A left-right anti-war alliance is forming around opposition to US funding of Israel's wars, and it could scramble both parties' 2028 plans.

• Republican candidates are being pressed to disavow Tucker Carlson over his criticism of Israel, with Ted Cruz leading the attacks and JD Vance refusing to drop him.
• Carlson said he would not vote for Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate candidate in Michigan, backing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed instead.
• Rogers is seen as a donor-picked loser who already lost once, favored because he follows big pharma and defense money.
• The bigger story is a possible coalition of anti-war voters on both sides, united against endless wars and corporate power rather than by party.
• Carlson is also drifting toward economic populism, including talk of restricting AI to protect trucking jobs.

Outlook: The Michigan Senate race becomes the test of whether this cross-party alliance can actually deliver votes.
