Gas costs more right now. Why? Trump’s war. We’re making sure voters don’t forget it. That's why we're spending an additional $1 million on our billboards across Ohio, Michigan, and Iowa.

We are amplifying voices of the brave Americans speaking out against the Trump administration. https://linktr.ee/ofthebrave
@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social: "I think it's his dark vision of America is really driving most of this Trump regime's policies. It's really stunning how many thousands of lives that his hate has impacted, from here on American soil to the high seas of the Caribbean."
3x Trump voter voices his regret: "I voted for him three times and I can't... He ain't done what he said he's gonna do."
Trump: "They attacked the reflecting pool. They viciously attacked it, cutting it with probably box knives, knives or box knives, uh, box cutters." Fact-check: Expert findings show that the Reflecting Pool deterioration was the result of a botched installation job rather than vandalization.
Trump during his Columbus Day speech: "They wanted a great heliport, very important, because we land a lot of very big helicopters. Big, big, the biggest."
A new lawsuit has been filed opposing the construction of Trump's planned "egregious and unlawful proposed" arch at Memorial Circle. We partnered with @VoteVets and @TCLFdotORG to educate Americans about the controversy surrounding the arch and give a voice to the veterans, Gold Star families, hist
Trump on deserving the Nobel Peace Prize: "I settled eight wars, and I've stopped maybe the total obliteration of the world because Iran will never have a nuclear weapon." #Trump #Politics #NobelPeacePrize #Iran
Trump voter: "He gave us a lot of promises, especially in the trucking industry and the shipping industry with the tariffs and everything, bringing stuff back to America, lowering prices, make it more affordable for the economy, and we got the opposite. I believed him."
Trump on the costs of the Iran war: "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay." Millions of U.S. citizens, a "small price" in his war with Iran that is "essentially almost over with." #Trump #California #Iran
@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social: "Elon Musk knows damn well what's going on on X. He turned Twitter from a sort of centrist political platform into a right-wing sewer, and there's all sorts of evidence he did this intentionally."
This week on It's Happening Here, @davidpakman.bsky.social joins @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social to discuss how Elon Musk reshaped X, why lies and outrage dominate the platform, and what we can do to fight back. Out now on Apple, Spotify, Substack, and YouTube:
Is Elon Musk’s Outrage Machine Backfiring?
David Pakman joins Bill Kristol and Tom Joscelyn to discuss Elon Musk’s influence on X, why lies and outrage go viral, and how Democrats can fight back. Draw...

We talked to Truckers who are turning on Trump because of the war in Iran. "It's going to put us out of business for sure."
Sarah Matthews talks about our new video: "Everything we consume travels via truck. Truckers are on the front lines of the price increases that everyone across this country is experiencing…The price of diesel has skyrocketed over $6, and it's crushing them."
Sarah Matthews: "I don't recognize the party that I feel like I once belonged to. Donald Trump has remade the Republican party in his image…It seems like all of them, time and time again, just choose their loyalty to Trump over their loyalty to the American people."
Sarah Matthews: "Three-time Trump voters that I've talked to are saying enough is enough. He has broken nearly every campaign promise…Anytime voters are reminded of him, they think of the failed economy, his failed war of choice with Iran, and this failed presidency."
Donald Trump: "It was just announced we have the best economic numbers of any president in the history of our country…I give us an 'A+' on the government, on economics, on everything — look at inflation."
We tested Trump's AI against his own statements. We're not sure he would appreciate the results…
Q: "All of us were fucking really pro-Trump. But how do you feel now that things aren't panning out the way that we were told they would?" Rogan: "The no new wars thing is the one that fucked a lot of people. No one thought that we were gonna go into this prolonged war with Iran."
Q: "Have you changed your opinion on Trump?" Shawn Ryan: "Oh yeah, for a multitude of reasons. To put it plainly, I'm not really happy about anything that's happening right now. I think he's totally gone against what he said he was going to do."
End the war in Iran. Keep America's truckers on the road.
We're on day 214 of a war that Trump initially said would take "four to five weeks." So we teamed up with @votevets.org to document every time the president kicked this particular can down the road at AboutTwoWeeks.com.
1 month into the Iran war, Donald Trump said it would be over "in about two weeks." That was 182 days ago. That's why we partnered with VoteVets to build a calendar of every single time Trump said the war would be ending. Go to AboutTwoWeeks.com and see for yourself.
Trump voter: "I would call [Trump] a bald-faced liar. That's all I can say nicely. I've already retired from one company, and I went back to work to cover my insurance, gas, and the price of food that keeps going up…It really sucks."
Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.
Trump has said the Iran war is nearly over at least 60 times. "Maybe two weeks." "Literally by tomorrow." "We've already won." 212 days and $43B later, Home of the Brave partnered with @VoteVets to track every broken promise:
How long until the Iran War ends? “About two weeks.”
Donald Trump says it all the time. So we decided to fact-check.

Florida Trump Voter: "I should've voted differently. I feel hoodwinked." Q: "Why?" FL Trump voter: "Broken promises…[I expected] a good economy and no more wars. Simple."
Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledges that higher living costs are the result of Trump's war of choice in Iran: "The reason that costs are too high right now is directly related to the Strait of Hormuz and the unresolved conflict in Iran."
Trump: "We have the best — I guess you could say poverty…We have the best poverty numbers ever in the history of our country."
