@quincyinst @rstatecraft | all these bad opinions are mine and mine alone
new Always at War! why does DC launch so many regime changes? @ckayerawlings and I talk Iran & why coups don't work, even if they "succeed"
The type of guy who always accuses antiwar people of “Americentrism” are happy to claim that any conflict is the direct result of an American military retrenchment that…never even happened
Welcome to the world after Pax Americana
The crude denialism Weiss was publishing just a few months ago now risks reputational damage. That she's scrambling to cover for this is a sign of how even elite opinion now can't ignore the monstrous reality of what Israel is doing.
The price of flour shows the growing hunger crisis in Gaza. Important from @AmitSegal in @TheFP: thefp.com/p/the-price-of…
In @nytopinion I write that President Trump is failing to be a peacemaker. He is not on track to reduce America’s military involvement in the world and is keeping the United States in a position that invites more wars, potentially much larger ones. Gift link below.
It’s not stalking, it’s called journalism.

Aid organizations report that thousands of children in Gaza are at risk of starvation while trucks full of food sit waiting across the border. The full flow of humanitarian assistance must be restored immediately. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…

This reads as though the Gaza famine is the fault of lazy trucks
I’m glad that some pro-Israel voices are acknowledging the famine in Gaza, but the tone of these posts is insane. What else was going to happen when Israel cut off all aid to Gaza for months at a time? What data did you need besides the fact that no food=starvation?
Folks, I need to inform you that there is very concerning data regarding the food situation in Gaza. Firstly, let me just that that as someone who supports Israel I anticipate many on my side will be skeptical of this and I totally understand why. Throughout the war you have…
In a new Vogue profile, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear comes out in favor of the Iran Nuclear Strike, says Israel a "critical ally" that you shouldn't criticize "publicly or through the media".

Holy shit the "Free Press" just took down the video of @havivrettiggur sounding the alarm about the famine. What a way to welcome him to the organization. @bariweiss wants heterodox views, but stating the obvious, that Israel is inflicting starvation on Gaza, is too much
Things are so hellish in Gaza that @havivrettiggur is issuing an urgent call to Israelis to wake up to the scale of the crisis they’ve caused. x.com/TheFP/status/1…
went to a coffee shop on the north side and like… holy shit lmao
New from me: Americans hired to put a non-Israel face on Netanyahu's dystopian aid schemes might end up bringing about the collapse of the whole thing. Another one comes forward, disgusted and horrified with what he saw there: responsiblestatecraft.org/us-contractors…
I am halfway done doing something better: a podcast series with Brendan. We’ve recorded 3 episodes, 2 of which are about 3 hours. MGS3 episode we just recorded was 5 hours and Brendan has indicated he wants to keep possibly the dumbest hour of audio ever recorded in the final cut

side note, but: “His use of language is manipulative” is such a stupid and funny criticism to make about an essay you don’t like. “How dare you arrange words in a certain order to evoke a particular thought!!!”
I love how these types of pieces always wind up with "so, the United States should maintain its empire forever." Genius thinking over here liberalcurrents.com/moyns-muddle-o…
lowkey we are out here turning swords into ploughshares
Stephens often cites my obit of Chávez saying that his main failure was not being “authoritarian enough” (by which I meant, in spirit of Weber and Chuck Tilly, he didn’t leave behind an effective state). Seems for Bret, Israel’s main problem is that it’s not “genocidal enough.”

Dangerous to whom? The U.S. or some third country you fail to name?
With Khamenei severely weakened, Erdogan may becoming the most dangerous man in the Middle East.
