No one has rested assured since this regime first took office. And no, there is no plan in Iran. That's damn clear.
Tweet by Aaron Rupar quoting Karoline Leavitt saying “Rest assured, there is a plan.” The image shows Leavitt speaking to reporters outside the White House with a news banner about Iran and nuclear weapons.

Trump and his friends are in political trouble. Their response? Make it harder for you to vote and disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans. Trump said it out loud: If they pass the SAVE Act, Republicans will "never lose a race for 50 years.” Vote NO.

The Trump regime is creating supply crises with fuel and fertilizer in the Persian Gulf and now labor shortages in trucking. When food prices spike higher, we know exactly who is to blame.
Tweet from The Washington Post reporting that about 200,000 immigrant truckers may lose their commercial driver’s licenses under a new Trump administration rule, potentially straining the supply chain. The image shows the interior of a decorated truck cab with tassels and ornaments hanging from the windshield, looking out at a white semi-truck on the road.
