President Trump likely doesn't know (and maybe doesn't care) that he just admitted in a TruthSocial post that he lied to the American ppl and world about why he chose to start this war w Iran on 28 February. We should not let this go. In this post, he boasts that *none* of the reprocessed nuclear material allegedly buried in the June 2025 attack, has been moved since Operation Midnight Hammer. It has been under "exacting Satellite Surveillance" he boasted, so its definitely still there. He even went so far as to say we'll help them "dig up and remove" said material. One big problem with that boast: He and his chosen "negotiator" Steve Witkoff sounded the alarm from every TV and Cable outlet in America that Iran was "about a week" away from a nuclear bomb, and therefore posed "an imminent threat." That was a known lie. We, therefore, didn't merely violate the U.S. Constitution by going to full-on war without Congressional declaration or authorization, didn't just violate American law, didn't even primarily violate international law: The President of the United States knowingly took America to war - sacrificing the lives of at least 13 Americans and the wounding of nearly 400 others - based on pure fraud and a desire to seize the oil from another country. To add insult to injury, he also got us into a war we couldn't win. At the moment we have a ceasefire, but an end-of-war negotiated settlement is far from done; this could turn back hot again at any moment. This is an affront to the American ppl and shows with what contempt the President has for the lives of our Service Members. That's the truth, folks, from the President's own postings, you have it black and white.

@charlie_savage That’s nice. I hope the courts humiliate him, and that he has trouble competing with dead pets for jobs.

New memo by Trump's 36-year-old OLC chief, Elliot Gaiser, says Congress's Constitutional power to make laws necessary & proper to regulate how the govt works is just a power to "assist" the president--so laws are valid if they increase Trump's power but not if they restrict it.

@WhiteHouse It’s almost like NATO is a defensive alliance. Will you invoke article V in your war of aggression?

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you…” - President Donald J. Trump

@tedcruz Oh Ted… once again I feel compelled to remind you that your children know you to be a liar and a hypocrite.

The Republican Party is the party of truck drivers, steel workers, cops, firefighters, waiters & waitresses — men and women with calluses on their hands. The Democrat Party is the party of rich coastal elites that sip soy lattes with their pinkies in the air.

@SpeakerJohnson You seem to be having trouble with one of the Commandments. Guess which one!

Democrats have now caused the LONGEST shutdown in history — REFUSING to fund Homeland Security and BLOCKING paychecks for TSA agents, FEMA, border patrol support staff, and other brave law enforcement. …All because they would rather reopen our border and protect criminal illegal aliens than keep Americans safe! The House has voted to fully fund @DHSgov **FOUR times**— but Chuck Schumer wants to pick and choose which law enforcement officers can get their paycheck. It's OUTRAGEOUS and unfair.  Their RECKLESS obsession with criminal illegal aliens hurts every American and puts our national security at risk. @HouseGOP will continue to stand for law and order.

@StateDept You shouldn’t use government accounts to verbally fellate the President.

QUESTION: President Trump, what do you want your legacy to be? PRESIDENT TRUMP: I settled eight wars. They were long term wars and lots of people were being killed every year, so I’ve saved millions and millions of people. I would love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker.

@jessecordweber What do you say to the notion that it is incumbent on the majority party to work to make common cause with the minority party in the interest of governance?

@tedcruz Your children are ashamed of you.

I prefer plumbers to woke & unfunny comedians.

@svdate Fear not! We have three years to top it.

This could be the single dumbest thing our country has ever done.

@OKnox I’ve met Miami Harold. That guy’s a real card!

Ten years ago today, Obama became the first sitting US president to visit Cuba since the 1959 revolution. This was next to me in the press filing center. It's my favorite filing center sign of all time.

@highbrow_nobrow Best way to get what you want from Trump… glaze the s**t out of him

“Tomorrow is the birthday of your son, Mr. Barron Trump, and I know he has grown up so much into a very tall, good looking gentleman. As I see you, Donald, it is very clear where he got it. There’s no doubt about it…” -Japan PM Sanae Takaichi to POTUS.

@MarkMantis Peace to you and your loved ones.

He’s gone.

@MatthewCappucci I live in the NY Metro area, and I have no envy for meteorologists here. Things are so changeable that I don't really rely on a forecast for further out than about 36 hours (though I do prepare responsibly :-)).

What a HORRIBLE forecast by meteorologists – especially myself. Not only were we spectacularly wrong – we communicated poorly. It became apparent last night that some of our initial expectations would prove fallacious. I'd like to address what went wrong with our forecast:

@danzu72 They should all have their d*cks fall off.

I worked for USAID when It was closed, these guys literally were firing senior Foreign Service Officers with 30 years of experience on the spot. These kids were drunk on power and a reckoning is coming. I will always be hot about this shit. I know for a fact we allowed children to die because of these snotty shits.

@oliviakrolczyk_ Way to commit to emotional abuse! Hope you can afford therapy for the kid.

“You wouldn’t want your own kid to be bullied” If my son puts on makeup I’ll be the first one to bully him. Boys don’t wear makeup. Boys don’t act like this. Stop gentle parenting.

What, precisely, is a “flattering” photo of Hegseth? The man looks like Beavis.* (*I think. Could be Butthead. I get them confused.)

@Matt_Pinner Grabnok the Destroyer.

Help me out: I need a highly specific, aggressively masculine name for a tiny Chihuahua puppy. Nothing cute. I'm desperate.

@JebraFaushay Almost got me to do a spit take. Well done.

I drove for an hour today and didn’t experience the euphoria of which he speaks. Should I let some air out of the tires? Or loosen something?

Love me some @RepRaskin
