This map is why I encourage all of my students for study abroad, out of state grad school / law school etc.

Maybe, youโ€™ll love it, maybe youโ€™ll hate it; but you gotta try and experience different places.

Argentine economic history since the 80s is cyclical. Crisis, adjustment, over-borrowing, and crisis again. I am baffled how they keep getting away with this.

Annie Lowrey bending over backwards to call out Zohran Mamdaniโ€™s policies โ€œimpracticalโ€ because dems in Albany wonโ€™t support it.

Her alternative? Federal policy. As if people in Washington are more supportive of higher taxes for childcare.

Just say it Annie.

The #NYT prefers Cuomo over Mamdani. The guy who had to resign the governorโ€™s office due to sexual misconduct.
Anyone but a progressive! God forbid.

Trump/Vance talk about โ€œdiplomacyโ€ as a solution as if they invented it or thought about it for the first time.

No. Many people tried diplomacy with Putin before and it doesnโ€™t work, dating all the way back to Bush era.

Even Zelensky himself offered it several times. Pictured quote is from 2022.

Trump: โ€œHe doesnโ€™t have to stand there and say โ€˜Putin this, Putin that,โ€™ all negative things. Heโ€™s got to say, โ€˜I want to make peace, I donโ€™t want to fight any longer.โ€™โ€

So, what bothered him was the criticisms against Putin?

Overall, this meeting will put American national security at risk. We will have a harder time building and sustaining alliances going forward. I wonder what Australians will think of AUKUS or what Koreans/Japanese will think about China-Taiwan.
Today's meeting was not only about Ukraine and Russia.

I think it was more JD Vance than Trump that confronted Zelenskyy at the meeting. IF Trump's aim was to make a peace deal, Vance undermined those efforts greatly. Rubio's body language during the meeting also tells a lot. I don't think he agreed with the strategy at all.

several others also chimed in. i hope European leaders will take this as an opportunity to form a unified front.

ZELENSKYY: He broke the ceasefire, he killed our people, he didn't exchange prisoners. We did. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.

WHAT???

No class.
"I have never seen anything like this before" appears like a statement I will reiterate multiple times within the next four years.
