  • “The United States has attacked Iran. Just days after suggesting he might delay any American military action for weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on June 21 that U.S. aircraft had struck three Iranian nuclear sites, including the deeply buried facility at Fordow. Iranian officials confirmed that the strikes had taken place. … .The American attack could indeed lead to Iranian capitulation on terms friendly to Israel and the United States. But it is equally or even more likely to draw the United States deeper into the war with profoundly negative consequences.” Foreign Affairs
  • “The Supreme Court ruling barring judges from swiftly blocking government actions, even when they may be illegal, is yet another way that checks on executive authority have eroded as President Trump pushes to amass more power. … The Supreme Court is effectively tying the hands of lower-court judges at a time when they are trying to respond to a steady geyser of aggressive executive branch orders and policies.” NY Times
  • Mamdani’s Success in Mayoral Primary Reverberates Beyond New York City While Zohran Mamdani looks ahead to the general election, national Democrats search for lessons ahead of the midterms and Republicans see a new political target.” NY Times
