I’m going to be taking the next two weeks off, this time for an actual vacation rather than because I’m putting together a talk somewhere. I’m hoping the world can behave itself while I finish moving and cruise the Danube.
Once again this week, the Iran War drowns out other news, though at least this time I’ll be updating the “ongoing stories” part of the weekly summary. Everything we’re finding out supports what the pessimists have been saying all along: Escalation will continue, because there is no other plan. The featured post this week will be a collection of notes on the war and its consequences. It should be out shortly.
The weekly summary will cover the latest news about ICE, the Trump regime’s continuing losses in court, the strange case of conspiracy-theorist-turned-MAGA-defector Joe Kent, the death of Robert Mueller, and a few other things. I’ll try to get it out around noon EDT.
