We are constantly told that foreigners are violent criminals and fraudsters, and that America’s Democrat-run cities are terrifying hellscapes. World Cup is shattering those myths. My new piece: open.substack.com/pub/goodpo…
The misogyny of the Trump administration has become so ubiquitous we barely even notice. We should. My new one at the newsletter:

POTUS says that the US cannot guarantee the safety of Iranians traveling to the US.
Not sure if this applies also to Iranian-Americans already here. Or people who look somewhat Persian. Will await further guidance.
It is kinda leaning that direction. Which only strengthens the narrative (currently at a low rumble) that Bibi led a gullible Trump into war.

Confirms that FBI is letting DHS do the investigation; but also says that the gun is in FBI possession for fingerprinting etc.

If you declare “racial equity” in government to be a “dubious end,” YOU MIGHT BE THE RACIST (HUD letter to City of Boston, via Wash Post)
In my new piece, I consider Trump’s very limited communications strategy, from calling affordability a hoax to yesterday’s no-real-press-allowed Pentagon press conference. Please read and subscribe!

The Senate Democratic primary in Massachusetts could feature three pols who got to Congress by refusing to wait their turn. That might fit voters’ mood this cycle. My new piece:
