Rep. Michael McCaul urges Trump to completely destroy Iran and then "negotiate from the rubble"

We’re gonna find out in a few years that little things like this were leaked deliberately to generate action on polymarket, kalshi, and the betting apps. Not even a veneer of integrity to anything anymore

This explainer from Will Walldorf @will_walldorf is an absolute must-read for anyone concerned about what it means to help Saudi Arbia get nuclear enrichment.

MUST READ by @bartov_omer:

Genocides usually end by the perpetrators accomplish their goal, or a military force stops them and accountability ensues.

But in Gaza, we may be seeing a new future for the crime :(

"It is a future in which other nations or leaders may have an incentive to pursue genocidal policies knowing they will not only get away with murder but may even benefit from it. It is a future in which the countries and international organizations that had been committed to stopping and punishing genocide may give license to its recurrence."

Democrats saw this in 2016 and said yeah we want Hillary. And then Trump won🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

It mystifies me that these guys keep talking about Gaza like somehow, if they find the magical right words, they can erase what happened and their role in it.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

It’s funny that Paul Singer, Jan Koum, and @neeratanden are the three most prominent supporters of Haley Stevens.

Singer and Koum are outspoken supporters of Trump while Tanden publicly claims to be against Trump but actively spends all her time fighting other Democrats, and teaming up with Trump mega donors to do it.

Democrats won’t have a coherent party as long as a huge chunk of it is funded by Republicans.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

What kind of Democratic Party do you want? One in which AIPAC / dark money floods primaries at the last minute to swing an election? Or one in which people fund campaigns in which the candidate regularly faces voters and not just friendly interviewers?

[Peter Richards @Peter2Richards]

@jekavanagh @CurtMills They must remain serious about nuclear issue by default because it is still likely the only viable path to an offramp/deal at reasonable cost.

@calstanvard Totally agree on lines. I do think you try to trade a goalie at some point this season unless someone gets hurt. Three goalies in AHL for full season is not ideal.

A reporter asked Lamine Yamal how he handles the pressure of carrying Spain at 18. His answer: my mother had me when she was 16, that's real pressure. My father picked things off the street to bring food home, that's pressure. All I have to do is play football.

That's the whole story of who he is, and most fans only know the surface of it.

Before he was born, his teenage parents fell behind on rent. Two neighbors named Lamine and Yamal covered them, and his father vowed his son would carry both names forever. His legal name is a permanent record of a debt his family couldn't repay in money. In Arabic, the names mean "the trustworthy" and "beauty."

His parents split when he was around 5. His mother raised him in Granollers on a fast food wage. And here's the detail almost nobody knows: that job is the reason he became a footballer. Through work she met the daughter of the youth coordinator at CF La Torreta, his first club. When she worried she couldn't cover the fees, he told her that if the boy wants to play, money will never be the reason he can't.

As a kid, Lamine told his parents: if you're counting on me getting a normal job, we're in trouble. But if I become a footballer, you'll never have to worry again.

He signed with Barcelona at 7. He was right by 15.

Every goal, he flashes 304 with his fingers. The end of 08304, the postal code of Rocafonda, the neighborhood where strangers paid his family's rent before he existed. It gets credited on every goal since.

Today, at 19, he plays for the World Cup. And if he scores tonight, somewhere in the biggest broadcast on Earth, two neighbors will hear their names, and a postal code will flash on 2 billion screens.

Woah.

America’s Middle East policy really is just: “The wars will continue until morale improves.”

A member of Congress should not be devoted to any country other than the United States of America.

How exactly do you propose we prevent Iran from controlling Hormuz without embarking on a forever war? Stating preferences for outcomes is easy. Viable options to get there, however, are in short supply.

[Nicholas Burns @RNicholasBurns]

The Iran War was a catastrophic mistake and we should of course avoid a forever war. But Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz? No nation should accept it.
