Trump loyalist hung out to dry in ruby-red state

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) is having a rough reelection despite his loyalty to President Donald Trump. The senator, who is also a doctor, has been relentlessly attacked for approving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services despite his anti-science beliefs. But Trump is still angry over a vote Cassidy made during Trump's 2020 impeachment. At the time, Cassidy said that the Constitution was more important than party loyalty. Now, Trump is enacting his revenge.

Former White House official: Iran war has left US dangerously exposed to China

After two months of conflict with no end in sight, Former Undersecretary of State Richard Stengel says that the U.S. is now "poorer," "less safe," and "more vulnerable" to its adversaries. His comments were posted along with an article from the New York Times that details how the war has drained stockpiles of "critical, costly weapons." "It is difficult to come to any other conclusion," writes Stengel, "than that this admin's war in Iran has made America less safe and more vulnerable in regard to much more powerful potential adversaries like China. The diminution of expensive and hard to replace munitions is also making us poorer: spending estimates of the war so far are over $30 billion. Iran's military budget, by the way, is 1% of ours."

Trump humiliated as Republicans say his 'No. 1 priority' is dead in the water

President Donald Trump recently proclaimed that the SAVE Act was his "number one priority," but according to lawmakers who spoke with NOTUS, the bill is dead in the water, with one source saying, "That horse has left the barn." The SAVE Act is a sweeping election reform proposal, built largely on the back of Trump's long-debunked claims that immigrants are illegally voting in massive numbers. Among other provisions, the bill would require individuals to present proof of citizenship and ID when registering to vote and when voting in person. Critics have argued that this would "disenfranchise" a large swath of lawful voters, as many Americans lack convenient access to a birth certificate or passport.
