You don’t let up, you don’t do a peace process while you’re not bombing, because, quite frankly, these guys have been defiant. This Tehran regime needs to be replaced. I’ve been…

Rich McCormick (R-GA) said that President Donald Trump is doing a tit for tat with Iran that’s “measured” and “he’s trying to weigh how this effects inflation, gas prices, and a bunch of international relationships” instead of just being “unrelenting” like McCormick thinks we should.

Rand Paul (R-KY) said that the proposal for defense spending is so much that “you can’t even print it that fast,” “it threatens our country. The biggest threat we have right now is our debt.

Monday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said President Donald Trump was “flailing” on his Iran policy because he can’t think strategically. Kelly said, “Every service member who volunteers to join the U.S. military deploy overseas, they understand the risk. The risk is from doing something that’s in furtherance of our safety and our national security. And people get that. I flew 39 combat missions in the first Gulf War. We’ve got millions of veterans that have fought overseas, over the years, over the decades. And, you know, that’s part of the deal. What you don’t expect…
Vice President JD Vance responded to New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s (D) admission that thousands of non-citizens were registered to vote in her state as a result of a “software error,” calling on New Jersey’s Democrat senators to vote for the SAVE America Act.

Phil Murphy (D) was in office. “These individuals answered ‘no’ when…
