Trump says he launched this war due to "my opinion."

This is how a dictator speaks.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

Trump admits there were no evacuation plans for Americans abroad due to his war with Iran "because it all happened very quickly."

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

The Golden Age of everything costs more, former allies all hating us, bombing new countries monthly, huge ballrooms and triumphal arches, crypto pump and dumps, AI data centers, record debt, protestors shot, absentee House, Epstein coverup, private jets for affairs, and FBI security for girlfriends.

HIRONO: DHS was lying that Ms Martinez was a domestic terrorist who ambushed federal agents. Yes or no -- that was a lie?

NOEM: Every day our law enforcement officers face tragic situations--

HIRONO: I'm not hearing yes or no. It was a lie.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Tillis: "In about a week and half, we're gonna get a plaque on the wall in the Capitol thank the Capitol police officers and all the agencies that responded on January 6. All those thugs have been pardoned, and yet we haven't thanked the Capitol police officers for their work."

Hirono walks Noem through just a few of the many lies she's been caught in

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

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.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Republicans to Democrats: We started a war so now you have to agree to additional DHS funding without ICE reforms.

KAINE: To wage offensive war, the framers of the Constitution were absolutely plain that you gotta come to Congress

KERNEN: But it's almost a moot point

KAINE: Let me just underline the fact that I made an argument about the Constitution and you said it's a 'moot point.' I don't believe that

Kaine: "Donald Trump abandoned diplomacy and now our service members are dying as a result. Iran has shown it will reach a deal to block its nuclear path. Donald Trump prefers war and he doesn't want to come to Congress to ask for permission."

Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.

“The Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating v...

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

When the media covers war, every other topic fades Trump will do anything to distract from the political damage of the Epstein files

Thank you Margaret. This needs to be highlighted. Keep your focus on the margins of what is not reported!

It's opposite day!

Imagine if Joe Biden started a war and then tried to explain it to the press, only to start rambling about his gold drapes and a ballroom. Fox News heads would explode.

Noem under oath today:
✅ Yes, DACA holders pass criminal background checks
✅ Yes, she deported dozens of them anyway
❌ No explanation why

"I don't know the details."

She's the Secretary of Homeland Security. It's literally her department

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
