Hot Takes Happy Hour 🍸
Join Elise & Dany today at 5:00 pm ET to take the edge off the week's news
If you've stumbled across our collaborative posts, you already know the amazing
and her substack.We don’t always agree, per Elise, but we have a vibe: Argue, laugh, analyze, and sometimes, magically, sync up. The critical factor is respect, honesty, and a genuine desire to understand the other’s perspective. That’s the way it should be, and as usual, debate goes best with a cocktail. (recipe below)
Haven't subscribed to #Cosmopolitics yet? Get yourself over there. Elise is witty, mordant, and, I can’t better her prose, “as sharp and biting as the lemon twist in your martini.”
We're delighted to announce our weekly Substack Live: Happy Hour Hot Takes, premiering today at 5pm ET. This is the break you deserve.
On Our Global Menu:
Netanyahu's Washington walkabout
Iran talks (nuclear physics pairs wonderfully with whiskey)
Tariff whiplash that would make any economist reach for the bottle
Elise’s latest (crossposted at The Preamble): The Growing Divide on Trump’s Team

Ms. Pletka and Ms. Labott,
How serious can any deal be with countries and nations that fundamentally want us dead? At least the Soviets wanted to assimilate us. Take care.
