BREAKING:
🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 The Republicans are considering health care spending cuts to fund a $200 billions budget bill to pay for the Iran war and finance Israel — Axios
@TheInsiderPaper Best option at this point would be to withdraw but it seems as if it’s become personal given it didn’t go the way as planned. For Iran this is life and death, for the US it’s just another military adventure. They’ll fight until the last Iranian..
BREAKING 🚨 President Trump says that if a deal is not reached soon and the Strait of Hormuz is not immediately reopened for business, the United States will blow up and completely obliterate Iran’s electric generating plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island — and possibly its desalination plants as well — which he says the U.S. has purposefully not yet “touched.”
Save act, no income taxes, no incomes taxes on tips and overtime, lower costs, tariff refunds, health care reforms, no more foreign interventions...lots of promises nothing delivered. Even the no taxes on tips and overtime ended up being done half ass deduction. The only thing he’s delivered on is a secure border.
We grow tired of Mike Lee pontificating about filibusters and recess yet he fails to use a powerful rule in the Senate.
While Senate rules presume a quorum is present, any senator on the floor can "suggest the absence of a quorum." If a senator from the President's party were to do this during a pro forma session, it would immediately halt all proceedings.
Senator Lee can force everyone back to DC to do the people business at one of those pro forma sessions.
Until we have a Republican Senator willing to do this, every Republican Senator complaining about the Senate rules is a phony.
That especially includes Mile Lee!
NATO is a defensive alliance. President Trump wanted NATO assets probably for two reasons: 1) Didn’t want the US Navy to take the brunt 2) Optics. NATO support could show Iran was a real threat and get more buy in from public. It wasn’t a test. It was a desperation move following the initial miscalculation.
Trump confirms what I have been suggesting, that the request for help in the Strait of Hormuz was a “test for NATO”.
Then he says “remember this in a number of months from now”.
Trump is all but confirming he is going to back out of NATO.
Decision has been made.
@EricLDaugh What’s that going to do? He’s not going to cave to the pressure. Only solution would be removing him. Although I don’t see any Republican Senators taking any actions. They all just talk..both sides too. Nancy Pelosi was the only one who didn’t give a damn and took action.
🚨 BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune is facing MASSIVE pressure to immediately call back senators from recess so the DHS and ICE funding bill can be passed and sent to President Trump
SHOULDN’T HAVE LEFT TOWN!
Come back and work for the people! 🇺🇸
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just announced he will SURGE ICE AGENTS to perform security with TSA at our airports if Democrats refuse to fund DHS and pay federal employees
CHECK MATE, Chuck Schumer!
"If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota."
"I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
@MarioNawfal Get ready to see an Arab Spring 2.0 and the outcome isn’t going to be favorable to Israel or the U.S.
We have likely just jump started the end of the monarchies in the Gulf. This could go down as the biggest strategic blunder in U.S. history.
BREAKING: Iran just claimed they killed 160 American soldiers in a strike in Abu Dhabi
If true, tomorrow will be the beginning of a new chapter in this war
Disclaimer: I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt this claim is true

I appreciate Rubio’s honesty: Israel forced our hand.
Maybe we could stop Israel & limit Iran’s retaliation. Maybe not. I’ll leave that for later, but it should be seriously debated.
We’re in it now. So, how do we get out in a way that puts America, & only America, first?

@HealthRanger Except Trump has more than enough already to fire Bondi. Also, DOJ was mandated to release the files and is already past the deadline. Don’t see any evidence indicating Israel, through DOJ mind you, pulling strings here bc of Iran.
ANALYSIS: It seems very clear now that Trump has lost control of his administration, and the DOJ is answering to Netanyahu who ordered the release of this latest batch of Epstein files – with Trump’s name NOT redacted – in making good on a blackmail threat being delivered when Trump recently refused to order the all-out military attack on Iran. But there’s more: Israeli-linked financial terrorists also likely engineered today’s selloffs of gold, silver and stocks, delivering a message to Trump: “Either do what we say, or we will crash your economy and destroy your presidency.”
Trump’s own DOJ has clearly turned against him, which means Pam Bondi is functioning exactly as Israel needs: The enforcer of Netanyahu’s will against America’s interests, forcing Trump’s hand to sacrifice U.S. military assets (and probably U.S. soldiers) in Israel’s bloodlust attempt to destroy Iran. Trump himself essentially admitted all this in a Truth Social post from July 16, 2025: “They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called 'friends' are playing right into their hands.”
Bottom line? Trump has lost control. Netanyahu is running America, the DOJ, the FBI and the entire Trump administration. Every single element of the federal government is now aimed at Trump with an assortment of threats to unleash mass chaos (economic, civil, geopolitical, etc.) unless Trump does Netanyahu’s bidding. What we saw today was just the “lashing out” of Israeli intelligence, flexing their control over information and financial markets, to send Trump a final warning message: Either wage full-scale war with Iran, or we’ll destroy your president and the U.S. economy with it.
In a way, it’s even worse than exploding pagers. But it’s the same mindset.
If Trump attacks Iran full force, Israel will make sure financial markets surge again next week, restoring the illusion of “wealth” and protecting Trump’s presidency (which is of course strongly tied to perceptions of economic strength).
If Trump refuses to attack Iran, then they’ll remove him from power with another round of damning document dumps (real, fake or otherwise) and install the next person in line (Vance?) who’s willing to be more obedient.
America is an occupied nation. The people we elect aren’t in charge at all.
Contenders to replace DHS Security secretary Noem, per sources inside and outside the Trump admin:
--Former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz
--Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin
--EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin
--Border Czar Tom Homan
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has just wrapped up his TENTH Cabinet meeting with an epic exchange with JD VANCE
"I like this better than 3 hours! JD, would you like to say something? He is, after all, the VICE PRESIDENT!"
VANCE: "It's OK sir, I'm here for the free coffee!" 🤣
I would say DHS Secretary. Attorney General under President Trump is suicide considering it’s a position that is supposed to be A-Political..of course it’s been hyper politicized since Clinton. DHS Secretary gives him more flexibility to do more. Essentially, keep homeland safe, secure the border and remove illegals. Improve TSA screening and he’s a hero.
Hopefully gets tapped as DHS Secretary setting him up for a 2028 run. I could see a DeSantis-Rubio Ticket more so than a Vance-Rubio. Don’t think Vance has what it takes. In fact, he’s been pretty much overshadowed by Rubio. Even domestically, Miller seems to have more pull. Vance hasn’t established himself as lead on any particular issue. I would be wrong..
DeSantis golfing with Trump this weekend.
People are going to go nuts when the following happens:
- DeSantis leaves to go lead DHS, replace Noem
- Collins made Governor
- DeSantis endorses Collins in farewell speech
- DeSantis builds national brand🇺🇸
