Surprisingly damning review in the NYT of Brett McGurk's Gaza memoir:

[dart @poordart]

For those who dont speak Arabic, he says:

"This - this right here is why Americans dont have healthcare"

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

The claim that Hormuz will become irrelevant has partially come true, but not as Trump anticipated.

Keeping the Strait half-open won't make much of a difference if the Houthis close Baab el-Mandeb.

The idea that time was on Trump's side seems to have dramatically flipped.

Wow!

9/11 Families not only called out Saudi Arabia for its role in the terror attacks, but also the US officials who for years have protected the Saudis - some of them were apparently in the audience!

Terry Strada: "My husband, Tom Strada. You are missed more with each year that passes. But how can it be 25 years and still we have no justice for the role that Saudi Arabia played in your murder? Yes, we finally made it into a court and have proved that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia fomented a rancid culture of anti-American terrorism around the globe and then sent its agents to support the radical Islamist hijackers so they could attack you and all of our loved ones. But, for 25 years, administration after administration, including leaders in front of us here today, chose to protect the Saudis instead of standing with the 9/11 families. They withheld evidence...they broke promises, both public and private; it's been one betrayal after another."

@mb_ghalibaf Type shit

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Now that the left is actually within reach of attaining real power, this kind of antisocial behavioral should be thoroughly shamed.

Short harder, champ. Like your career depends on it (because it does). Or drain below the danger zone and watch your caverns collapse (along with your career). Or pray to the salt gods of Bryan Mound.

The world's already got its popcorn :)

I think the Iranians have been imagining this for the better part of 40 years.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

I fully understand. It is extremely disorienting when Trump actually makes sense. But what he is saying is true. This warning - that the overuse of financial sanctions would cause a rush away from the dollar - was first stated by Jack Lew, under Obama.

In a major 2016 speech, Lew warned against "sanctions overreach," arguing that excessive use of sanctions could encourage countries and companies to avoid the US financial system and the dollar. He said:

"The more we condition use of the dollar and our financial system on adherence to U.S. foreign policy, the more the risk of migration to other currencies and other financial systems grows."

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

[Bannon’s WarRoom @Bannons_WarRoom]

BANNON: Isn't it gross what Fox does? Remember their cheerleading for the Iraq War? And then as soon as that didn't get ratings anymore, they just quietly walked away. Just gross.

And Lindsey Graham, what a sick individual. "Make Iran Great Again." WE DON'T CARE ABOUT IRAN! The Persians will make it great again THEMSELVES! Outside intervention would only prolong the problem.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Trump's former CIA Director and the largest newspapers of the Israeli media can state explicitly and clearly that the Mossad is all over the protests in Iran, and yet still people will deny it and say only a conspiracy theorist could believe such a crazy tale.

@RaheemKassam Because we lack the spices/technology to cook curry at home.

Henceforth 9-10 is Ashura for #MAGA folks.

[Saagar Enjeti @esaagar]

.@ggreenwald joked to us at Breaking Points yesterday that it rings a bit hollow when we call Iran a theocracy when lawmakers like Ted Cruz and our former Ambassador are citing biblical and rabbinical doctrine to justify support for striking Iran

@SixtUSA never experienced such atrocious customer service in my life.
Spoke to a manager and refused to reset a reservation to the original time and price (prepaid over a month ago), after the site glitched out a modified reservation.

@mattyglesias I mean Tatte is criminally mid.
