Reporter: Why didn't you notify Japan that you were going to attack Iran? Trump next to the Japanese PM: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour? You believe in surprise I think much more so than us."

I know this has been said ad nauseam But man. What are we doing. This is between 12/17/25 and 2/26/26

Rand Paul: "The fact he can't bring himself to say that we shouldn't settle political questions with violence, I think that would be a terrible example for ICE and Border Patrol"

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is the very very low level of job creation. If you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Conservatives aren’t necessarily wrong abt James Talarico. His faith doesn’t challenge any element of the secular progressive social agenda. That’s wrong and seems like a political gimmick. The problem is they’ve lost credibility by failing to apply a biblical standard to Trump.

I have one question for the Republican Party today. Where is your backbone? Thune. McConnell. All of them. Where are you? Mitch McConnell is 84 years old. He has nothing left to lose. No more elections to win. No more favors to collect. No more political future to protect. And he can’t stand up and say this is not what the United States of America stands for? George Washington is literally on the wall behind you people. The man who voluntarily gave up power when he could have kept it forever. The man who warned us — in his farewell address — about exactly this kind of person. And you can’t find the words? We have removal procedures in this country for a reason. The founders didn’t put them there for decoration. They put them there because they had read enough history to know that men like this would eventually come. They built the exit door. All you have to do is use it. But instead Thune shuffles his papers. McConnell stares at the floor. And the rest of them calculate their primary margins and call it leadership. This isn’t complicated. This is a spine test. And the Republican Party is failing it in real time.

"So, today, Markwayne Mullin, I’ll give you a chance. Tell it to my face. Tell the world why you believe I deserved to be assaulted from behind, have six ribs broken, and a damaged lung. Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it."

TRUMP on Joe Kent resigning: "Well I read his statement. I always thought he was a nice guy. But I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security. I didn't know him well but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy. But when I read his statement I realized that it's a good thing that he's out, because he said Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat, every country realized what a threat Iran was."
