Today's Recommended Links

I think I may start doing one of these posts every day:

• Steve Clemons on playing good cop, bad cop, and crazy cop with the Iranians.
• John Judis forecasts big wins for Democrats in the Senate.
• Jonathan Cohn tries to look more closely at whether getting hitched really makes the household division of labor more unequal.
• Jessica Valenti reads The LA Times on Black Best Friends in movies and television.
• James Wimberley on Texan Green Socialism.

Also, Team USA crushes Argentina. Maybe someday we'll even learn how to beat their starters.
