The old DC consensus is done & neither “America First” unilateralism nor nostalgia for liberal internationalism offer a viable path forward, argue @NancyGEO & @MattDuss in @ForeignAffairs. Read their vision for a bold rethinking of US foreign policy↘️ foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…
🚨📢 New Statement from @mattduss in response to French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that France will recognize Palestinian statehood. internationalpolicy.org/publications/r…

Even as Israel violated U.S. and international law, Biden withheld weapons only once—briefly—despite evidence of unlawful conduct, when he should have acted immediately. @mattduss told @SamSeder on The Majority Report⬇🎙️ majorityreportradio.com/2025/07/21/7-2…
🎧 Listen: @mattduss joins @NegarMortazavi on the @IranPodcast to discuss Trump’s Middle East policy, the path ahead for U.S.-Iran diplomacy, and more. open.spotify.com/show/4zlwE2FMy…
“The U.S. could quickly make a difference if it chose to,” @mattduss told @politico. But as global pressure mounts over Gaza’s civilian deaths and church strike, the U.S. continues to withhold meaningful action. politico.com/newsletters/na…
Had a great conversation with my friend and colleague @mattduss about war and peace in the Middle East.
War or Peace? Negar Mortazavi speaks to @mattduss about Trump’s Middle East policy, Israel and U.S. attacks on Iran and the 12-day war, and prospects for nuclear diplomacy between Tehran and Washington. open.spotify.com/show/4zlwE2FMy…
I told @politico Nat Sec Daily: “The United States clearly is the one country that could very quickly make a difference if it chose to” in Gaza. Biden chose not to. Trump is choosing not to. As children starve before our eyes. politico.com/newsletters/na…
Biden’s Team Lied About Gaza. It’s Time to Hold Them Accountable. My piece in @ForeignPolicy foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/18/bid…
“Elites struggle to engage arguments opposing great-power competition because they would have to explicitly admit that vulgar indicators of American power are more important than Americans being buried in debt or unable to afford their rent.”
ICE funding will likely triple next year to $30 billion, more than Poland spent on its military last year. Compared to the world’s largest military budgets, ICE’s 2026 budget would rank in the top 15.

Politico Playbook named this new Foreign Policy piece by @CIPolicy’s @mattduss a “must-read.” “Biden’s Team Lied About Gaza. It’s Time to Hold Them Accountable.” foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/18/bid…
Those most responsible for the catastrophe shouldn’t have a role in any future administration, @mattduss argues. foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/18/bid…
Compared to other major issues, #AI still ranks low in public concern—just above biosecurity and pandemic prevention. But as the Seismic Report 2025 notes: “Amid bigger fears, AI is quietly becoming impossible to ignore.” report2025.seismic.org
"Even before [Trump] came on the scene..." This is it right here. Trump is a symptom, not the cause. The true existential threat is the corrupt political system that enabled his rise. More Democrats need to show this courage and clarity.
America has the most corrupt political system in the Western world.
Children are dying and people are collapsing in the street as Israel starves Gaza and kills hundreds seeking aid. Countries have a responsibility to protect civilians from such atrocities. Impose an arms embargo, sanction Israel and break the siege now. pbs.org/newshour/show/…
