Rand Paul: "I think we've gotten overextended. This is our second war in a month, and these wars are very very expensive not only in the lives that are lost, but also in treasure. I'm very very concerned about the debt. Half a trillion dollars for the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."
And today, his (lying) press secretary said the president is allowed to share his "opinion." 🙄
He's a daily disgrace to the human race.
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
It was hard to watch that game last night with the commentators fawning over his every move.
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
NEW: Trump ally and Justice Dept official Ed Martin is under ethics review
Just filed ====>
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
Speaker Johnson appears to have just asked been about the "Muslims don't belong in American society" remark by Rep. Ogles.
He didn't condemn it per se, saying he's had convos w/members about "tone" and that it wouldn't be the "language" he would use," before pivoting to a discussion of Shariah law.
The next generation which happens to be the son of the previous ayatollah, and whose entire family was just murdered by the US and Israel. Way to go, Mike. That should make diplomacy work really well in the future.
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
Why are all these news outlets ignoring the fact that Jake Lang was at the helm of the protests?
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
Shit. You called it.
Unbelievable.
If only the Republicans in Congress could find their spines and a little courage.
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
💙 💛 this type of Nuggets basketball.
He'll say anything since the convicted felon made that FBI investigation go away.
DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: “ICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...
The @postandcourier.bsky.social scooped everyone on this story. They corroborate numerous details from multiple FBI interviews. www.postandcourier.com/news/epstein...
"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records."
Make America White Again. That's what it's always been about.
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
This is an extraordinary reporting job by 2 Charleston journalists, meticulously fact-checking the Epstein victim who has accused Trump of abusive behavior.
Bottom line: Many details of what she told the FBI check out, though none relate directly to Trump.

WTH is he looking at... his FUPA?
🤣
that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world
He didn't even have to take his baseball cap off. 🙄
But he's not in the Senate. It must be Republicans plural. Not trying to be weird, just trying to understand the press release.
