2 days ago | inthesetimes.com | Hamilton Nolan

Hamilton Nolan June 25, 2025 Mostly, in politics, good things don’t happen. Let’s be honest. Most of the time, the candidates are dishonest, and the issues are distractions, and the person with the most money wins. Sometimes, though, there is a reason for inspiration. And — even more rarely — there is a reason to believe that things are changing. You can feel the gears of history moving. You can feel the tectonic plates of normalcy begin to quaver and slip.

Israel’s attack on Iran last week has opened a stark danger — a predictable pattern of escalation ushering in a new phase of the long-standing crises roiling the Middle East region. Certainly Israel has a long history of attacking Iran — including bombing raids; assassinations of political and military leaders as well as nuclear scientists; cyberattacks; assaults on Iranian allies in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and beyond — and Iran has on occasion struck back.

“Let me start by saying I don’t know the answer to that question.” Jake Auchincloss, a young patrician Congressman from Massachusetts, was on a ballroom stage in the Hamilton Hotel in downtown DC, trying to respond to a question about what story the centrist wing of the Democratic Party had to tell. Here, I thought, was a man who had gotten to the heart of the matter. Honesty is the best policy.

In the ashes of the liberal world order, a new political era is being born, with all of its ensuing confusion, chaos and pain. We are under attack, and our resistance is fledgling, at best.
