The Trump administration's latest pivot in its efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine unsettled a war expert, who argued in a new Substack essay published on Sunday that the move exposes the administration's strategy as a "con."

President Donald Trump appears to be staring down lame-duck status as the 2026 midterm election approaches, but that doesn't mean his administration will be any less dangerous, even if the GOP gets the thrashing experts expect, according to one ex-GOP analyst.

Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to vote against the bill.
