Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
Alina Habba condemns Kamala Harris’s remarks at Reggie Jackson’s funeral. (It was Jesse Jackson).
Trump: "You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
holy shit
DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--
TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.
LINDSEY GRAHAM: Israel and the United States -- you just wait to see what comes the next two weeks
BARTIROMO: Meaning what?
GRAHAM: We're going to blow the hell out of these people
Tom Emmer still won't call Trump's war a war, but instead says "this is a short-term experience"
For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.
In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.
The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Kristi Noem has been fired and replaced by the dumbest US Senator.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
The need for congressional approval to declare war is “something of a brake on the process of entering into a conflict”—and “this weekend’s attack on Iran smashes through those limits altogether,” Quinta Jurecic argues.
Well would you look at that
So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.
Insane.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
I predict this man has a very bright future.

Y’all cracking me up with the “this is just a distraction from Epstein” like we can’t be outraged about an unnecessary war and still think he’s a pedo.
I dunno guys. I kinda feel like the administration overplayed their hand starting a war to distract from ICE to distract from the economy to distract from the Epstein Files...
It’s no coincidence that Trump finally pulled the trigger on his Iran war when the FBI files on him raping a 13 year old were finally being discussed in mainstream news room and at US kitchen tables. Clearly his nerves are wrecked.
Is this, too, from shaking lots of hands?
"The Peace President."
History??
Donald Trump???
Don't forget that Trump is so profoundly ignorant of history that his chief of staff Gen. John Kelly once had to explain to him the significance of … Pearl Harbor.

Hegseth: “We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”
The truth: We did start this war two days ago. And now, apparently, we're not going to finish it in a way that will make it worth fighting. And we have a constitutional crisis.
