REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?

😳😳😳😳

Mike Johnson's strategy to allow the Trump admin to do whatever it wants with zero oversight or congressional authority or input is just to keep the House out of session repeatedly for extended periods of time.

Trump's dad was in fact born in New York City

BLUMENTHAL: Wouldn't you agree no citizen working lawfully should be arrested?

NOEM: There are times when they may be arrested or detained until identity is confirmed

B: Would you agree citizens should not be arrested?

N: When there's probable cause ...

B: They said, 'Get him. He's Mexican'

I need to stress something here:

The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler.

I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.

NEWS: Military Commanders Tell Troops Trump Was 'Anointed by Jesus' to Lead Iran War as Republicans Grill Kristi Noem in Stunning Display Good afternoon.

Major update: Military commanders tell troops that Trump was ‘anointed by Jesus’ to lead Iran war, one that is ‘biblically sanctioned.’

Republicans rip Kristi Noem on Capitol Hill in stunning hearing.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans trapped in Middle East.

She was hedging. She didn't call him a domestic terrorist, she said he committed an act of domestic terrorism. The former is a legal term, the latter is vague slop. It was on purpose.

US health officials are trying to delay a regional World Health Organization meeting that would confirm the loss of its measles elimination status until after the midterm elections in November.

This is a reckless, accountability-dodging move that puts politics over public health.

Excellent advice right here.

Ted Lieu to Marco Rubio “You told Americans to depart now via commercial means when you know many airports/airspace are closed — Maybe you should have thought of a frickin’ plan first”

Reminder: Four Americans died in Benghazi — six have died & three jets have been shot down in three days in Iran

Netanyahu told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the assault on Iran “is not an endless war.”

He famously said the same thing in 2002 about the Iraq War.

His prediction that removing Saddam Hussein would bring “positive reverberations” after the 2003 Iraq invasion did not come to fruition.

us military.... innocent children

I love it, but it would be nice if they had courage before they announced retirement.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Trump thinks bombing Iran will cause a revolution. He's an ignorant moron. In the face of a foreign invasion by the US and Israel, the citizens of Iran are consolidating their support for the regime, not trying to overthrow it. Nothing brings people together like a threat from outside.

The death toll from the Iran school tragedy has hit 148, mostly children aged 7–12, with 95 others wounded. A staggering, unforgivable loss that defines our current moral decay.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Excuse me?

Gallego: "There's a lot of ways we can be supportive of Israel. But we don't need to go to war for them, especially when it's a dumb war."

THE CONTRAST IS INCREDIBLE

As the U.S. and Israel launched a war with Iran, Trump emerged from the makeshift SCIF at Mar-a-Lago to make an appearance at his $1M-per-plate fundraiser.

📌 Four U.S. troops have already died in combat.

Brandon Straka: I’m at the Pentagon this morning for a briefing with @SecWar @PeteHegseth on the Iran strikes. Session starts in 10 minutes.

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

So for all you “leave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them?

Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones.

And this is just Iran. Not a peer.

They literally started “this war”.

How exactly are we supposed to respond to Pete Hegseth angrily snapping, "We didn't start this war!" when they *bloody well did* and and the whole world watched it happen on television?

Does he not actually know that by every conceivable standard America is the aggressor here?

Trump reads the story of a veteran who saved his fellow troops and then ad libs: "That story is 100 percent correct, isn't it, huh? How much have you paid him over the years? Have you said, 'Take everything we have, we wouldn't be here,' right?"
