This was the State Department's statement only yesterday giving the deal the thumbs up.

Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover
LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.
After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

Marco Rubio just flew to Budapest to deliver a speech in which he provided a full endorsement of Viktor Orbán in the upcoming Hungarian elections.
Here is the letter he signed in 2019 warning about Hungary's "downward democratic trajectory" under Orbán

Ah yes, Rubio's ‘love letter’ to Europe.
Marco Rubio just gave JD Vance’s message a nicer suit:
slam the door on migrants,
rebrand exclusion as ‘heritage,’
and top it off with an ‘our way or the highway’ ultimatum—
plus demand to stop bending to climate alarmism. 🤷♀️

Really worth noting the way the State Department is defining Rubio's Munich speech. A love letter to Europe it was not.

Not at all clear why Rubio's speech in Munich would have fostered a "sigh of relief", as Wolfgang Ischinger claimed. Any "sigh of relief" would be a further act of delusion by those doing the sighing.
