“Mr. Trump’s approval on the economy has dropped across practically every group. But his cratering support among a loyal demographic that has served as the foundation of his political coalition for a decade has the potential to be among the most consequential developments of 2026” nytimes.com/2026/06/13/us/po…

OMG do people like David From actually exist? Literally not a single thing he wrote is true. Meantime Israelis mass rape and abuse Palestinian hostages and we see actual video this week of the IDF marching Gaza civilians in front of their tanks. Literal human shields. SMH

All you need to know about Jay Solomon, the Likudnik media minion who most recently attempted to criminalize Trita Parsi
Mar 29
Jay Solomon, the author of this smear piece, was fired by the Wall St Journal after he was exposed for doing business with a CIA arms trafficker, Farhad Azima
Solomon served as a middle man between the UAE and Azima on a $725 million contract to spy on Iran
Solomon’s work with the Free Press, an Israeli propaganda cutout, appears consistent with the sordid activity that saw him use legitimate journalism as a cover for lucrative spy dealings
But it’s also more pathetic, as he’s been reduced to criminalizing a young American woman, Calla Walsh, for antiwar activity that clearly falls under the First Amendment protected speech

Applebaum’s “liberal language:”
Jun 12
Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology.
China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

“They are targeting Hezbollah”
Jun 11
This needs to be said loud and clear.
Israel is not attacking Lebanon. They are targeting Hezbollah. An Iranian funded terror proxy that has struck Israel 2,000 times since the April ceasefire.
Israel has every right to defend itself. Don’t fall for the Iranian regime’s distraction.

With Tulsi Gabbard's new revelations about US bio labs in many countries around the world including Ukraine, it's fascinating recall the bizarre series of events that gave rise to this controversy in the first place:
In May of 2022, some of us began asking whether the US had bio labs in Ukraine, what they were for, and why the US had them there. For asking those questions, we were instantly branded as "pro-Russian conspiracy theorists" in official Ukrainian intel reports, on our Wikipedia pages, by countless media outlets, etc. This was and remains one of the most bizarre episodes I've ever seen.
Before May 2022, when we asked those questions, barely anyone had ever thought about let alone asked about "bio weapons in Ukraine"! I certainly hadn't. Like most people, I had never mentioned a word about it because it had never occurred to me we had them there.
But then, Marco Rubio summoned Victoria Nuland to the Senate and asked her in a televised hearing under oath about these "rumors," clearly expecting her to immediately debunk them as obvious Kremlin lies and to proclaim the US had no such bio labs in Ukraine.
Instead, Nuland did the opposite! She *confirmed* key aspects of these "rumors," and she explicitly warned that the US has several "bio research labs" in Ukraine that are so dangerous that they must not be allowed to fall into Russia's hands.
When some of us heard Nuland's rather shocking admission -- the first-ever disclosure about these labs -- we of course asked: wait! what? Why does the US have bio labs in Ukraine, and what are the US and Ukraine doing in those labs that make them (in Nuland's eyes) so dangerous?? (Note: nobody ever suggested that the presence of these bio labs in Ukraine justified the Russian invasion; we just wanted answers about these US bio labs that Nuland had casually divulged).
We never got real answers. We got smear campaigns. To this day, our names are formally attached to claims that we spread "conspiracy theories" for asking about these labs even though it was Victoria Nuland herself who was the one who accidentally revealed them for the first time in a Senate hearing in response to a shocked Marco Rubio. They then quickly tried shutting down any questioning by pretending that Nuland never said this, and it was just a bunch of paid Kremlin mouthpieces who were spreading lies.
You see the same tactics now being against Tulsi for releasing this new intelligence report. Watch the Nuland testimony in question:
Jun 12
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Israel would continue to occupy southern Lebanon regardless of whether Hezbollah existed or not.
Their goal is territorial expansion and Judaification through the Greater Israel Project, as Jewish Currents documents:
🇱🇧 NEW: Lebanon Foreign Minister Joe Raggi insists the “Lebanon issue must be separated from the Iran issue,” rejecting any efforts from Iran to stop Israeli attacks on Beirut’s behalf.
“We do not accept that anyone negotiate on our behalf or sign agreements in our name. That would inevitably be to our detriment,” Raggi told Le Figaro on Friday. The remarks came after Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Friday that any agreement with the United States was conditional on an end to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
“It is also a matter of the country’s sovereignty and the independence of our decisions,” said Raggi, who was appointed to his position by PM Salam in 2025.
“Moreover, the courageous decision of the president of the republic to negotiate directly with Israel, under U.S. auspices, has proven that we can pursue an independent path,” he added.
🎥 The Foreign Minister also launched a sweeping attack on both Iran and Hezbollah in an interview with France’s LCI two days ago, accusing Tehran of having “spread chaos, terror and instability throughout the Middle East and even across the world” while holding the Iranian people “hostage” under a regime that “has no remorse about massacring its own people.”
Raggi said Hezbollah had “dragged Lebanon into a war that has nothing to do with us,” describing it as “an armed arm of Iran” used to “control Lebanon and destabilize the entire Middle East.” “Hezbollah’s weapons are useless,” he said, and claimed the group “could neither liberate Jerusalem, nor support Gaza, and not even defend Lebanon.”

“Unlike past mergers such as Comcast's 2011 takeover of NBCUniversal, this one comes with no reported strings attached, as the government did not impose any divestitures, behavioral remedies, or concessions after its review.
Axios reported last Tuesday that Bari Weiss, the editor-in-chief of CBS News, would likely oversee editorial decisions at CNN as well, once the merger is completed. Puck, which first broke the news of Weiss’ hiring at Paramount in July 2025, reported that David Ellison was “smitten by Bari's unwavering support of Israel and preoccupation with the rise of antisemitism.”

“That Jay Solomon and The Free Press would play this role, wittingly or unwittingly, should surprise no one. Solomon was fired from The Wall Street Journal in 2017 over his financial involvement in arms deals with a businessman who was also one of his key sources.”

I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.
At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.
Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.
So here’s what I think happened.

Trump needs a deal!
This war has been a disaster for his standing, including with young republicans.
Though he was 9pt over Kamala in 2024, he is now facing a foreign policy net approval of -40pt
And with young GOP on foreign policy, he is -14pt on the Iran War!

Always amazing to hear this from people who encouraged Trump to tear up a nuclear deal with which Iran was verifiably complying. Iran hawkism is based largely on projection, requires psychoanalysis to understand.

When it comes to the Islamic Republic, a piece of paper is worthless.
We need to open the Strait and make sure Iran can never get a nuclear weapon. If we can achieve those objectives, Americans will be infinitely safer - and will have President Trump to thank.
