I Mean, Just — Yikes June 13, 2025 Unfolding as I type — Israel and Iran. My own view is that we never should have pulled out of the deal Obama struck with Iran. But even if I’m right, that’s spilt milk. Dare we hope Iran’s religious tyranny will be toppled and its people welcomed into a world of peace and prosperity? (And that Israel’s religious extremists will somehow loosen their grip?) Meanwhile, what otherwise would have been today’s lead story: Pete Buttigieg on the handcuffing of a United States Senator (100 seconds). In a related note: JD Vance lays out the plan (60 seconds). Have you found your Saturday peaceful protest? Click here! More than 2,000 of them are now planned. If the two I’ve attended recently are any guide, you’ll have fun and feel good about having joined in. No Kings! (Or as the Brits and some other countries with kings are styling their protests in sympathy with ours: “No Tyrants!”)
