Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Is Hegseth finally going to admit he bombed the elementary school, take responsibility and apologize, or is this another Neanderthal session of chest-beating trash-talking bullshit?
America has gone full on Nazi under Trump.
This is terrifying, this is dangerous.
Call. It. Out.
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."
Don’t Believe One Word From this President….
Well, doesn’t that title sound honorable “Interior Proposes to Restore State-Aligned Hunting Regulations on Alaska National Preserves.” What it actually means is the Trump administration just moved to bring bear baiting back to Alaska’s national preserves.
Kids grow fast, and so do we.
This fall, we're adding more than 1,000 seats for universal 3-K in 56 zip codes. Childcare will be more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs.

No public statements from any House Republican leaders on Ogles' post.
No denunciation from any House Republicans.
No responses to any of my requests for comment from House Republican leaders, U.S. senators from Tennessee, the Tennessee Republican Party or Ogles' office.
Dissolve the agency in acid, and hold its leaders to account.
YES. In the same sentence he said the war was complete, he proposed a policy that would vastly enlarge the war! Media reported the first half, and then later reported a different part to make it seem like a change! But it was incoherent, nonsensical slop all along.
This, too, is sanewashing!
He certainly is a POS.
The Trump administration is treating disabled veterans like criminals.
They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.
Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.
Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.
i'm watching Fox News where right now air raid sirens are blaring in Tel Aviv and the Fox correspondent is about ready to duck for cover. doesn't seem very over!
Trump, who is actively covering up the Epstein files, is really leaning heavily into the MAGA religious cult vibes today.
He also posted this video that uses a story about a Trump family Bible to imply God chose Trump to usher in a revival.
He went from “unconditional surrender” and “I must pick their new leader” to full “just declare victory and get the hell out” TACO Trump.
Average price of gas is up 50 cents nationally since Trump launched his war with Iran — the fastest spike at the pump in years.
And for what? Trump can't even explain why he's forcing America into this disaster in the first place.
why, you could even say the mission was accomplished
So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?
Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-Tennessee) has become the latest Republican lawmaker to voice blatantly Islamophobic sentiments.
He declared on X that “Diversity is our weakness” and called for the deportation of even naturalized Muslim Americans.
BREAKING: Two more people have died in ICE detention, per required notification to Congress.
A toothache.
A man died in ICE detention after he developed a TOOTHACHE.
And ICE didn’t get him basic medical care.
The Gámez-Cuéllar family has been released from Dilley! We just picked them up.
Since Rep. Andy Ogles is back in the news for the typically bigoted, boneheaded reasons, it's another opportunity to point out that he once raised $25K to open a cemetery for miscarried babies. He then ditched the idea and can't explain what happened to the money.
