I don’t think this will happen but also it would be the most Washington thing ever to impeach Trump for ending an illegal war instead of for starting it.
Every so often an Israeli official or former official says what the government there is doing is lawless, undemocratic behavior, but in the US this is akin to heresy and you’ll lose your primary if you acknowledge half of what they say
Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon compares Israeli settler ideology to Nazism and accuses authorities of failing to investigate Israelis responsible for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank.

The FREEDOM Act led by @SenTomCotton is an important step toward restoring certainty and accountability to a permitting system that has become a major barrier to economic growth and energy abundance.

Yglesias is a true master of sounding like a reasonable centrist while spewing mendacious vileness, to cover for malignant shitbags.
It was not, in fact, pro-Israel groups who turned Israel into a polarized issue, but Prog allies. And they did it long before the war with Iran.
this double standard for Republican politicians has existed my entire life where they can routinely demean all Democrats as scum of the earth and all cities as unlivable shitholes but everyone threw a hissy fit over "they cling to their guns and religion" for years
The reflecting pool is a microcosm for Trump’s entire presidency. The tyrant wanted something done for his own personal gain and vanity, a bunch of actual experts told him it was a bad idea, he did it anyway, and now the entire thing is a disaster and waste of our tax dollars.
There’s a longstanding US bipartisan consensus around wildly inflating the Iranian threat. Trump’s war, a strategic defeat, was an expression of that consensus.
If the MOU ending the war puts the US and Iran on path to a more normal relationship, that will be a positive thing.
I honestly thought Team Blue had just been doing irresponsible point-scoring on this, but this is a genuine crash-out over the idea that the war might actually end and that Trump might rein in Israel's regional rampage. The point-scoring was when they pretended to be anti-war.
New York City elected a socialist mayor, and the Knicks won their first championship in 53 years. Imagine what we could do with a socialist governor in Wisconsin?

Watchin Argentina/Algeria & can’t stop thinking about the US mythos of “only in America can…”
Yet, Argentina has a “Mac Allister” footballer, Peru elected another Fujimori, & there was a stretch recently where damn near every Central & South American leader was of Arab descent
Students for Trump founder @RyanAFournier & his friend/roomie Jordan Daley both arrested. The former for domestic assault & the latter for using a fake secret service badge to pose as an agent. @willsommer has the deets.

This does kind of get to the root of why kids don’t have spaces to be kids anymore. Everything’s nefarious to certain people and instead of dealing with facts they’d rather just close down public spaces
