Home of the Brave

Meet the new Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin:

Andrew Schulz: "Americans are furious about it because how the fuck does this benefit me? I can't afford to pay for college. I can't buy a home. I can't pay for health insurance and we're gonna spend billions of dollars on a war in a country I can't even point out on a map?"

Andrew Schulz on war in Iran: "Trump tweeted 'We have unlimited missiles.' Trump only tweets shit like that when shit ain't going well. Like when the economy sucks he's like 'It's the greatest economy that's ever happened in history.'"

"Donald Trump wants housing prices to GO UP!"

Home of the Brave is running this ad for three weeks targeting renters in nine areas that have seen extreme increases for home prices: Detroit, Tampa, Dallas, Phoenix, Columbus, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Nashville.

Q: "Is there a rationale that they could offer that would convince you that it's worth sacrificing American blood and treasure?"

Rep. Moulton: "Certainly not without a plan…It's very clear that they have no plan. And the parallels here with Iraq are devastating."

Rep. Moulton on Iran: "You've got to tell us why. You owe that to Congress, to the American people, and most of all, to the troops about to lose their lives."

Q: "Donald Trump has talked about 'boots on the ground.' Marco Rubio has talked about how the bombing campaign against Iran will escalate in the coming days. Are both those things on the table?"

Sen. Gallego: "Certainly. What I've been told is that they're not off the table."

Sen. Ruben Gallego on Iran briefing: "I still don't know what the endgame is. There still is no clear indication. What is success? What is victory?…I think the American public has been very clear that we don't want another forever war."

Trump: "We have a virtually unlimited supply of weapons. Wars can be fought 'forever,' and very successfully, using just these supplies."

Bezos’ Gutting of The Washington Post is Bad Business It’s also morally reprehensible, cowardly, and un-democratic.

NEW: "In 2017, during the first year of Trump 1.0, the Washington Post adopted a new slogan: 'Democracy Dies in Darkness.' Oh, how times have changed."

Trump on Iran — in his own words.

Rumsfeld: "I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today would last five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't gonna last any longer than that."

Hegseth: " It may or may not take four weeks, two weeks, six weeks. It could move up, it could move back."

Tulsi Gabbard: "How does a war with Iran serve the best interest of the American people?… It would cost U.S. taxpayers trillions of dollars…Forget about having the resources that we need for things like healthcare, education, and affordable housing." (2019)

Tulsi Gabbard: "This president and his chickenhawk cabinet have led us to the brink of war with Iran…No war with Iran." (2019)

Tulsi Gabbard: "A war with Iran would make the war in Iraq look like a cakewalk. The devastation and the costs would be far greater than anything we've ever experienced before."

Tulsi Gabbard: "An all out war with Iran would make the wars that we've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan look like a picnic. It will be far more costly in lives, American lives, and American taxpayer dollars — and all towards accomplishing what goal? What objective?" (2020)

Tulsi Gabbard released a fundraising video in 2019 titled "Trump's Path To War With Iran"

"We've gotta stop Donald Trump from starting a war with Iran."

Here's Tulsi Gabbard's 2020 campaign video titled "The U.S. must NOT go to war with Iran"

" Join me in sending a strong message to Donald Trump — the U.S. must not go to war with Iran."

Tulsi Gabbard's endorsement of Trump in 2024: " I am confident that [Trump's] first task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war. We cannot be prosperous unless we are at peace."

JD Vance 9 months before the Trump administration launched a new regime change war: " Our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change. We do not want to protract this or build this out any more than it's already been built out."

NEW: "What happened to me is not about politics. It is not about immigration policy. And it is not about one bad decision made in a chaotic moment."

JD Vance in 2024: " Our interest, I think, very much is in not going to war with Iran.  It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country."

Trump on Iran in 2012: "You could make a much better deal than war, but it may be good politics."

Pete Hegseth: "The War Department will not be distracted by democracy-building, interventionism, undefined wars, regime change…and feckless nation-building."

Trump in 2011: " I think Obama will go to war with Iran because I think he views it as good politically, and that's pretty sad…With the kind of leadership we have, we'll probably have to use the military and we can make a better deal without having to do it."

Trump in 2012: " I happen to think that the president is going to start a war with Iran. I think it'll be a short term popular thing to do and I think he's going to do that for political reasons."

Trump: " We are finally putting America first. Our policy of never ending war regime change and nation-building is being replaced by the clear eye pursuit of American interest…It is the job of our military to protect our security, not to be the policeman of the world."

Trump: "I'm not going to start a war. I'm gonna stop wars…I am the candidate of peace. I am peace."

Sen. Rosen to Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: "[Pam Bondi] wouldn't even turn around and look at you…'But what about the Dow?'… It was shameful…The way she looked down as you stood there so bravely. I'm so proud of you."

Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: "This idea that [Trump] was exonerated is so inaccurate…We know that there is evidence out there that really needs to be investigated. It's never gone through a process, so how could he be exonerated?"
