There's been one clear winner of Trump's war against Iran so far. Spoiler: It isn't Donald Trump.

Trump helped turn the Strait of Hormuz into a global crisis—and now he’s looking to China to help bail us out. Think about how that makes us look to the rest of the world.

Autocracies are rising. To compete with China & Russia in the 21st century, we need to return to the basics that underpinned Cold War success: strong democratic alliances, global institutions (which can and should be reformed), and renewed engagement and cooperation.

Putin has lied his entire career. Yet Witkoff says we can take Russia “at their word” that they’re not sharing intelligence with Iran. Taking the Kremlin at face value while U.S. intelligence reportedly says otherwise is utterly incomprehensible and mind-boggling naive.

From threatening to invade Greenland to calling Canada "the 51st state" and slapping tariffs on everyone—this isn't "America First," it’s a massive self-inflicted wound. Now Trump wants to abandon NATO. That would be an all-time own goal.

Stop trying to change Putin’s mind. Change his capabilities instead. Arm Ukraine with more and better weapons, and impose tougher sanctions on Russian individuals and companies to cut off the money funding this war.

Putin’s war is a tragedy with no winners. Russia isn’t stronger, safer, or more prosperous for invading Ukraine. Its economy is deeply strained, emigration has accelerated, and its demographic crisis has intensified.

In my book Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder, I argue against “might makes right” thinking. Instead, I make the case that meeting today’s challenges from Russia and China requires renewed alliances, diplomacy, and democratic leadership.

So far, this trip feels heavy on pageantry and light on substance. Plenty of cordial exchanges, but few tangible deliverables. Maybe that changes tomorrow. But at the moment, Trump seems to view a good meeting with Xi as the goal itself.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed ongoing litigation prevented him from answering questions about Trump's audit status. ....Then Rep. Linda Sánchez pulled out a court order and cited Supreme Court precedent saying ongoing litigation does NOT automatically bar testimony before Congress.
