Trump today: If Iran does not agree to a deal “There will be bombing and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before”

Can he go 1 day without threatening a new war? How many would he like?

- Panama
- Gaza
- Mexico
- Yemen
- Somalia
- Gaza
- Venezuela

Is 8 enough?

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.

NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

We need to push back.
