Could not agree with this more. It’s been almost two years since losing my dad. It hurts every day, in different ways. We all do need to be there for each other and tell each other that it’s ok to not always be ok.
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
Inspired after finally listening to the @acquiredfm.bsky.social Trader Joe’s episode to try this (also I will reiterate my recommendation to everyone to listen to Acquired - it is SO good)
I'm grateful to @wsj.com opinion team for including me in this conversation about the future of the Democratic Party. We may have our problems, but every indicator since the re-election of Donald Trump shows we're doing something right & I'm (cautiously) optimistic about the midterms. Video below!
@sportsiren.bsky.social speaking French when interviewing French player Nell Angloma after she’s drafted by the Sun is giving so much joy. Holly is really the GOAT!
Very good thread from a fellow JCPOA-er about how to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon (hint: that deal was more likely to work than anything that’s been tried since the U.S. withdrew from it) —>
Note for CBS Sports: the four back-to-back repeat Masters winners playing a round at Augusta together. Please make it happen!
Rory!!!! For someone who waited so long for his first green jacket, the repeat this year is especially sweet!
ORBÁN CONCEDED
Huge news out of Hungary - Orban loses big time
Day Two of the Hamilton Lugar School’s annual conference on America’s Role in the World: @dandrezner.bsky.social giving our students great advice, including with some legit humor
So wonderful to have AMB Linda Thomas-Greenfield in Bloomington at IU’s Hamilton Lugar School for this year’s annual foreign policy conference. Our students are so lucky to hear from such a thoughtful policymaker, especially about difficult topics.
Having @dassakaye.bsky.social on campus to talk about her book and the state of the world was the highlight of my week (my month!). She’s a must follow for everything Iran-related and as lovely a person as she is smart.
Yes we do ❤️
Everyone watches women’s sports! Turn on the women’s 🏀 natty right now to see two amazing female coaches and their teams battle it out (although tbh I still think it should be on primetime 📺). Side benefit is hearing from the ABC / ESPN analytic team working this game - lots of stars there too ✨
“To me, it feels like we are watching in real time the collapse of the Middle East America designed and dominated… But not everyone agrees. Nor should they – this is a moment of extreme fluidity, when an exceptionally wide range of outcomes seems possible.”

I mean there it is.

Genuinely hard to overstate how much of a strategic defeat it would be for the United States if the war ends with effective Iranian control of the Strait.
At the end of another crazy week, grateful for the rays of hope gained at an especially good @isanet.bsky.social conference in Columbus (O-H!). Seeing & hearing from @danigilbert.bsky.social @dandrezner.bsky.social @hbanai.bsky.social and others as we puzzle through this insane time was much needed.

Shocking US lack of preparation for drone warfare:
“Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage.”

Kenneth Rogoff: "Coming on top of the ongoing Ukraine and tariff wars, the Iran war is shaping up as the biggest stagflationary shock the world has seen in five decades."

Agree!
The Trump administration began deportation proceedings for 34 former members of the U.S. military over the past year, according to data obtained by The New York Times, after immigration authorities were told to ignore previous guidance that gave service members and their relatives more deference.
An excellent, clear, and compelling piece from @hbanai.bsky.social on the war with Iran — about the President’s factory settings and how they are driving the conduct of this war, this moment in U.S. politics, how we got here w/Iran, and other key parts of this particular puzzle. Worth a close read.
An incredibly difficult, heartbreaking piece to read. Makes crystal clear that Camp Mystic should never reopen again with the Eastlands in charge.
Rep. Lauren Boebert said she will not support any supplemental funding bill to pay for the Iran war, no matter what the price tag is.
