Briefings
The author reflects on a historic week marked by the wife Dana's public lecture on the Unique Games Conjecture at UT Austin, which coincided with a US election where Democrats recaptured Congress. The text also discusses a recent election in Israel, noting the need for a coalition between moderate Jewish and Arab parties to topple Netanyahu, while acknowledging the moral and political complexities of such a move. The author expresses frustration with online comments and apologizes for not engaging in dialogue.
Key points

- The US election resulted in Democrats recapturing both houses of Congress, with the author noting the difficulty of achieving this without selling out to anti-Trump forces.
