"I can't assess the alleged offenses by John Bolton. But I can assess the hypocrisy of an administration that tries to send Bolton to prison when the president kept classified documents in an insecure store room and the SecDef and others shared classified information in an insecure Signal chat"

"The Trump administration may be preparing to kick reporters out of the Pentagon for refusing to sign a press policy that is widely seen as violating First Amendment rights. This would be bad for the public and for reporters of course but I'd also note that it would hurt the Trump administration. Government officials do not give reporters access because they like us or worship transparency but because they think it's better (to paraphrase an annoyed LBJ) to have us inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in. Barring reporters is something authoritarian governments do all the time --"

"Finally some thrilling and uplifting news from the Middle East and President Trump does deserve credit. Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released. Food and other relief supplies released into Gaza. And good to see Trump emphasizing that this is the war's end -- hope he will not let Netanyahu start things up again down the road when there are inevitable disputes about the future of Hamas and about Israeli troop withdrawals"

"President Trump has dispatched federal troops to what he calls "war-ravaged Portland." Portland has its problems but it is not the "hell" Trump claims; it remains a food-and-wine heaven. "Hell" does not serve Pinot Noir this good. I suspect Trump is sending troops mainly to see if he can provoke violence to distract from his messes (Epstein files corruption tariffs economic softening) and justify his authoritarian rule"

"Hmm. I'm having second thoughts about my column today. I'd called on President Trump to skip sending troops to Portland and just join the city's naked bike ride. But in consideration of the human rights of Portlanders a naked Trump may be too much"

"Kind of fascinating how Trump supporters around the country think they know what is happening in "war-ravaged" Portland. As the Trump-appointed judge said Trump's view is "untethered" from reality. Folks come to Portland and see for yourself"

"Pres. Trump presents Portland as a "war-ravaged" "hell" that must be crushed by armed troops but it's actually a city that protests his plan with a naked bike ride -- that's the kind of "war zone" this is. So I call on Trump to join the naked bike ride:"

"So President Trump and Vladimir Putin will hold a summit in Hungary soon to discuss the Ukraine war. Good -- but let's hope it goes better than their last summit. And note that if Putin is more willing to negotiate today it's because of Ukraine's remarkable success in destroying his oil and gas refineries and export platforms in recent months. Perhaps a quarter of Russia's production is now off line and some will be difficult to repair. The upshot is that there are now gas lines across Russia making the cost of the war apparent to ordinary Russians and the drop in oil/gas exports means less"

"Why is President Trump targeting Portland Likely because he watched a misleading Fox News report that included video of 2020 riots and presented it as happening now. We asked our intrepid photographer to brave the war zone and here's what he captured:"

"One reason we tolerate the evisceration of USAID is skepticism about aid's effectiveness. Yet aid can and does save lives. As @BillGates notes here child deaths from diarrhea have fallen XX% since 2000. Diarrhea still kills too many children but we know to solve these problems inexpensively. We have the tools we have the resources but what's uncertain is whether we have the will. I recommend Bill's essay about saving lives of kids with diarrhea:"

"It's utterly disingenuous when Hegseth says that the new Pentagon crackdown is about protecting classified information. It's about protecting Hegseth. Remember that it was Hegseth himself who sent advance information about a Yemen bombing to his wife brother and personal lawyer in a Signal chat. That's just the kind of scandal involving mishandling of classified information that reporters should be uncovering and reporting on. But the new Pentagon policy would bar them from inquiring about it. So we have someone with a record of mishandling secret information taking steps to protect himself"

"I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $XXX billion over two years. That sum could save more than X million children's lives; instead it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word"
