Did a livestream for the latest episode of the pod, covering a range of national security and political issues from a critical perspective:
The RAND Corporation just cut 11% of staff—a further sign of a crisis of capital accumulation.
The CIA is (maybe) rethinking China.
The Trump administration is accelerating decoupling from China, which is an own-goal.
Progressives and antiwar organizations send an open letter to Trump about detente with China.
Graham Platner’s tattoo is getting way too much attention, and also the reason he’ll beat Susan Collins.
Steve Bannon says Trump will be president in 2028, despite it being unconstitutional.
