Leaked messages reveal that U.S. officials celebrated a Yemeni airstrike that killed at least 13 civilians, with Vice President J.D. Vance calling the destruction of a building housing a purported Houthi target “excellent.” National Security Advisor Michael Waltz described the strike as “amazing,” while CIA Director John Ratcliffe called it “a good start.” Critics, including Rep. Maxwell Frost, have condemned these actions as a war crime, highlighting the violation of international law prohibiting the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure. The U.S. conducted numerous strikes in Yemen around the same time, resulting in significant civilian casualties.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s approval ratings, while initially higher than her disapproval ratings, consistently struggled to surpass 50 percent. In contrast, J.D. Vance’s favorability is even lower than Harris’s at a similar point in their respective terms, potentially the worst for a new vice president in polling history. This is particularly concerning given that vice presidents typically start with higher public approval. Vance’s low standing, coupled with a lack of Trump’s endorsement and an unsustainable emulation of Trump’s divisive style, significantly hinders his presidential aspirations. His prospects are further challenged by the potential for a Trump dynasty and the likelihood that voters will seek a departure from Trumpism by 2028.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz sharply criticized J.D. Vance and Elon Musk for downplaying the resurgence of Germany’s far-right AfD party and its extremist views, including Holocaust denial and anti-transgender rhetoric.

These actions, which include restricting gender-affirming care and removing transgender people from federal recognition, have severe consequences for the transgender community and raise alarm about a potential repeat of historical atrocities. The article concludes with a call to action to oppose these discriminatory policies and protect the rights of transgender individuals.
