@BulwarkOnline @AccountableGOP 2025 GDP growth was 2.1%, a decrease from 2024’s 2.8% growth rate. Not “booming.”

Trump: "The economy is booming. Our economy is booming. You don't read about it, you don't see it so much because of what's going on in Iran, which is really, you know, it's been two months. I mean, two months, you've been in other wars for 18 years…I'm in there for a month."

@BulwarkOnline @AccountableGOP Q4 GDP growth was an anemic 0.5%. There is nothing booming about that. Let’s see what Q1 looks like when the initial report comes out next month.

@BulwarkOnline @AccountableGOP When was it the greatest economy in the world?

Leavitt: "As soon as the operation and now the negotiations with Iran conclude, and the strait is reopened, we do expect gas prices to decrease…President Trump has built the greatest economy in the world before. He is doing it again."

@paul_zoell68952 @amyklobuchar @peter_carruth If it’s over, why the request for another $200 billion?

@amyklobuchar @peter_carruth Should we tell Amy the war is over or just let her keep on making an ass out of herself?

The administration says we can’t invest in child care or health care — but wants $200 billion for a unilateral war in Iran. That same money could lower costs and expand care for Americans across the country.

@Stats_Maniac @BulwarkOnline The Pope is not saying that. The President needs to stop putting words in other peoples’ mouths.

@BulwarkOnline You know that it is an implied statement by the Pope when he condemns the action against Iran as unjust war. The Pope is basically saying "Until Iran (the #1 state sponsor of terrorism in the world and a theocracy that promotes death to infidels) launches a nuke, leave 'em be!"

Reporter: "Why are you fighting with the pope?" Trump: "I have to do what's right…I have nothing against the pope, his brother is MAGA all the way. I like his brother…The pope made a statement, he says Iran can have a nuclear weapon." Reporter: "He didn't say that."

@MackDiamond8 @kaitlancollins You’re either not listening or only listening to the lies and disinformation that the president press spews daily.

the pope does nothing to denounce the Iranian regime and their pursuit of nuclear weapons, nor does he speak out against them slaughtering their own civilians. Yet Trump takes action against these thugs and the pope speaks out against Trump. That’s what’s this is about and you know it.

I asked President Trump why he's fighting with the Pope. Trump: "I have to do what's right. The Pope has to understand that. Very simple, I have nothing against the Pope. His brother is MAGA all the way..." So why are you fighting with him? Trump: "I'm not fighting with him. The Pope made a statement. He says Iran can have a nuclear weapon." He didn't say that.

@BulwarkOnline @AccountableGOP Pete obviously does not understand the role of the press, the Fourth Estate.

Hegseth: "To the American media, I just can't help but notice the endless stream of garbage, the relentlessly negative coverage you cannot resist peddling…Sometimes it's hard to figure out what side some of you are actually on. It's incredibly unpatriotic."

@BarbaraG127 @FoxNews Please give examples of teachers or schools teaching students to hate their country. Too many on the right mistake Christian Nationalism for Patriotism.

@FoxNews Why doesn’t she realize they’re being taught to hate this country in school!@Linda_McMahon

Education Secretary Linda McMahon lamented the lack of patriotism among some teachers and administrators in American schools. "How can we really drive home patriotism and love of country and respect for our flag if we actually have teachers and principals who are not encouraging the very basics of what is patriotic in our country?"

@nicksortor @StephenM Bad news for all Americans.

🚨 BAD NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS: Stephen Miller was spotted traveling with President Trump to Las Vegas, entering the forward door of Air Force One, DIRECTLY into the President's office They tried to have him fired, but FAILED. God bless @StephenM America NEEDS him 🇺🇸

@Acyn King George? The reporter doesn’t even know who the fuck he’s asking about.

Reporter: Do you think it’s appropriate for King George to meet with members? Boebert: I wouldn’t meet with him. Reporter: Why not? Boebert: 1776. I have nothing to do with King George or the royal family. I am an American first.

@didvd @highbrow_nobrow Now if he had said ANTI Christ…. ;)

@StephenE2011 @highbrow_nobrow Ditto

Trump is "almost the second coming" of Jesus Christ. - Congressman Troy Nehls (R-TX)

@WhiteHouse And where is the $15 million in federal funding coming from?

“I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

@WhiteHouse What are we triumphing? So a president can appoint a commission of yes-people who are free to ignore the overwhelming negative feedback given to them to plow ahead with this abomination? No checks. No balances. The President can do whatever he wants. What happened to the USA?

@billgensler @TheArenaCNN @Alyssafarah @ScottWalker @jamiegangel @LuluGNavarro @sabrinasingh24 I have not heard the Pope say one thing in favor of Iran developing nuclear weapons. Trump keeps putting words in the mouths of others. It is quite possible for a neutral observer to say both sides are in the wrong. It is not binary. It’s certainly not black and white.

@TheArenaCNN @Alyssafarah @ScottWalker @jamiegangel @LuluGNavarro @sabrinasingh24 So the Pope prefers Iran have a nuclear weapon than for Trump to act. You ok with that? Because it’s a binary choice. You liberals can’t seem to get your head around that. The Pope is WRONG and Trump has a responsibility to say so. Only a child thinks otherwise.

"There are like three people on the planet politicians shouldn't start fights with: the Pope, Dolly Parton, and probably the Dalai Lama. Beloved, renowned figures that are above reproach," @Alyssafarah says. W/ @ScottWalker @jamiegangel @LuluGNavarro @sabrinasingh24

@LincolnShepher @atrupar The President is the one making this political.

🔥 100% RIGHT. Mike Johnson isn’t attacking faith—he’s defending common sense. If Pope Francis steps into political debates, he doesn’t get a free pass from criticism. You can’t lecture the world on war, morality, and policy, then act shocked when people push back. That’s not how it works. And let’s be real—the concept of “just war” has existed for centuries. Ignoring that while making blanket statements? That’s not leadership, that’s messaging. Respect goes both ways. 🇺🇸

Mike Johnson says the Pope had it coming: "A religious leader can say anything they want, but obviously if you wade into political waters, you should expect some political response and I think the Pope has received some of that. Frankly I was taken a bit aback by him saying something about 'those who engage in war, Jesus doesn't hear their prayers' or something. There's something called the 'just war' doctrine.'"

@atrupar And the military action taken by the United States does not meet the criteria of the Just War Doctrine.

@SpeakerJohnson Meanwhile, the federal government continues to wallow in red ink. $38.9 TRILLION. That’s $19 trilllion more than when Trump first became president in 2017. $10 trillion of that during Trump’s two terms (to date). That’s 53% of the gain since 2017 and 27% of the entire U.S. debt.

The difference between the successes of today and failures of the past is real. Thanks to Republican support of the Working Families Tax Cuts, more of your hard-earned money stays where it belongs — in your pocket.

@BulwarkOnline @AccountableGOP $30 a gallon starts with a 3 too!

Doocy: "It doesn't sound like we're going to have $3 a gallon gas by summertime, which we had initially been told by the energy secretary…When are we really going to get $3 a gallon gas?" Bessent: "I'm optimistic that during the summer we will see gas with a 3 in front of it sooner rather than later."

@its_The_Dr Projection again! It was Donald Trump in 2020 that refused to support a peaceful transfer of power and the usual transition from one administration to the next up to the point of laying the foundation for the Jan 6 protesters, seeking 11,780 votes in Georgia, etc.

Karoline Leavitt: “While pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power, Barack Hussein Obama, in private, went to great and nefarious lengths to sow discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump. The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence confirms that the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence, which was later used as justification for baseless smears against President Trump — an effort to delegitimize his victory before he even took the oath of office. The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia, and the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetrated on the American people from the very beginning. The worst part is that Obama knew the truth, as did all the other officials involved, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and many others.”
