Rep. Ted Lieu is calling for Secretary Marco Rubio to resign, because he didn't have an evacuation plan for American citizens who are abroad in countries which he knew Iran had missiles that could hit. Many Americans are now stranded due to closed airspaces.

In Rio de Janeiro , the Almeida family experienced something almost unbelievable. Their pet turtle, Manuela , was discovered alive 34 years after they thought she had disappeared during home renovations in 1982. For decades, the family believed she had escaped. But years later, while cleaning the house after the father’s passing, they found her in a raised attic space beneath the roof — surrounded by old boxes and stored wood. Somehow, she had survived there for more than three decades. Veterinarians later explained that red-footed tortoises are incredibly resilient. Manuela likely survived by eating termites and drinking condensed water droplets . These tortoises can also rely on stored body fat and enter a hibernation-like state when conditions are harsh. Her survival amazed many people online . What seemed like a long-lost pet turned into a story of endurance, resilience, and the quiet strength of nature hidden right above their heads.

Calling the 2024 presidential race “the podcast bro election,” Curt Mills, executive director of The American Conservative, told Vanity Fair’s Aidan McLaughlin that President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran could have serious political consequences for Republicans heading into the midterms — and possibly beyond. “If you accept that it was a podcast bro election, it is relevant that the podcast bros hate this,” Mills said of the offensive launched Saturday by the U.S. and Israel. He argued that if Trump’s coalition depends heavily on independent voters and newer media audiences, backlash over foreign policy decisions could dampen turnout in 2026. Mills suggested Republicans could risk losing key seats, including the Senate, if enthusiasm drops. He also noted that some prominent MAGA-aligned voices — including Andrew Tate, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene — have publicly criticized the move. Greene even drew a pop-culture comparison, likening Trump to Lord Farquaad from Shrek, quoting the character’s infamous line about sacrifice. The debate highlights internal divisions within the conservative movement over foreign policy and the political risks of military escalation. #Politics #Election2024 #Trump #GOP #Midterms2026 #ForeignPolicy #Iran #MediaInfluence #PoliticalAnalysis
