Heck of a decision now in the hands of Trump White House.
Do they start bombing in Iran again to take the focus of Epstein?
Do they come up with another Epstein angle to take the focus of #HormuzHumiliation?

"The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history." @alexshephard.bsky.social on Trump's #HormuzHumiliation newrepublic.com/article/2087...
If they think that asking for $80-$100B instead of $200B will take the sting out of a vote for Trump & Hegseth's #HormuzHumiliation, the answer is hell to the NO.
Taxpayers didn't ask for this war.
Not one D vote — & any swing Rs, vote Yes at your peril.

The Trump regime will now reportedly ask for $80-100 billion instead of $200 billion for Trump's unnecessary, lawless war leading to America's #HormuzHumiliation.
The response from Ds & GOPers facing voters should be pretty simple: HELL NO - not another dime for Trump's endless war.
Nearly 100 congressional Democrats are calling for the president’s removal from office over his threats to Iran.
Good on Dems to stay on offense around Trump and Hegseth's #HormuzHumiliation.
"Trump fucked up, he blew it, he got his ass kicked, and embarrassed the country in doing so. Mock his puppets mercilessly when they try to insist otherwise." - @brianbeutler.bsky.social on why Dems should stay on offense to fire (impeach/remove) Trump for America's #HormuzHumiliation
Republicans sticking w Trump after the #HormuzHumiliation are like:
- #MUFC fans who stuck w Amorim after tying w/ Wolves at OT
- #UCLA fans who kept defending Lavin, Alford, Chip Kelly till the end (are sticking w/ Cronin)
- Asking #49ers & #Eagles fans to stick w/ Kelly after he wrecked the teams
If a President Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter led America to such an embarrassing humiliating defeat as the #HormuzHumiliation - the Congress (even if it were led by Democrats) would have impeached and convicted them out of the office.
Coaches get fired for being losers.
The #HormuzHumiliation is "an immense strategic defeat—and one that knocks the legs out from under the entire American system of power projection and global predominance." @ryanlcooper.com
“We’ve also destroyed our moral credibility: Trump may have TACOed at the last minute, but he threatened to commit gigantic war crimes — and for all practical purposes our political and civil institutions gave him permission to do so.” - @pkrugman.bsky.social on Trump’s #HormuzHumiliation
