On Trump, Gaza, and the Perils of a Blank Check for Israel Is the President flip-flopping on Israel's war, or just muddling through?

Far from ending the war in Gaza, Trump's blank check to Bibi has enabled it.

Looks as if the Epstein scandal is sticking around, & here’s an ALL-NEW @talkingfeds.bsky.social w/ a great roundtable of @sbg1.bsky.social, @klasfeldreports.com, & @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social to break it all down before moving to new authoritarian blows v civil society.

Trump Redefines the Washington Scandal In a Presidency where everything is an outrage, what does it say that MAGA’s revolt over the Jeffrey Epstein files is the one crisis that really might hurt him?

Is it still a scandal if there is no possibility that the accused will face any meaningful consequences? In this week’s column, Susan B. Glasser writes about Donald Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the rift it’s causing within the MAGA base.

The scandal "is not the revelation that Trump was friends with a sexual monster" or that he lies to the public, because those were already known, writes @sbg1.bsky.social. The novelty is that many Trump supporters now may stick with the conspiracy theory over him. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

In a Presidency where every damn day is a scandal, what does it say that the Epstein coverup is the only crisis to really hit Trump?

Did Trump Really Just Break Up with Putin? (Susan B. Glasser/New Yorker)

Did Trump Really Just Break Up with Putin? It’s never easy to tell which flip or flop the flip-flopper in the White House means.

Trump finally calls "bullshit" on Putin. But is this a real breakup? "The risk here is in the wishful thinking that Trump has done something other than recognize the embarrassing reality that Putin is not prepared to end the war," writes @sbg1.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

A Week for the Ages in the Annals of Trump Suck-Uppery The NATO secretary-general goes all in on strategic self-abasement while meeting with his American “Daddy.”

Love @sbg1.bsky.social's depiction of Mark Rutte's overweening 'Daddy' flattery. Key point that people keep forgetting: with Trump flattery only works for a v brief spell; humiliation lasts forever. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Now what?

Trump Makes a Big Show of Military Force What are the consequences of calling in troops to quell what the President has deemed “the enemy within”?

Trump’s use of force was this week’s podcast. Join Susan Glasser @sbg1, Evan Osnos @eosnos and me as we confront the new reality of troops in our streets: www.newyorker.com/podcast/poli...

Before Trump's military parade tomorrow, a reminder about why his desire to have one in his first time didn't happen because of push-back from "his generals." From a great article by @sbg1.bsky.social and @peterbakernyt.bsky.social .

www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

“This is the real escalation—a Trump-led federal government that has now redefined national security to include dissent from its policies by American citizens.”
