Trump's clarification on 'Iran regime change' divides MAGA further: JD Vance, Hegseth, Marco Rubio 'humiliated'
Donald Trump's regime change comment has divided MAGA further. After President Donald Trump clarified his stance on a 'regime change' in Iran, the MAGA got further divided as those who still sided with the US attack on Iran's three nuclear sites could not approve that the US would now want a regime change in Iran. Especially after Vice President JD Vance, defense secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that US was not aiming at a regime change in Iran. Trump's statement that if the present regime is not Making Iran Great Again, then why its should not be changed came across as a humiliation to his top aides who were privy to US's Operation Midnight Hammer. 'It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!' Trump wrote on Truth Social. JD Vance earlier said dropping bombs on Iran's nuclear sites was a tactical move, US is not at war with Iran. "We are at war with Iran's nuclear program," Vance said. 'Well, look, that's up to the Israelis, but our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change. We do not want to protract this or build this out any more than it's already been built out. We want to end their nuclear program, and then we want to talk to the Iranians about a long-term settlement here. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Pelajari Undo ' Rubio said US was not attacking Iranian people. 'This wasn't a regime-change move. This was designed to degrade and/or destroy three nuclear sites related to their nuclear weaponization ambitions, and that was delivered on yesterday,' he said. Hegseth too said it was not about regime change. "The President authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program". Marjorie Taylor Greene says it feels like a complete bait Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said Trump's MAGA agenda included no more foreign wars, nor more regime change. "It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!" she said. Right-wing commentator Candace Owens marveled at Trump's use of the expression 'regime change' and said now 'REAL MAGA' would explain to the 'traitors' how resisting Iran's regime change is "woke right". Another MAGA commentator Alex Jones accused Trump of breaking his promise to the American people and "pushing the planet to the edge of a NUCLEAR WORLD WAR'.

Council Calls For Applications To Help Transform Water Quality Across Auckland
Auckland Council's Regional Waterway Protection Fund (RWPF) and Making Space for Rural Water Fund are now open for applications, offering up to $800,000 in grants to rural landowners committed to improving freshwater quality and restoring biodiversity across the region. Applications are open from 16 June to 27 July 2025. Now in its 10th year, the RWPF supports fencing and native planting projects that protect waterways from livestock, reduce sediment runoff, and enhance aquatic ecosystems. The fund operates on a 50/50 partnership model, with Auckland Council providing financial support, restoration plans and technical advice, and landowners contributing cash or in-kind labour. This year, priority areas include the Papakura Stream, Matakana River, Ōrere River, Āwhitu Catchment, and Aotea / Great Barrier Island. Grants will also be available through the Making Space for Water Fund, designed to complement these efforts. Tom Mansell, Auckland Council's Head of Sustainable Partnerships says the fund continues to deliver real change. 'Improving rural water quality is one of the most meaningful actions we can take to protect our environment. It benefits not only the land and water but the communities that depend on them,' says Mr Mansell. The projects, funded through the RWPF, are a long-term investment in the health of our ecosystems. These initiatives are a powerful example of how collaboration between landowners, council and community can restore balance to our natural landscapes. Projects eligible for funding include: • stock-exclusion fencing • riparian planting using eco-sourced natives • fish passage improvements • alternative water supplies for livestock. Applications will be assessed on environmental outcomes, project feasibility, community involvement, and alignment with iwi and hapū values. RWPF-funded projects are already reshaping rural Auckland—restoring wetlands, protecting native species, and building stronger connections between people and place.

New York Democrat fears 'hysterical' resistance will crowd out much-needed restructuring of the party
Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., on Monday said members of the "hysterical" and "hyperbolic" side of his party risk pushing back on the restructuring that Democrats need. On his "Making Sense" podcast, host Sam Harris asked Torres about whether he believed the Democratic Party will begin swinging further to the left or moderate itself after losing ground with working-class voters in 2024. Torres remarked that "it remains to be seen," though he's seen recognition that the party was likely too far left on immigration issues. In the meantime, he urged there to be a "fundamental restructuring" of the party and "return to a rational center." Ny Democrat Calls Out Far-left 'Absurdities' From 'College-educated Elites' Influencing Party He feared President Donald Trump and the "Team Resistance" Democrats would prevent that from happening. "There's a divide between what I would say are two teams in the Democratic Party," Torres said. "There's Team Restraint and Team Resistance, right? There are those in Team Resistance who feel like we should react hysterically to everything that Donald Trump says or does, and then there are those who feel like we should pick and choose our battles and be strategic." Read On The Fox News App He continued, "But I worry that the momentum is on the side of hysterical, hyperbolic resistance, and the enormous expenditure of time and energy in resistance might crowd out the restructuring and moderation that needs to happen within the Democratic Party." Torres has been a vocal critic of his party for "pandering" to the far left and has gone so far as to blame them for Trump's re-election in November.
