*NEW EXCLUSIVE*: I’ve spent months reporting on the quiet campaign within the FBI to urge senior leadership to cancel Patel’s trip to Russia before the midterms. Current and former FBI officials familiar with the matter told me that their many efforts to pass apprehensions up the chain went unanswered, prompting some to take the extraordinary step to share their worries with Congress and others. @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/national-sec…

The opinions of young people have no special moral weight. Indeed, the opinions of young people as a class are more likely to be wrong, due to the fact that they are generally less informed than others and are more easily swayed by emotion, ignorance, and recency bias.

3. Not sure how she can say the people she met were smarter about economics than "elites" 4. she says Trump is the most popular politician in the country and he was able to win even though HRC outspent him but he ALWAYS loses popular vote! WTH? OMG
Ok I had major problems w/ her arguments: 1. When has a country prospered w/out free trade? Free trade benefits manufacturing since we import a lot of inputs. Not to mention agriculture! 2. Automation has done more "harm" to working class jobs than trade

The extent of destruction in Gaza is horrifying 👇 Sorry for the typo, this is Homs, Syria 🇸🇾, bombed by the Assad regime. Nobody protests in European capitals. No rage, no ceasefire demand. Just a few hundred thousand civilians killed. Carry on.

At some point, the Biden administration is going to have to come to grips that the Taliban has zero interest in power sharing, the constitution, and elections. The Taliban is quite clear about what it wants: the return of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
