A friend in Israel is my age with a young family. They are in a bomb shelter with an infant & children right now. He tells me — ‘morale is high; we’re exhausted & worse but in it to win it. And we feel fellowship profoundly with the Americans; we are part of something bigger than us.’ It’s a fellowship of free people, and one that I hope Iranians themselves may join after decades of brutal repression.

Donald Trump is going to be the only president in American history to single-handedly start and lose a war.

Secretary Rubio is heading to Panama to uphold the Monroe Doctrine. Problem is, Trump has the Doctrine backwards: rejecting outside influence in the Western Hemisphere means getting tough on China, not Panama. In his first term, Trump allowed China to renew leases for marine terminal operations in the Canal Zone and build big infrastructure throughout Latin America. So far in his second term, he's rolled over on TikTok, backed down on his Chinese tariff threats, and allowed the Communist Party to buy up his net worth in meme coins. Rubio & Trump need to stop bullying a small ally and start finding a spine against America's actual adversary: the Chinese Communist Party.

Democrats preparing to run for president in 2028 will need ideas for fixing Trump’s strategic failure on both Iran & Russia. One idea, paradoxically, is to combine the problems: knit together NATO & the Abraham Accords thru defense, energy & infrastructure projects so that a greater Mediterranean community can contest Russia & Iran on both wings.

The Defense Secretary needs to be a manager, a leader, and a foreign policy-maker. Pete Hegseth: - Ran two non-profits into the ground as a manager - Fails to meet the Uniform Code of Military Justice’s ‘officer & gentleman’ standards of leadership, and - Has no foreign policy experience

Speaker Johnson could shock the nation. Take up the Dignity Act: bipartisan legislation to secure the border, fix the visa & asylum systems, and provide legal certainty with fair conditions for DREAMers & others w/o documentation. It would pass, and rewrite the toxic politics of immigration. Or he could do the predictable: a partisan immigration bill that doubles down on the failures of ICE for the rest of Trump’s term.
