I suppose a good country singer can fake emotion, but Jon Kahn doesn’t have to do that here. I guarantee the emotion is 100% heartfelt. Also, it’s a beautiful, inspiring song, confronts the problem of theodicy, has a good break. What more do you want? https://t.co/VkUPVsUJyp https://t.co/iRLS2peJKt

It’s blindingly obvious what the Democrats should do on immigration: Give up. Change. Retreat.

The Signal story already seems past it’s sell-by date. May even be helping Trump by crowding out more damaging DOGE stories. The main cost to national security is burnishing the resume of J. Goldberg, who’s never paid the price for his misleading pre-Iraq reporting. [Link below]
