Andrew Miller was a senior official in the Biden administration, working on Israel-Palestine. Today, FA publishes his call for a dramatic reshaping of U.S.-Israeli relations: ending the "exceptional" relationship and replacing it with a "normal" one.

Surprising that none of these folks picked the song "Harvest," which would be my answer. Some other songs from the record with that title appear, as does "Harvest Moon." But no "Harvest."

Has anyone ever made a strong case, grounded in data and empirical evidence, that Bill de Blasio's *pre-Covid* record as mayor was bad? Curious to know what metrics one would use to make that case.

Presidents have the right to fire general officers and have done so in the past. But there is no precedent for the rapid dismissal of so many senior officers without any real explanation, evidence of failings, or misconduct. This looks like an attempt to install compliant leaders.

When it comes to foreign policy, Trump isn't a restrainer, or a realist, or a hawk: he's a popularist. He likes to associate himself with what he sees as strength, success, and winningâand his genius is understanding how to make people feel they are "with the winners." 1/3

On Trump's reaction to Israeli strike on Iran: he likes to associate himself with "success" and he likes "winners." So if he thinks the strikes went/are going well, he'll back them and take some credit. If he thinks they aren't, he'll distance himself and blame others.

A related point: the aesthetics and theatrics of left-wing protest have barely changed since the 1990s. It all still looks like the Battle of Seattle. Something to consider, in addition to the need for innovation when it comes to attention-grabbing nonviolence.
