Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) sworn in on Jan. 6, 2015. CREDIT: AP Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has laid out his alternative to the Obama administration’s ongoing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program: Tehran must completely capitulate or face military force. Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe one day after Bloomberg news reported that he spearheaded a letter to the government of Iran warning the Persian leaders that any deal they strike with the United States and its international partners will not last past the Obama administration, Cotton described his preferred course for preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon: “complete nuclear disarmament by Iran.” Pressed by co-host Willy Geist over the improbability of such a demand — after all, even George W.

Don’t Expect Donald Trump to Tackle America’s Record Homelessness
Mother Jones, Sunday - 12/29/2024 - 06:23 PM
Homelessness in America reached the highest level on record last year, according to new data released by the Department of Housing and Urban Development—and it will likely only get worse, in light of both a Supreme Court decision issued in June and President-elect Donald Trump’s forthcoming presidency. The annual report—which estimates the number of people staying in shelters, temporary housing, and on the streets on a single night—found more than 770,000 people experiencing homelessness on a single night this past January, up 18 percent from a night in January 2023.

Sununu told Bash he liked that Musk is an “outsider”—an interesting choice of words—who is “not looking for anything.” When she challenged that notion, he responded, “The guy is worth $450 billion” and therefore is “so rich he’s removed from the potential financial influence.” “I don’t think he’s doing it for the money,” Sununu said.

Elon Musk Doubles Down on His Support for Germany’s Ultra-Right Party

Elon Musk is nothing if not shameless. He proved that again this weekend, when he published an op-ed in one of Germany’s biggest newspapers, Die Welt, doubling down on his earlier support for the racist, far-right political party Alternative for Germany (AfD). In the op-ed—reportedly published online Saturday and in print Sunday—Musk writes that the AfD is “the last spark of hope for this country” and, essentially, that his vast wealth makes his politics a matter of public interest.
