No longer posting on this site, but did want to announce that I am now being represented by Chartwell Speakers. For speaking engagements, contact John Bute at john@chartwellspeakers.com.

This will be my last post here. I hope some of you will follow me @stephenwalt.bsky.social The more people abandon this particular hotbed of misinformation, trolling, and algorithmic manipulation, the better for all.

In this crisis, the US policy has been unwaveringly pathetic veering towards morally and politically bankrupt.

After they will retire, prominent Biden administration's negotiators in the Israel-Hamas will write in their memoirs how Netanyahu thwarted each and every reasonable deal. DON'T! You have two months to still prove that you'r worth: enforce a deal on Netanyahu.

Why would Congress hand the President-Elect a new weapon to crush law-abiding American nonprofits? My new piece explains why a counterterrorism bill the House is voting on this week is unnecessary, lacks basic safeguards, and is at alarming risk of abuse:

"We're doing everything we can to secure a ceasefire" the lying liars of the Biden admin tell us -- latest from UNSC ceasefire negotiations:"the US does not want the text to include CF (ceasefire) language, nor any mention of Chapter VII language according to our sources. Both CF

Noam Chomsky's latest book is not perfect, but it tells you more about US foreign policy than a lot of the pablum that US officials write to justify their actions.

Proud to contribute the lead essay to this wide-ranging collection on America's position in the world. My contribution argues US can remain the world's leading power if it acts wisely, but Trump's return casts real doubt on whether it will.

Marco Rubio's greatest asset as future US SecState is how far @SecBlinken lowered the bar.

What factors led to Donald Trump's decisive victory, and how did patriarchal bias and shifting political demographics play a role? Find out in the new Democracy in Question podcast w/ @ShaliniRanderia and @stephenWalt 🎧 https://t.co/I2O9LA2ZBP @GVAGrad @GVAGrad_AHDC

Looking at Trump's national security picks, seems like he's going for people who lack the standing, authority, backbone, or wisdom to stand up to him, no matter what he decides to do. #TeamofLackeys

$850M from 7 people. What a broken political system.

TODAY: Congress is voting on a bill that would give Trump sweeping power to destroy any nonprofit that disagrees with him. Pro-Palestine groups would be especially vulnerable H.R. 9495 needs a 2/3 majority to pass the House, so it's up to Democrats whether it passes or not.

Some people are missing the point. Democrats didn't lose because Harris campaigned with Liz Cheney. But Democrats may have lost because they became the kind of party that thought that campaigning proudly with a Cheney was a good idea.

A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.

This is terrifying. Congress is set to vote tomorrow on a law giving the Treasury Department authority to deem any nonprofit organization to be “terrorist supporting," without explanation or evidence. On that basis, it can revoke its tax-exempt status. https://t.co/EcnZMLZz7m

Not like there were no warnings👇🙄

On November 5, I gave a lecture on building a better world order at @IWM. Some of my thoughts have been overtaken by the results of that day, but some of you may still find it interesting.

This is a massive media scandal. @SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam. It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism. They then deleted it. This is the original. https://t.co/RsdN9ULiKQ
