Jamie Dimon, Mark Carney, and Tony Blair are suddenly echoing Trump because a major shift in economic and strategic power is underway — and contrasts their rebranding with the Trump administration's revival of the American System.
While the country watched the Texas runoff, Barbara and Susan tracked the real story: Iran isn't an Israel war — it's the City of London's last stand. The Abraham Accords are the eviction notice. And the Fed is the same war's home front.

State Representative Shawn Thierry of Houston announced Friday morning that she was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican. Thierry's primary election contest in the spring of 2024 was widely described as a test of whether Democratic lawmakers who do not fully support LGBTQ+ causes could continue to exist in the Democratic Party.
Rep. Thierry not only voted in 2023 for a measure barring gender-transitioning care for minors, she delivered an emotional speech from the House floor, explaining her vote, which went viral.
The Democratic lined up a primary opponent vs. Thierry, Lauren Ashley Simmons. Simmons received large amounts of money and endorsements from Democratic Party elected officials; it was made clear that Thierry's actions were not to be tolerated by the Democratic Party. Despite support from a coalition of black ministers, Thierry was overwhelmed by the massive campaign against her and lost the primary runoff election.
In the statement she released on August 30, announcing that she was leaving the Democratic Party and joining the Republican Party, Thierry said:
...For my entire life, I have voted as a Democrat. . .
I have watched with dismay as the party I once knew has drifted far from its roots.
It has become almost unrecognizable --radicalized and increasingly out of touch with the values that millions of everyday Americans hold dear.
I now stand with the party of Lincoln, the party that fought to preserve our Union and fought to end the atrocities of slavery.
In 2024, the Republican Party champions economic empowerment. . .it is the party that fosters prosperity and entrepreneurial opportunities, enable small business owners to not just survive, but to thrive, fulfilling the promise of the American dream. . .
Together, we can nurture and protect our children by creating a safer, brighter future for them. Together, we can restore the spirit, security, and soul of America.

Mike explores how Trump's Middle East diplomacy, the Abraham Accords, and the rise of sovereign nation-states are reshaping the 21st century order.
Barbara Boyd on Judy Shelton's MSNBC challenge to Fed Keynesianism, Kevin Warsh's "regime change," the 1944 Keynes-vs-White Bretton Woods fight, and how Trump's executive-branch credit channels and Rubio's India trip point to a Core Five alignment that bypasses the City of London.
Here's why Trump's suggestion that Iran could join the Abraham Accords reflects a foreign policy of real physical economics — and why the CFR's new "Future of American Strategy" project is a tacit admission that the British-led liberal international order is finished.
