One week before the midterms, Trump endorses Netanyahu and highlights their shared support for the Iran War. At the same time, Netanyahu is pressing for more strikes.
הנשיא טראמפ: לאזרחי ישראל: למי מכם שטרם ראה זאת, אני מצרף את הודעת התמיכה שהענקתי לפני שבוע לראש הממשלה שלכם, ביבי נתניהו. כולם יודעים, כולל האויב, שלביבי ולי יש מערכת יחסים מצוינת ושאנחנו מנצחים יחד. ביצעתי את המתקפה בוונצואלה, אחת הפעולות הצבאיות המוצלחות ביותר בהיסטוריה. עוד קודם לכן ביצענו את מבצע ״פטיש חצות״, שמנע מהמדינה המובילה בעולם במתן חסות לטרור להשיג נשק גרעיני. לאחר מכן ביצענו את מבצע ״זעם אדיר״, וכעת לאיראן אין חיל ים ואין חיל אוויר. הצבא והכלכלה שלה מרוסקים, והאינפלציה באיראן עומדת על 301%. המצור הימי מנע ממנה לקבל נפט, ושתי שכבות של הנהגה, צבאית ואזרחית, אינן עוד. כשתלכו לקלפיות, אנא זכרו שביבי הוא ראש ממשלה לוחם יוצא מן הכלל! אנשים רעים מאוד כינו את ישראל ״השטן הקטן״ ואת ארצות הברית ״השטן הגדול״. אסור עוד שהקריאה ״מוות לאמריקה, מוות לישראל״ תישמע ברחבי העולם, והיא לא תישמע. הצביעו לביבי נתניהו לראשות הממשלה. עלינו להשלים את המשימה שהתחלנו! הנשיא דונלד ג׳יי. טראמפ

OSSOFF: If you’re late with your rent, the machinery of late fees and eviction is very efficient. But when you tell your landlord about the black mold in your daughter’s bedroom, nobody comes for four months. And then, when you’ve got to take her to the hospital for her asthma attack, you get a $3,000 bill for the ambulance. Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid. It costs more today than ever before in American history to fill up your truck, to stock your fridge, to power your home, to go to the doctor. Meanwhile, and you’ve seen it, the president and the first family line their pockets to the tune of billions of dollars. The time has come to wield the power granted to us by our Constitution and rebuke this obscenity.

Great to have Governor Christine Todd Whitman and Andrew Yang in town uplifting the Independent movement! The largest group of voters in this country are Independents! It’s time to get some of us elected.

The fact that Trump’s dwindling number of defenders think Obama making a joke about the Cheesecake Factory aesthetic is “elitist,” but that this statement is not, is a good window into why the Trump Administration is now the most unpopular in American history
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

What happened is Donald Trump and congressional Republicans made the biggest health care cuts in American history to lower Elon Musk’s taxes
Weird. I thought someone fixed health care. What happened?

Laser focused on the cost of living and SO TOUGH
To the anonymous clowns running to their “journalistic” friends in the media, planting stories to target people, departments, and agencies, all to angle for the next big job you’ve dreamed of: You’re a bunch of pathetic, self-absorbed, egotistical losers! It’s no surprise at all, as we know who some of you disloyal, power-hungry cowards are👀🤡Keep climbing—There’s a reason you’re still where you are!!! cc: @POTUS @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump

.@BarackObama elevates what we can aspire to as a country. Says: A muslim man and a Jewish woman. Fighting for you in the Senate. That’s something Michigan can be proud of!

Grateful to have Independent @BernieSanders in Eau Claire today. Our campaign is uniting people of all political stripes — Republicans, Democrats, Independents. People who are fed up with politics as usual and want something to believe in again, to provide stability in this chaotic environment. I’m going to work to rebuild an American dream we can actually grasp. The things we are hoping for — affordable, quality healthcare, strong public schools, being able to buy a forever home instead of being stuck in a forever rental cycle.

How long until the @WhiteHouse starts angrily defending their aesthetic spirit animal Sadaam Hussein
People who are mad about this are underestimating Cheesecake Factory patrons. Cheesecake Factory patrons LOVE a joke. We love jokes and enormous menus and that really good bread

NEW AD: Texans can't afford groceries or healthcare. Because the system has been rigged by billionaires and corrupt politicians like Ken Paxton. Texas needs a senator who will put money in your pocket — not money in their own.

The brown bread at the Cheesecake Factory is the most elite of all the breads.

The communist snowflakes at an outlet called @FoxNews disagree with you, Brit: "The conflict has given Iran a potent new form of leverage: the demonstrated ability to choke shipping through Hormuz and impose economic pain on the United States."
Because nothing says "stronger strategic position" like losing your navy and air force and having your vital shipping route blockaded and your economy in free fall.

.@BrianBengs to @JessicaTarlov on the Raging Moderates podcast: "I've talked to Trump supporters that are unhappy about the war - justifiably so...Yes, I'm asking for their vote to be not just a rubber stamp when things are going to harm you, as Mike Rounds is."

.@BarackObama: The Iran War "is the reason why the price of just about everything is up. Meanwhile, you've got the @SecWar, who's squarely focused...on important matters like the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops." "How much time do you think this Defense Secretary spends looking at himself in the mirror every morning?"
