The Trump administration's national security strategy, co-authored by Elbridge Colby, focuses on "spheres of influence" and resource realism. This plan advocates for getting out of the "Europe management business" and de-prioritizing the Middle East to focus on domestic stability and containing China. Trump is urged to follow the advice of JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard rather than neoconservative holdovers.

Senators Tom Cotton and Lindsey Graham are scrutinized for their leadership of the International Republican Institute, which receives hundreds of millions in taxpayer awards. The NGO is accused of spending millions on private jets and fringe benefits while promoting foreign aid to Ukraine. Cotton is specifically criticized for allegedly blocking Elbridge Colby's appointment to the Defense Department.
