The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

If Biden had hosted a WH event on the frivolous topic of college sports while bombing Iran, legacy media reporters would have ripped him a new one. Reporters clearly are more pro-Trump than the average American. I think it’s because it’s easier to cover Trump’s spectacles than policy reporting.

Trump campaign peace promises loom large over wartime presidency The "anti-war" candidate has bombed seven countries and launched a new regime-change war in Iran.

πŸ’₯ No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.

He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

NEW -- Last night Donald Trump announced a $1,000 match for lower-income workers' retirement accounts.

He forgot to mention that it was created under a proposal signed into law by Joe Biden. It is already going into effect in January.

As the lead sponsor of a new bill, Del. Jeffrie E. Long Jr. (D) is hoping it will provide some answers. https://wapo.st/4s0DBTE

Why does women's pain last longer than men's? A new study offers an answer The research suggests that men’s immune systems have a better mechanism for shutting off pain, which could explain why women have more chronic symptoms.

Studies have repeatedly found that women are more likely to experience chronic pain in general and that their pain lasts longer, on average.
