Carlson has long been a big supporter of Republicans, especially as a face on Fox News, where he was fired in 2023. As a podcaster with a large audience, he initially continued to promote the party and in particular Donald Trump, whom he supported in the last presidential election campaign. However, with the start of the Iran War, Carlson’s attitude changed.
He criticized Trump for “misleading” the public. The party no longer represents its own voters, citizens and nation. “They make decisions based on other criteria: what’s best for this company, what’s best for Israel“What’s best for our donors?” He had defended the party for 35 years, but that was going too far. He added that he would not support the Democratic Party either.
Trump accuses Europeans of lacking support
Shortly before a visit by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte Washington US President Trump has again accused several European allies of a lack of support. The USA has spent enormous sums of money protecting Europe over the years, Trump said in the White House. When Washington itself asked for help against the Iranhowever, important partners were not there for the United States. He particularly targeted three partners – including Germany.
Federal judge stops investigations against Trump opponents
A federal judge has ordered the US government to investigate Minnesota’s governor Tim Waltz and stopped other Democratic officials for allegedly obstructing immigration authorities. Judge Patrick Schiltz said in a ruling published on Monday (local time) that the subpoenas were issued for unconstitutional reasons.
Walz is considered a prominent Trump opponent. His state became the scene of protests earlier this year against Trump’s harsh migration policies and controversial raids against migrants. In January, the US Department of Justice sent subpoenas to Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and other authorities and municipalities. The agency said at the time that it was investigating possible obstruction of immigration enforcement.
Schiltz declared the subpoenas legally invalid. The “predominant purpose” was to support those responsible in Minnesota Federal Government to coerce and “harass” them in enforcing immigration law and retaliate against them for failing to do so. The judge also referred to the Constitution, which in the United States sets limits on the federal government if it wants to oblige states to implement federal law. The evidence that the subpoenas were issued for improper reasons was “overwhelming,” Schiltz wrote. At the same time, the Ministry of Justice was unable to provide any plausible justification for the investigation.
