The Iranian Embassy in South Africa weighs in:

It cannot be ruled out that this is a threat to use a nuclear weapon against Iran

BREAKING: Trump skipped all three scheduled Easter masses he was meant to attend today. Something is wrong with the president and the White House is keeping it from us.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. "If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said. I asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.

BREAKING: Multiple luxury and sports cars smashed during botched heist attempt at a parking garage on West 43rd Street in Manhattan. NYPD’s 10th Precinct responded this morning (approx. 5-7 a.m.) to reports of several high-value vehicles damaged in what appears to be a failed grand larceny operation.

@Less_HumbleTeej 👊🏽

60 minute peloton ride today. All endurance too. Pray for me

@mr_notblah_ #wealthtweet

Headed to Augusta Tuesday 😊😊

Trump described to me on Air Force One on January 10, 2019 a way to casually crucify migrants on the border wall. He’s not Christian. He’s inhuman. His threat today on Easter to bomb Iranian civilians is consistent with his character.

No President has ever debased this country like Trump. Not a one.

Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2

@AllenJBTx Agreed

@CanopyLife2 Smart idea to have something to share but 45 dollars you might as well buy a couple normal ones lol

Sheeeed…not for $45.

You can celebrate the rescue of our airman and be grateful for the people who carried it out while also opposing the war. Those things aren’t in conflict. Honoring courage doesn’t require endorsing the decisions that put people in harm’s way.

I’ve driven on roads in Thailand, Mexico, Italy, even Florida. The menace that Maryland drivers pose is truly unique

@9802MonGar Same except with a book.

I’m awake😒 Latte and podcast time.

If you’re lost behind enemy lines, we will move heaven and earth to try and bring you home alive. If we can’t do that, we’ll move heaven and earth to bring you home anyway. That’s the promise, and it’s non-negotiable. I’ve been worried about the WSO all day. Glad he’s safe.

Kristen Clarke did not leave the Justice Department quietly. She left, took the general counsel position at the NAACP, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday in March, and then sat down to explain precisely what was done. The cases her division spent years building — carefully constructed voting rights enforcement actions — were "withdrawn from the courts, dismissed without basis, without any justification offered to the public." No explanation. No legal rationale offered. Gone. She documented what replaced the people who built those cases: "reckless, sloppy work." Missing filing deadlines. Typos in court filings. An official who accidentally revealed a federal civil rights probe in a social media post. "Its ranks are now being filled by people who are inexperienced, who don't know what they're doing, who've never enforced federal laws before." The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department is the unit that enforced the Voting Rights Act, pursued discriminatory redistricting, and brought cases against jurisdictions that systematically blocked minority voters. Clarke calls it "nothing more than a shadow of its former self." She is now general counsel at the organization that will litigate against the department she built. The person who wrote those cases is now the person who will try to bring them back in court. That is not a footnote. That is the next chapter.

As a former Marine embassy guard who served during the era of the Benghazi discourse, it is remarkable to me how little discussion there is that the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia got hit by a missile and had multiple floors (including the CIA station) destroyed & lit on fire.
