Not for nothing, but announcing that the US is taking over Gaza the same week you’re neutering the FBI’s entire counterterrorism program isn’t that smart from a security perspective.

It's really appalling that things are happening -- like firing career Department of Education officials because they attended a diversity conference -- that remind me of what I've read about Mao's mid-1960s Cultural Revolution in China, a humanitarian disaster we don't talk about nearly enough
