@defense_civil25 They didn’t bail you out of the war you started, unprovoked?! Unthinkable.

Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of Them!!

@WhiteHouse 😏

Let's be clear — an order to give "no quarter" means to take no prisoners and execute soldiers who try to surrender.   It is a violation of the law of war and the Geneva Conventions.    As a former Army JAG who trained soldiers on the law of war, it is clear that @SecWar must go.

@atrupar Russia adjacent Ron Johnson has some thoughts on domestic issues too.

Ron Johnson on the SAVE America Act: "We'll probably even throw in some non-election related items, like biological males shouldn't be competing against our little girls, and we shouldn't be mutilating little children on the altar of transgenderism"

@thedailybeast @MalcolmNance Well yeah.

EXCLUSIVE | Trump’s former top Border Patrol officer, Gregory Bovino, chose to quit rather than face multiple investigations into his conduct, according to a DHS insider. trib.al/2swG8C3

@SenMcConnell @jaketapper Are you really wading into this quagmire of your own making Mitch?

Joe Kent testified before the Senate one year ago that Iran and its terror proxies threatened U.S. servicemembers in the Middle East. He said it would be an honor to return to the fight against terrorism, and he pledged to lead with integrity and accountability. The virulent anti-Semitism of his resignation letter makes it clear that Mr. Kent is incapable of upholding these pledges, and those who mistake its baseless and incendiary conspiracies for brave truth-telling are only fooling themselves. Isolationists and anti-Semites have no place in either party, and certainly do not deserve places of trust in our government.

“John McCain, for some reason, couldn’t get his arm up…” - Years after the passing of Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Donald Trump continues to mock the injuries the former POW sustained while being tortured in Vietnam. (2024)

@ClaudetteGGibs1 Receipts Ms. Foxx? I thought not.

I thought this heifer was in a dementia unit.

@jefftimmer @NormOrnstein They just say anything they want. Because they like to hear themselves speak?

Math is hard

@SethAbramson Enabled by the Legislative Branch.

Jesus Christ this is becoming like the saddest Spanish telenovela ever He is making us seem so utterly pathetic on the world stage

@KerryBurgess Does a relatively sentient Congress realize how this sounds? That is what the history books will wonder.

What an evil piece of shit. Do Americans realise how this sounds to the rest of the world?

@ellamaulding He’s a wild card that Shapiro.

Ben Shapiro says Joe Kent’s resignation letter is “conspiratorial idiocy.” Joe Kent is an 11-time combat veteran who lost his wife and many friends in Middle East wars. Shapiro, a former never-Trumper, claims that anyone critical of Trump’s war with Iran is a “coward.”

@SenatorCollins I’d be concerned by the points you make, but don’t believe a single word you say.

The Democrats’ decision to shut down the Department of Homeland Security has caused chaos at our airports, delayed assistance to communities affected by disasters, and forced thousands of frontline employees to work without any guarantee of when they will be paid. The United States is less safe because the Democrats chose to walk away from the bipartisan DHS funding bill and have blocked repeated Republican efforts to pass a short-term funding patch to prevent disruptions while negotiations continue. The White House made a good-faith offer last month that builds on the reforms included in the bipartisan funding bill negotiated earlier this year, with new safeguards to protect both the American public and law enforcement and increased oversight. Democrats waited 18 days to respond. In that time, we saw violent attacks at Old Dominion University and the Temple Israel Synagogue in Michigan and a massive cyber attack on the Stryker Corporation. It is time for Democrats to get serious and work with us in earnest to govern responsibly.

@StateDept Don’t forget our efforts to starve the people of Cuba out.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Cuba’s economy doesn’t work. It has survived on subsidies from the Soviet Union and now from Venezuela. They don’t get subsidies anymore so they’re in a lot of trouble.

@LindseyGrahamSC You failed to mention that the UAE has given Trump and his family billions of dollars. Trump approved selling them 500,000 advanced AI chips--previously forbidden because of their relationship with China, their biggest trading partner.

@HustleBitch_ No fool like an old fool.

🚨 IT'S OVER. DID YOU NOTICE IT? That split-second look she gave him? That sneer of disgust is called CONTEMPT — the #1 predictor of divorce. Once it shows up, there’s no coming back. Psychologists call it the most toxic of the “Four Horsemen.” It’s not IF for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez… It’s WHEN.

🇫🇷 A French general just said joining Trump’s coalition is like buying a ticket to dinner and dancing on the Titanic – the evening after it hit the iceberg. That’s not a metaphor. That’s a military assessment. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@GerardAraud You got him into this mess Lindsey.

If you wanted us for the landing, you should have thought of us for the take off. You broke it, you own it.
