Read ⁦@wrmead’s⁩ excellent review of the important new book “Toxic Politics” by ⁦@YanzhongHuang⁩ of ⁦@CFR_org⁩. Better yet, read the book, which connects China’s environmental policy & the country’s health, its economy, and its politics. https://t.co/22TxzyQdxY

Good discussion on Saudi Arabia on ⁦@Morning_Joe⁩. The Kingdom acting contrary to its self-interest consistent w the theme of Barbara Tuchman’s The March of Folly. US-Saudi ties will come to resemble US ties with Turkey & become coldly transactional https://t.co/hzsNuikYEV

Yascha Mounk

First time in the 101 years of @CFR_org that the question asked whether a hot dog is a sandwich. I say not, as sandwich requires horizontal, parallel bread. But points to @Yascha_Mounk for raising it while launching his new book "The Great Experiment". https://t.co/4dor2gDQi1

Matti Friedman

It has been a Leonard Cohen weekend (other than the heat & golf). Saw the powerful film "Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song," & listened to @bariweiss fascinating convo w Matti Friedman, author of "Who By Fire," on @thehonestlypod. Authentic is what comes to mind.
