"We should be clear, though, we have had military success," said Stephen Hayes. "Military success in the short term, which I think we've had a lot ... I think the real question is what now? What comes next?"

@steveinskeep.bsky.social: "They're extremely powerful, but a couple thousand Marines is not very many in the context of a country like Iran. ... The president is clearly comfortable escalating in a way that entails greater risk for Iran, but also greater risk for the United States and the world."

[President Trump] went and said help is on the way to the Iranian protesters. Time after time over the last, mostly over the last 10 days or so, he has been encouraging the Iranian protesters, and at the same time the Ayatollah has come out and … called him a tyrant,” said @jonathankarl.bsky.social.

"We could learn a lot more after Trump is done being president now, because the precedent has been set," said @andrewdesiderio.bsky.social. "The precedent has now been set that a former president can be compelled to testify before a congressional committee, right? Bill Clinton did that today."

"With Kash Patel, though we should be clear, there’s not exactly been a vociferous defense from the president for the FBI director, but he also still has his job, despite questions about his job performance, including those raised within the ranks of the FBI," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.

The state of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire remains fragile. President Donald Trump said Monday that the latest Iranian proposal was a "piece of garbage," and the ceasefire is "unbelievably weak" and on "life support."

“If you are in a situation where you’re trying to support protesters, you need to know what it is you’re trying to do. Regime change? Trying to promote democracy? Trying to just stop the killing? And we never heard that from this White House,” said @sangernyt.bsky.social.

"Nineteen minutes long, that address was from the White House. It really was basically a 19-minute-long Truth Social post instead of a meaningful strategy for why [Trump has] taken such a consequential decision that has plunged the global economy into turmoil," said @sbg1.bsky.social.

"Donald Trump has been very clear that he wants to keep the blockade. He thinks the blockade is working. I think there are reasons to surmise that the blockade is having some effect. It seems to be putting pressure on the Iranians in power right now," said Stephen Hayes.

Around 2,500 U.S. Marines and the amphibious warship USS Tripoli have been deployed to the Middle East as the war with Iran continues. The deployment is a part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, which specializes in rapidly responding to crises and conducting amphibious landings.

Sean Hannity claimed Trump's recent feud with the Pope is the reason he's leaving the Catholic Church. He publicly declared he was no longer Catholic in 2019. He also said the Pope's reading of the Bible wasn't accurate. Hannity's David vs. Goliath example was awkward at best.

"What's been so striking is how many of those very same Republicans who were calling for the release of the files, had promised to get to the bottom of them, are now saying things that are just the opposite," said Stephen Hayes.
