This was a fun panel and it was a pleasure to speak with everyone.
I made the case as best I could for a left-version of realism and restraint. Though I am the first to acknoweldge that I am a realist first by far and it is an unconventional case from that perspective.

▶️ ICYMI: As foreign policy is set to influence midterm voters today, see IPD's panel last week on how an America First agenda and opposition to war have brought together voices across the political spectrum.

He got jealous that Fetterman is eclipsing him as the worst senator in Pennsylvania history so he had to crawl out of retirement to remind everyone why we all laughed when he got owned so hard in 2006 that his children cried in live tv.

"Voters overwhelmingly rejected him on Tuesday, too. The Iran war is his rotting albatross to deal with. Hang it around his neck, and remember it every time he opens his mouth."

www.currentaffairs.org Don’t Let JD Vance Weasel Out of This The Trump administration has the Loser Stink, and Vance is looking to wash it off. But as vice president, he owns the GOP’s failure.

Genuinely amazing how much Harris and Vance resemble each other. Not simply in being charisma vacuums elevated entirely by the schemes of others, but also in their public arc of being the sole non-fireable person in an admin yet unwilling to change their mind until too late.
