Political commentator Jessica Tarlov is spotlighting a surge of grassroots dissent against the second Trump administration, using the massive “No Kings” protests as a barometer of rising political energy on the left. In a recent post on X, she noted that what began as millions of protesters has grown even bigger — from around 6 million to nearly 8 million people nationwide — with more than 3,300 rallies in all 50 states, including suburbs and small towns. That turnout, organizers say, makes March’s protest the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history.
Tarlov tied this visible energy on the streets to real political consequences inside Washington: a record 36 House Republicans have announced early retirements, which she argues reflects GOP anxiety about the coming elections, and polling shows Donald Trump’s approval stuck at historically weak levels — around 40% or lower by some measures.
Historically, when a president’s approval dips below 50%, the president’s party tends to lose significant ground in Congress — on average dozens of seats. Democrats, Tarlov points out, only need a handful of flips to take control of the House and Senate. That’s why she says the energy behind these protests is “real and growing” — and could translate into major electoral consequences next year.Political commentator Jessica Tarlov is spotlighting a surge of grassroots dissent against the second Trump administration, using the massive “No Kings” protests as a barometer of rising political energy on the left.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez directly called out former President Donald Trump, reminding him of the lessons from history:
“23 years ago, the U.S. government dragged us into a war with Iraq, said to eliminate Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons and bring democracy. But no nuclear weapon was found in Iraq.”
Sánchez’s statement underscores the skepticism among European leaders toward renewed U.S.-led military interventions in the Middle East, highlighting the lessons of past conflicts and the importance of caution in international policy.
This is resonating online as a sharp rebuke of Trump’s push for the Iran war, emphasizing that history is not easily forgotten.Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez directly called out former President Donald Trump, reminding him of the lessons from history: “23 years ago, the U.S. government dragged us into a war with Iraq, said to eliminate Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons and bring democracy.

President Donald Trump has escalated his criticism of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), saying he’s “strongly considering” pulling the United States out of the alliance after key European allies declined to back U.S. military action related to the war with Iran. Trump labeled NATO a “paper tiger” — a term he’s used to describe institutions he views as weak — and told The Telegraph that the idea of staying in NATO is now “beyond reconsideration.”
The comments underline a growing rift between Washington and longtime partners. Defense officials have even declined to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to NATO’s collective defense clause, putting the future of the alliance’s central guarantee in question.
Trump’s remarks came alongside sharp public criticism of European governments — including France, Spain, Italy, and the UK — for not contributing militarily to the U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran. Those tensions, combined with ongoing disputes over energy security and allied support, are raising serious questions about the stability and cohesion of NATO at a moment of multiple global crises.President Donald Trump has escalated his criticism of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), saying he’s “strongly considering” pulling the United States out of the alliance after key European allies declined to back U.S. military action related to the war with Iran.

Despite Trump’s claim that the world “respects us,” recent events show that U.S. allies are actively resisting his military escalation. From denying access to airspace and bases, to refusing to move critical defense systems, European countries are refusing to follow the U.S. into conflict.
This isn’t just a policy disagreement — it’s a clear signal that respect isn’t about fear or bravado. True respect comes from leadership that allies trust and want to support, not one they feel they must accommodate.
The cracks in U.S.-allied coordination highlight the limits of Trump’s approach: when you push too far, even long-standing partners push back.Despite Trump’s claim that the world “respects us,” recent events show that U.S. allies are actively resisting his military escalation.

Tensions spilled onto the pitch as Bosnian U21 players refused to shake hands with their Israeli counterparts before a Euro qualifier match. The gesture reflects ongoing political tensions and solidarity with Palestinians, which have increasingly appeared in international sports.
Incidents like this show how global conflicts can reverberate far beyond diplomacy, reaching arenas where sport is usually expected to unite people. Fans and commentators are now debating whether sports should remain separate from politics — or if athletes have a platform and responsibility to take a stand.Tensions spilled onto the pitch as Bosnian U21 players refused to shake hands with their Israeli counterparts before a Euro qualifier match.
