    Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for whom my wife Caroline clerked & who married us 25 years ago, was an extraordinary trailblazer, a fighter and an inspiration Our thoughts are with her family and all those she lifted. RIP #rbg

    When the Trump admin took office, Iran had ~102kg of enriched uranium. That stockpile is now nearly 2.5 tons. Maximum pressure is a success in the same universe in which the administration is now preparing for a 2d term yhoo.it/35jlGA8

    Powerful piece. "Osama bin Laden’s strategic logic was to embroil the United States in a never-ending conflict. ..Why are we continuing to do what Bin Laden wanted all along?"

    For those who have followed the Iranian nuclear file, there is nothing new in Bibi's presentation. All it does is vindicate need for the nuclear deal But the Israeli prime minister has an audience of one: Trump And he's unfortunately unlikely to reach the same conclusion.

    Things that help prevent a nuclear weapon: Limiting enrichment, reducing centrifuges, international inspections. Things that do not help prevent a nuclear weapon: Leaving an agreement that did all those things, Twitter quotes in bold font.

    Forty years ago, I graduated from high school with @ABlinken It’s not only his looks that have barely changed. He was warm, compassionate, empathetic then, as he is now. So happy for him & his wonderful family So happy for us all.

    Not privy to intel, but officials seem to be walking back claim of imminent attack Plus as I told ⁦@washingtonpost⁩, “If the attack was going to take place when Soleimani was alive, it’s difficult to comprehend why it wouldn’t now that he’s dead” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
