Tulsi Gabbard: "How does a war with Iran serve the best interest of the American people?… It would cost U.S. taxpayers trillions of dollars…Forget about having the resources that we need for things like healthcare, education, and affordable housing." (2019)

Tulsi Gabbard: "This president and his chickenhawk cabinet have led us to the brink of war with Iran…No war with Iran." (2019)

Tulsi Gabbard: "A war with Iran would make the war in Iraq look like a cakewalk. The devastation and the costs would be far greater than anything we've ever experienced before."

Tulsi Gabbard: "An all out war with Iran would make the wars that we've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan look like a picnic. It will be far more costly in lives, American lives, and American taxpayer dollars — and all towards accomplishing what goal? What objective?" (2020)

Tulsi Gabbard released a fundraising video in 2019 titled "Trump's Path To War With Iran"

Tulsi Gabbard's endorsement of Trump in 2024: " I am confident that [Trump's] first task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war. We cannot be prosperous unless we are at peace."

JD Vance 9 months before the Trump administration launched a new regime change war: " Our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change. We do not want to protract this or build this out any more than it's already been built out."

NEW: "What happened to me is not about politics. It is not about immigration policy. And it is not about one bad decision made in a chaotic moment."

JD Vance in 2024: " Our interest, I think, very much is in not going to war with Iran.  It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country."

Trump on Iran in 2012: "You could make a much better deal than war, but it may be good politics."

Pete Hegseth: "The War Department will not be distracted by democracy-building, interventionism, undefined wars, regime change…and feckless nation-building."

Trump in 2011: " I think Obama will go to war with Iran because I think he views it as good politically, and that's pretty sad…With the kind of leadership we have, we'll probably have to use the military and we can make a better deal without having to do it."

Trump in 2012: " I happen to think that the president is going to start a war with Iran. I think it'll be a short term popular thing to do and I think he's going to do that for political reasons."

Trump: " We are finally putting America first. Our policy of never ending war regime change and nation-building is being replaced by the clear eye pursuit of American interest…It is the job of our military to protect our security, not to be the policeman of the world."

Trump: "I'm not going to start a war. I'm gonna stop wars…I am the candidate of peace. I am peace."

Sen. Rosen to Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: "[Pam Bondi] wouldn't even turn around and look at you…'But what about the Dow?'… It was shameful…The way she looked down as you stood there so bravely. I'm so proud of you."

Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: "This idea that [Trump] was exonerated is so inaccurate…We know that there is evidence out there that really needs to be investigated. It's never gone through a process, so how could he be exonerated?"

Trump on his campaign donations: " Larry Ellison made a very big contribution. And a friend of the governor and mine is right here, Steve Witkoff, who also made a very big contribution. We appreciate it very much. Thank you."

Trump: " Larry Ellison is great and his son David is great. They're friends of mine. They're big supporters of mine and they'll do the right thing."

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "The federal government, in a secret move, announced that they intended to construct two massive ICE detention centers here in Pennsylvania…I don't want either of these sites here…and I intend to use every tool at my disposal to stop these facilities."

Sen. Chris Murphy: "[Trump] wants to keep the conversation away from Epstein…Iran occupies our political space, and folks aren't talking about the fact that there's an active cover-up to prevent the exposure of the president's connection to a child sex ring."

Sen. Chris Murphy: "A year ago, Donald Trump told us that he had obliterated — that's his word, obliterated — Iran's nuclear weapons program, only to find out last weekend that Iran is now just a week away from getting a nuclear weapon."

Rep. Moulton on missing Epstein files: "If these accusations had any semblance of being false, then they would release the records that show that the FBI investigation it pursued came to a dead end…It's very suspicious that they're covering them up."

Rep. Garcia: "My promise to the survivors…we're going to go where the truth is and hold anyone that causes harm and terror to them responsible. We don't care if they're Democrats or Republicans, how powerful they are, what political party they're in, how much wealth they have."

Rep. Garcia: "Not only do I believe they are engaged in a cover-up, this would be the single largest government cover-up in modern history…We know that these files correlate with testimony from a survivor that directly accused both Epstein and Trump of sexual abuse."

Q: "Do you believe the president is under investigation?"

Rep. Garcia: "The truth is that we just don't know…Either the president is under investigation or the DOJ is lying to us. That's the only reason left that they could be withholding these documents for."

Gov. Andy Beshear on the State of the Union address: "Trump claimed a golden age for our economy. Maybe it's a golden age for his family, which is profiting off the presidency…If you talk to most American families they'll say they're either treading water or drowning."

NEW from @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "He’s banking on the fact that, amid all this, the American people won’t be able to see the forest for the trees."
