🇺🇸🇮🇷 The next Iran war could start before anyone officially declares it. Brandon spoke with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson as reports emerged of explosions near Iranian missile positions. Nobody had established who was responsible, but Johnson warned that the military activity, diplomatic maneuvering and Netanyahu's reported clash with his own army chief could be signs of a much bigger escalation. He believes Israeli military leaders are trying to stop Netanyahu from creating a crisis that could delay the elections. Then the conversation turned to America's troops. Johnson described a heartbreaking account of a young National Guardsman who reportedly took his own life after receiving orders to deploy again. He's also concerned about wounded troops, inadequate support and the toll of repeated deployments. The politicians are debating another round of strikes. The people expected to fight it are still living with the last one. @WeTheBrandon @NewSonof

🇧🇷 Brazil’s count is MOVING again! With nearly 60% reported, Lula now leads Flávio Bolsonaro by about 1 percentage point, roughly 800,000 votes.

What matters now is where the remaining votes are coming from. Writer: Oliver

🚨🇷🇸 Serbia's longtime ruling party just LOST a snap parliamentary election to a student-backed movement that spent nearly two years protesting against the government. Vučić conceded defeat after preliminary results showed the Student List ahead, ending more than a decade of dominance by his Serbian Progressive Party. The movement erupted after a railway station canopy collapsed in Novi Sad in 2024, killing 16 people and triggering massive protests over alleged corruption. Voter turnout hit its highest level in more than 30 years, and crowds poured into the streets of Belgrade to celebrate. A deadly infrastructure disaster sparked a student revolt, the protests grew into a nationwide movement, and now they've delivered a political earthquake. Vučić's own words: “It is clear that we lost these elections.” Writer: Sol t.co/9CAbFgQciz

And he wants to work with Serbia on its path toward joining the EU. The new government isn't even formed yet, and Brussels is already knocking on the door. Writer: Daniyal
