Most Americans don’t think about the UN on a regular basis. But, as I argue, the UN performs essential functions that improve the life of every American. So, naturally, Trump wants the US to walk away from this 80-year old institution.

Eliminating the PMF program as President Trump ordered could mean losing a new generation of bright public servants. PMF alums @andrewpmiller.bsky.social and Kelly Razzouk explain in @justsecurity.org:

In my latest piece for @foreignaffairs.com, I explain why “U.S. intervention in Iran would be a terrible gamble.”
“Even if a limited U.S. operation goes according to plan with no retaliation, a decision to intervene in the conflict would…make a sustainable solution harder to achieve.”

To fight antisemitism, we need to understand it. The DC and Boulder attacks were antisemitic, yet instead of calling them what they are, Trump uses them as pretexts for implementing an authoritarian agenda that harms Jews and other minorities. More in my newsletter today: conta.cc/3SFsUq8

The major themes of President Trump’s visit to the Arab Gulf states are rooted in his personal biases rather than any coherent vision for U.S. policy, let alone one that delivers for the American people. The latest from CAP's @andrewpmiller.bsky.social:

“The desire for personal wealth and power” is the key point. Everything they do is motivated by their own narrow self-interest. And what’s good for them is seldom good for the American public.
Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)
