Summary

Donald Trump warned Iran that the “clock is ticking” after a strike on a nuclear facility in the UAE, escalating fears that the conflict could spiral into a wider regional war. Meanwhile, Thomas Massie gears up for a Tough Primary in Kentucky as divisions inside MAGA continue to deepen over Israel, Iran, and foreign intervention. Bill Maher is also facing backlash after criticizing Democrats for failing to condemn antisemitism strongly enough.
