segal, an actual convicted terrorist
@mehdirhasan I'm a fan of debate, just not with those who condone terrorism, whether out loud or through deafening silence.
