Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris will advance to the April 7th runoff to decide who will replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia, per AP . Why it matters: Harris, who lost to Greene in 2024, raised more than $4 million during his campaign. A win for Democrats in the reliably red district would be significant. - The race also is being closely watched because Republicans are operating with a razor-thin majority. - That's more problematic than ever for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) after Rep. Kevin Kiley (Calif.) announced this week that he's leaving the GOP to become an independent. Flashback: Despite previously being one of Trump's staunchest allies, Greene resigned from Congress in…

Foreign Affairs Appeasing Allies When perpetuating an alliance becomes its own end, danger is not far off. The concept of “appeasement” is something invoked by foes of diplomacy who are in love with making bad Second World War analogies and applying black-and-white absolutism to the nuances of geopolitics. But there is one place where the term might actually have some constructive purpose: not for giving in to rivals by practicing diplomacy, but for giving in to the demands of allies uncritically. Such appeasement does in fact exist and is indeed dangerous, but not in the way that most who deploy the term mean. Only defense…Open

Latin America Don’t Declare ‘Mission Accomplished’ in Venezuela Yet There are still lots of ways things could fall apart quickly. Americans, Venezuelans, and international observers alike were stunned by the daring night raid on Caracas that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, decapitating the government and demonstrating the absolute superiority of American arms and special operations units. The strongman was carted back to the United States in chains (and a surprisingly stylish outfit ) and literally paraded through the streets of New York City. Trump announced to the world that the U.S. would…Open
