Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
graphic with the quote, "When a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it's front-page news. I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's response to US troops dying
"It is time to stop the fighting and get to serious diplomatic negotiations," United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said of the US-Israeli war on Iran. "The stakes could not be higher."
Mehdi Mahmoudian worries Iran could experience an endless cycle of violence unless — or until — it achieves democracy.
lmao Trump is not even pretending to listen to Steve Scalise
KAROLIE says “it does not really matter” if Putin is helping Iran target Americans🤔

As America’s largest agricultural producer, we’re concerned about the cost of Trump’s war on food.

The United States had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Donald Trump ripped that deal up and got nothing in return.
Biden: "We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values we have. And I don't think I'm exaggerating."

The DoD is spending billions to build a shield to destroy missiles launched against the U.S. At least four of the companies awarded contracts so far are owned by a private equity firm founded by billionaire turned Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg.
Is Noem the worst DHS secretary in history? She was a cipher filling a TV role cast by Trump, responding to his every whim and impulse, while the White House micromanaged the mass deportation operation. No, Donald Trump is the worst DHS secretary in history.
