Iran just fired a wave of ballistic missiles at Israel. What will happen in the Middle East next? We spoke to former ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad to get some ideas.

How will Kamala Harris handle the top national security threats facing America today, such as the war in Ukraine? What would her approach be? 

After over two years of war, is support for Ukraine delivering results in line with American global strategy?

Instead of whining about how badly he’s being treated, Trump would do well to recognize that he has only himself to blame for his current predicament.

With a leisurely event schedule and an apparent commitment to shutting down the government, Donald Trump cannot help but pile up unforced errors.

There was no time to waste. Former President Donald Trump sent out a fundraising appeal within hours of being targeted by an alleged shooter armed with an AK-47 named Ryan Wesley Routh at his golf course in West Palm Beach. Trump declared in his appeal, “I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.”

It wasn’t a study in sartorial contrasts—he wore blue, she wore black—but in emotional ones. Vice President Kamala Harris was calm and composed, playing the role of matador to former president Donald Trump’s bull. She twirled her rhetorical cape as he lunged and bellowed with rage, openly pining for his old antagonist, who could barely stumble into the ring during their standoff in June.

Who’s flip-flopping? Kamala Harris, who explained on CNN last night that she’s not opposed to fracking? Or Donald Trump, who seemed to suggest that he’ll vote to support abortion rights in Florida?

The problem is that Kamala Harris’ prudent refusal to offer many specific policy proposals and her sheer vivacity are rendering it difficult, if not impossible, for Donald Trump to demonize her.
