It is now official: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has flatly rejected the core conditions of the Board of Peace framework, explicitly stating that Israel will neither adhere to a ceasefire nor withdraw its forces from Gaza. During a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu stated with unambiguous language: “Israel rejects the 15-point document published by the Board of Peace for Gaza”. In a previous conversation with lead envoy Nickolay Mladenov, Netanyahu set conditions – such as demanding unilateral operational freedom for the Israeli military to strike inside Gaza at will – that render a genuine peace agreement structurally impossible. The…
PBS NEWSHOUR: David Brooks of The Atlantic and Kimberly Atkins Stohr of the Boston Globe join William Brangham to discuss the week in politics, including the surprising result in Wisconsin’s Democratic primary, the status of ‘woke’ politics in America and the stalemate between the U.S. and Iran. WILLIAM BRANGHAM, PBS NEWSHOUR: I mean, Kimberly, the — some Democratic critics of the president say that, yes, the Republicans do like to fetish the woke era, but they argue you also have a Republican Party that is in virtual lockstep with Donald Trump.And what they argue is his very open war on…

I was extremely pleased to see that President Trump nominated Judge Lee Rudofsky of the Eastern District of Arkansas to a new vacancy on the Eighth Circuit. I have known Judge Rudofsky since his service as Arkansas Solicitor General nearly a decade ago. Judge Rudofsky is a committed originalist and a careful jurist. I echo the Wall Street Journal’s strong editorial in support of Judge Rudofsky: Over the past seven years, Judge Rudofsky has earned a reputation as a cerebral jurist willing to reconsider legal disputes from an originalist perspective. In 2022 he ruled that private parties can’t sue under…
A viral interview raises an uncomfortable question: what does it mean when a high-profile US political influencer sits down with a commander tied to the Azov movement and the “clean up the optics” answer is basically no? We take that clip seriously, not as clickbait, but as a window into how the Ukraine war is sold to the public, how propaganda works when facts are inconvenient, and why the neo-Nazi imagery controversy never actually went away. From there, we pull on a bigger thread that keeps showing up in foreign policy: the push to connect wars into one narrative. We…

Before we get into what happened in Boulder City, let’s name the thing correctly. MAGA SOCIALISM The federal government took land supposedly owned by the American public, shut that same public out of the decision, and handed the property to a private investment fund out of Texas. Nevada then sweetens the deal with tax abatements for the data center industry, while the local utility prepares to spend billions building new gas turbines to keep the servers running. The hedge fund gets the asset, the technology companies get the electricity, and everyone else gets stuck paying higher utility bills while praying…
President Donald Trump says the US will substantially reduce its upcoming war games with South Korea. “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea,” the President wrote on Truth Social Sunday. “These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J.…
