Politics Politics Ted Cruz Is an Opportunistic Chameleon Who remembers the Texan’s skepticism of foreign adventurism? (Andrew Cline/Shutterstock) Today, loudly and proudly, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is a staunch supporter of the Iran War , the state of Israel, and U.S.-led regime change in other countries; he is outspoken against what he sees as rising antisemitism in America, particularly on the right . When he opposed a potential U.S.–Iran peace deal in June, the Washington Examiner reported that “Cruz, considered a possible 2028 presidential candidate” was…Open
New polling suggests Gen Z may be adopting the warmongering, interventionist attitude of those who came before. But the study’s own underlying data tells a more complicated story than its topline conclusion. The polling spurred a Washington Post column by Fox News contributor and American Enterprise Institute (AEI) resident fellow Marc Thiessen titled “How young MAGA voters view America’s role in the world.” In the article, Thiessen argued, “Young MAGA voters don’t want America to pull back from the world; they want to lead it,” and “From Ukraine to Iran to Taiwan, Trump supporters under 30 favor engagement over isolation.” Thiessen’s bottom line was even more sweeping: “The isolationists are out of step with Trump…Open

Foreign Affairs Lindsey Graham Cheered Death. We Shouldn’t Do the Same The senator represented my state in Congress for three decades. This is what I saw. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died unexpectedly on Saturday at the age of 71. I was born and raised in South Carolina and was his constituent for most of his three decades in Congress. Graham became a member of the U.S. House in 1995. In 1996, my own political journey began in my early 20s as a Pat Buchanan conservative who avidly supported his insurgent populist bid for the Republican presidential nomination that year. Graham entered the Senate in January 2003, three months…Open
The sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will have ripple effects on the GOP agenda in the coming weeks, as Washington mourns one of its most outspoken dealmakers and defense hawks. Graham had risen to become one of the most influential voices among Senate Republicans since he was first elected to the chamber more than 20 years ago, becoming a top ally for President Trump. The senator’s office announced Graham died Saturday evening from a “brief and sudden illness” at the age of 71.

A lookback at South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham's top moments throughout his years in the political eye. The sudden death of the republican Senator on Saturday sent shock waves through the Senate, as the upper chamber lost a 23-year veteran who shaped debate on a litany of foreign and domestic policy items. Graham died on Saturday “from a brief and sudden illness,” his office said early Sunday. The chief medical examiner of Washington, D.C., preliminarily ruled the 71-year-old’s death stemmed from an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. #lindseygraham #senate #politics

Foreign Affairs If It’s Trump vs. Chickenhawks, Trump Wins The president can still recapture the populist energy that propelled him to the White House. (Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images) I just saw two video clips that sum up the two sides of the current debate over the Iran War and the Trump administration’s efforts to end it. The first is a clip of President Donald Trump discussing the prospects for peace with Iran. Of particular interest: his remarks about the need for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to restrain himself and stop Israel’s bloodshed in Lebanon. Like any sane person, Trump…Open
Graham has served in the Senate since 2003 and is a close ally of President Donald Trump, despite being widely regarded as one of the most neoconservative foreign policy hawks and a stalwart of the old guard GOP.
Tapped as Steve Witkoff's Iran advisor, Nick Stewart previously condemned dealing with Iran's elected leaders.
By Max Blumenthal The latest addition to the Trump administration’s Iran negotiation team, Nick Stewart, has declared his absolute opposition to negotiating with the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to Stewart, “it’s important that we disabuse people of that notion” that anyone among Iran’s current leadership could serve as an “honest broker.” Stewart aruged that even the reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian must be treated as an inveterate enemy because he is “a part of the theocratic, tyrannical, authoritarian government of Iran.” He insisted that Pezeshkian “is not a reformer and we shouldn’t buy into that narrative, because what it does is it throws us off our guard.” This Substack is reader-supported.
