During an interview with his brother Buckley Carlson " a Republican Party operative who previously wrote speeches for Trump " Carlson expressed regret for having publicly supported the president, who has repeatedly attacked him in recent months.

It's like in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now." "Yes," Buckley replied. Read more
It was almost exactly this time 20 years ago that the bottom began to fall out on George W. Bush's approval ratings. And as Bush's numbers in most polls fell into the 30s for the first time in late winter and early spring, the culprit was clear: the Iraq war. History could be repeating itself with President Donald Trump in 2026. Just swap Iraq with Iran. Two new polls released Tuesday morning showed Trump's approval rating in the mid-30s: 36% in a Reuters-Ipsos poll and 35% in a Strength in Numbers-Verasight poll. They follow an NBC News poll over the weekend that showed Trump hitting a new low of 37%. Over the past month now, eight of nine quality polls tracked by CNN have shown Trump in the 30s.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is focused on a new enemy as the war with Iran rages on: the flu shot. Despite Hegseth's assertion that the flu vaccine mandate is "absurd," the military has a longstanding history of requiring vaccines dating back to nearly the country's inception. In 1777, General George Washington required troops to vaccinate themselves against smallpox. It was also the U.S. Army that invested in the development of the first flu vaccine at the start of World War II out of concern because the 1918 influenza pandemic killed about 45,000 to 50,000 U.S. soldiers during World War I. The flu vaccine was then mandated for all military personnel in 1945, until Hegseth's new announcement.

The risk of a U.S. recession could rise suddenly depending on how the administration reacts to the Iran war on social media, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief executive David Solomon said. Article content A larger or smaller risk of an economic downturn could be "only one tweet away," Solomon said in an interview at the Paley Center for Media in Manhattan, adding that current forecasts for a recession remain fairly low.

Rep. Nancy Mace filed a motion Monday evening to expel her Republican colleague, Rep. Cory Mills, from the House, just hours after NOTUS reported that Mills was considering doing the same to her. "The swamp has protected Cory Mills for far too long and we are done letting it slide. We tried to censure him and strip him from his committee assignments. Both parties blocked it, but we are not backing down," Mace said in a post on X. "The evidence against Mills is overwhelming: beating women and telling them to lie about it, cyberstalking women, lying about his military service, and profiting off his seat. Any Member who votes to keep him here is voting to protect a woman beater and a fraud. He needs to be expelled IMMEDIATELY."
