The U.S. military conflict with Iran is dominating every front — six American soldiers are dead, the economy shed 92,000 jobs in February, and Congress is split over whether the president has the legal authority to continue fighting without a formal war vote. Meanwhile, a government shutdown looms as senators deadlock over a DHS funding bill that includes $26 billion in disaster relief and $10 billion for immigration enforcement, and the administration is reshaping hemispheric security through a 17-nation military coalition targeting drug cartels.

What politicians are saying across X, Bluesky, and Truth Social
We just concluded a very good meeting with the largest U.S. Defense Manufacturing Companies where we discussed Production and Production Schedules. They have agreed to quadruple Production of the “Exquisite Class” Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity. Expansion began three months prior to the meeting, and Plants and Production of many of these Weapons are already under way. We have a virtually unlimited supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we are using, as an example, in Iran, and recently used in Venezuela. Regardless, however, we have also increased Orders at these levels. The Companies represented were the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The meeting concluded with another meeting scheduled in two months. States all over the Country are bidding for these new Plants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

If true, this shows a widening war that Donald Trump is already losing control of. And how is Trump responding? By providing sanctions relief to help Russia’s oil sector because this White House failed to prepare for rising oil prices from his reckless war. Time and time again, Trump prioritizes helping Putin over reducing costs for Americans. It’s the opposite of what he campaigned on and what the American people are asking for.
