I think the op-ed genre is bad in general but this is still remarkable even by that standard, assuming both Ezra Klein op-eds were genuine.

Iran? Attack a US embassy? Who could possibly imagine such a thing.
If a country attacked a US embassy, what would we expect the US to do in response? And would that be legitimate? Are Iranians permitted to do the same when their own embassy is attacked? Or do we adopt one standard for ourselves and another for "enemies"?

It’s surprisingly common for people to rebrand time series analysis as regression discontinuity analysis
I don't have a strong opinion on how much TikTok sways public opinion net-net; any answer from "really quite a lot" to "it all comes out in the wash" seems plausible. But there will be some fun regression discontinuity analyses that one can do if it gets banned.

Unfortunate timing by Columbia obviously—picking a literal baroness whose management experience was limited to institutions without America’s robust culture of campus free speech probably made more sense last summer than it does now.
“When asked to characterize the protests, Chief John Chell said the ‘clear and present danger’ was identified by Columbia, not by the NYPD. The NYPD reported no violence or injuries associated with the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment.’”

This is of course a de minimis number compared to the costs inflicted by DC’s crime wave on victims and their families, home and business owners, and the public sector—for which council member Allen bears significant responsibility.
According to DC Bd of Elections & Ofc of Campaign Finance the special elections will cost about $2.2M. And, if successful, the Ward 6 seat and constituent services staff will be empty until filled, close to 6 months.

Hard not to chuckle at “Leading Catholic postliberals… [f]or years on Twitter (2017-22)… acted as unified faction.”
People are dunking on Ahmari for changing his political views again. But don’t miss its broader significance. Leading Catholic postliberals seem to have gone their separate ways. For years on Twitter (2017-22), they acted as unified faction. No longer.
