With three weeks of observations since the Hamas genocide against Jews, we can now reflect with a more clear-eyed strategic approach.

Biden is using that money as leverage to handcuff Israel. Also, I share some nascent concern that Speaker Johnson has no appetite for a government shutdown fight and that we might actually have less leverage with him than with McCarthy. Finally, I provide some new statistics on how we are bankrupt as a nation.
