I have been out reporting on the real midterms fight in Trump's DC -- over whether to ban foie gras.

I also asked Waltz about the Russia-Ukraine talks. Waltz: "You know, a lot of people I think are criticizing the approach, but I haven't heard a better plan from anyone else."
Mike Waltz, #Trump’s ambassador to the UN, acknowledged in an interview w me this week that the US could still be mired in this Iran stalemate — without a deal on Tehran’s nuclear programme or a resolution on the Strait of Hormuz—a year from now. “I’m not going to put out hypotheticals. One would hope that they’ll come to the table in a meaningful way before that,” he said But “the president and the US Navy can maintain this blockade [on Iranian ports] for the foreseeable future,” and the administration is “tightening” its economic pressure campaign.

Maine is pivotal to the Democrats' hopes of retaking the Senate. I travelled to Somerset County to see whether their candidate, Troy Jackson, was cutting through. Hint: he's got work to do. as.ft.com/r/4f661a25-7a22-48… via @financialtimes
