I have hesitated to quote more than 2 paragraphs but I think my contract that allows full quotation only after 30 days applies to my paid work, not my free work. So I’ll take the chance and quote the whole thing. As you note in your editorial “RFK Jr. Conducts His Vaccine Purge” (June 11), HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired the 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices over a charge of conflicts of interest. He’s provided no evidence of…

As the conflict between Israel and Iran enters a fourth day, there’s no clear path to an off-ramp. Israel seems set to make the most of a moment where Iran is historically weak, and Tehran, even while weakened, is looking to show the region—and its own people—that it won’t let Israel’s attacks go unpunished. On the latest episode of FP Live, I spoke with Vali Nasr, an Iranian American academic who has advised several U.S. administrations on Middle East policy. Nasr’s latest book is Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History. Subscribers can watch our discussion on the video box atop…

Do you remember Donald Trump’s first presidential announcement speech, made 10 years ago today? He entered the room via a Trump Tower escalator ride with wife Melania. He insulted Mexicans as rapists bringing drugs and crime, belatedly noting “some, I assume, are good people.” He described the U.S. as the loser laughingstock of the world, and said he would use his deal-making prowess to land better trade deals, fix immigration, repeal Obamacare and stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
