Trump will never jettison Jared. For one thing, the Kushners are probably richer than Trump. And they have Ivanka https://t.co/isuyYg8wGy https://t.co/2hQ82jatSF

Much more convincing than I’d expected. If, this far out, Trump’s only beating Someone Else by 55 to 37 among Republicans, that seems a very closeable gap for a 2024 version of Gene McCarthy … https://t.co/5FjMn0qP0d

Baquet often seemed to be pushing back against the tide of wokeness–but there’s no question the @NYTimes got worse on his watch, in the sense of pleasing partisans at the expense of truth. Exhibit A is falsification of the Trayvon Martin phone call here https://t.co/4HhI3fqVwx

It’s almost as if @Twitter now has a big suppression bureaucracy that has to treat quotidian controversies (eg KBJ hearings) as if they were Hunter’s laptop with the 2020 election hanging in the balance. If they don’t find new things to censor what are they going to do all day?

Maybe the idea really was to send a message to Kamala https://t.co/WndQjjduyg But that’s the WH’s interest. Why would *authors* want to do it now?

.@nfergus argument is that #2 is Biden’s strategy, not #1.
#3 could be directed at a deal, or at grand world-pivotal Putin collapse. But only really makes sense for the latter (otherwise big risk for relatively small payoff). https://t.co/9i1UlnVaQO— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

So 3 positions (may have this wrong):
1) Help Ukraine as we’re helping. Don’t risk escalation. Negotiate a neutrality deal to end war
2) Same as 1 except DON’T negotiate, keep war going to “bleed” Putin so he falls
3) Do more to help UA, even if risks escalation-eg No-fly zones https://t.co/eiU9h46k6a— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)
