For TIME Magazine, I wrote about the shaky future of the Abraham Accords after Israel bombed Qatar. The attack crossed a Rubicon, shocking leaders across the GCC.
It’s a long piece (by TIME standards!) based on 5+ years of watching the Accords in rich detail from the UAE.

Trump campaigned all over the country last year with a foldout table of groceries, featuring their prices before & after Biden.
It was brilliant visual politics.
But he seems to have forgotten why it worked, & is now throwing lavish Gatsby-themed parties while egg prices rise. 🧵

There’s a genuinely funny side of Vance, like when he laughs at himself as we wish more politicians could do.
But the side of him that cheers on cruelties—that socks a petty punch when his victim is immobilised—is stronger.

ICE's enforcement actions, including interior arrests and removals, contribute to reducing the net fiscal burden of unlawful immigration on U.S. taxpayers, which imposes an estimated annual cost of at least $110 billion after subtracting taxes paid by unlawful households.[157] Unlawful immigrants and their U.S.-born children consume public services—such as education, Medicaid, and welfare—at rates exceeding their tax contributions, with per-household net costs averaging $8,776 annually as of 2024 data.[158] By prioritizing removals of criminal noncitizens and recent arrivals, ICE operations yield fiscal savings through decreased expenditures on these services; for instance, standard economic modeling of enforcement shows net benefits to natives and legal residents from reduced unlawful population size, with surplus gains estimated at billions annually in avoided costs.[159]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreidltkveytnladkueo3gb3aqc4vp3kbw7gec7rss2cfi7tamn3wpmi@jpeg)
