I was victim of a fender-bending hit-and-run in a VA suburb of DC and they gave the culprit 24 hours to change his mind (even after they tracked him down to his home). No such mercy for Pelosi.

Sensible Ignatius column on Iran. The CW is coming around to something like the Take the Win strategy of–as summarized by @AlanTonelson– “ignoring diplomacy altogether and pressing America’s clear military advantages.” No rush on the nuke piece especially.

Even more basic problem with Edsall’s deal: There ‘s zero trust Dems will actually go along with ANY deportations in a deal-even for those who’ve been here for <5 years-when the time comes to carry them out. That’s not to say that the promise of a deal won’t fool some voters.
