Senate Republicans expressed shock and bewilderment over President Trump’s threat not to sign a highly touted bill to address housing affordability, describing the move as “inexplicable” and making “no sense” at a time when voters are worried about rising costs. GOP senators took some solace in the fact that Trump only canceled a signing ceremony…
Ever since the overthrow of the Fulgencio Bautista regime in 1959, Cuba has been shunned by the United States. Now, following the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and months of U.S. military strikes against Iran, President Donald Trump is indicating that a U.S military invasion of Cuba is possible. But conservative Washington Post columnist George Will fears that Trump could make a bad situation in Cuba even worse."After beginning the war, but before his conduct of it turned it into an embarrassment, President Donald Trump said: 'On the way back' from Iran, 'we will be taking over' Cuba 'almost immediately,'" Will explains. "Now, humiliated and bewildered, he hungers for a success before this autumn's elections."The 84-year-old Will, who was a scathing critic of the late Fidel Castro, is no fan of the communist regime in Cuba — which has been suffering from a terrible economy, a crumbling infrastructure, and frequent blackouts. But he fears that if Trump does move forward with a U.S. military invasion of Cuba, things will only become more dire for the troubled island nation."Communist Cuba, a threadbare museum of Marxism, has always attracted tyranny tourists, leftist pilgrims eager to experience, briefly, applied socialism," Will argues in the Post. "The only good its evil ever produced is 'Against All Hope,' Armando Valladares' magnificent 1986 memoir of 22 years as a political prisoner. Beatings were never perfunctory, always ferocious and imaginatively cruel.… Other than those pilgrims, no one believes the Havana regime has a shred of legitimacy. What should be done?"The Never Trump conservative continues, "For decades, Communist Cuba, a mendicant nation prickly about its revolutionary dignity, depended on subsidies from the Soviet Union, then on bartered oil from Venezuela. Now, it experiences electricity blackouts sometimes lasting 22 hours a day. Some airlines have stopped serving Havana because fuel is scarce for return trips. Tourism has evaporated." But Will emphasizes that while Cuba's situation is dire, Trump doesn't appear to have a coherent game plan."In January," Will observes, "Trump said, 'Cuba is ready to fall.' Into what? Has Trump thought through his vow to 'take care' of Cuba with a 'friendly takeover' during 'a little brief stopover'? Before he skittered away from demanding Iran's 'unconditional surrender,' he jovially said of Cuba: A U.S. aircraft carrier will 'stop about 100 yards offshore, and they'll say: Thank you very much. We give up.' Such a cutup. Our Metternich from Midtown Manhattan is not intimidated by the aphorism that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."

President Trump claimed Tuesday that Iran had “no missile capability”—one of six bold-faced lies that directly contradicts what he said last week.“Now we’re leaving Iran with no Navy, no Air Force, no antiaircraft, no missile capability, no nuclear program. We’re leaving them without any nuclear capacity, and they’ve agreed to that. And we’re getting along quite well,” Trump said at a rally in Macungie, Pennsylvania on Tuesday. “We can fly over Tehran just at will. Nobody’s gonna do anything to us.”Trump: We're leaving Iran with no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft . no missile capability, no nuclear program, no nuclear capacity, and they've agreed to that, and we're getting along quite well pic.twitter.com/Fw0pEx3sKD— Acyn (@Acyn) June 23, 2026First off, Iran still has a navy. Even though the U.S. has sunk multiple Iranian naval ships, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps still have active naval units—they wouldn’t be able to control the Strait of Hormuz if they didn’t. Iran’s nuclear energy program remains intact, as does their capacity to develop it in the future. They also still maintain an aging collection of aircraft. Last month, The New York Times reported that Iran still had “substantial missile capabilities,” including ballistic missiles. Trump admitted as much last week, much to the chagrin of war hawks both at home and in Israel.“We’ll be working on a parallel effort with the Gulf nations to address nonnuclear issues, such as [Iran’s] conventional ballistic missiles,” Trump said at the G7 summit on Wednesday. “I mean, they have to have some. Because other people have some. You gotta have some. Somebody said ‘You shouldn’t give them more … sir, you shouldn’t let them have any missile.’ … What am I gonna do? I’m gonna let Saudi Arabia have missiles, but they can’t have them?”Trump can’t even keep his lies straight. He and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed the U.S. had decimated Iran’s entire military in Operation Epic Fury back in the spring, and that they weren’t a threat. Since then, Iran has continued to either use, hold, or develop every single thing Trump said he had taken away from them.
