Rogin: This is the most unpopular war in American history, and for good reason. And the longer it goes on, the worse those numbers are going to look. There is no instance in history of prolonged war benefiting any nation. Jennings: How do you know it’s going to be prolonged? Rogin: That’t the story of pretty much every war ever Jennings: We haven’t had a war since WW2 Rogin: I think the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan generations would take issue with that
I’m not a fan of canceling people, but I do believe we shouldn’t take advice from those who literally sold out their country to Fat Leonard. 🤷♀️ nytimes.com/2026/03/19/opi…

Hegseth: May almighty god continue to bless our troops in this fight. To the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ. To the troops, keep going and godspeed.
I’m honored to have received a 100% rating from the Family Research Council. Their mission to champion faith, family, and freedom, and to advance a culture where life is valued and religious liberty thrives, is at the core of what I’m fighting for in Congress. I’ll continue working every day to defend those principles and deliver for the people I serve.
Raju: If there are U.S. ground troops in Iran, should the administration go to Congress for approval? Speaker Mike Johnson: “If we're completing the mission, and it's a limited scope, then that's not a declaration of war.”

Stars and Stripes was not approved by the Pentagon to attend this press conference. I will be be watching it on a screen instead. Seems a bit odd since the Pentagon published a memo with changes to the newspaper, including content overhaul.

JUST IN: Bloomberg is reporting that Donald Trump Jr. invested in Vulcan Elements at a $200M valuation in August. In November, the Pentagon announced that it was awarding a $620M loan to Vulcan. Vulcan is now reportedly valued at $2 billion. 900% gain in just months if true.
CUOMO: 'Good guy' is not good enough when it comes to running a govt agency. Would you say the same thing if he was going to run the Fed? RON JOHNSON: He's succeeded at everything in life. He owns a ranch. Elections matter.
I'll be cheering on our local schools as March Madness kicks off today. The Tigers might be a #10 seed, but as a hometown kid with 3 siblings that went to Mizzou, I'll always bet on Missouri. MIZ and go Bills! #TeamWellman #Missouri #Congress #MO2 #StLouis
Oh my god. On the radio, NRSC-endorsed Michele Tafoya says that gas prices are spiking because of the Iran war that she supports and that people should “take one less trip to Starbuck’s” and to “just try to be patriots” about it. #mnsen
Bessent: "When President Trump says our allies should join us in a coalition along the Strait of Hormuz, they're the ones who need this oil. The US, we're an oil exporter."
