Donald Trump’s “20-Point Plan” could provide a path to end the Gaza genocide, but it is limited by a lack of details and the uncertainty of whether the U.S. is willing to enforce it on Israel.

I wrote about the Bari Weiss take over of CBS News as part of a broader trend away from the pretense of liberal institutionalism into a genuinely post-reality tabloidism, marked by AI slop, unsophisticated Trumpian-Likudite propaganda and consolidation of traditional and social media.
