Kristol Urges Democrats to Keep Pressure Amid Ongoing Trump-Era Conflicts

Bill Kristol warns that the conflict associated with Trump’s policies remains unresolved, senior military officials caution unsustainable operations, and taxpayers are funding Pentagon messaging about Iran.

In a recent commentary, Bill Kristol contended that the conflict stemming from Trump’s agenda is far from over, emphasizing warnings from senior military commanders to Hegseth about the unsustainability of extended operations in the area. He further alleged that U.S. citizens are covertly funding Pentagon propaganda efforts that attempt to convince the public that the situation in Iran is improving. Kristol urged Democratic lawmakers not to let Republicans easily approve a spending resolution that would keep the government funded without scrutiny.

He also highlighted Trump’s attempts to court Democrats by praising data centers and aligning with technology magnates. Additional points in his piece referenced a Venezuelan oil agreement, Laura Loomer’s anti-Islamic rhetoric, concerns about an elderly senator’s re-election, and criticism of a cabinet member named Marco.
