Insiders fear Trump's new war plan will backfire catastrophically

White House officials are increasingly concerned President Donald Trump may imminently execute a plan to launch massive attacks on Iran that could have catastrophic consequences, Zeteo reported. Trump intends to stage a major military escalation to force Iran back to the negotiating table on more favorable terms, Trump told Axios. However, virtually everyone in his inner circle believes the plan will fail and cause severe harm. One White House adviser called it a "terrible idea," while another senior official claimed, "Trump has no way out." A third official warned there is "almost no scenario where Americans don't die" if Trump proceeds. Despite this consensus, administration insiders admitted they are "too scared" to tell the president his plan won't work, instead soft-selling concerns. The New York Times reported a Friday meeting where Trump's advisers mostly counseled against intensifying Iran attacks.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

'Admission of weakness': Trump's major war confession earns scathing rebuke from WSJ

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board expressed fury that the Trump administration projected a major vulnerability to Iran in the middle of wartime.New leaked reports indicate the White House was just briefed that the military is running out of critical missile supplies — a sign that even the current, tenuous war position is barely sustainable."Officials in the Trump Administration leaked to the press that the U.S. is running out of ammunition," wrote the board. "Mull over that one. Mr. Trump was saying all last week he is prepared for a major military escalation. But, suddenly, the leakers undermine the credibility of that U.S. resolve by telling the press — and thus the Iranians — that the U.S. can’t sustain the fight."This, the board wrote, is hardly going to make the Iranians more amenable to come to the negotiating table. "Do [the leakers] think it’s wise to tell enemies trying to kill U.S. soldiers not to worry about a sustained American response?" wrote the board. "This is an astonishing display of incompetence, or disloyalty, or both."If the leaks are indeed true, the board wrote, it's a "five-alarm fire" — and immediate action needs to be taken."If the missile gap is being floated for political purposes by officials who want Mr. Trump to stand down, then the President should banish those voices from the Situation Room," the board concluded. "Either way, they’re laughing in Tehran."

FIFA boss summoned to testify about Trump ties in aftermath of World Cup

The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee has formally asked FIFA president Gianni Infantino to appear before the committee, escalating scrutiny of FIFA's relationship with President Donald Trump in the aftermath of this summer's men's World Cup.In a letter sent Sunday night, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) asked FIFA to turn over records of anything of value given to Trump, his administration, or the Trump Organization, along with visitor logs from FIFA's Miami and New York offices and preserved communications — including messages sent on platforms like Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp — between FIFA staff and anyone connected to the Trump administration or transition, reported The Athletic.FIFA created a new "Peace Prize" awarded to the president, took office space in Trump Tower and relocated the World Cup draw from Las Vegas to the Kennedy Center in Washington after Trump allies took over the venue.Scrutiny intensified during the tournament when Trump personally called Infantino to request a review of U.S. player Folarin Balogun's suspension, which FIFA then reversed — a decision the organization maintains was made independently.Raskin's letter also questions the Justice Department's decision to drop long-running corruption cases tied to international soccer, suggesting the timing raises questions about whether FIFA's outreach to Trump influenced the outcome.Additionally, the letter revives concerns about FIFA's World Cup ticketing practices, which are already under investigation by attorneys general in several states over pricing that reportedly reached tens of thousands of dollars for finals tickets — far above the tournament's original promised cap.A White House spokesperson dismissed the inquiry, defending the administration's role in the World Cup as a major success for the country.Because Democrats remain in the House minority, Raskin cannot compel Infantino's testimony. But the letter signals the kind of oversight FIFA could face if Democrats retake the chamber in November, when Raskin could gain subpoena power as committee chairman.The pressure adds to mounting criticism of Infantino abroad, with dozens of European lawmakers and soccer bodies — including UEFA and Norway's football federation — raising concerns about FIFA's political neutrality following the Balogun controversy and the Trump Peace Prize.

'Setting students up': Outrage as Trump's economy ups cost of school supplies

Even as President Donald Trump continues dismissing Americans’ concerns about affordability heading into the 2026 midterm elections, a study released on Monday reveals that US parents are about to pay a hefty premium to ensure their children are prepared for school this fall.A joint analysis from Groundwork Collaborative and The Century Foundation finds that a typical basket of school supplies costs nearly 8% more than it did last year, with typical school lunch items costing 11% more.Lunch boxes have posted the largest yearly price increase, as the analysis estimates they will cost nearly 27% more this year than in 2025. Other items whose prices have soared include one-subject notebooks (23% yearly increase), index cards (22%), and notebook paper (20%).Trump’s illegal war with Iran, which has caused fuel prices including diesel to surge higher, has played a large role in increasing prices, as have his tariffs on foreign imports, the report notes.The increase in diesel has been particularly troublesome for the price of food, the analysis points out, as the fuel is used both by farmers to power their agricultural equipment and by delivery trucks that ship food to grocery stores.When it comes to the tariffs, the report points to Newell Brands—the company that makes Sharpies, Paper Mate, Elmer’s glue, and other school supply staples—which has been hit with a $174 million tax bill thanks to Trump’s policies and has consistently raised prices over the last year.The report also points to changes made to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) made in Republicans’ 2025 budget law that will make it harder for low-income kids to qualify for food assistance this school year.Lindsay Owens, president of Groundwork Collaborative, said Trump’s policies are forcing parents “to worry about whether they can afford to buy what their students need to be successful in the classroom.”“If the president continues to treat our economy like a schoolyard game, our students and their families will pay the price,” said Owens. “When report cards come this year, Americans will give Trump an F.”Janelle Jones, senior fellow at The Century Foundation, noted that school supplies aren’t luxuries for families, but rather “the baseline for a kid to show up ready to learn.”“When notebooks and paper are up over 20%,” Jones emphasized, “we’re not just squeezing family budgets, we’re setting students up to fall behind. We know where this leads: lower test scores, more kids repeating grades, and worse outcomes well into adulthood.”

'They're in danger': Insiders reveal which Trump agency has Iranians feeling 'scared'

President Donald Trump doesn't seem to have much sway in the negotiations to end the war against Iran, but there is someone else who may hold the key, insiders revealed on Monday. Axios reported, citing multiple anonymous White House officials, that Iranian officials seem more afraid of the U.S. Treasury than of the Department of Defense. The insiders argued that Iranians are more afraid of sanctions now because of the country's economic conditions. "The Iranians want to stop being bombed, and they want money," a senior administration official told the outlet. "But that's almost in reverse order. They really want the money first."That seems to give Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent significant leverage over how the war negotiations proceed, according to the officials. "They're in danger of runs on banks. There are gasoline shortages in this giant oil-rich country," one official told Axios. "They're more scared of Treasury than the War Department.""The president has a win-win optionality. The U.S. is capable of prosecuting this militarily to the fullest extent. And the U.S. is capable of exerting economic sanctions that cripple Iran," another official said.
