Trump was asked what Americans should expect in his war with Iran, which has already lasted many times longer than he promised.
He responded with a comparison to the Vietnam War.
This is insane.

Donald Trump has turned the presidency into the most lucrative business venture of his life, nearly tripling his net worth.
It's repulsive. This level of self-dealing is unlike anything we’ve seen from any other President and my Republican colleagues should stop enabling it.

When families lose SNAP or Medicaid, they may also lose access to other supports for which they are eligible, including free school meals. These ripple effects can reduce children’s access to essential nutrition and increase hardship for families. https://ampr.gs/3SJsqm4

NEW: A year after H.R. 1 enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history, the number of children receiving SNAP nationwide has likely dropped by more than 1.5 million, based on our analysis of available data from 17 states. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Over 4 million Americans have lost food assistance because of Trump and Republicans' Big Ugly Bill.
People will go hungry at the hands of this Republican majority.
Trump tried to game the courts to bless an illegal scheme to siphon nearly $2 billion in taxpayer dollars into a slush fund and shield his family from tax audits.
The courts saw through it, shut it down, and referred administration lawyers for possible disciplinary action.
NEW: A federal judge said President Trump attempted to manipulate the courts, concocting a lawsuit to justify the settlement that established the "anti-weaponization" fund and shielded his family from IRS scrutiny.

For decades, the Endangered Species Act allowed America to innovate without harming wildlife.
This move by the Trump administration will have catastrophic impacts on endangered species and the habitats that support them.
Breaking News: The Trump administration moved to open the habitats of imperiled animals to farming, drilling, mining and other development. Environmentalists characterized it as the most severe erosion of protections for wildlife in half a century. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/c...
For over 200 years free and fair elections have been the cornerstone of our democracy.
Donald Trump is interfering with the independent institutions that help run our elections, we're going to do everything we can to ensure that your right to vote is protected in November.
President Trump fired members of the bipartisan Elections Assistance Commission less than two weeks after the Supreme Court gave him broad leeway to reshape boards that were designed to be independent.

Students are expected to pay more for school, all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and corporations.
We need people with advanced degrees make our country strong, so those degrees must be affordable for all.
Trump and Republicans put those degrees farther out of reach.
4/4
Most notably, the bill eliminates key repayment plans that graduates have come to rely on.
Many borrowers found relief in the SAVE plan, which after months of limbo is now completely eliminated.
New borrowers have access to only one plan that will increase payments for most.
3/
The bill caps unsubsidized loans for graduate or professional programs while also reclassifying certain degrees as "non-professional."
Among the reclassified degrees is nursing. As our country is facing a shortage of nursing staff, Trump is making it harder to become a nurse.
2/
Thanks to Trump and the "Big Beautiful Bill" advanced degrees are getting less affordable.
Earlier this month, changes to the student loan program kicked in. Here's how you could be impacted:
Congress ratified the 14th Amendment to help end slavery after the Civil War and ensure that everyone born in America would be a citizen and have equal protections under the law.
Trump's effort to undermine those rights is exactly what our abolitionist forefathers fought against.
Pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been in Israeli prison for 18 months without charges, and his lawyer reports he has been tortured and his life is at stake.
Dr. Safiya must be released immediately to receive the care he needs, and to continue his lifesaving work in Gaza.

He came to the US 35 year ago. He worked in construction and built a small business. He sent 3 kids to college.
Now he's dead at the hands of ICE. They claim he "weaponized" his car against them. Sound familiar?
@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on the latest casualty of Trump's deportation regime.
It’s long past time to end this pointless war.
The American people reject this war, and both chambers of Congress voted to end it.
More strikes won’t achieve what months of escalation already haven’t. Diplomacy is the only path forward.
Meanwhile, people in the top 1% will get an additional $23,000 benefit.
In Trump's economy, the rich get richer while everyone else falls behind.
Read the full report here:
4/4
By the end of 2026, home health aides and nursing assistants will lose $860, retail sales workers will lose $800, and firefighters will lose $270. Workers in the office and administrative support sector will lose more than $600.
3/
The Joint Economic Committee found that even after the Supreme Court blocked some of Trump’s tariffs, working families continue to pay the price for Trump’s remaining tariffs.
Across different sectors, workers are feeling the consequences of Trump's economic policies.
2/
It's been one year since Donald Trump and Republicans passed their so-called "Big Beautiful Bill."
They promised the bill would lower costs and put more money back in American's pockets.
But under Trump's tax and tariff policies, workers lose hundreds of dollars.
