Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.



🇮🇷🇺🇸 Per Politico, a senior Gulf Arab official cut through the diplomatic theater with one of the most accurate assessments of the entire war: "Trump badly wants the war to end, but the Iranians are so far refusing to give him what he needs to save face and leave. And he does not seem to understand that they need to save face, too." This is the central deadlock that keeps every framework from closing. Both sides want out. Both sides need a politically defensible exit. Neither side fully grasps what the other needs to claim a win at home. For Trump, the win is about ending the war as the dealmaker who stopped Iran's nuclear program. For Iran, the win is about surviving the war as the regional power that withstood American military force. Both sides are right. Both sides have legitimate face-saving requirements.



Here's Biden Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg bragging about blocking the Spirit Airlines merger with JetBlue that would have saved the airline from bankruptcy. I don't think America has ever had a more incompetent Secretary of Transportation than Mayor Pete.
