BREAKING: I just spoke to President Trump he said youโ€™ll find soon what the retaliation will be for the attack on the U.S. embassy in Riyadh and for the U.S. service members killed. 

He also told me he doesnโ€™t think boots on the ground will be necessary.

notable that Trump's media strategy to sell this war is doing bespoke phone conversations with individual reporters instead of answering questions publicly

Rubioโ€™s idiotic justification for the โ€œimminent threatโ€โ€”that Israel was going to act anyway, and we couldnโ€™t do anything about it, and we allegedly were going to be hit by Iran in responseโ€”is going over like a lead balloon. The administration could have real problems in Congress later this week.

White House's "War Powers Report" to Congress for attack on Iran.โฌ‡๏ธ

Two conspicuous absences:

1. The word "imminent" appears nowhere. There is thus no justification in the Report for proceeding without prior congressional authorization.

2. No reference to wellbeing/protection of Iranian people.

No one has any idea what this war with Iran is about. What are Trumpโ€™s objectives? They donโ€™t have nukes and arenโ€™t close to having them.

Trump isnโ€™t clear why heโ€™s bombing Iranians and getting US troops killed.

He thinks attacks make him look strong. But we had a nuclear treaty and he tore it up

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So letโ€™s start there.

As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.

This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.
