BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News' Defense Correspondent just exposed how the Iranians are playing on Donald Trump's weakness. Even Fox News can't hide Trump's failures. Wow.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Bill Cassidy just torched Donald Trump saying his Iran War was one of the worst foreign policy blunders in decades. Wow.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republicans just BLOCKED Sen. Richard Blumenthal's attempt to get Veterans their retirement pay WITHOUT cutting disability benefits. Republicans will write blank checks to the military, then penny pinch when it's time to support our Vets.
This is an enormous projection of weakness from the Trump Administration. Iran should never be allowed to fire missiles at our democratic allies without fear of response.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷Trump tells me he will ask Netanyahu not to strike back at Iran. My story on @axios

Venezuela is still ruled by Maduro's human rights abuser cronies, despite the Trump administration's promises to bring democracy to the Venezuelan people.
Delcy Rodriguez is a criminal and has no business running Caracas without scheduling free and fair elections.
The Trump Administration's Iran policy allowed Russia to make money selling their oil. At a time when Ukraine is turning the tide on the battlefield, there is zero excuses to offer Russia any refuge. U.S. foreign policy should not be helping Russia at any point.
RUBIO: There are time-limited extensions on sanctions waivers
SHAHEEN: It's certainly benefitted Russia. Can you commit not to extend them?
RUBIO: It depends. We would like to end it, because the underlying policy has been to sanction their oil. These are time-limited waivers
SHAHEEN: But if we continue to extend them, they are not time-limited
President Zelenskyy is right. The U.S., in effort to bolster our own security and that of our allies, should be increasing its industrial production as soon as possible. This is the best way to protect our national security interests.
ZELENSKYY: We see that Russia is increasing its internal production of ballistic missiles. And we have deficit of anti-ballistic missiles. This is big problem.
United States can produce 60 to 65 missiles per month. For today's challenges, it's nothing. We need to increase and expand production.
I asked previous U.S. administration, and I'm asking today's U.S. administration: give Ukraine licenses, and we will increase production of Patriot missiles.
It will be very helpful for us. It will be very helpful for Middle East, for everybody whom the United States will decide to help.
Bipartisan opposition to the Trump way. Bipartisan support for peace through strength in Ukraine. That’s how it’s done.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News' military expert just admitted that Donald Trump is responsible for giving Iran their most powerful negotiating chip: the Strait of Hormuz. Never prior to Trump's war did Iran leverage this. What an admission.
This is the opposite of peace through strength.
U.S. arms sales to Taiwan have been “paused,” a senior U.S. military official said, fueling concerns among lawmakers and Taiwanese officials that President Trump’s support for the democratically governed island is wavering. wapo.st/4wLI6of

This represents a huge diplomatic success for Ukraine.
Russia’s entire game was to just have the White House blame Ukraine for the failure of the talks and take punitive action. That was thankfully avoided
⚡️ BREAKING: US halts Ukraine peace talks
“We were the only ones both Russians and Ukrainians were willing to talk to. So we got involved. Unfortunately, it didn’t yield results. That’s the point,” — said Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio added that Washington will return to negotiations only if the dynamics change, and noted: “If someone else wants to take this on — please, be my guest.”
If true, this would be an enormous mistake. The U.S. should stand with its allies against aggressive adversaries. Our adversaries are counting on this cowardly behavior. We can’t afford to reward them.
Scoop:
The Trump admin is planning to tell NATO allies this week that it will shrink the pool of military capabilities the US would have available to assist European nations in a major crisis, like an invasion of a NATO member, sources said

The United States' network of alliances is such a strategic advantage that our competitors lack. Why would we alienate, antagonize, and abandon them (Ukraine, Denmark, Poland, Taiwan)? It's wrong. It's strategically blind. It's an own goal for the US & a win for Russia & China.
This is not an America first approach. This endangers America’s long-run security prospects.
Under Donald Trump’s leadership, the U.S. has retreated from the world stage, leaving our allies feeling abandoned and our adversaries emboldened. That’s a problem.
APPLEBAUM: United States under this administration is no longer interested in leading democratic coalitions against Russia or anyone else.
President Trump has begun to align US foreign and domestic policies with values and practices of the autocratic world.
Democracy is no longer at center of United States foreign policy or American identity.
President and his administration attempted to strip funding from USAID or Radio Free Europe, American institutions that once promoted democracy around the world.
Trump verbally attacked Canada, European Union, America's Asian partners, placing inexplicably high tariffs on their goods.
Trump shouted at Ukrainian president in Oval Office, threatened to annex Greenland by force, claimed that EU was created to "screw US," and echoed Putin in calling NATO paper tiger.
Trump negotiated with Russia not to bring just peace to Ukraine or security to Europe, but also in order to help US businesses profit from lifting of Russian sanctions.
Trump is subverting US law (Taiwan Relations Act) and openly bragging about using Taiwan's defense as a bargaining chip.
All to satisfy Xi Jinping.
This isn't leadership, it's unilateral surrender.
Trump tells @BretBaier he views the $14 billion deal to sell weapons to Taiwan, which Congress approved in January, as "a very good negotiating chip"
“I haven't approved it yet. We're going to see what happens,” Trump said. “I'm holding that in abeyance. It depends on China. It is a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly. It's a lot of weapons.”

Insanity for several reasons:
- The US has a congressional mandate to arm Taiwan
- Broadcasting that the US is using Taiwan's security as a chip empowers Taiwan's pro-China opposition
- This is horrible signaling for regional allies (Japan, South Korea, etc.)

America doesn't have to be a nation in decline. America doesn't have to sever its own alliances, tariff its closest partners, and give in to its enemy's demands.
We can be better — but we need leadership that's up to the task.
