Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fired back after Trump doubled down on his attacks, telling him that his “constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless” and rejecting his claims about her popularity and Italy’s military cooperation with the United States. “Italy remains a sovereign nation,” Meloni wrote, before ending with a pointed message to Trump: “My popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”

Remarkable.
One of Trump’s closest influencers, Laura Loomer, has publicly admitted that she spent years spreading Russian propaganda and anti-Ukrainian narratives.
Loomer says she was emotionally manipulated by online propaganda while trying to defend Trump from accusations of Kremlin ties. In doing so, she and many other conservatives began subconsciously sympathizing with Russia.
“I was so anti-Ukraine and repeated these talking points, believing I was saying the right things. I didn’t realize how deeply I had been manipulated by propaganda online. We fell for Russian propaganda. I fell for it myself.”
She now says Russia only pretends to defend Christian values while bombing civilians, persecuting Christians in occupied Ukraine, and supporting neo-Nazis inside the United States.
Better late than never. The real question is: how many others still haven’t realized they’ve been manipulated?
BREAKING: Iran Suspends Entire 60-Day Negotiation Process With the U.S.
Iran has halted its entire 60-day negotiation framework with the United States after accusing Washington of violating the very first clause of the recently signed MOU.
According to Fars and Al-Mayadeen, Iranian officials argue Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon less than 24 hours after the agreement was electronically signed constituted a direct breach of U.S. obligations under the deal.
Iran’s delegation was reportedly preparing to depart for Switzerland for the first round of talks when Tehran abruptly canceled the trip. Iranian officials now say they will not fulfill their own commitments until they are fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the U.S. has adhered to the agreement’s first-clause requirements.
The first round of U.S.-Iran talks is now effectively off the table.
