President Trump is masterful at destabilizing the Status Quo at home and abroad. The still unanswered question is whether here, in Iran, Venezuela and likely in Cuba, he will even try to build or even encourage anything institutional or political of lasting value to the various nations affected.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's killing shatters “a precedent that had been sustained for decades by a mix of moral, political, and logistical concerns,” @TimNaftali argues: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

We are in a new world if the assassination of foreign leaders of powerful states becomes relatively doable.

The US had hoped to kill Gaddafi in its air campaign in Libya in 1986. This is the first time that an air strike in which we participated has killed a foreign leader. No tears from me for Khamenei but this is a first in international affairs.

We can secure our borders and still show basic humanity. CBP released a blind father from custody and left him to find his way home alone. He never made it. New Yorkers deserve answers and accountability.

This is another hard story to read—about this survivor of a faraway genocide who then apparently became a victim of official neglect here. The investigation needs to run its course but it is already another tragedy linked to the cruel disruption in towns and cities created by the heartless Trump/Miller industrial deportation project.

The death of a nearly blind refugee in Buffalo, New York, days after Border Patrol agents dropped him off at a coffee shop alone, has prompted an investigation into the circumstances of his final days and drawn sharp criticism from the mayor, who called the incident "deeply disturbing." cnn.it/4kVrZ23

How awesome is this. Sid’s out for a month. And here he is at the Penguins youth clinic. Volunteering his time. Taping a kid’s stick. What a class act. Best hockey ambassador there is.

Donald Trump’s authoritarian hold on US politics has been based on a number of factors, one of which is widespread disappointment and anger with how things have turned out for average Americans since 9/11. Trump didn’t create that feeling: he tapped into it and then whipped it into even more anger. His predominant narcissism makes it impossible for him to pivot when that disappointment/anger is turned towards him by “his people.” (According to his way of thinking). Tonight’s SOTU address will likely highlight Trump’s lack of tools to manage this huge leadership challenge. He doesn’t know how to persuade or unify and doesn’t care. He will likely double down and accelerate the fraying of his electoral coalition.

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/bli…

Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine. Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage. 
Two colours, burning with resistance. Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever Slava Ukraini.
