Tucker Carlson and Trump are falling out over the Iran war

1 week ago | vox.com | Andrew Prokop

Tucker Carlson has been one of the right’s loudest voices urging the United States to stay out of Israel’s war with Iran — part of a broader effort to overturn the GOP’s hawkish consensus. But now, as tensions rise amidst Israeli strikes, Carlson has had a setback to his project: a derogatory nickname from President Donald Trump. ‘“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that,” IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!”’ Trump posted on TruthSocial on Monday night.
There’s a bitter clash on the right. It could determine whether Trump takes us to war.

For months, leading up to Israel’s attacks on Iran last week, an intense and bitter battle has been underway on the American right — a battle for influence over President Donald Trump’s foreign policy. The core assumptions that have guided Washington’s approach to the world for 80 years are suddenly up for debate. The global balance of power, the outcome of life-and-death conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and more momentous future questions of war and peace all hang in the balance.

It was just last week that Elon Musk played buddy-buddy with President Donald Trump in a friendly Oval Office event that marked the end of his White House service.

Elon Musk is stepping back from his Trump administration work with a trail of wreckage — and failure — behind him. Musk said Wednesday that his time as a White House employee — already scaled back to one or two days a week — was now coming to an end. But he’d already had his power reined in, becoming far less powerful in Washington as his grand ambitions hit a wall.
Trump’s big beautiful bill has some ugly details

1 month ago | vox.com | Andrew Prokop

President Donald Trump’s second term has so far been dominated by his aggressive use of executive power — but now, he’s finally trying to get something through Congress. This week, Republicans in the House of Representatives will attempt to pass what Trump has deemed the “one big, beautiful bill.” It is the centerpiece — really, the only major piece — of Trump’s legislative agenda.
US-China trade war pause: Trump’s tariffs failed at their main job

1 month ago | vox.com | Andrew Prokop

Markets rejoiced as the US and China reached a temporary truce of sorts in their trade war Monday, sharply reducing tariffs in a “90-day pause.”For Trump, this was a climbdown. He had severely escalated the trade war against China, starting on “Liberation Day” when he began hiking tariffs through the roof — all the way to 145 percent — in a series of tit-for-tat exchanges.

The establishment strikes back

1 month ago | vox.com | Andrew Prokop

Reports of the GOP establishment’s death have been somewhat exaggerated. In his second term, President Donald Trump has filled his administration with many hard-line ideologues, personal loyalists, and more recent converts to his cause — spurring many to conclude that this was a fully MAGA White House.

Concerning

Elon Musk @elonmusk

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

Curious what the "real impediments" were, I clicked to find... the Administrative Procedure Act? Branding the APA as bad corporate power rather than good regulation may be a promising way to build peace between the factions, if not quite the own on Abundance it's presented as https://t.co/eMmBL6Rfw5
