إن المواجهة مع إيران تُعدّ بالفعل فشلاً استراتيجياً من الدرجة الأولى. فالحملة التي بدأت بمحاولة إسقاط النظام الإيراني وتنتهي باتفاق يعزّز هذا النظام لا يمكن اعتبارها نجاحاً، حتى وإن شهدت بعض النجاحات التكتيكية. alquds.com/en/posts/244293

My re-rank of Senate flips, and I bet all 6 happen, in the following order: North Carolina; Maine (yes really, with Platner...Collins is widely despised now); Alaska; Ohio; Iowa; Texas (this one by a hair, perhaps not settled for days). South Carolina closer than expected.

Co-sign.

Doug Burgum is a great example of how Trump turns everyone around him into a painfully sycophantic hack. When Burgum ran for president in 2024, he seemed like a reasonably serious traditional conservative. Now he's on TV saying extraordinarily silly things all the time.

Make no mistake; not allowing Trump to renovate the Kennedy Center saved it. This is what happens when he tries to “fix” things.

Someone’s grandpa is gonna believe this

Either this is an insane coincidence or she’ll be announcing that she’s stepping aside for independent Seth Bodnar — the former president of this school — to run 1:1 against Republican Kurt Alme.

Agree. Betting odds are not predictive.

Not true, Bush 43 was in the 20s toward the end of his Presidency.

Agree with all this except we don't yet know the actual settlement terms, so we don't know how "favorable" they are to Iran. They probably ARE favorable to Iran, but we don't know yet.

There are no choices without Platner willingly dropping out. He won the primary easily and would have done so vs. an active Mills, and will not drop out without his polling vs. Collins collapsing, and perhaps not even then. It's best to end useless scholarly debates.

LOL, even McEnany won't go along with this juvenile taunt.

JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Detail From The Kennedy Center Fight. Rep. Joyce Beatty says she was the only board member who tried to stop Trump's name from being placed on the Kennedy Center. According to Beatty, the proposal wasn't even on the agenda. She says she joined remotely, attempted to object, and was muted before she could make her case. Beatty challenged the move in court, arguing the Kennedy Center's governing law did not allow the institution to be renamed after Trump. This week, a federal judge agreed and ordered Trump's name removed. Tonight, workers are physically taking it down. That's the story. Not just that Trump's name is coming off the building. That the board member who says she was silenced ended up winning in court.

My interview @cnni: From an Israeli perspective, the proposed U.S.–Iran agreement is seen as highly problematic. Critics in Israel argue that it could strengthen the Iranian regime, precisely the outcome Israel has long sought to prevent, while offering only uncertain or limited constraints on Iran’s nuclear program. There are also concerns that any final deal will not include meaningful restrictions on Iran’s missile program or its network of regional proxies, or that such provisions would be weak and difficult to enforce . At the same time, Israel’s ability to directly challenge or reshape the position of the U.S. administration is viewed as limited. As a result, Israeli policymakers are expected to act cautiously, particularly so as not to undermine the U.S. president’s efforts to reach an agreement. Strategically, Israel has tried to separate the Lebanese and Iranian fronts in order to manage regional escalation more effectively. However, this approach has had limited success so far. Overall, Israel’s capacity to influence the direction of U.S. policy on this issue is perceived as more constrained than in the past, given the dependence in the administration and President Trump. #IranWar‌

Ossoff will be thrilled to have Mike Collins as his opponent

If MAGA women believe that women shouldn’t have the right to vote, then they should go ahead and live their truth now and stop voting.

Yes, except for 78 million red-pilled idiocrats.

VAN SUSTEREN: Who is our best friend in South America at this point KRISTI NOEM: We've worked so much with El Salvador ... Costa Rica has been fantastic (El Salvador and Costa Rica, dear reader, are not in South America)

It really does feel like @SenOssoff and @jamestalarico are political "entrepreneurs" in creating their own personal brandings from scratch. @MalloryMcMorrow could've done the same and didn't know how, or didn't think to try.

Platner stans are fools and worse. But I cold-bloodedly want him, if he doesn't exit by July 12 which has potential only after a polling collapse, to defeat Collins, and I bet he will. GOP promises of "held oppo" ring hollow to me, they'll have nothing journos haven't found.
