Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Trump seems too comfortable with US deaths in his futile Iran war | Opinion Announcing the deaths of three U.S. soldiers following his attack on Iran, President Donald Trump said 'that’s the way it is.' Good lord.

"What they saw was a convicted felon, a man who has been found liable for sexual abuse, a man who is a billionaire living the highest of high lives—deciding on his own that American troops would enter another Middle East war." Devastating from @rexhuppke.bsky.social

Two additional American service members were killed in the conflict with Iran. The latest fatalities bring the total number of U.S. troops lost so far to six. 💔🙏
