The Iran war is reverberating around the globe in so much unexpected ways.
I wrote about one possible effect for @NOTUSreports: that the war could give a big boost to the far right in Europe.

🚨HOLY SH*T: Mark Kelly just showed Tulsi Gabbard a Trump email to donors promising he’d let them in national security briefings for cash.
"Do you think (his) supporters should be able to pay and receive private national security briefings?"
Gabbard: …
@CarlosNYT@joumana_khatib@nytimesbooks@PoliticsProse Bittersweet farewell. I was there, in solidarity with and appreciation of all of you. My son was Berlin bureau chief, also shuttered this month. What a (pointless) shame, and what a loss for all of us readers, for the field of journalism, and for the direction of this country.
@mviser My son (Berlin bureau chief at @wapo) and hundreds of other journalists were let go in this fit of idiocy. With whatever bare-bones coverage of the news is left there, who's going to read this paper?

Hi @JeffBezos. We will never forget your support for our essential work documenting the war in Ukraine, which still rages. Your wife has called our team “badass beacons of hope.” We risk our lives for the stories our readers demand. Please believe in us and #SaveThePost.
@elie_foube16925 I'm now translating @martinmitt 's (Martin Mittelmeier's) HEIMWEH IM PARADIES for @PrincetonUPress, the story of Thomas Mann's life in Pacific Palisades, California. A fitting follow-up to the books you're now immersed in.
I've spent a lot of time in the past couple of weeks with members of Parliament from Germany's right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, learning just how deep the ties are that the AfD is forming with the Trump administration:
