My heart today is with the Chabad of #Bondi, who many years ago welcomed me in for a special Passover Seder with their Russian immigrant community that I’ll never forget. May these #Chanukkah candles bring light to this world.

Y'all, MATT GAETZ was one of the fake reporters at today's fake Pentagon press briefing.

The 2nd question at the fake press conference went to the disgraced and alleged child sex trafficker former congressman who allegedly paid for sex with a homeless 17-year old.

So, there.

Trump’s trip to the Middle East is revealing more about America’s actual (narrow and outdated) perceptions of the Gulf states than anything. Especially Qatar. My take? There’s work to be done. The gifted 747/AF1 plane story hasn’t helped.

“Ukraine” is not even mentioned in Trump’s weak public message to Putin. He only threatens more econ pressure and offers to help Russia get rich. That’s it. No mention of defeating Russia, demanding Putin stop killing, withdraw from its invasion of Europe, or any US military action.

We are broadcasting live on BBC World Service from the legendary Hawk N Dove on Capitol Hill. Special radio coverage starts 11am ET. MAGA folks starting to trickle in. It’s freezing out (and by the front door.) #InaugurationDay

Shock for the conservative ranks of national security professionals? If you worked for any of these leaders, you are blacklisted for the next four years (at least.)

Merry Christmas from Napoleon, who knows a thing or two about long winters.

Look, democracy is under assault, sure, but then someone special sends you a pair of new skis for your 49th birthday this week and maybe we’ll all be alright. Or not. But at least you have new skis. There’s still a long arc of history to bend. But don’t forget to make time for yourselves, friends.

Happy Thanksgiving from Cape Town, South Africa! No turkey but a lot of other meat and fixins, amazing wine, and pumpkin desserts. We highly recommend Chef’s Warehouse Merchant Bar & Grill, on Bree St. 🍷🥩 @rachelrizzo.bsky.social

It feels good to get back on air and in the studio, doing my thing, explaining politics and national security news, listening, and helping audiences understand what’s happening, in any language. Thanks to MSNBC’s 11th Hour and Ashraq’s Washington Journal.
