Maasdam: What we’re doing overseas — spending billions of dollars a day. In two weeks, we probably spent $25 billion. We had an Ayatollah Khomeini to start, and now we have a new Ayatollah Khomeini. And how is this making things in my district more affordable for people? It’s not

Be ANGRY about the SAVE Act, not scared!

The genius businessman strikes again

I think it’s safe to say Trump is unlikely to successfully defend his FIFA Peace Prize championship this year

Trump: "We are doing more to help women struggling with infertility than any administration in history. I got a call from Katie Britt. She explained the problem. I wasn't that familiar with it, I must tell you, but after about two minutes I understood it very well. We solved it."

Trump: "We have the Olympics, we have the World Cup, and the biggest is 250. And I did all three of them."

Trump Women's Month speech: "I didn't read-- I can't prepa-- if I prepare my speeches I won't time to get things done. You ever hear that? I cannot prepare. So I didn't know who the hell I was speaking to, but I walked in and I saw this beautiful woman with the blonde hair."

Trump to a little kid before he signs a document: "Watch what I do"

"Isn't he just the best?" -- Olympian Kaillie Humphries gives Trump an award for his impact on women's sports and "standing up to keep biological women in women's sports"

Q: Is there anything you can share about the Old Dominion shooting and the Michigan synagogue shooting? TRUMP: Yes. Tragic *walks away*

Jeffries: He’s been a failure. Republicans have been a failure. And to the extent that we need regime change at this moment, it is going to come in November.

Trump makes stuff up: "Here's a stat -- our capital is considered the safest capital anywhere in the world. How about that? I think we went from the most unsafe."

Trump is delulu: "Jobs are coming in through the roof and we have factories being built all over the country. We've taken in $18 trillion plus in 11 months."

Trump: "Since I took office we created we've created more than three hundredjerb -- thraaahuuuu take a listen to this number three hundred thousand jobs."

Trump during his Women's Month event: "I'm not allowed to use the word 'beautiful' but I'm using it anyway. Usually it's the end of your political career if you say a woman is a beautiful woman. They say that's a termination of his career. But somehow it hasn't hurt too much."

Trump shouts out Kellyanne Conway ... and seems to think she still works for him?

Trump shouts out Karoline Leavitt and says, "She keeps me straight. 'No sir, you can't do that, you can't do this.' I can't do anything. Life would be so much more exciting, wouldn't it?"

Trump: "The situation with Iran is moving along very rapidly. It's doing very well. They are a nation of terror and hate. We are honored to be joined by many extraordinary ladies, working moms."

Trump: "We love women. Women are the whole deal."

Melania Trump glazes herself: "As a visionary, I know success is not born overnight. Often alone at the top, I follow my passion, listen to my instinct, and always maintain a laser focus."

i would watch the shit out of that

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

"It’s a frightening reality of the Trump regime that, as he's descended into utter incoherence & is now nothing more than an assortment of adolescent (& frequently violent) urges, the govt has been remade into a tool for the immediate satisfaction of his desires no matter how nihilistic they may be"

A lead security guard struck by the car was taken to the hospital for treatment and is expected to be OK, according to law enforcement.

Suspect in the alleged attack on Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan is dead after synagogue security confronted and killed him when he rammed a vehicle into the building during an active shooter situation; no victims were reported.

An overview of the Middle East oil crisis. It's much worse than the Trump Regime is admitting. ⬇️ mdavis19881.substack.com/p/trumps-epi...

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his conversation with Iran's president:

Trump: "Where is the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome 'Too Late' Powell, today? He should be dropping Interest Rates, IMMEDIATELY, not waiting for the next meeting! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

I just finished watching a report on the BBC about Iran mining the Straits and that three ships have been attacked.

Bessent: "That was always in our planning -- the chance that the US Navy or perhaps an international coalition will be escorting tankers through. There are tankers coming through now. We know that they have not mined the Straits."

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani to Trump:

Happy Thor's Day! Meet it like you just might crack someone with a hammer!

"This fault lies directly on Trump and Hegseth" -- Sen. Andy Kim points out that the Trump administration gutted the budget for the DoD's "civilian protection center," which could've helped Hegseth and company not bomb an elementary school in Iran

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East? REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that? R: I cannot explain that

Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec. Hegseth did not cut the funding for this area of review by 90%, if he did not continually try to undermine the rules & procedures our service members & generals take - I think he should resign bc of this failure"

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

NATO Ambassador Whitaker: "There's no indication we can talk about publicly that the Russians are participating with the Iranians. In fact, Steve Witkoff has said the Russians told him they are not. But even if they are, it's certainly not helpful because the Iranians are getting their butts kicked"

"It’s almost as if Trump felt that, as a would-be dictator, he had to have his own nihilistic war, just like his idol Vlad Putin. But Trump’s 'excursion' against Iran is nothing like Putin’s years long 'special military operation' against Ukraine — it’s actually more stupid." — @davidrlurie.com

The multi-national oil companies operating in the US make a lot of money. The average American gets screwed. Which pretty much sums up Trump and the Republican Party’s approach to the economy.

NASA’s mission is exploration, science, and discovery, not political flattery. When the head of a scientific agency sounds more like a campaign surrogate than a steward of research, it raises a simple question: is the priority space exploration or loyalty to power?

Trump's new NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "We have the best president. Loves space."

Gen. Grynkewich: "The price of oil and has has gone up. We know that Putin depends on that. I think how much he benefits from it depends on how long those prices remain elevated. I know the president is watching this very closely."

PERINO: There was an X post that talked about a ship safely going through Strait of Hormuz. It wasn't true. People lost money. What have you done to ensure it doesn't happen again? Will you personally approve posts? WRIGHT: Yes I will. I take full ownership. Very unfortunate. It won't happen again.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Fortunately, the US produces more oil than we can consume -- we're a net oil exporter. So overall for the US economy, this isn't bad news."
