Half of President Donald Trump's MAGA base thought the Iran war was worth its economic costs in May. Now, just a little more than a third do.
That precipitous, 13-point drop in just two months, according to a new POLITICO Poll, reveals how the president's most die-hard supporters are starting to agree with the majority of Americans who have long opposed the U.S.' involvement in the war.
Additionally, 37 percent of self-identified MAGA Trump voters say the U.S. should continue its involvement only if it doesn't increase costs, up from 29 percent who said the same in May, according to the survey, conducted by independent polling firm Public First. Nearly 1 in 5 MAGA voters believe that the U.S. should end its war in Iran, regardless of the costs.
That flagging support among the president's most loyal supporters is the clearest sign that Americans' patience is wearing thin as the economy continues to dominate as voters' top concern heading into a critical midterm cycle.
But Trump on Monday gave little indication that he was looking for a quick end to the war. The U.S. military has pounded Iran for the last two weeks, and speaking to reporters on Tuesday the president claimed that Iranian officials "want to desperately meet" but that "until they are ready to meet in a meaningful way we have no interest in even talking."

WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said that the U.S. would take out ‌Pickaxe Mountain in Iran, as he warned that ‌Washington would continue to hit the country hard.
"We're going to take out Pickaxe Mountain. Tell the Iranians to be ready," Trump said in an interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
"We're watching (Pickaxe Mountain) closely. We see no activity there. They're not doing well ‌with their nuclear situation. ⁠Every time we hear about it, we blow it up. So they don't like talking ⁠about it. But we'll probably give Pickaxe a shot relatively soon," Trump said.
Pickaxe Mountain, located near Iran's heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, is a heavily fortified site that hosts two ‌deeply buried tunnel complexes that experts ******* s as beyond the reach of the most powerful bunker buster bombs in the U.S. ******* nal.
Trump earlier on Monday said the United States was reinstating its blockade of Iranian shipping in the ‌Gulf and would ensure the Strait of Hormuz stays open — for a fee — after the two sides exchanged more missile and drone attacks.

Louisiana's attorney general was indicted Thursday over accusations she threatened the jobs of New Orleans leaders who fought a Republican-led overhaul of local courts in the heavily Democratic city.
The 16-count indictment against Republican Liz Murrill, handed up by a New Orleans grand jury, charges Louisiana's first female attorney general with intimidation and malfeasance. At the center of the case are deepening rifts between state leaders in Louisiana, which is heavily Republican, and Democrats who control the state's most prominent city.
Republican Gov. Jeff Landry promised a swift pardon, saying Murrill would not have her reputation tarnished by an "Orleans Kangaroo court." Mayor Helena Moreno, a Democrat, was among those who had accused the state's top law enforcement official in May of making threats against public officials.
Murrill called the case against her "retaliatory, meritless, and unconstitutional." Late Thursday, Murrill said she had filed for an emergency stay with the Louisiana Supreme Court.
"I will not back down. I will continue enforcing the law, fighting corruption, and doing the job the people of Louisiana elected me to do," she wrote on X.

The canal mania of the 1830s. The British railway bubble of the 1840s. The dot-com crash of 2000. Each began with a genuine technological breakthrough that attracted more capital than commercial returns could ultimately justify. Each ended in a recession.
The Bank for International Settlements — the Basel-based institution that coordinates the world's central banks and serves as the global financial system's most authoritative watchdog — sees the $1 trillion AI investment boom in the same lineage. And it's not subtle about the comparison.
"The scale and pace of the current AI investment boom, accompanied by expectations of large productivity payoffs, bear resemblance to these precedents," the BIS writes in its Annual Economic Report 2026, released Sunday. "These episodes ended with an eventual reversal in investment, inducing economy-wide recessions."
The five largest hyperscalers are on pace to spend more than $1 trillion on AI-related capital expenditure across 2025 and 2026 combined — a sum the BIS says is already outpacing their earnings and free cash flow, forcing some to issue debt to cover the gap.
The BIS's concern isn't that AI is a fraud. The technology is real, and the report acknowledges that task-level studies consistently show productivity gains of 20% to 50% in time savings. But the concern is that every major hyperscaler is making the same massive bet simultaneously, driven by the perception that only a handful of players will ultimately dominate the market. That logic, the BIS warns, is a recipe for collective overcommitment.

Lindy Li, a former Democratic fundraiser who switched party affiliation over unheeded warning signs about President Joe Biden's decline in the 2024 election, is revealing new details about the red flags the party blew by.
"Whatever was out there, it wasn't the truth. They wanted him to go, and also in my book, I will be telling people exactly who was aware of Biden's cognitive decline but pretended otherwise," Li told Fox News Digital during a phone interview.
Li, who is publishing a new book ***** led "Unburdened" later this year, adds to the picture of the internal discussions, the research, and the panic behind the scenes of the Democratic Party, indicating that Biden enjoyed only shaky support even among his own camp long before he ultimately dropped out of the 2024 election.

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — Rex Heuermann, who will spend the rest of his life in prison after admitting to being the Gilgo Beach serial killer, had a "Dexter"-style kill room in his basement, according to the top prosecutor on the case.
"Very evocative of that, and I think when we realized what it was, you know, that was some of the comments that were made," said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney, who was personally part of the prosecution team that secured Heuermann's guilty plea. "We were actually able to recreate that, in the basement, in the exact location."
And that's the room where Heuermann's ex-wife now sleeps, according to a new docuseries, "The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets," where she said so herself.
Heuermann received the maximum possible sentence from Judge Timothy Mazzei Wednesday — three consecutive terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole, followed by four consecutive terms of 25 years to life in prison.

LONDON (AP) — Britain's deputy prime minister said Sunday that he told U.S. Vice President JD Vance he was wrong to blame immigration for the death of a university student who was handcuffed as he lay dying from a stab wound.
David Lammy, who is also the justice minister, said he challenged Vance in what he described as a "robust" phone call on Saturday. Lammy and Vance have struck up a friendship, based on their religious beliefs and family backgrounds, even though they come from different sides of the political spectrum.
"We had an agreeable conversation because we have got a relationship, but I wanted to make him clear that I disagree with some of the facts that he was **** erting and to present the facts to him," Lammy told Sky News.
The call came a day after Vance said in a post on social platform X that there should be "righteous anger" in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, 18, who died in December after being stabbed by Vickrum Digwa in the English city of Southampton.
Digwa, who is Sikh, falsely claimed to police he was the victim of a racist **** ault by Nowak, who was white. When police officers arrived, they initially treated the wounded man as a suspect before noticing his injury and trying to resuscitate him.
