Stripe co-founder Saikat Chakrabarti is launching a political revolution, aiming to unseat Nancy Pelosi's successor in San Francisco. He criticizes Democratic leadership, advocating for an end to US military aid to Israel, a wealth tax, and free healthcare. Despite significant personal investment and progressive backing, Chakrabarti faces a challenging local political landscape.

The gulf between Trump’s actions and Gabbard’s worldview made the latter’s position untenable. Perhaps her fate was sealed last June when, less than two weeks before Operation Midnight Hammer, she posted a video in which she said “political elite warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers”. The post appeared shortly before the US struck Iran’s nuclear sites in an operation almost borrowed from the plot of Top Gun: Maverick.

US president Donald Trump's presidency has shifted to muscular interventionism, beginning with the swift overthrow of Venezuela's Maduro. Now, the focus turns to Cuba, but unlike Venezuela, the island presents a more cohesive political structure, a disciplined military, and a population prepared for conflict, making the 'Venezuela model' unlikely to succeed.

In a charged political atmosphere, Defence secretary Pete Hegseth is facing tough questions from lawmakers, including some from his own party, regarding the prolonged conflict in Iran and its controversial lack of congressional authorization. The Trump administration's ambitious military spending plan is taking a backseat to growing concerns about economic fallout and rising international tensions.

During his recent trip to Beijing, President Trump showcased a willingness to engage in conversations about US arms sales to Taiwan, confident that his personal bond with Xi Jinping would act as a buffer against any potential Chinese aggression. The visit, primarily focused on enhancing trade relations, also included key American business leaders.

While the US and Israel engaged in conflict with Iran, China quietly leveraged the situation to expand its influence. By positioning itself as a diplomatic alternative and stabilizing energy supplies, Beijing benefited from a weakened American strategic position and growing uncertainty about US reliability among allies.

Presidents Xi and Trump are set for a crucial summit, aiming for stability despite deep-seated issues like tech rivalry and Taiwan. While a trade deal might emerge, it won't end the underlying friction. China's focus on domestic chip production and its stance on Taiwan, deemed the 'biggest risk,' will also be key discussion points. The US may also expect China's mediation in ending the Iranian mess.

President Trump's approval rating has dropped to 34%, its lowest point, amid growing public dissatisfaction over the rising cost of living and the ongoing conflict with Iran. Economic concerns, particularly a 40% surge in gasoline prices following military action against Iran, are driving this discontent, impacting households and the Republican Party ahead of midterm elections.

Post-shooting, Trump will get a ratings bump. Question is whether he will squander it by doubling down on the Iran war, misreading public mood again

US Senate Democrats are increasingly divided over arms sales to Israel, with over three dozen backing Bernie Sanders' resolution to halt them. Citing Prime Minister Netanyahu's "reckless decisions" and the expanded conflict, some Democrats shifted their stance. Despite bipartisan opposition, the measures were ultimately rejected, highlighting a growing internal party debate.

Pakistan’s sudden role in Iran war talks has put it back in the global spotlight. But at home, scepticism runs deep about how much influence it really wields — and who is actually calling the shots.

Had US prez stuck to his campaign promises, a fragmented opposition would be in trouble. Instead, the war has allowed them to unite and talk about rising gas prices and costs squeezing ordinary Americans

European leaders may be uncomfortable with Trump’s Iran war, but won’t dare criticise him. For, US remains the guarantor of Western security. But European publics are increasingly losing patience with this hypocrisy, punishing those seen as close to Trump

For peace, both US & Iran must realise neither’s position is as strong as they believe, nor is their adversary as weak as they would prefer. But they are not there yet

Alan Dershowitz has exited the Democratic Party due to perceived anti-Jewish sentiments at the Democratic National Convention. He criticized Kamala Harris's absence during Netanyahu's address and expressed disappointment with anti-Israel speakers. Now identifying as an Independent, he will decide his vote based on candidates' stances on Israel and Iran.

US politics around war? Complicated. Evangelicals who believe world is ending, and centrist Democrats, like it. Progressives who distrust Netanyahu, and moderate Republicans, hate it. MAGA is split, also around Israel. Trump’s not getting a war bump

Netanyahu has heavily emphasized his relationship with Trump in the past year of electioneering, and has drawn criticism for alienating Democrats in the process. Both Gantz and Netanyahu have called for bipartisan support for Israel in the United States.

Low-tech Iranian mines and drones are paralyzing commercial traffic in the Gulf, challenging the US Navy's dominance. This echoes WWI's Battle of Gallipoli, where mines hobbled Britain's mighty fleet. Iran's asymmetric tactics threaten global supply chains and could impact US elections.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas is causing divisions within the progressive wing of the Democratic Party in New York. The crisis has led to daily rallies and protests, spilling tensions into the streets. Previously, left-leaning candidates were able to unite various factions and challenge moderate Democrats, but the current conflict has caused a split over positions on Hamas' invasion and Israel's response. The conflict's graphic images have intensified divisions within the party, particularly among the progressive wing.

With right water and agricultural management, India can feed the world in the future with lessons from Israel, Brett Jonathan Miller, consul-general of Israel in Mumbai, said on Wednesday, speaking at Goa university.

Jewish support for the Democratic Party has reached its lowest level since the Reagan era, with concerns over antisemitism and declining support for Israel. A poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris underperforming among Jewish voters, with 67% supporting her, compared to 31% for Donald Trump.

Former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the next U.S. ambassador to Israel. The vote was largely along party lines, with Democrats supporting Lew and most Republicans opposing him. Republicans criticized Lew for his past dealings with Iran, particularly his work on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Democrats pushed to fill the vacancy quickly in the aftermath of an attack on Israel by Iran-backed Hamas militants. Lew's nomination was welcomed by Israel, and he only needed a simple majority to win confirmation.

Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan has been censured by the US House of Representatives for her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war. The censure resolution, supported by 22 Democrats and sponsored by Republican Representative Rich McCormick of Georgia, accused Tlaib of promoting false narratives and calling for the destruction of Israel. Tlaib had defended using the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which is seen by many as a call to eliminate Israel.
