Sometimes it’s hard to avoid the thought that that America is just not serious people: “China has 39 universities with rare earths training programs while the United States has none.”https://t.co/8ZGk1rwW2o via @NYTimes

Hegseth to Asian allies: Let’s stick together; trust that Trump knows what he’s doing. Experts: Sorry, it’s not that simple. https://t.co/In6sfG4S8E

Macron and his wife in Vietnam. His response to the response and the ridiculous internet speculation surrounding him more generally. https://t.co/qYD1sYQavH
