They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
Fetterman doesn’t even give a shit about the kids in Iran. Let that in for a second.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
If his brain were mush it would be an improvement
How I imagine the war updates are going at the White House
"The first 2 days of this war cost $5.6 billion. I seem to remember a president coming into office on the pretext he would focus on America First. And yet he's cut healthcare, cut food assistance, sent the cost of everything higher, but we have plenty of money for war."
“'The administration thoughtlessly terminated people with crisis experience, and now they’re left without depth in the bench in the middle of a wide scale and broadening crisis,' said a former official with more than a decade experience in evacuation operations..."

Trump was asked whether oil tankers are now safe to use the strait of Hormuz.
Trump: I think they should. I think they should. I think they should use the Strait. Look, we took out just about all of their mine ships…
A few hours later…
2 oil tankers set on fire in the strait.
Q: "The president said yesterday that President Putin told him he wanted to be helpful in the Middle East…How does the president think Russia could be helpful?"
Leavitt: "I'll leave it to the president to divulge any more of that conversation."

It gets better. Here's Vance and Rubio in the Oval Office...
it is, as I've often said over the years, a court rather than an administration - these men are courtiers whose power is largely dependent on their ability to flatter when in the presence.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
DOOCY: You said it's an 'excursion,' and you said it's a 'war.' So which is it?
TRUMP: Well, it's both. It's an excursion that will keep us out of war. For them it's war. For us it's turned out to be easier than we thought.
Peace is war and war is peace
Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
See the problem here?
He’s going to declare victory and leave.
This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.
Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.
Connect the dots
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
“The president has a right to knowingly lie about murdering children” - Karolie, basically
(From @acyn.bsky.social )
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)
This is silly and false. The only operators of Tomahawk missiles are the U.S. Navy, Royal Australian Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Navy. Iran has no Tomahawk missiles. If it did, it’d have no way to launch them.
The US has, in slightly over a year, torched what was once one of the best repositories of legal talent (the DOJ) in favor of...uh...total hacks now struggling under an impossible workload made all the more impossible by an administration that is acting without even the faintest color of law.
Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
Isn't this why we have presidential elections? So, someone so clearly ignorant and unqualified could never be President.
WTF America?!! Was Kamala's laugh really THAT awful?
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
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"
Commentary: In terms of strategy, the air campaign, now in its second week, is very much a discombobulated mess: U.S. goals are constantly shifting, metrics for victory are nebulous, and the emergence of a coherent endgame is nonexistent.
Surely the President’s task force on antisemitism will be looking into this pronto to figure out how this could have happened.
