Our problems stem from the fact that Trump does not understand how the world works. America started a war with Iran, but was surprised that it retaliated in ways that hurt our economy and international relationships. That outcome was predictable, but not by Trump. Now, after bombing Iran and killing their leadership, Trump demands Iran open the Strait of Hormuz while threatening... bombing Iran. Obviously, those threats do nothing at this point. It got this bad because Trump tore up a nuclear treaty that Iran was complying with because he felt he could force an even stricter agreement. Instead, it caused Iran to increase their enrichment program. Trump stopped supporting Ukraine, opting to side with Russia instead. Now, we need Ukraine's expertise to fight Iran's drones, and Russia is feeding Iran intel. So how does Trump respond? He reduces sanctions on Russian oil to deal with the oil crisis he caused. Tariffs were enacted because Trump doesn't understand trade deficits, and he thought he could bully the world. Instead, China retaliated by stopping its purchases of American soybeans, bankrupting US farmers. And, at the end of the day, Americans are the ones paying for the tariffs, not other countries. Since those tariffs were enacted, America has stopped creating jobs, manufacturing has declined, and our economy has slowed to a crawl. They didn't quite "Make America Great Again." And while we're busy dealing with the messes Trump made, and focused on industries of the past, China is forging ahead, taking a dominant role in industries of tomorrow. America's status as the world's economic leader is at serious risk. We can't allow a fool who thinks he's an infallible dictator to run our country into the ground. He has to be reined in, and since Republicans refuse to do it, they must be voted out of power.

@WendellJones16 Three weeks tomorrow. The Pentagon is now requesting $200 billion. The highest cost of the Iraq War was $150 billion for an entire year. This isn't ending anytime soon.

@JaredRyanSears Two and a half weeks ... longest war in history.

The war against Iran has been raging for three weeks. Trump had no idea what he was getting us into, and he can't find a way back out. Not only is there no end in sight, but the Pentagon is now asking for $200 billion to wage this war, and there is increasing talk of boots on the ground. Gas is quickly approaching $4 a gallon average nationwide, causing the administration to not only end sanctions against Russian oil, as Russia feeds Iran intel, but it is now considering ending the sanctions against Iranian oil, even as we bomb their energy facilities. 13 US service members have died, and 200 more have been wounded. This is a disaster that never needed to happen. There was no imminent threat, and Iran was willing to make a deal on their nuclear program.

@Dlazi @SenFettermanPA It is a close race for the bottom between the two of them.

@JaredRyanSears @SenFettermanPA Tuberville is the dumbest member of Congress, Mullin is second dumbest

In January, I called on the president to fire Noem—and he did. I truly approached the confirmation of my colleague and friend, Senator Mullin, with an open-mind. We need a leader at DHS. We must reopen DHS. My AYE is rooted in a strong committed, constructive working relationship with Senator Mullin for our nation’s security.

@atrupar @ItWasACoup Except US intelligence says Iran was not working on a nuclear weapon. So why would Trump get a thank you for starting a war that cost America lives, that will cost our country hundreds of billions, and sent gas prices skyrocketing?

Hegseth: "Our ungrateful allies in Europe, even segments of our own press, should be saying one thing to President Trump -- 'Thank you. Thank you for the courage to stop this terror stage from holding the world hostage while building or attempting to build a nuclear bomb.'"

@krisinhawaii At that price tag, there should be a lot of resistance, but we will see what happens.

@JaredRyanSears But something tells me even Democrats are going to vote for it. ‘We don’t want the war but now that we are in it we have to support the troops and see the mission to its completion.”

The defense budget was increased by $150 billion this year, bringing it to a total of $1 trillion. Now, the Pentagon is asking for an additional $200 billion for the Iran war And Trump is requesting a $500 billion increase in defense spending for next year. We could address every major problem facing America with that additional spending. Instead, we continue to spend more and more to fight wars we do not need to fight.

@Jim_Jordan Most Americans think voter suppression is despicable. The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill, not a photo ID bill.

Democrats think voter ID is “despicable." What's wrong with making sure only citizens vote in American elections?

@RichardLWehmey1 I'm not sure many of them see it as a dilemma.

@JaredRyanSears It’s the GOP dilemma: Serving your constituents vs serving the donors who insure your reelection.

Instead of spending all of their time trying to pass a voter suppression bill disguised as election integrity, Republicans should focus on actually earning votes. Gas is 70 cents higher than when Trump took office. We've gone from creating millions of jobs to having millions of layoffs. Unemployment is higher. The deficit is growing. Blue-collar jobs are disappearing. 13 service members have died, and 200 more have been wounded in a war that never needed to happen. And Republicans are doing nothing to address it.

@VMaceyka @StevenCheung47 @PressSec No polls have Trump with a positive approval rating across all Americans.

@JaredRyanSears @StevenCheung47 @PressSec Did you read that statistic correctly?It was a sixty eight to thirty one percent the sixty eight approve...

100%

@Acyn Wait. You're telling me that the broad global tariffs, which accomplished nothing other than raising the price of goods for Americans, were a terrible idea? Shocking...

Powell: Goods inflation—for many years it was negative, the year before tariffs came in, it was 0 and it's running at like 2% now

@Acyn Trump wants the Fed to lower rates, but then keeps doing things that worsen the conditions for rate cuts. It is like Trump doesn't know what he's doing...

Powell: We haven't seen the progress that we had hoped for on core goods and on tariffs and on the rest of it.

@Pgmcc1 Simple facts, actually.

@JaredRyanSears LOL. That's some wild spin even for you!

Waiving the Jones Act. Releasing 40% of US oil reserves. Allowing Russia to sell sanctioned oil and fund its war crimes. Trump really messed up the oil markets with this unnecessary war and is now desperately trying to address it, when the only way is to end this war. Gas is 70 cents more expensive than when Trump took office and is still rising.

President Trump waives Jones Act for 60 days in bid to free up the flow of oil to US ports foxbusiness.com/politics/trump…

@atrupar @ItWasACoup Such a pathetic response to say Joe Biden was sworn into office instead of stating the simple fact that he won the election. Trump lost in 2020. Accept it already.

SLOTKIN: Who won the 2020 election? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We know that President Joe Biden was sworn into office SLOTKIN: Do you feel you have the authority to put uniformed officers at polling locations in 2026? MULLIN: Only if there is a specific threat, not for intimidation

@mattcolliu1 By all means, enlighten me.

@JaredRyanSears You are so misguided that I ALMOST feel sorry for you...

The US "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program eight months ago, and US intelligence repeatedly said there was no evidence that Iran was working on a nuclear weapon, but Republicans keep saying we had to go to war with Iran to stop it from getting a nuke. It is Iraq WMDs all over again.

WARNER: You omitted a paragraph about Midnight Hammer 'obliterating' Iran's nuclear capability that's in your written report from your oral opening GABBARD: I recognized the time was running long WARNER: So you chose to omit the parts that contradicts the president

@Pgmcc1 No. You can't use polls on voter photo ID to talk about a bill that is not about voter photo ID.

@JaredRyanSears 85% of us want the SAVE ACT passed
