🔥🔊 Cuban leaders are gone, whether we do it through an invasion or not — US Senator

Senator Kennedy is explaining the options for the Cuban leaders after the US announced charges against former President Raul Castro.

💬 "I'd rather do it the easy way, but that's kind of up to the Communists running things," he declared.

Trump had previously promised not to escalate the situation. Meanwhile, the USS Nimitz carrier strike group sailed into the Caribbean.

📹⚔️ Dozens of US refueling aircraft land at Ben Gurion airport

Footage from today shows a fleet of aerial tankers arriving in Tel Aviv. The message is unmistakable: Washington is refueling for a long fight – or a big one.

Their arrival in Tel Aviv comes as Trump tells reporters he's willing to wait "a couple of days" for Iran's response in negotiations.

"If I can save war by waiting a couple of days… I think it's a great thing to do."

Wait a couple of days – while bombers refuel.

🇺🇸 Intelligence official Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a Gabbard ally, leaves two jobs

The daughter-in-law of RFK Jr. held top posts at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Office of Management and Budget.

Five people familiar with the matter confirmed Kennedy’s plans. One of the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Kennedy’s departure hasn’t been formally announced, said it involved, at least in part, her disagreement with Trump’s military involvement in Iran.

In a May 8 email reviewed by The Washington Post, Kennedy told colleagues she was leaving to return to the private sector. “Being a mom is God’s greatest gift, and after two years on the campaign trail and a year serving in this extraordinary Administration, I have to make sure my family has all it needs,” she wrote.

Kennedy made no mention of Iran in the email, which praised Trump. She indicated that this Friday would be her last day on the job.

Kennedy, a former CIA undercover officer, simultaneously has held three intelligence posts: a deputy to Gabbard at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI); an associate director at the Office of Management and Budget overseeing classified intelligence budgets; and a member of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.
