What Would A True "freedom Agenda" In Middle East Look Like?

“Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) said Sunday that he has met with President Joe Biden’s National Security adviser Jake Sullivan — and that the two administrations are working collaboratively on national security issues during the transition,” Politico reports. Said Waltz: “Jake Sullivan and I have had discussions, we’ve met. For our adversaries out there that think this is a time of opportunity, that they can play one administration off the other — they are wrong.”

Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) is not taking Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-S. C.) bait. In her first interview after Mace’s weeklong, social media–fueled campaign—which included nearly 300 posts on X—to ban her from the women’s bathroom in the House of Representatives offices, McBride showed how a member of Congress who is actually interested in governing, not grabbing headlines, acts. “I’m in Congress to deliver for my constituents, to make health care, housing, and child care more affordable,” McBride said in a Sunday interview on MSNBC’s The Weekend, adding that she plans to support pro-union legislation as well as bills focused on paid leave and affordable childcare.

The Atlantic: “Since Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022 and subsequently turned it into X, disaffected users have talked about leaving once and for all. Maybe they’d post some about how X has gotten worse to use, how it harbors white supremacists, how it pushes right-wing posts into their feed, or how distasteful they find the fact that Musk has cozied up to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump’s Cabinet appointees are not the only source of controversy in his transition back to the White House. On Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wrote the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), which manages the functioning of federal agencies, to warn that the Trump transition team has refused to sign memoranda of understanding with the Biden-Harris administration.

Or we could suppose that one got a pardon and the other one got elected by the slimmest popular vote margin since the 1800s. Matt Gaetz may be gone, but I'm sure he won't soon be forgotten. Meanwhile the Parade of Horribles marches on. An AG who takes bribes, a sexual assaulting SecDef, a DNI who is a Russian asset, and more. Happy Sunday before Thanksgiving!

Trump’s electoral victory has advanced the demise of MSNBC and CNN for good reason.
