Ari Fleischer @AriFleischerMr. Vice-President, Please allow me to present a different perspective. The problem was not the Iran War. It was the cease fire. If you start a war, you need to win it and finish it – otherwise don’t start it. This war should have been over six months ago, with the Strait of Hormuz wide open and oil flowing. The second and third tiers of Iranian leadership should have been destroyed, and we should have supported the pro-western forces who could have taken leadership. We stood on the brink of a new, more peaceful Middle East - and then we blinked. We had a chance not only to deny Iran nuclear weapons, but to get rid of the world’s biggest supporter of terrorism. Instead, we had a cease fire, which was followed by months of will we or won’t we finish the job. Every day was a different message. There still is. Is the war over? Is it about to begin? No one knows. There is confusion and inconsistency. In June 2025, America was not involved. This was an Israel vs Iran issue. No one forced the United States to attack Iran then, or in February of 2026. It was a decision made by President Trump. In my opinion, it was the right decision. Once the decision was made, we should not have stopped until the regime fell. But instead, you negotiated a cease fire that didn’t last, didn’t work and left us in no man’s land, with higher prices and our troops still deployed. Our troops could have been home, the Navy returned to its bases, a peaceful regime in place , new alliances forged, and gas prices below $3.00 a gallon. No, Mr. Vice President. It’s not the war. It’s the so-called cease fire.

Clash Report @clashreportRep. Ted Lieu on AI: The Trump administration and House Republicans made a conscious decision to let the AI industry run wild. That was a bad decision politically and on policy. Next term, we will hold public hearings on AI and pass legislation with reasonable guardrails.
The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetterBREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio now expected to resign and launch a presidential bid, as he "needs to distance himself from the Iran war and pin that one on Trump," per The Independent. He will "run for the hills in the aftermath of the midterms humiliation," one Rubio ally said. "Rubio will be gone after the midterms. There will be about four or five of them running for the hills," the Rubio ally adds. A Republican source close to Rubio said "The country has completely turned against Trump. People cannot even say where Iran is on a map and do not get this war. The cost of gas has really pissed people off."
