YOUR PRESIDENT STARTED A WAR WITH IRAN, TED. The terrorist threat is higher because Trump bombed a country and created a regional crisis. But sure, blame the guy who's been out of office for over a year. This man fled to Cancun during a blizzard. He's not serious.

Bondi was supposed to release the Epstein files. Instead she's burying them while settlements quietly get paid. The cover-up is the point. They don't want transparency—they want this to disappear.

Another hush money payment.

"Mission Accomplished" 2.0. Ships on fire, oil facilities exploding, the Strait of Hormuz shut down, and gas headed to $5+. But sure, we "won." The only thing Trump accomplished was turning a contained threat into a regional catastrophe.

I was told we already won this war.

7 soldiers dead and she's on TV doing PR for the war that killed them. Iran wasn't threatening the homeland. There was no imminent attack. Trump started this and Ernst is auditioning for VP by standing on their coffins. Iowa deserves better.

The Solzhenitsyn comparison is perfect. Except now the applause is on cable news and the gulag is getting deported to a Salvadoran prison without a trial. The clown shoes fit. The question is whether anyone in this cabinet has the spine to take them off.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Oil just hit $100/barrel. Gas is about to be $5+ nationwide. Trump promised $1.50 gas. He delivered a war that shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Every time you fill your tank, remember: you're paying for his ego trip to Tehran.

Republicans are cutting $880 billion from Medicaid while writing blank checks for a war nobody asked for. Grandma can't afford insulin but we've got unlimited funds for cruise missiles. Tell me again which party is "fiscally responsible."

DOGE gutted the agencies we need during a war. Can't monitor terror threats. Can't protect against cyberattacks. Can't even help Americans stranded abroad.

Musk broke the government for clout and now we're fighting a war with the pieces. This isn't efficiency—it's sabotage.

Day 12. Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz. 20% of the world's oil—gone. Six ships on fire. 1,200+ dead in Iran alone.

Trump's response? "More of the same."

He has no exit strategy. He has no plan. He just has bombs and a TV schedule.

Every single move benefits Russia. Every. Single. One. At some point we have to stop calling it incompetence and start calling it what it is: the foreign policy of a compromised president.

Trump does whatever he can to help Putin:
1. Refuses to deliver any arms for sale to Ukraine.
2. Hikes the global oil and gas prices to Russia's benefit through his madcap war against Iran.
3. Eases oil sanctions against Russia to help financing its war against Ukraine.

He promised $1.50 gas. Now it's headed past $5 because he started a war nobody asked for. And his response? Call YOU a fool for noticing. This is what a dictator sounds like when the con falls apart in real time.

Donald Trump in a Truth Social post on March 8, 2026: "Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT"

Taking a victory lap on "LOWEST EVER" gas prices, then calling Americans "FOOLS" for worrying about his war with Iran raising prices?

Donald Trump is a con man with no plan and failing the American people.

Trump killed Iran's supreme leader and now says HE gets to pick the replacement. That's not foreign policy. That's colonialism with cruise missiles. Iran is a country of 90 million people—not a board seat at Mar-a-Lago.

Day 9 of Trump's war on Iran:

- 7 American service members dead
- Oil at $100/barrel
- Iran names a NEW supreme leader
- Tehran still standing
- Global markets in freefall

Trump: "The war is very complete."

This man is getting Americans killed for an oil deal and a photo op.

"Very complete." 7 dead service members. Oil at $100/barrel. Iran naming a NEW supreme leader. But sure, mission accomplished. Bush at least waited a few weeks before declaring victory. Trump couldn't even wait 9 days.

4x the arrests but they "scaled back." The NYT laundering fascism as moderation again. They didn't scale back—they just stopped doing it on camera after they shot people in the street.

"After months of high-profile, militarized immigration raids in major American cities, the Trump administration has scaled back its deportation strategy, leading to a dip in arrests last month, according to three federal officials and internal government data.

In recent weeks, immigration agents have focused on conducting more targeted enforcement operations, rather than indiscriminate street sweeps, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal strategy.

Those arrests have been less visible and chaotic than the campaign that led to violent clashes with protesters — including the fatal shootings of two American citizens in January — and generated intense political blowback against President Trump.

The retreat from some of its most aggressive enforcement efforts underscores the challenges the administration faces in meeting its goal of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants."

Record ICE kidnapping and disappearing continue

Record ICE kidnapping and disappearing continue

The Trump regime's daily ICE snatchings are four times higher than they were a year ago. But the @nytimes.com says the regime has "scaled back its deportation strategy". This is like the "pause" in global warming, anyone remember that?

9-0. That's not a trend, that's a mandate. Voters are showing up EVERYWHERE to reject MAGA—even in deep red districts. Republicans should be terrified of 2026.

Trump is running a war from Mar-a-Lago while hosting parties with crudités and champagne. Iranians are dying. American weapons stockpiles are draining. And the commander in chief is entertaining donors poolside. This man treats war like a networking event.

State Dept declared an "emergency" to bypass Congress and sell 20,000+ bombs to Israel for $660 million. The emergency? A war Trump started without congressional authorization. They're laundering an illegal war through emergency powers. This is what autocracy looks like.

Democrats have flipped 9 state legislative seats in special elections since Trump took office. Republicans have flipped ZERO. The resistance isn't just tweets — it's showing up at the ballot box. Every single time. This is how we take it all back in November.

24-19. Bipartisan. The Epstein files are so damning that even Republicans couldn't stomach the cover-up. Bondi can either testify or prove to America she's protecting predators. There is no third option.
