Eight years ago today, President Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal.
At the time, Iran’s nuclear program was constrained and under the strictest inspections regime in the world. Today, Iran has enough Highly Enriched Uranium for 10 nuclear bombs.
Diplomacy was working, and abandoning it was a historic strategic mistake.
Instead of building on the JCPOA, Trump chose a devastating war: Thousands dead across the region, soaring energy costs, strained alliances, depleted US stockpiles, and a Middle East that is far more dangerous today than it was in 2018.
Now, after all the destruction, the administration is back at the negotiating table trying to rebuild the kind of agreement it walked away from in the first place. If they come to a sensible deal we should support it.
But we must also remember. Neither withdrawing from the agreement nor launching this war made Americans safer. It didn’t make Israelis safer. It didn’t make the Middle East safer.

It's no coincidence here that this explosion in ICE funding is also a complete giveaway to the surveillance tech companies…
They can continue funneling billions of dollars in corruption, whether it's offshore accounts, whether it's these crypto coins, whether it's jacking up tariffs and costs on the American people so that the billionaires that funded this administration and Donald Trump himself can get away with lining their own pockets.
They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.
Trump demolishing the White House to build a $250 million ballroom funded by Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir — all during a government shutdown, and as he covers up the Epstein Files — captures it all pretty well doesn't it
Stephen Miller’s speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial was essentially plagiarized. See if you can spot the similarities.
The Storm is Coming by Joseph Goebbels (1932)
“So our dead comrade Horst Wessel wrote, and we are fulfilling his prophesy. The others may lie, slander, and pour their scorn on us — their political days are numbered.”
“They promised you, workers, citizens and creative Germans, a Reich of freedom and beauty and dignity.”
“People, rise up, and storm, break loose!”
“You are the witnesses, the builders, the will-bearers of our idea and our worldview.”
“Well, we the people have awakened! We have risen against oppression, 15 million people have joined in an army of revenge.”
“You, men, women and comrades, are the bearers, witnesses, builders and finishers of this unique people’s uprising… We have served the truth, and only the truth. For twelve years, they have insulted and outlawed and slandered and persecuted us.”
The Rules Committee is now voting on an actual bill that would force the release of the Epstein documents.
Every House Republican voted no. Every Democrat voted yes.
#Chiefs WR @nikkoremigio on what Travis Kelce told him after he fair caught the first punt of the AFC Championship game 👀🔊
"That's not being great bro..."
Remigio took the next punt for 41 yards 😏

The Chiefs have actually gotten the fewest help from the refs since Mahomes became the starting QB
Since 2018, Kansas City ranks:
1st in Total Penalty Yards
21st in Total Penalty Margin
32nd in Offensive Penalties Committed EPA
31st in Defensive Penalties Committed EPA
Since Patrick Mahomes became starting QB for Chiefs in 2018, KC has been penalized for 693 more yards than their opponents (playoffs included). That's the 4th worst penalty yard differential in that span
@QuintonLucasKC Why don’t Dems tie the popular issues to the candidates? Seems every year our state votes for dem issues and GOP candidates without realizing it
