@RealDanODowd Think most people would take it off self drive mode here

In case you were wondering why Tesla self-driving is so dangerous, this guy is a senior member of the team developing it. He claims he has no idea how to handle approaching a road that's completely obfuscated by smoke. Hint: the answer is to slow down and proceed with caution, which this Tesla didn't.

@SecRubio The irony

China’s decision to detain or otherwise impede Panama-flagged vessels engaged in lawful trade destabilizes supply chains, raises costs, and erodes confidence in the global trading system. The United States stands with Panama against any retaliatory actions against its sovereignty and will always support our partners in the face of bullying. state.gov/releases/offic…

@3ExpressoShots @chrismartenson Must not have read the post, it addressed LNG

@chrismartenson A dishonest post. You only showed the first part of the table. Taken together, the US is a net EXPORTER. Don't tell me LNG is not part of the energy market. eia.gov/petroleum/supp…

There's a lot of confusion out there, including with Trump, that the US has lots of oil to sell to the world. We do not. We're a net importer of crude (~+3 Mb/d). The EIA reports that fact in great detail every week. The confusion stems from using the term "petroleum exports" which includes the bodacious amounts of natural gas liquids (NGL) that come from our wet gas plays. That stuff isn't "oil" and it is exported because it's wildly overproduced compared to our needs. Yes, the US is a net exporter of "petroleum," but it's also a net IMPORTER of crude oil. In other words, the US has none to sell. There's more complexity to why we export 3M b/d of crude (it's the wrong kind for our refineries) and also import 6.4 M b/d of crude (which is the right kind).

@Ostrov_A Just as Israel is raining bombs on them, on a holiday

🚨 It’s just relentless! On eve of Passover, one of the holiest periods of the Jewish calendar, Iran is raining down missiles - with cluster munitions - on Israel.

@AIPAC @AOC Pay for it yourself Israel

Singling out defensive aid for Israel? So @AOC supports stopping terrorists, but it depends on who they’re trying to kill? jewishinsider.com/2026/04/alexan…

@ericadamsfornyc They can buy their own weapons?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just committed to voting to strip civilians in Israel of protection from rocket attacks. This is not a vote against the government of Israel, or Netanyahu. This is collective punishment against ten million civilians, Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Voting against defensive systems isn’t progressive. It isn’t pro-human rights. It’s indefensible. There is no moral justification for leaving civilians exposed to deadly rockets aimed at them.

@WhiteHouse Where are receipts

Clear objectives since day one.

@dbongino Who are you venting to? 99.999% of people on X have zero respect for you and see massie as one of the few genuine American-first politicians in this govt

Tom Massie is a grifter and a fraud who turned down a series of briefings on sensitive matters in order to rage post about them on X. He can’t deny these simple facts, he can only try to distract you. Massie is now bragging about an army of bots and his “ratios.” He’s a buffoon. Massie is a stain on this country and an embarrassment to his constituents. Thanks, and have a good morning. @RepThomasMassie

@dbongino The irony

@RepJoshG @AOC Follow the law which states we can not provide military assistance to countries that are committing genocide?

I’m confused. Defensive military aid stops rockets aimed at innocent children and families. So, why oppose it? We provide defensive military aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kenya, etc. @AOC Should we cut all of them off? Or is that your policy just for the Jews?

@RepJoshG @AOC Other countries aren’t currently engaged in war/genocide in 6 different countries, which they are actively talking about conquering while displacing local populations en masse

@dbongino You are the 2nd biggest joke in the country (behind your boss)

Tom Massie enjoys being ignorant about issues he bloviates about on X. It’s how he avoids having to actually do anything. Thanks, have a great evening.

@shanaka86 Panama got something like this right

Buried in Iran’s five-point counterproposal to Trump’s 15-point peace plan is the single most consequential sentence of the entire war. Iran’s fifth ceasefire condition, via Press TV citing a senior political-security official: “Iran’s exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is and will remain Iran’s natural and legal right, and it constitutes a guarantee for the implementation of the other party’s commitments, and must be recognized.” Read that again slowly. Iran is not asking for sanctions relief. It is not asking for reconstruction funds. It is demanding that the international community formally recognize Iranian sovereignty over the waterway through which one-fifth of the world’s oil, one-fifth of its LNG, and one-third of its helium must transit. If any version of this condition survives into a ceasefire, the IRGC toll regime at Hormuz becomes permanent. Not as an ad hoc wartime measure. As an internationally recognized sovereign right. Iran’s parliament is already drafting the legislation. MP Mohammadreza Rezaei Kouchi told Iranian media: “We provide its security, and it is natural that ships and oil tankers should pay such fees.” The bill is in the Civil Affairs Committee. Bloomberg reported it could be finalized within a week. Iran has signed but never ratified UNCLOS. Its 1993 domestic law requires prior authorization for warships and hazardous cargo transiting the strait. Some legal scholars characterize Iran as a “persistent objector” to the transit passage regime. The US maintains transit passage is customary international law. The legal question is unresolved. The physical question is not: Iran controls the northern shore and is enforcing a selective corridor at the point of a gun. GCC Secretary General al-Budaiwi called it “an aggression and a violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” on March 26. He is correct on the law. He may be irrelevant on the outcome. The Suez precedent: Nasser nationalized in 1956. Reopened under Egyptian control in 1957. Excluded British pounds and French francs from the toll. The Suez Canal Authority has collected tolls in its chosen currencies for nearly seven decades. Crisis lasted months. Architecture lasted forever. Trump’s energy strike deadline is April 6. If the toll survives the war, the dollar loses its first chokepoint. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS Funny until oil goes to $200. Then who is laughing

.@POTUS: "We're negotiating now, and it would be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump—I mean Hormuz. Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Such a terrible mistake." 🤣

@dannydanon Gaza?

During a Security Council session, I sounded a siren with a 15-second timer and asked the ambassadors to imagine the reality in Israel: "Imagine you have 3 children and 15 seconds to run to a shelter. Which child do you take first?"

@SenTomCotton Weird.. why haven’t we done that yet?

We’ve long known Iran has the ability to temporarily close the Strait of Hormuz. But we have the ability to reopen it—and to reopen it permanently.

@LauraLoomer @RTErdogan What about Netanyahu publically offering $7500 per publically

SCOOP: CIA source tells me the CIA has hard evidence that Turkey, and more specifically the Erdogan @RTErdogan administration, has specifically directed spending for podcasters to undermine the Trump administration’s Middle East agenda. The CIA has evidence of this Turkish funding going to at least one female podcaster and at least one male podcaster. Turkey is the largest financier of the Muslim Brotherhood.

@SenTedCruz Doesnt look like either are working now, nor have they ever worked for us in the past

In the next 6 months, we could see new governments in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba. If we end up with governments in those countries that want to be friends with America, that’d be the biggest geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

@RepJoshG Who’s the unserious one? Everyone with a brain knows this was Israel led. Israel is a country. Criticizing a country is acceptable and not antisemitism.

Joe Kent resigning and immediately pivoting to blaming Israel for everything is as predictable as it is unserious. Scapegoating Israel isn’t just a tired antisemitic trope – it’s anti-American. This is a guy with ties to white supremacists and has “PANZER” tattooed on his arm, referring to a Nazi tank infamously used in crimes against Jews. Kent's reduction of Iran to “Israel’s fault” isn’t leadership, it’s bigoted deflection.
