Let’s be aware. To override Trump veto, the Senate will need about 13 Republicans to join Dems, and the House will need roughly 22. Does the Trump brand stink enough to make that happen?

We found more than 2 dozen cases where immigrants described use of force of the course of arrests, including 2 cases that named the same ICE agent, Brenden Cuni, who was accused being involved in two violent arrests where immigrants said they were beaten up and tased.
I’m finishing final revisions for my literary agent Gail Hochman on my novel about a tongue-tied 17-year-old classicist at Princeton in 1977 among the first women admitted to the all-male bastion.

What a poignant piece 💔 nybooks.com/online/2026/03/2…
Here’s a photo I took of the Tomb of Hafez, in Shiraz, Iran. A 14thC Persian poet, his grave is a cherished destination. This verse of his is on the tombstone: “On the day of my death, give me a minute’s time to set eyes on thee/Then, from the world and life, I will be set free.”

WSJ: Israeli intelligence officials began placing calls to individual commanders, threatening them and their families by name if they didn’t stand aside in the event of an uprising, according to people familiar with the matter.
Ordinary Iranians are sharing locations of regime hardliners, Revolutionary Guard offices & motorcycle squads. Some are camping in tents in forests north of Tehran. wsj.com/world/middle-east/is…

I’m fascinated by this exclusive interview by @fpleitgenCNN in Tehran where he’s the only western journo in all of Iran. He elicits some revealing details about the regime’s perspective I’ve not seen anywhere else. cnn.com/2026/03/09/middleeas…

CNN's Fred Pleitgen is back home in Germany, but says he wouldn't hesitate to return and do more reporting on topics still uncovered, like "to what extent the government still has the support of the people. Because there were very few people who were still out on the streets, and a lot of people are afraid to speak to you." theguardian.com/world/2026/m…
In the midst of the Israeli and American war in Iran, it’s important to remind ourselves of the rich beauty of Iran. I’ve stayed at this amazing hotel in Qazvin, its decor is more than just fascinating design, it’s a tribute to the ancient architecture of Persia.
With everything going on I just want to say, I think Iran is one of the most beautiful places on earth with near endless economic potential. People extremely industrious with a love for detail. On our way in and out of Iran we stayed at two amazing small boutique hotels. The Zanjan Boutique hotel and the Saraye Ghahramani boutique hotel in Qazvin, check them out.

I have immense respect for @vali_nasr and @MAliKadivar for their deep knowledge of Iran…
Must read piece by @MAliKadivar on the fantasy of liberation war. “In a revolutionary regime with entrenched coercive institutions and mobilized loyalist networks, external war is more likely to reinforce defensive cohesion than to trigger collapse.” substack.com/@alikadivar/not…

Fars News Agency quoting an informed official added that the final Assembly of Experts session to choose Iran’s next Supreme Leader could be postponed until after end of week’s funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The official says security measures for the meeting are being implemented at the highest possible level.
Iran’s Assembly of Experts is holding a final vote to select a new Supreme Leader following the US-Israeli assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Fars News Agency says meetings are taking place remotely under a revised voting mechanism, with the constitutional process “fully operational” and an announcement expected within hours or days.
