'Shapeshifter' JD Vance just revealed something 'quite ugly' about himself: expert

Vice President JD Vance just revealed himself to be a "shapeshifter" in a way that revealed something "quite ugly" about himself, according to one expert.

In late February, MAGA media star Tucker Carlson interviewed U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, which Vance described to The Washington Post on Friday as a "really good conversation that's going to be necessary for the right." That depiction was highly problematic for former State Department Counselor Eliot Cohen, who said on a new episode of the "Shield of the Republic" podcast that it showed something "quite ugly" about the Vice President's personality.

President Donald Trump's "signature crisis" has become a defining moment for the U.S., according to one columnist.

David Rothkopf, a columnist at The Daily Beast, argued during a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles that the way the Trump administration has handled the Jeffrey Epstein files is one of the "signatures of our time" because it connects to many other issues the U.S. faces, from political corruption to wealth inequality and everything in between.
