Sen. Jon Ossoff: "On Wednesday of this last week Donald Trump said the #IranWar was done. And then on Thursday another ship was struck by Iran. On Friday, the president was bombing again. This is what happens when you send your son-in-law, Jared, to cosplay as a diplomat. See, despite zero qualifications, Prince Jared was tapped to lead Middle East diplomacy."

Steven Dennis wrote yesterday: "Sen. Thune just got consent of all 100 senators to adjourn for 19 days at the conclusion of today’s business. Bottom line: Trump’s demands that the Senate pass the Save America Act even if they have to gut the filibuster is still going absolutely nowhere, despite today’s Trump airing of grievances before, during, and after lunch and Trump's taking his own legislative agenda hostage." #politics #mismanagement

Sen. Bill Cassidy said to Trump about the #IranWar: "You have not told the American people what is going on. This war was supposed to last for four weeks, it's lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved. And I want to know what's going on."

Cassidy added about Trump: "He did not particularly care for my comments."

In response to the firing of Gen. Chris Donahue by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Chuck Todd wrote: "One of the hardest stories to convey to the general public is the damage being done by this overt politicizing of the military by Hegseth. There are a lot of soldiers who are quietly trying to speak out but struggle with going outside the chain of command."

Gen. (Ret.) Barry McCaffrey also criticize Pete's reckless decision.
