Insofar as AIPAC routinely blocks with Republican candidates, it loses its special sauce as a bipartisan, Jewish-focused outfit and fades into the MAGA background. My guess is they won't understand this.

paulkrugman.substack.com/p/how-china-... Here's a good rundown of something I started saying a while ago, attesting to Trump's role as a Russian asset, witting or not. Nobody has done more to diminish U.S. power relative to Russia, though neither could arrest the rising power of the PRC.

One dynamic I'm watching... News cycles end. In October, "remember Graham Platner?" might be a dud GOP argument. I think it will be! But it's hard to predict the future and Troy Jackson only has 18 days to convince Dems he would not be sunk as the Platner's Best Friend candidate.
James Fallows@jfallows.bsky.social · 4w ago1) Interesting "Dems Not in Disarray" front-page framing. 2) Point Dems need to keep making: -Virtually every Dem leader has now come out publicly against Platner. -Virtually every GOP party leader still all-in for Ken Paxton. (And, of course, for Trump) This is not a "both sides" situation.

Spoke to Satan and booked reservations in the third circle of Hell for all who attack the Trump deal from the right, such as blubbering that they get to keep their uranium.
Marxists have said religion is the opiate of the people. They need to look at football.
