Policy Soup stir the pot ALPHA

Kash Patel has announced that UFC fighters will train FBI agents on "defense techniques."

Even Trump can't remember his own reasons for this war with Iran. He's getting people killed and shifting the narrative all while Americans continue to struggle at home.

“It’s not just a question of affordability, many families have no choice.” That’s how Rep. Schneider describes the caregiving crisis in America. Parents across the country are spending a third to half of their income just on daycare so they can go to work, and the cost of raising kids rising.

Even Trump’s own MAGA party is calling out this tragedy.

GOP Sen. John Kennedy admits Trump likely bombed a girls' school in Iran: "The kids are still dead. I think it was a horrible, horrible mistake. I wish it hadn't have happened. I'm sorry it happened. ... That's the sort of thing Russia does"

7 dead. 140+ injured. And Republicans are silent. The longer they refuse to act, the more American service members will pay the price. All because they won’t stand up to a President who launched a war of choice with no clear rationale and no exit strategy.

Trump's unhinged war of choice with Iran is coming home to roost. Oil prices have skyrocketed, and things are getting so bad that even Fox News can't figure out how to spin it.

Hate in its purest form. Every Republican must condemn Andy’s bigotry. He doesn’t deserve to hold public office.

Trump’s war with Iran is a war of choice. Americans won't support risking our service members' lives when the commander and chief can't even explain why we're at war in the first place.

Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and everyone in this administration lied to the American people. And we’re going to expose it. Period.

BREAKING: 92,000 jobs LOST in February, but here’s Trump LYING to the country that “we can’t stop winning.”

The US economy lost 92,000 jobs last month, far worse than expected. https://cnn.it/4rNtNg2

The moment you hear ICE Barbie got FIRED.

Trump fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and replaced her with a Senator who once said kids born in the U.S. should be deported alongside their parents. Every senator who votes to confirm him owns the consequences.

A new name on the office door doesn’t change the agenda. I won’t vote to give DHS another dollar while they keep targeting people as guilty before proven innocent based on how they look, their accent, or the job they do.

BREAKING President Trump has fired Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary and says he is replacing her with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.

I support the Iran War Powers Resolution because Americans deserve the truth, and Congress must have a say before our country is dragged into another forever war with Iran. This is a war of choice disguised as a war of necessity.
