It's absolutely absurd that the American military can literally set up an entire military command post behind enemy lines just to rescue 1 pilot...
...but the GOP in Congress cannot muster a single ounce of courage whatsoever to pass the SAVE Act
Tells you all you need to know.

How many self confessed ‘allies’
With their rainbow lanyards, pronoun badges and Pride March Insta photos,
Will truly stand up and speak out against this horrific homophobia?

@k6lcsclint @Milajoy We killed 140+ American school children? Holy shit! This should be on the front page of every newspaper.

@SenWarren Why don’t you guys eliminate fraud before asking for more money?

Relevant context: Twitter was basically the reverse of this for a decade and a half.
Actually worse: President Trump and many others were outright banned under that era’s oppressive censorship policies.
e.g., You could be banned for saying totally true things about the trans issue — here and across most other social media platforms.
Elon’s acquisition of Twitter could be framed as the single highest ROI ($ —> influence) political gambit of the post-COVID era.
But it may not be that calculated. Elon seems pretty genuinely into free speech. In many ways, what Nate Silver is showing here is just how badly left wing views hold up to scrutiny among literate people once the censorship and legacy prestige credentialing games are lifted

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Donald Trump has shamed America.
Americans regret that they chose this foul-mouthed Trump as their President instead of the brilliant Kamala Harris.
Right?

This is embarrassing, Delete it, President @realDonaldTrump - unless you want everyone to think you’ve lost your marbles.

@_TheWhiteLion__ @CynicalPublius What if I told you there are millions on the right who aren’t brainwashed MAGA cultists, as you say? Can the left say the same? No, they’re too far gone.
English
At a fundamental level, there’s no difference between the MAGA cultists and the Leftist scum
The leftist lunatics have gone off the deep end with their open borders/communist/Islamist/transgender ideologies.
Whereas MAGA are brainwashed cocksuckers who would gladly let Trump fuck their moms/wives, and somehow defend that as a good thing. It doesn’t matter that Trump has betrayed them on every single issue he promised before the election.
Both of these brainwashed cults are a disease and a cancer to this earth.

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.”
At the same time, I felt a deep envy.
Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses.
In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak.
The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference.
One side risks everything to save their own.
The other sacrifices their own to stay in power.
This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

@MilesTaylorUSA Your war is no longer against the Iranian regime, but against the Iranian people, Mr President.

Yes. He’s pledging war crimes. It’s time for the 25th.
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Anyone who claims asylum and then travels back to the country they supposedly fled should be instantly and permanently disqualified. If the country is safe enough for a holiday, it is safe enough to stay in. It’s almost unbelievable that this even has to be said.
Simon Hankinson@WatchfulWaiter1
These cases illustrate how utterly shot the US asylum process is. These were children of regime leaders claiming to be oppressed by that same regime - and going back for visits. Yet they got asylum, LPR, and damn near citizenship.

@JamieMetzl Successful in what?
Killing more schoolchildren?
Bombing more residential buildings?
Committing more war crimes?
Which particular aspect do your funders tell you to like Jamie?

I am a Democrat and a lifelong human rights advocate. I very much hope America is as successful as possible in our war with Iran and that the Iranian regime will be neutered. I fully support our troops. Any Americans who think otherwise should be condemned.

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@EthanLevins2 The US won't tell the truth about the actual number of casualties. They will try to save face 😂

$200M destroyed while rescuing a single pilot.
They are hiding the U.S. casualties

@DrewPavlou 40 years old ..wtf are you talking about ? This aircraft is 10-15 years old ....
English
Checking in on “Le Dying Empire” meme:
The US lost one 40 year old fighter jet over the course of 12,000 combat sorties then immediately rescued the pilot in hostile territory - while simultaneously sending astronauts to the moon.
Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@DrewPavlou
Australia’s public broadcaster continues to wishcast US defeat in Iran. The loss of one 40 year old airframe over the course of TWELVE THOUSAND (12,000) combat sorties is taken as conclusive evidence of US DEFEAT This type of left wing agitprop disguised as “journalism” is absolutely poisonous to the future of the Western world because it’s designed to completely paralyse us and make it utterly impossible to conduct foreign policy. Seriously, if you can’t even risk losing 1 jet per 12,000 sorties, you may as well abolish the US Air Force and dissolve yourself as a nation. Which is ultimately what leftists like John Lyons want.

Bless him. It’s just tiring. When people ask me what it’s like to be deaf when I’ve worked hard to accomplish something, it’s hard not to turn on them. It’s hard to not say, are you so narrow minded or indoctrinated that this trait is all you see? We are whole human beings. Not just an identity politics trend. And it’s flat out bigoted to reduce us to one trait.
RedWave Press@RedWavePress
NASA pilot Victor Glover CLAPS back after being asked what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon: “It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.” “I also HOPE we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day, this is just—and listen to this—that this is the human history.”
