While it’s necessary to focus on children concentration camps, the reality is that our policy discussion has been hijacked. The border crisis is a myth. Immigration has been falling. Doesn’t hurt wages or increase crime. It isnt in the top 100 serious challenges for our country.

This was not a U-Turn. Full-length family detention is what the administration has said it wants since before it implemented zero-tolerance, and now it is working toward having both. x.com/yascha_mounk/s…

Trump's plan to meet Putin immediately before or after the NATO summit is a slap in the face to the alliance, whose mission centers largely around deterring Russian aggression. And that's probably just as Trump intended. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Can we please stop using the word "tough" to describe Donald Trump's immigration policy? If you need an adjective, try "inhumane" itv.com/news/2018-06-2…

This Messi performance reminds me of Eto'o for Cameroon: alongside players far worse than him, dropping deeper and deeper to get the ball, ending up too far away from where he can cause damage

Today is the 80th anniversary of #Kristallnacht. A personal story: My grandfather fought in WWII. He never spoke about it, so we didnt know much about his time in the service, but based on the patches on his uniform, we think he did something in intel.

Europeans who think right wing populism can be "solved" by reductions in immigration should have a look at America - a country Clinton does not understand - where Trump was elected in the wake of a decline in illegal immigration by people in states with few illegal immigrants.

For The Observer I wrote about Israel, Iran and the new age of impunity (essentially, why this really is as scary as it looks): observer.co.uk/news/politics/…
