The president is playing checkers, not chess. He thought this was going to be Venezuela. Iran is not Venezuela.

If we come out of this with a strategically stronger Iran, one that knows it can close the Strait at any time and cripple the world economy, it's a geopolitical failure of enormous proportions.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Love how Trump keeps threatening Powell and he just keeps telling the truth about the administration’s dismal record.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

This one is so much more accurate than the original.

[Katherine Clark @WhipKClark]

Donald Trump tried to deport an innocent Tufts student to fill Stephen Miller’s inhumane quota.

Now, he’s fired the judge who rightfully stopped him.

This is the stuff of dictators.

[Jewish Dems @USJewishDems]

Trump has diminished U.S. credibility, alienated our allies, threatened war crimes and the elimination of an entire civilization, and destabilized the U.S. and global economies.

He must be held accountable.

Our statement:

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

Our nation is at a moral crossroads.

Trump asked Congress for over 1 trillion to fund the Department of Defense and his war of choice. To get it, MAGA Republicans want to defund childcare. Healthcare. Education.

I won't stand for that.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that Donald Trump's ceasefire made clear that he accomplished none of his objectives in Iran. Woah.

The reason they need lawyers is so ICE won’t decide on their own who’s “illegal.”

[Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance @MassFiscal]

Massachusetts Senate set to vote on lawyers for illegal migrants later today.

$5M wasn't enough! Cities and towns are scraping pennies together because of chronic state underfunding.

Is this really where your money should be going?

The ceasefire was a complete fiction. While the White House announced one, missiles were still flying across Israel, Iran, and Lebanon. Reality doesn’t match the headline.

The White House was forced to backtrack today because the proposed “10-point deal” from Iran was a disaster that would let them enrich uranium, fund proxies like Hezbollah, maintain leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, and get sanctions relief. Even top allies like Mark Levin and Larry Kudlow are calling it a disaster.

Let’s be honest about how we got here: there was never an imminent threat to the U.S. Now we’re stuck in it, negotiating from a weakened position.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Tapper: The statement from Iran's supreme national security council did not fit the messaging that the Trump administration wanted to project. And instead of calling out the Iranian regime, President Trump attacked CNN by falsely claiming we made it up. We didn't make it up.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

This is a lie. About 50% of the files have been released and per our subpoena it’s illegal to withhold them.

Blanche may think it’s over, but we are just getting started.

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

President Trump treats America like his personal empire—waging unnecessary wars, enriching allies and himself, ignoring Congress, and leaving civilians and global stability in ruins, says Cato’s @Doug_Bandow. This is not what the Founders envisioned.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Pete Hegseth is recklessly firing some of our most dedicated military leaders.

These are folks with hundreds of years of combined experience, being pushed out with no notice.

Hegseth’s political purges are endangering our national security.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

It’s been 297 weeks since Donald Trump said he’d release his healthcare plan in “two weeks,” just in case you were wondering how long “two to three weeks” is in Trump time.

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

DAVID ROHDE: “Iran offered to give away ALL of its ENRICHED URANIUM during the recent peace talks. Hours later the U.S. started dropping bombs.”

Everything we’re being told by the Trump admin is a lie. He’s single-handedly destroying the United States.

[Amock_ @Amockx2022]

🇺🇸 Trump at 9:00 –– "Regime change was not our goal. We don't want that"

🇺🇸 Trump at 9:07 –– "Regime change is what we want. It is needed"

Trust me, both statements are just 7 minutes apart made in the same speech 🤣

🇮🇷 Iran has made him lose his mind

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Arsonist pretends to be a firefighter, demands you pay to put out the fire he started, then leaves the fire for you to put out — then demands a “world’s best firefighter” award.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Let me say something every Republican needs to hear right now.

Trump does not care if you lose.

He does not care about your career, your district, your donors, or your family.

Trump cares about three things. Money. Attention. Self-aggrandizement.

That’s the complete list.

And the idea that Trump is going to help Republicans win in 2028 is a bunch of malarkey.

You want to know who Trump actually wants as his successor? Gavin Newsom.

The narcissistic nihilistic logic is this: you were nothing before I got here and when I leave, you’ll be nothing again.

That’s the supreme narcissist’s final move.

A Democrat winning in 2028 proves his point perfectly.

Don Jr. has already said they want to be the richest family in the world before they leave the presidency.

God only knows what they’re doing to get there.

So if you’re a Republican still betting your future on this man’s loyalty — understand one thing clearly.

There is no loyalty. There is only the transaction.

And you’re not the one getting paid.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Surprise!

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

The strait was open. He starts a war. The strait closes. The world economy gets fucked. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, he gets bored, he declares victory, and he tells the rest of the world to open the strait, to clean up his mess. He’s such a prick. He’s such a destructive prick.
