"While Trump’s goal at the beginning of the war was unclear and ever-changing, it is no such thing now, as the Iranians have now determined what Trump’s goal must be: sending America’s sons and daughters to sacrifice their lives in the name of cheap gas."

"As long as Trump believes he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants, however, the Iranians have him over a barrel. And with oil prices currently at their highest since 2023, the American middle class is going to burn up as long as he’s over it."

Before the war, 35% to 40% of Republicans supported military action against Iran per polls. So what is that number a few weeks into the war after Americans have been killed, gasoline prices have shot up and inflation is rising?
Are you ready? Ninety percent of people who are self-described as MAGA now say they support Trump’s war per an NBC News poll."

"Only nine percent of MAGA opposes it. In addition, beyond MAGA, the broader GOP base is overwhelmingly on board with this war. For example, while a new Quinnipiac Poll found only 40% of Americans support Trump’s iran war--among the GOP that number shoots up to 85%. ...
What you are seeing is a reminder that MAGA is fascist movement that is a danger to our democratic Republic."

"Joe Kent’s resignation shows that Trump’s illegal war in Iran is creating a fissure within the MAGA upper ranks, but don’t expect many others to quit soon."

"Discord in MAGA-world and resignations from this administration are indeed good. But Kent's letter blames Israel in a she-made-him-do-it way: 'It's clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.'"

Two stories erupted in the last twenty-four hours that have to do with antisemitism. One is deeply positive. It's a letter signed by 132 Jewish faculty and staff at UCLA rejecting the Trump Administration's definition of antisemitism while pointing out what's dangerous about this right-wing definition of antisemitism: it's an
"Kent’s letter, for all its patriotic rhetoric, seems a lot like an insider coup against a declining president; and an attempt to capture the leadership of an increasingly unhappy MAGA. …
When Kent says this war isn’t serving America, he’s echoing the view of a clear majority of the country."

"A majority so clear that politicians like Kent want to tap into it. And that’s a good thing.
But there’s a cynicism to his letter and its insistence that the president of the United States is some defenseless lamb being led astray by Israel. …
Kent has a tone that speaks directly to Trump and MAGA, assuring them that their blameless leader has been hoodwinked. Israel is to blame…"

"For the past two and a half years, the corporate media has failed us on Gaza, and now they're failing us on Iran too. Instead of holding power to account and challenging the myriad lies being told by Trump and Netanyahu, leading media outlets are just happily manufacturing consent for this devastating and illegal war."

"The man sitting behind the Resolute Desk is out of his mind. This person possesses the title of Commander-in-Chief. This person is 'deciding' how to conduct a war against Iran that he started. He does not know what he’s doing."

"It s not in British or allied interests to get dragged into Trump’s war. This is the moment for what Prime Minister Carney of Canada calls the 'middle powers' to come together to pool their ideas and resources to find a way to reopen the strait of Hormuz. Above all, though, they must keep America at arm’s length and not get sucked into what could well become a disaster."
