Trice

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

Just now: Texas Democratic Party says “hundreds of Dallas County voters are being turned away from the polls” because of new Republican-led requirements that they vote only in their precinct, rather than anywhere in the county #txlege

The Birthrate Is Plunging. Why Some Say That’s a Good Thing.

imagine creating THE most hostile economic, social, and political environment in 60 years and expect people to procreate

If they had DEI they’d know it was Targét not Tarzhay

Rep. Carlos Gimenez: "He has the power to exercise what he's been doing so far and if he deems it necessary for the operations that we put some boots on the ground for some reason, I think he has the authority to do that ... I'm not going to restrain him"

TAPPER: US troops have died. You really don't think there's any role for Congress other than being informed?

REP. GIMENEZ: Not right now

Q: Is there any point you think Congress will need to give congressional authorization?

MIKE JOHNSON: My understanding of the law is that the president is acting well within his authority. It's not a declaration of war. It's not required because it's defensive in design.

RAJU: Congress has the authority to declare war. Shouldn't it have authorized this war?

MIKE JOHNSON: In my view, uh, right now our military and the commander in chief is presiding over the completion of an operation that was limited in scope

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

"You can assume, because it's common sense" -- Mike Johnson claims Trump's war on Iran is actually defensive because if Israel attacked Iran, Iran was going to retaliate against the US

Marco Rubio: "The hardest hits are yet to come from the US military. The next phase will be even more punishing on Iran."

Marco Rubio: "No presidential administration has ever accepted the War Powers Act as constitutional"

Trump: "The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge. In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these 'Correspondents' now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER! Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Trump: "The WCHA has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner ... In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these 'Correspondents' now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., it will be my Honor"

Trump: "If I didn’t terminate Obama’s horrendous Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), Iran would have had a Nuclear Weapon three years ago. That was the most dangerous transaction we have ever entered into, and had it been allowed to stand, the World would be an entirely different place right now. You can blame Barack Hussein Obama, and Sleepy Joe Biden. THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!"

Trump: "If I didn’t terminate Obama’s horrendous JCPOA, Iran would have had a Nuclear Weapon 3 years ago. That was the most dangerous transaction we have ever entered into, and had it been allowed to stand, the World would be entirely different. You can blame Barack Hussein Obama & Sleepy Joe Biden"

Markwayne Mullin: "We've taken out their leadership and 40 other individuals. As the president joked about, he's created jobs in Iran, which I thought was hilarious."

Rep. Rick Crawford: "We've been at war with Iran for 47 years, it's just now that we have a president who's willing to end it"

Trump: "The Radical Left Democrats, a Party that has completely lost its way, are complaining bitterly about the very necessary and important attack, by the United States and Israel, on Iran. What most people understand is that they are only complaining BECAUSE I DID IT and, if I didn’t do it, they would be screaming — Why didn’t 'TRUMP' attack Iran, he should do it, IMMEDIATELY? There’s nothing surprising about this! It’s the same people that the other night at The State of the Union Address wouldn’t stand for ANYBODY, including a mother who lost her beautiful daughter to an illegal alien, a Great and Brave Helicopter Pilot, who got the Congressional Medal of Honor, or a 100-year-old Veteran Warrior whose Bravery is Legend! The fact is, whatever I do, they will be on the opposite side. These people are SICK, CRAZY, and DEMENTED, but America, despite them all, is now BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Trump: "The Radical Left Democrats, a Party that has completely lost its way, are complaining bitterly about the very necessary and important attack, by the US & Israel, on Iran. What most people understand is that they are only complaining B/C I DID IT &, if I didn’t do it, they would be screaming"

Marco Rubio: "We went proactively in a defensive way"

Gallego: "Young American men and women are dying because of these idiots"

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."

HAYES: The US is choosing the date of engagement. We decided when we launched

GALLEGO: We actually don't know that. It seems like we may have actually launched at time that was pushed by Israel, because if there was proper planning you would've hardened these positions

JD Vance: "There's just no way that Donald Trump is gonna allow this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no end in sight"

kind of astounding to consider that Trump won the 2024 election to a significant extent because Biden's support for Israel became so politically toxic, then he decided a good governing strategy would be to become full on a client state of Israel

big night for John Fetterman -- he's going on Hannity after Netanyahu

Bibi is on Hannity's show doing tricks for Trump, obviously with the knowledge that he's watching and loving it

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Chris Murphy: "There is 0 history of an air strike campaign alone toppling a dictatorship and transitioning a country to democracy. We know that air strikes do not knock out Iran's nuclear capability. Why? Because we did air strikes last year. President Trump lied to the American public."

“Imagine this fantasy”

Netanyahu: "Imagine what they would do, these people who chant 'death to America,' if they had ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads to deliver to every American city."

SHEEHY: Democrats are defending the Ayatollah

COLLINS: Who is?

S: Elizabeth Warren's former campaign manager

C: I don't know who that is. But Warren is not defending the Ayatollah

S: The NYT published an obituary describing him as 'avuncular'

C: That was the Post. But that's not a Dem
