Greetings from the Palm Springs airport. I’m heading to DC to emcee PolicyLink’s Summit 2026: We Are The Founders. It will be a bold gathering of people committed to actually building the United States that’s been promised and possible but never fully practiced.
While in town, I’ll make sure to not even look at the Reflecting Pool funny in case I catch a terrorism charge for side eye.
A few weeks ago, my YouTube algorithm served me up this quality piece of research and analysis by Johnny Harris. He’s got legit journalism experience and isn’t just mouthing off for engagement.
I found this video to be super educational. Considering we have started and ended war with Iran roughly 35 times in 2026 alone, it’s worth understanding more about this nation, its history, and how it’s moving today.
If you’ve come across similary-valuable context to explain the plethora of bullshit befalling us or highlighting ways out, please share!
