🚨BOOM: Sen. Chris Van Hollen drops a BOMB on Marco Rubio and Trump about Iran:
“Netanyahu said the other day that he's been waiting 40 years… to get to this point…
It took him 40 years to find an American president who is STUPID enough to drag America into this war.”
From teaming up with Netanyahu to launch an illegal war in Iran to creating a humanitarian crisis in Cuba to muzzling free speech, Secretary Rubio's tenure has been a disaster.
As our top diplomat, he's responsible for this dumpster-fire.
Asked today how he feels about negotiations with Iran collapsing, Trump said, "I couldn't care less."
You'd think the president of the United States would care about service members dying and millions paying more for gas because of his illegal and unconstitutional war.
Here are some punchy “fun facts” you can share:
• There are 3,428 billionaires in the world right now — roughly the population of a small town.
• The United States alone has 989 billionaires — more than any other country by a mile.
• These 3,428 people (0.000043% of the world’s population) control $20.1 trillion in wealth.
• All the billionaires on Earth combined own roughly 3.5–4.5% of total global household wealth.
• For context: The top 1% of people own 37–43% of all wealth, and the top 10% own 75–85%.
• Billionaire wealth has been growing roughly twice as fast as the overall global economy.
Bonus perspective:
• If you took all 3,428 billionaires and put them in one room, they’d have more combined money than the GDP of most countries on Earth.
• The average billionaire is worth about $5.86 billion.
These numbers show just how extremely concentrated the very top is — even if they don’t “own everything,” their slice is wildly outsized.
And just for some real perspective, there’s approximately 8 billion people in the world. This pie chart had to actually thicken the line jut so you could see it. Otherwise there would be no visible line because they make up such a sliver of the population. LET THIS REALLY SINK IN PEOPLE…..and you all think you have choices?
My two opponents: a congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and a coach who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.
Let me get this straight.
Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
Four weeks later, Lutnick wrote a $5 million check to the super PAC that funds House Republicans, including members who sit on that committee. Then he showed up for a closed-door interview where, despite pushback from Democrats, no cameras or recordings were allowed.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.

Losing your mind over undocumented immigrants committing a misdemeanor while supporting a president with 34 felony convictions is certainly a... choice
DEAR DONALD,
HAPPY 99TH ANNIVERSARY TO YOUR DAD. HE HAD THE GUTS TO MARCH FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN, THE KKK. HE MUST BE SO PROUD AS HE LOOKS UP AT YOU FROM HELL. EVERY DAD PASSES ON HIS GENES, BUT TO PASS ON GENES WITH LITTLE HOODS ON, NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO WHITE HOME ABOUT.
Sen. @ossoff: This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. Just like Iraq, it's a war built on lies. Let's update the record.
On day 1, Trump said the war was running ahead of schedule.
On day 10, he said it was very complete.
Day 21, getting very close.
Day 32, leaving very soon.
On day 39, the President of the United States said 'a whole civilization will die tonight.'
And on day 40, he declared 'total and complete victory.'
Day 67, 'great progress.'
Day 79, 'the clock is ticking.'
Today is day 92.
And on day 92, Iran's ballistic missiles and drones have not been destroyed and the Strait of Hormuz, which was opened before the war, is still closed.
Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.
Sorry for my far left opinion, but every job should pay a living wage that allows people to actually live. If someone works at KFC, they should be able to pay their bills, meet their basic needs, and still save money, because that is what work is for.
Sen. @ossoff: Just weeks into this war. They said they'd need $200 billion to fund it. Let me put that in perspective for you, $200 billion would fund a decade, 10 full years of nationwide universal pre-K. The America first president who said he would end foreign wars to put America first and focus on America's working class. Instead, now he says, "it's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid or Medicare." Now he says all we can afford is war.
