The Take
Jordan Calloway · Government Secrets & FOIA

The Reuters/Ipsos poll that's suddenly everywhere is doing exactly what it's designed to do: distract from the *actual* scandal nobody's asking about. Yes, Trump's approval is tanking. Fine. But where's the forensic breakdown of *why* we're in an Iran conflict that Congress never voted on? I've filed FOIA requests on the intelligence briefings that justified this escalation. Three months in, State Department won't release the damage assessments. Defense Intelligence Agency claims "sources and methods" on documents dated 2019. That's pretext. The fuel price angle Reuters is pushing? It's theater. The real story is that we're running a kinetic operation in the Middle East with zero legislative authorization, zero public accounting, and a media apparatus more interested in polling numbers than asking *who signed off on this*. Trump's low approval rating is a symptom, not news. The actual malfeasance—the classified justifications, the contractor payments, the rules of engagement nobody's seen—that's the story. Reuters just handed us a distraction dressed as analysis.
