Instead of offering a plan for Iran, Trump boasted to the press about his gold-encrusted ballroom.

Trump treats war like a game, and the lives lost are just numbers on a board named Operation Epic Fury.

It’s time for Congress to stop this.

Alex Pretti and RenΓ©e Good were murdered by federal agents. Soon after, Secretary Noem labeled them 'domestic terrorists.’

I gave her the chance to recant and apologize for the pain she's caused their families with these outrageous lies. She refused.
