Incredible hour of @TheMiddle_Show last night with @EdwardGLuce and @GeneralClark on America's Standing in the World, which is dropping according to polls. Full show on our podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/are…
If you're interested in the Middle East and want to hear how seasoned insiders are thinking about the events shaping the region today, Taking the Edge Off the Middle East with Brian Katulis (@Katulis) offers candid, insightful conversations worth listening to. Brian sits down…
@EdwardGLuce on the demise of US morality: "The former Republican senator [Rubio] built his brand around evangelism for US democratic values and the rule of law. Now he is punishing a sister democracy’s legal system for enforcing the law." ft.com/content/9a767e…
“The loudest complaints should be coming from Trump’s protectionist advisers. By their logic, tariffs are about building up US domestic capacity. Trump, by contrast, is using them for whatever takes his fancy. And boy does he fancy strongmen.” My column. ft.com/content/9a767e…
More fun dystopia from @johnthornhillft
Disinformation warriors are ‘grooming’ chatbots on.ft.com/44AuEYp
Trump’s entirely capable of firing the Fed chair and wrecking the dollar to distract from his close friendship with a criminal sex abuser. That’s the nature of the man.
Alan’s got a very unusual, original and fruitful interviewing approach.
On #LeadershipMattersSXM on @SIRIUSXM, I was joined by author & journalist @EdwardGLuce to discuss writing with a global lens & the future of journalism. Listen now on @SIRIUSXM Business Radio (Channel 132). leadershipmattersshow.com/episodes/edwar…
Greatly enjoyed this wide-ranging and somewhat bibulous conversation with the great @Katulis. Will insist on a G&T at every podcast from now on. mei.edu/multimedia/pod…
"Cult loyalty is blind until it isn't......On Epstein, and for the first time in a serious way, the Maga cult is not obeying orders." My column on Trump's populist moment of truth. ft.com/content/4d7e00…
So the Supreme Court said Biden couldn't cancel student loans without congress but Trump can dismantle the entire fucking Department of Education?
As @EdwardGLuce observed in the FT on Friday, 'In another universe, the scales would now be falling from Maga’s eyes. Trump’s base would realise that for all these years they have been taken for a ride. In the universe that we do inhabit, Trump is betting on Maga’s gullibility.'
The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.
Definitely room for common ground here.
Elon, did you see this. At a Turning Point event Steve Bannon declared his number one mission is to destroy you and your companies. This guy has gone off the rails. Trump needs to talk to Bannon and his clique, and tell them to knock it off.
I had a fascinating discussion with @EdwardGLuce, at @CNASdc, about his wonderful new book Zbig: The Life of Zbigniew Brzezinski, America's Great Power Prophet. Watch it here: cnas.org/events/virtual…
"That's the day the Soviet Union ended" @EdwardGLuce, author of the new book Zbig: The Life of Zbigniew Brzezinski, America's Great Power Prophet, on Brzezinski's biggest successes.
"Iran is where Brzezinski's greatest failure happened." @EdwardGLuce on how Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Rockefellers, and Henry Kissinger got the Shah admitted to the U.S., setting off the crisis that came to define the Carter administration.
“Zbig” is a pleasure to read, written in the same plainspoken, lucid prose as Luce’s columns. Luce does a wonderful job reconstructing old policy debates in all their nuance..." Wonderful @washingtonpost.com review by @j_tepperman washingtonpost.com/books/2025/07/…
From the @washingtonpost rave review of @EdwardGLuce biography, ZBIG: America’s Great Power Prophet “@Zbig’s recognition — that the U.S.S.R. had a “nationalities problem” that would spell its doom — flew in the face of conventional wisdom for much of Brzezinski’s career. That…

NEW PODCAST: The @FT's @EdwardGLuce joins @SamRoggeveen to discuss Luce's new book about Zbigniew Brzezinski. They discuss Zbig's rivalry with Henry Kissinger, his foreign policy legacy, and what’s left of the Washington establishment he once embodied. lowyinstitute.org/publications/c…
Edward Luce: "Imagine that MacArthur Park scene around polling stations in November 2026. Imagine whatever pretext is used for [Trump Administration] to declare in a swing state or in a swing county that there are national security concerns... We're seeing dress rehearsals for…
