WELKER: If there is a war powers vote, will you be a yes?

SEN. MARK KELLY: Well, I'm gonna have to take a close look at it. I want to hear from the White House what their strategy is going forward. I would say at this point it's rather unlikely that I would be.

Cuba Is Next Trump’s campaign to take out long-standing U.S. irritants looks back to the Caribbean.

Seeing regime change as a new way to define his legacy, President Trump is already eyeing his next target: Cuba. Vivian Salama reports:

Iran Goes to War Against the Arabs Countries such as Saudi Arabia once wondered whether Tehran could be appeased and contained. Now they do not.

No Arab autocracy wanted to choose between Iran and the United States—but one factor made the decision easier, and a second made it inevitable, @gcaw.bsky.social argues.

Trump Spent Years Denouncing U.S. Intervention. Now He’s Toppling Foreign Leaders. The operation in Iran marked a sharp reversal for a president whose political rise was fueled by American fatigue with regime change.

Trump spent years denouncing U.S. military interventions. Now he’s toppled two foreign leaders—and has Cuba in his sights.

Only a fraction of House seats are competitive. Redistricting is driving that lower Primary voters in a small number of districts play an outsized role in deciding who wins Congress. The Trump-initiated mid-decade redistricting is driving that number of competitive seats even lower.

Despite Trump’s SOTU and MAGA pressure, Sen. Maj. Leader Thune in no hurry to change filibuster, vote on SAVE America Act “There isn’t support for doing that at this point,” he said.

In the wake of Trump’s calls on the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act during his State of the Union address, conservative activists and the bill’s backers are doubling down on their pressure campaign on Democratic Majority Leader John Thune.

But he won't budge. Why?

Soulless ⤵️

Wait and see on this. Could be anything

Are we about to enter a forever war with boots on the ground?

Home insurance is a HUGE cost for so many families, and getting worse fast!!

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.
