@TulsiGabbard While we relate to your post on @fauci we haven’t heard you speak on debacle in middle east further escalating? Real global and economic risk @MearsheimerJ @Judgenap @DanielLDavis1 @joekent16jan19 and others are trying hard to deescalate but you have a voice and stay silent? 🤷‍♂️

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

The House just passed an additional $60 billion for the war in Iran.

This money could fund free public college and free childcare for every American while expanding health care coverage for seniors.

It’s time to end the war and focus on investment here at home.

@joekent16jan19 Thank you for your efforts Joe and speaking for most of us. Especially Veterans who lost freinds in or from the Iraq debacle.

[SoCalVeteran @OCVeteran1]

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇪🇸Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to Donald Trump:

"Twenty-three years ago, the U.S. dragged us into Iraq over claims of weapons of mass destruction. None were found. You cannot fool us twice."

@OCFireAuthority Thank you guys!!

@DNIGabbard Many of us Veterans had high hopes for you suporting you for years. We hoped you’d follow your true north but where have you been since February? Last 4 months are counter to everything you stood for? Ukranian Biolabs/Fauci dont compare to another failed regime change war?

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Massie hints at a 2028 PRESIDENTIAL run.

Crowd chanting "2028, 2028, 2028."

Massie:

"You've made a compelling argument...

I need a medical margarita first and then we'll talk."

The establishment thought they ended his career.

The bigger fight just officially began.

[Dave Hale - Concerned Republican @CountryFirstRep]

Sean Hannity announced he is officially leaving the Catholic Church, over the dispute between the Pope and Trump.

Hannity has chosen his master, and it clearly isn't God.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

@DanielLDavis1 As a fellow Veteran thank you @RepNancyMace for your post.

[Daniel Davis Deep Dive @DanielLDavis1]

This statement strongly implies that members of Congress were informed by the administration today that ground operations are all but declared on Iranian territory.

Let me categorically state: there is nothing of strategic significance such a tiny force of a few thousand marines and airborne troops could accomplish. It will not open the Straits. It will not compel the Iranian gov to collapse or surrender. Sending these men into combat on a militarily unattainable mission is reprehensible.

If the president orders this operation, all the casualties that result will be an egregious and flagrant sacrifice of their lives to satisfy one man’s pride and arrogance, but in no way, shape or form, will they have died defending their country.

If I were a family member of any of these troops and my loved one was sent to death for the vanity of one man, I would be outraged.

As it turns out, I am outraged anyway, and all Americans should be if the lives of our service members are held in such content by our political leadership.

@RandPaul We appreciate you out wesr @RandPaul . Thank you for all you do and being a true patriot.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

A sitting U.S. Senator and DHS Secretary nominee told me he "understood" the violent attack on me from behind.

Not condemned it.

Not apologized for it.

Understood it.

He also offered zero apology for his past statements.

This is unacceptable.
