I had originally planned to share this on Friday, but it’s ready now and I’m really looking forward to the conversation.

Leo curled up on Clara’s lap, purring contentedly, while Oliver darted around the room playing with a feather toy, and Luna napped in the sunlight on the windowsill. It was a perfect, warm, and cozy afternoon filled with laughter; shine bright and do not dim for anyone.

Silence can convey more than many words. Be respectful, generous, and selfless. Accept people as they truly are. Appreciate every gift you receive.

@GHeapmo Yes, thank you. I’ve been following and it makes absolutely zero sense. People that shouldn’t be cut according to the law are cut. And such drastic cuts made as energy is also rising is cruelty to the most vulnerable.

My latest @NYTimes oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran.

By my calculations—and I show my work—it will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands.

Good morning friends. Sunny in London today on Monday. A new week, a new beginning. No change regarding any wars. They continue. The US - Iran continues. As does the Ukrainian war. Other violence persists.
We hope for peace. We hope for the best.

I hope these messages sink in within the administration:

A. Iran does not believe it lost this confrontation. On the contrary, from Tehran’s perspective, it proved resilience and strategic staying power.

B. Iran has no intention of capitulating or accepting Washington’s demands, not now, and not in the foreseeable future.

C. No matter how much Trump threatens “the end of civilization,” Iran is unlikely to back down. Even if military confrontation resumes, Tehran is not expected to reverse course under pressure alone.

D. The only realistic paths to an agreement are either:
compromising on key Iranian demands, or pursuing regime change in Iran.

If the administration is unwilling to commit the enormous military, political, and economic resources required for regime change, then it likely lacks the leverage to force Tehran to accept maximalist terms.

E. Neither sanctions, blockades, nor other “silver bullet” pressure tactics are likely to compel Iran to fundamentally alter its negotiating position. Claims otherwise are increasingly detached from reality.

F. Iran and its regional proxies retain significant capacity to inflict economic and strategic pain on Gulf states, particularly in the energy and maritime domains.

G. Any agreement with Iran is unlikely to include meaningful restrictions on its missile program or regional proxy network, and will almost certainly acknowledge, at least implicitly:
Iran’s right to enrich uranium, and its Hormuz straits control.

H. Most Gulf states are deeply concerned about escalation and understand that toppling the Iranian regime would be extraordinarily difficult and destabilizing.

I. The United States did not achieve a decisive strategic victory. Despite operational successes by both the U.S. and Israel, the broader strategic balance in the region has not fundamentally changed.

J. Iran is not Venezuela. It is a far larger, more institutionalized, ideologically committed, and strategically resilient state with deep regional networks and a much higher tolerance for prolonged confrontation.

The bottom line us simple: There is an illusion in Washington that Iran emerged weakened, isolated, and ultimately cornered by military pressure, sanctions, and the threat of escalation. From Tehran’s perspective, the recent confrontation did not end in defeat. Quite the opposite. The Islamic Republic believes it demonstrated resilience, survivability, and an ability to absorb enormous pressure without surrendering politically. In the eyes of Iran’s leadership, simply enduring against the combined pressure of the United States and Israel reinforces the regime’s central narrative: that resistance works.

The administration must recognize an uncomfortable reality: coercion has limits. If the United States truly seeks to compel Iran to abandon its core strategic doctrine, there are only two possible paths. The first is compromise, meaning accepting that any sustainable agreement will have to accommodate at least some Iranian red lines. The second is regime chang. No more no https://t.co/1AnXeabG2T middle ground.

This morning's bird walk on Old Mission Peninsula was light on warblers but I had the best, longest look of a Merlin in my life. #BadAssFalcon Also just a beautiful morning of cherry blossoms.

Took the time to set up a photoshoot and document it. Steve took the time to dress up for it. He selected a bow tie for that day. He was very proud of what he and his team accomplished, and toil & sweat was condensed in the product on the table.

What happened to this culture?

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

We had this conversation in a public hearing a week ago and you said it would take “years” to replenish some of these stockpiles. That’s not classified, it’s a quote from you. This war is coming at a serious cost and you and the president still haven’t explained to the American people what the goal is.
