"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."
Trump plunges the US into a new war
In fewer than six months in office, the self-proclaimed anti-war president has engrossed the US into a new war in the Middle East

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

Was at the dentist this morning.
Dentist: How's it going?
Me: Eh, haven't been added to any confidential Signal chats!
Dentist: ...what?
Neither dentist nor her assistants had any idea about the top headline on every single news site yesterday.
Talk about it. GET PEOPLE to follow the news.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy.
SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.
