There has been no US ambassador to India for over 2 years. Relations haven't stalled -- quite the opposite -- but it is crucial for the US-India partnership & for mission morale to have an ambassador on the ground (esp in a yr India's G20 chair & major bilat visits are likely)

@RuleandRuin @AviWoolf I think a large part of the problem is on the cultural side. It is not that Democrats are "pushing" a culture per se. It is that the culture they are pushing has become inaccessible to large segments of society in a manner which has almost turned into a meme. Was struck by this

@nikicaga Anyone below senior staff level($143k) is allowed external income only with supervisor approval. If no one in Cardin's office was signing off on the Onlyfans(and this would be really postmodern if they did) he was in violation of ethics rules and more or less soliciting bribes

Obviously there are a million different experiences with a million different stories, but I have seen this tale time and again among graduates of my northeastern liberal arts college. Most importantly I have seen the political discourse change. And that change accelerate.

Parents of trans kids are part of the discussion as are kids who ID as trans, but random individuals who just happen to be trans are not. And really, teachers claiming that because they ID as "queer" or "trans" they have some special right to speak here comes off as out of line

The 14th Amendment was passed by an overwhelmingly Republican Congress amidst a near Civil War with Andrew Johnson. The idea they intended to strip Congress of core budgetary power and give it to a president they didn't want to be able to fire cabinet secretaries is absurd

If, however, a “deal” included untenable work requirements or rolled back aspects of the Inflation Reduction Act, a Democratic backlash would surely ensue, risking the default Biden had hoped to avoid.... Bottom line: Stop disparaging the 14th A option

@AviWoolf Greatest mistake the Right and Corporate America did was let the entire concept of "equality" and "civil rights" be hijacked by people who defined it as 1. Giving us money 2. Doing what we say 3. Doing leftwing stuff politically 4. Giving any member of X group whatever they want

If you were born in 1982 this was fine. If you were born in 1986-89 however, you graduated just as all that advice proved worthless. No you couldn't attend a rural school, take summers off camping instead of internships, study philosophy, then get finance spring of senior year

Slight sidenote: Iraq allowing its airspace to be used for this is considered an act of war under international law. Buried under the Kabul fiasco but Biden abandoning Al-Sadr two years ago handed Iraq and a $10 trillion investment to Tehran

What constituency is this supposed to appeal to? Not the Russians, who really are not the target audience for WWII Axis rehabilitation. Not the Chinese who wish we dropped 20 bombs not 2. Not even anime fans who the late Shinzo Abe told to drop this nonsense and get dates.

@ChristinaPushaw @libsoftiktok Leaving aside morality and hypocrisy, this gets them nowhere. They are employing the same in-group canceling/doxing tactics without the political air superiority that made them effective internally. Which just antagonizes and comes off as vicious and spiteful. Which tbf it is

It also feeds into a wider divide. Single young people, at least millenials tended to view government in terms of what it could do for them. Whereas those who are more established view it in terms of what it owes them. Some teachers may feel they work for an abstraction

@phl43 It's also possible he scared everyone including himself with how successful it was. He may not have wanted a revolution and the very level of popular support was disconcerting. What if he actually took Moscow?

This is incredibly whiny. More importantly there is not a shred of contrition. A number of leftwing writers and activists have tried to grapple with the reality of what Harvard and other institutions are actually doing. The facts of Harvard's system are irrelevent to Sotomayor

Those born by 1993 had both the foreknowledge they needed to adapt and the technological tools with which to do so. Older compatriots born outside the middle class knew they couldn't count on anything. But that specific cohort, overrepredented in politics and media got hit hard

@ASPertierra It was very clear the moment France/Britain intervened, Russia would denounce the Treaty of Paris and move on the Black Sea, and Austria/Prussia would mobilize. Napoleon created a powder keg in Europe which made an extended North American adventure impossible

Also a Kesselschlacht(cauldron battle) is a Prussian/German concept. Red army version avoided major cities and tried to trap enemy in open. So the claim seems to be that the Russians are trying to execute the traditional German military doctrine which would explain the confusion
