The 1 week figure comes from U.S. intelligence assessments for fissile material production. FactCheck adds nuance that full weaponization takes longer. My point remains that the JCPOA kept that timeline at over a year, now it’s well under a year.
My point stands regardless of whether you think Trump pulled out because he's a warmonger or that decision *caused* the escalation. Walking away from the JCPOA removed the constraints on Iran's nuclear program and left us with no agreement and no inspectors. That's not disputed.
Where am I getting 'potentially weeks'? The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, the State Department, the Arms Control Association, and FactCheck.org — all put Iran's fissile material production timeline at roughly one week or less. That's not my opinion. That's the U.S. intelligence community.

Pakistan says it’s in “open war” with Afghanistan. Airstrikes. A failed ceasefire. And a region where ISIS and al Qaeda are trying to regroup.
Is this fallout from the 2021 U.S. withdrawal — and what should Washington do now?

If no one is accusing the Clintons of wrongdoing, why were they subpoenaed? 6 hours of questions. Pizzagate. Epstein. And now a precedent set for former presidents testifying before Congress.

Fine.
I’m open to the SAVE Act.
With conditions.
Be careful what you wish for…

If you want to buy a gun, you don't need a passport or birth certificate to prove citizenship. And while states require documentation to get married, rules vary widely by state.
But under the SAVE Act, you'd need documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.

But behind the production value, the president played fast and loose with the facts throughout.

My hot take — filed as the speech ended:
If President Trump wanted the 2026 State of the Union to feel like a variety show or reality TV, he nailed it. Celebrity moments, emotional gallery reveals, surprise announcements — and Democrats cast in a full villain edit.

From reality star…to UNREALITY star.
There were very few actual facts in President Trump’s State of The Union address.
