U.S. Presses Other Muslim Nations to Establish Ties With Israel
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Sudan and Bahrain, and an American
delegation will accompany Israelis on the first direct commercial flight
between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi.
I will be shocked if there is peace.

National Conventions: The Impeachment Battle Rematch That Wasn’t
Six months after President Trump’s Senate trial, what was once seen as the
battle of a generation has essentially vanished from the political
landscape, all but unmentioned at either party’s convention.
The goal is the removal of Trump and his supporters.

Confronting a Powerful Democrat, Ocasio-Cortez Supports Morse
In using her political action committee to endorse Alex Morse in
Massachusetts, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backed an effort to
oust Representative Richard E. Neal, the powerful Ways and Means Committee
chairman.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be heard.

The R.N.C.’s Not-So-Subtle Undertones
The convention’s first night was a continuation of President Trump’s
divisive culture war message.

They spoke.

Airline Job Cuts Could Pressure Congress and Trump on Stimulus
American Airlines said it would furlough 19,000 workers if lawmakers do not
extend aid to the industry, which has been hammered by the pandemic.
There might be some stimulus. There will be no relief.
The problem is demand failure.

Immigration Agency Averts Work Force Furloughs, but Deep Cuts Loom
Plunging revenue from immigration fees nearly forced U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services to furlough more than two-thirds of its work force.
Now cuts will come from its operations.
Immigration is not popular with the Trump administration.

G.O.P. TV Ratings Fall Below Democrats, Despite Fox News’s Big Night
About 17 million tuned in on the Republican convention’s first night,
compared with 19.7 million for the Democrats. Close to half of TV viewers
at 10 p.m. were watching Fox News.
I have no plan to watch the Republican national convention.

Melania Trump Returns to Speak at the RNC, Despite Keeping a Low Profile
The first lady rarely makes public speeches. Allies say this means when she
does speak, people are primed to listen.

Lezmond Mitchell faces the death penalty for his part in the 2001 murder of
a Navajo woman and her 9-year-old granddaughter, a case that has raised
issues about tribal sovereignty.
The tribal sovereignty question is real. There should be a stay to properly
consider the question.

Why the G.O.P. Punted on a New Party Platform for the 2020 R.N.C.
The Republican National Committee dispensed with producing a new platform,
instead renewing what delegates enacted in 2016 and offering wholehearted
support for President Trump, whose campaign also released a 50-point plan
outlining “core priorities.”
"“The Republican Party has and will continue to enthusiastically support the president’s America-first agenda,” reads the resolution, adopted this past weekend in Charlotte, N.C., just before the start of the Republican National Convention.
Most
of what is on that agenda also remains a mystery — and is subject to
change. Several times this summer, Mr. Trump has been asked by friendly
Fox News hosts to articulate his second-term priorities, and he has
regularly failed to reveal his plans."

Pompeo to Deliver R.N.C. Speech From Israel With Eye on 2024
No sitting secretary of state has addressed a national political convention
in at least 75 years.
Pompeo spoke on tape.
14
The Democrats Are United to Fight Trump, Tensions on Policy Are Looming
The Democratic National Convention showcased Joe Biden’s goals on issues
like health care, climate change and the economy. But there is plenty of
daylight between his plans and what progressives want to see.
The Democratic party is a coalition.

Can Love Survive This Election?
The presidential race is in full swing, and more couples (some on the left,
some on the right) are finding themselves fighting about politics.
Yes, love survives.

Day 2 of the G.O.P. Convention: Schedule, Speakers and How to Watch
The event’s second night will feature Melania Trump, Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo and Senator Rand Paul.
I will not watch.
I am not a masochist.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the R.N.C.'s Woman in Red
The Reagans’ favorite color will never be the same after her speech at the
Republican National Convention.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
She did not intend socialist iconography.

Revisionist History at the R.N.C.
On the first night of the Republican National Convention, speaker after
speaker tried to revise reality.
The Republican party has a sanguine view.

Trump’s Fights Are Their Fights. They Have His Back Unapologetically.
Many supporters of President Trump said in interviews that he had succeeded
on issues that matter to them. And they dismissed as unimportant the
behavior that critics say makes him unfit for office.
From 2016 Trump has demanded personal loyalty.

RNC Night 1: Watch the Moments That Mattered
Two of our reporters break down highlights from the first night (and
afternoon) of the Republican National Convention.
I will not watch these sequences willingly.
