just the most farcical excuse for a global hegemon ever. rank amateurism all round.
Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.

Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:
Stupid is as stupid does.
According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

TPM surveys the Trump make over of the DHS, as revealed in a major exposé of the WSJ. The conduct that WSJ catalogues is the classic work of secret or political police in authoritarian dictatorships around the world. Nothing unusual on the global stage. But new for America, it's true.
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a virtual halt, unleashing the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s and threatening the global economy—and every bit of it flows directly from Trump's decision tot go to war with Iran. www.wsj.com/world/middle...
