It’s all just vibes.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

All the senators hammered home the idea that support for Ukraine remains bipartisan, and that they are absolutely skeptical of any deal that would allow Putin to reconstitute and rebuild.

I'm back at the Halifax International Security Forum today: It kicks off by awarding the John McCain prize to Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian dissident who spent two years in a penal colony on trumped up charges.
