From threatening to invade Greenland to calling Canada "the 51st state" and slapping tariffs on everyone—this isn't "America First," it’s a massive self-inflicted wound. Now Trump wants to abandon NATO. That would be an all-time own goal.

Three decades ago, democracy looked unstoppable. Today, Russia and China are rewriting the rules. My latest book, Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America and the New Global Disorder lays out how we got here—and how the U.S. should respond. www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...

The immense determination of Ukrainian warriors & civilians has prevented Putin from achieving any of his initial war aims: Tried to take all Ukraine—failed. Tried to overthrow Zelenskyy—failed. Tried to stop NATO expansion—failed. Putin is losing this war. I just hope it ends soon.

Hard deals don’t get done in weeks. Serious diplomacy requires time, direct engagement, and experienced negotiators. We didn’t see that with Iran, and that begs the question of whether these negotiations were ever aimed at reaching an agreement or simply a decoy. W/ @katiecouric.bsky.social

This week Trump urged Republicans to “nationalize” elections. It may be one of the most anti-democratic ideas he’s floated and follows a well-worn authoritarian playbook, slowly chipping away at free & fair elections. Our democratic institutions are strong—but this is deeply disturbing

Power matters, but it's not everything. In Autocrats vs Democrats, I argue that three factors have shaped US-China/US-Russia relations in the last 250 years: power, regime type AND leaders. The interaction of these three factors explains why some eras see cooperation, others see confrontation.

Today, the last major US-Russia nuclear arms control treaty expires. It allowed inspectors on both sides to examine each other’s systems, reducing uncertainty. Without facts, worst-case thinking takes over—and that’s dangerous for nuclear powers.

Ukraine is a democracy. It isn’t perfect, and allegations of corruption around senior officials are troubling. But they’re made public precisely because Ukraine's democratic institutions are functioning. You don't see that happen in Russia because those institutions simply don't exist there

Trump’s impatience and erratic threats are undercutting his own team’s ability to negotiate effectively with the Iranians

Putin is backing Iran, strengthening a regime confronting the U.S., and exploiting the chaos for Russia’s gain. This isn’t complicated. Trump and his team need to wake up to this reality.

Jon Ossoff: "RFKjr is attempting to demolish Americans' public health. We, in Georgia, have always been proud to host the CDC. It's never been a partisan thing. What we've seen is an intentional effort to destroy this once preeminent agency. This puts our country and the world at risk."

The only Republican senators willing to call Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund 'utterly stupid' and 'morally wrong' are the ones who are already retiring or lost their primaries. The cracks in the GOP are real, but they're only forming on the way out the door.
