Hawk took two days away from the news and social media, and came back to find the cycle essentially unchanged. Trump again threatened and then stepped back from action on Iran, floated imminent talks, and Iran again said no talks were scheduled, the same loop Hawk says has repeated for months with predictable effects on the markets. His larger message is simple: stepping away is worth it, because very little actually shifts in a couple of days.
On the substance, Hawk, a trial attorney, breaks down Todd Blanche's attempt to save his committee vote by signing a one-page rescission of the roughly 1.78 billion dollar settlement fund. His argument is that the rescission is legally ineffective: the underlying settlement is a contract, its own terms require any modification to be in writing and signed by all parties, and this document carries only Blanche's signature. Under basic contract principles, Hawk says, that changes nothing.
He also previews Tuesday's primaries, with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed holding a double-digit polling lead over Haley Stevens in Michigan, a DSA candidate positioned to win a governor's primary in Washington, and a progressive-versus-establishment contest between Wesley Bell and Cori Bush in Missouri. Hawk closes by encouraging people to take a break, describing a morning by a mountain lake and an accidental eight-mile hike.
