Tulsi Gabbard reveals husband's 'very rare sacral chordoma': 'In a lot of pain' after 7-hour surgery
Tulsi Gabbard reveals husband Abraham Williams is recovering at home after nearly seven hours of successful surgery for a very rare sacral chordoma.

President Donald Trump has accomplished a "rare trifecta" in the current polarized era by uniting all political factions against his war against Iran, according to CNN's Harry Enten.The 79-year-old president launched the war Feb. 28 and has been unable to negotiate an end to the conflict or Iran's crippling closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and Enten presented new polling data that found his war is more unpopular than ever."The most unpopular war at the start of a war that I could ever find, ever, has become even more unpopular," Enten said. "That's what those Republicans in the House are seeing. Just take a look here: Net approval rating of the Iran war, at the start, it was underwater, minus-nine points. Now it's down there with the Strait of Hormuz. Look at this, minus-23 points."Four GOP lawmakers joined the Democratic minority Wednesday in voting to limit Trump's war powers, and Enten said they're reflecting the broader public opinion."This is a war that has become more unpopular even as President Trump and his administration has tried to sell it, and among independents, it's gone from 23 points underwater to, get this, 40 points underwater with independents," he said. "So those Republicans who are, in fact, did not vote with the renegade Republicans, they are helping to put that Republican majority, which was already at great risk in the House, in even more risk.""How do people feel about the idea that military force needs congressional approval?" Enten added. "Okay, this is pretty simple – against presidents using military force without Congress' approval, look at this, 63 percent overall are against the idea that, in fact, that the president could just go willy-nilly without congressional approval. How about independents? Seventy-two percent, 72 percent, more than two in three independents are against the idea that the president can, in fact, use military force without congressional approval. So the American people, independents very much with that House vote yesterday."Support for the war has dropped among independents from minus-23 percent to minus-40 points, Enten noted."Independents, of course, have been such an important part of the president's decaying political coalition," he said. "They were pretty much even in the 2024 election, and they have shifted massively against him, and especially on this war."The president has managed to bring all factions together on one aspect of his war, the data analyst said."Whatever exactly this ceasefire is, people want it to continue," Enten said. "Take a look here, and this is the rare trifecta: Continue the Iran cease fire and the negotiations, look at this, 77 percent of all Americans. Then you get the rare trifecta: Democrats, 96 percent, independents, 81 percent, and even a majority of Republicans here. What we're essentially saying is, yes, they do, in fact, want the ceasefire to continue. They like this idea.""They do not, in fact, want a rough start of, let's say, much more force going on in the Middle East, much more force going on in Iran," he added. "They want the current condition to hold, whatever exactly you call it." - YouTube youtu.be

Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Thomas Massie of Kentucky voted with 211 Democrats to approve the resolution.
The lower chamber of Congress passed a measure that seeks to halt further military action, in a vote seen as largely symbolic.
Republican strategist Rina Shah says there are very clear reasons President Donald Trump got dunked by his own party on Wednesday, and he has no one to blame but himself.House Republicans, for the first time in months, failed to block a Democratic effort to halt the Iran war. The four Republican defectors who joined Democrats in tanking the GOP shutout are the latest sign that members of the president’s own party are willing to buck him on key policies.The Wednesday loss, the latest in Trump’s recent losing streak, was made possible by swing district Republicans Tom Barrett of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Warren Davidson of Ohio, joined by Tom Massie (R-Ky.), who Trump got tossed from a GOP primary by endorsing his Republican rival. The 215-208 bipartisan vote is mostly symbolic, considering Trump will likely veto legislation that restricts his authority. However, the message the vote sends to the White House is likely coming in loud and clear.When Burnett asked Shah if Trump’s coalition is finally falling apart Shah answered “I think so, and it's because the G cubed: gas, groceries, geopolitics.”“To me, it's the war that's done it completely,” added Shah. “Trump promised no more wars, no more endless wars. And there's an entire swath of the Republican Party that is keeping mum and just saying, ‘we could take it all, the ballroom, even a slush fund, even J6 …. But when you start to talk democracy, you lose people, especially Republican voters. So you have to talk hard costs. The hard costs of this conflict have been tremendous.”“And what we saw on Monday, the reports out of that call with [Israeli leader] Netanyahu, have been really shocking to members of congress who are Republicans,” said Shah, citing an irate phone conversation with Trump dressing down Netanyahu for aggravating violence in southern Lebanon as Trump desperately seeks an offramp to his Iran war disaster.“Independent Americans Podcast” host Paul Rieckhoff agreed that the Republican vote shaving Trump’s power on Tuesday is a result of a convergence of U.S. voter anger.“This is really, really an important crossroads for America in a new phase of what could be a new forever war, because it's bigger than Iran,” said Rieckhoff. “But, but this has been amazing in that it's unified America against Trump. Republicans, Democrats, everybody in between, especially Independents, are deeply opposed to the Iran war. It's unauthorized, it's unwise, and it's deeply unpopular. And I think the politicians are actually behind the country on this. … The problem is that Trump has been all gas and no brakes, and nothing has stopped him until now.” - YouTube www.youtube.com
