Some news: I’m utterly delighted to announce I’m @haaretzcom’s new U.S. bureau chief. Much, much more to come but we are making a major push into America. Watch this space 👀

In the meantime: looking for a new Washington correspondent. Reach out if interested or have a rec!

At this rate, we won’t know who are in the top two until the Fourth of July! #CAGOV

This is another sign of how the old categories of liberal and conservative no longer map precisely on our modern parties. Here the Democrats are more conservative as we’ve long understood the term — they’re (rightly) the Russia hawks.

More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT

@williamjordann The number is lowball conservative, not the vote content, yes?

Last night, Iowa Democrats got the types of candidates the party has struggled to find—and that could be trouble for the state’s Republicans, who are already contending with high prices and an unpopular war with Iran, @elainejgodfrey writes https://t.co/P7697w3qFT

[Sam Stein @samstein]

of all the pernicious things that have happened over the past few years I think the effective rebranding of January 6 into an event in which the rioters were the ones who were wronged may best symbolize how bad our politics have become.

The House votes to end the Iran war, in a bipartisan rebuke to Trump.

[Lisa Desjardins @LisaDNews]

This measure is tricky procedurally. It is not binding unless passed by the Senate, offered to the president and then not vetoed.

So, it is not expected to become law.

But this was a statement - largely but not entirely along partisan lines - against the president's war.

[Lisa Desjardins @LisaDNews]

Republicans voting yes to end the war in Iran were: Barrett, Davidson, Fitzpatrick and Massie

[John Bresnahan @bresreports]

New: The House passes a Democratic war powers resolution on Iran 215-208.

Four Republicans voted yes
