So far, President Trump has achieved few of his desired results in Iran, and the geopolitical costs are mounting.

Has any US military action ever racked up so many costs for so few gains?

Why can't we build nice things? I sat down with Vishaan Chakrabarti and @MarcDunkelman at @aspenideas to discuss why New York — and America more generally — struggles to get big projects like Penn Station built. Part 1 of my conversation:

At @aspenideas, @nytimes columnist @tomfriedman told me about the three factors he thinks are important when analyzing the geopolitics of the Middle East. Our conversation:

Should the US push for regime change in Iran?

In the second part of my conversation with @BillGates, I asked him about his outlook on the global economy and his thoughts on President Trump’s tariffs.

Fareed Zakaria is not wrong. 😳👇

From cutting research funding to attacking free speech, the Trump administration has declared war on colleges.

The United States is going through its own cultural revolution.

My take:

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

As Trump imposes his will on the Department of Justice, I talked with @RachelBarkow about who can act as a check on presidential power.

President Trump has found a lightning-fast way to end the war in Ukraine: surrender to Russia.

That move will result in another bigger surrender: a capitulation of key Western interests and values, built over decades.

My take:

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

President Trump, Elon Musk and others in the administration call USAID radical, wasteful, fraudulent. Here’s why they’re wrong:

JD Vance's Munich speech was pure fire 🔥

Elites haven't copped such a hiding since Ricky Gervais embarrassed Hollywood.

I counted no less than 30 quotable quotes from Vance's speech. Here they are:

Why do some Americans abhor Donald Trump, while others revere him? Part 1 of my conversation with @nytdavidbrooks, from today's show:

[S.L. Kanthan @Kanthan2030]

Can you believe that just 25 years ago, US was exporting 3x as much goods as China did?!

Then, Wall Street deindustrialized America, and China became the manufacturing God.

Now, China exports 70% more than the US does.

If you take away oil, gas, soybeans etc., China’s lead over the US is much bigger.

Donald Trump African supporters, take notice!
