Politics The GOP Trump Saved Us From: Hype Videos for Neocons Back then, Republicans aimed to impress DC elites, not conservative voters. (Screenshot/X) A curious video from 2016 went viral on X last week. It celebrated the freshman class of GOP senators as they completed their first two years in Congress. To the tune of “When the Saints Go Marching In,” the fresh-faced lawmakers march in unison around Capitol Hill. The propaganda clip shows the politicians working out, playing with hoverboards, wearing jeans in interviews, and other apparently humanizing moments. The production resembles that of a college football hype video. But rather than getting the audience excited to see their team win on Saturday, it’s designed to get…Open

How did Ben Sasse's political stance regarding Donald Trump evolve between 2016 and the aftermath of January 6?
In 2016, Ben Sasse was a vocal critic of Trump, calling him a racist and comparing the party's direction to that of David Duke while insisting on focusing on Russia and Syria rather than mass immigration; however, while he dialed down criticism during the Trump presidency, he returned to anti-Trumpism after January 6 and was one of seven Republican senators to vote to impeach Trump for that incident.

Photo by Vuk Valcic/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Allow me to make an embarrassing confession, one that pains me to write and may be painful for you to read: I think Ezra Klein is right. I rarely agree with Klein, a New York Times opinion columnist and living archetype of Liberal Media Elites. In fact, I’ve treated him as a punching bag—excuse me, a foil for my own views on immigration and other topics. But I do think he’s right—and that many on the right are dangerously wrong—about one increasingly important topic: artificial intelligence. And I think it’s important to say that…Open

He notes that currently, AIs are not acting reliably.

Foreign Affairs Foreign Affairs Three Presidents Pitch Their Wars at the UN Trump, Zelensky, and Pezeshkian each gave speeches worthy of reflection. Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images This week’s UN General Assembly brought attention-grabbing speeches from the presidents of the United States, Ukraine, and Iran. Each speech contained small moments that didn’t make it into the headlines, but deserve attention nonetheless. Let’s start with President Donald Trump’s speech , which swung like a wild pendulum between the ridiculous and the horrifying.  Ridiculously, Trump twice referred to the “51-year menace of Iranian terror.” The Islamic Republic of Iran was founded in 1979. Trump also said he would end the war in Ukraine…Open
