Any Iranians thinking what the U.S. and Israel are doing is better than the status quo should ask U.S. Palestinians how withholding their last vote has worked out for Palestinians.

@jtalboy @RepDonBeyer @Gman512 Uneducated: the cash returned Iran's, and there was an oversight function that only released money to pay for specific items like medical supplies

@RepDonBeyer @Gman512 He is allowing them to sell their own oil. Not at all like Obamas pallets of cash.

Just 3 days ago Trump was awfully concerned about the “pallets of cash” sent to Iran a decade ago, but is now going to give them nearly 10x that amount in the middle of a war. Clown show doesn’t begin to describe it.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent
Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

Under the Fourth Amendment, the use of pepper spray by ICE counts as use of force. According to Graham v. Connor (490 U.S. 386, 1989), such force is only lawful if it meets the standard of reasonableness:
• There must be an immediate threat to the safety of officers or others.
• The person must be actively resisting or attempting to flee detention.
• The force used must be proportional to the threat posed.
We asked PAXIS.app to review a recent video involving ICE use of pepper spray. Based on U.S. constitutional standards and community legal protocols, if these criteria weren't clearly met, the action may violate federal civil rights law.
If you've witnessed or experienced unlawful use of force:
• Get to safety.
• Document the event.
• Contact a civil rights attorney.
• File a complaint: dhs.gov/crcl

@TheMaineWonk Why do people keep saying ~$20 billion when they asked for $200B?
They spent a lot more than ~$20 billion...and that's ON TOP OF THE $1T THEY WERE GIVEN FOR A YEAR.

@McFaul I think what he's really trying to do is pass the buck.
English
What military assets do we need from NATO allies to reopen the Strait of Hormuz? I thought we had the largest, most effective navy in the world? Or is this all just political? Trump needs the symbolism of allied support for his war? Genuine questions. Post answers.
English
@VizierPrime @McFaul Should have thought of that before he ran out of weapons and plan.
English
It’s not just about extra ships.
In chokepoint operations, allies often provide something more political than kinetic:
shared ownership,
broader legitimacy,
burden distribution,
and a less unilateral escalation signature.
Sometimes the missing asset is not force.
It’s coalition cover.
English
@McFaul He's too chicken to send ships into no-man's land (the Strait and the Gulf). He's like the leader of an old West outlaws, who started a gun fight he couldn't win, and then points to the junior guy and says, "go out there".
English
@McFaul Then why US needs to be part of NATO at all, if it’s a one sided help?

@AlexLDeLuca What's their known body count? It's at least 3 Americans. No one knows how many non-Americans but probably in the hundreds given the hundreds of thousands disappeared and put in the for-profit concentration camps.

A year ago this week, Ruben Ray Martinez, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Texas. But it was not until this past February, 11 months after the shooting, that ICE confirmed its involvement. It's now become the first publicly known instance of ICE fatally shooting a U.S. citizen as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. While the Department of Homeland Security says Martinez intentionally rammed his vehicle into an agent, recently released body cam footage — which shows shots being fired into Martinez's vehicle — calls that narrative into question. And one year later, Martinez's family is still searching for answers. @GeoffRBennett spoke with Ruben Martinez's mother, Rachel Reyes, and her attorney, Charles Stam.

@RepBoebert Doesn't matter what the law is, this administration is doing what it wants, and Republicans like Boebert, Mace, and Massie are going along with it all just like the rest of the Republicans.

How can so many Americans possibly support this regime? You oppose a regime-change war against them even as they do this?

The Pentagon spent ten times what you quoted, as per its request for extra money today ($200b).
That's the LOW ESTIMATE, as they already had a $1T budget to work with. Potentially we've spent up to $1.2T on Trump's military escapades since the BBB came out...
Just pissing away money

Hegseth is correct: it's terrible when a government driven by a radical ideology invests in weapons instead of its people.
The Trump Administration spent $12 Billion to bomb Iran, and
The Pentagon asked for a supplemental *$200 Billion* for the Iran regime change war.
Remember, 20 million Americans saw their health care premiums double because Trump didn’t want to spend $30 billion.
Acyn@Acyn
Hegseth: Iran is an energy rich country. instead, like so many other places, driven by a radical ideology, instead of investing in their people… they invested in missiles, and they invested in launchers and UAVS.

@allenanalysis Turns out the number is $200 billion, not $20 billion.

Tucker Carlson asked the question tonight that should have been asked before the first bomb dropped.
“Was Iran about to get a nuclear weapon?”
Joe Kent — Trump’s own Director of the National Counterterrorism Center:
“No. They’ve had a religious ruling against nuclear weapons since 2004. We had no intelligence that ruling was being disobeyed.”
No nuclear program.
No intelligence of a threat.
A religious ruling against it since 2004.
Hegseth told his 13-year-old son: “They died for you so your generation doesn’t have to deal with a nuclear Iran.”
There was no nuclear Iran.
Kent confirmed it.
Warner confirmed it.
Murphy confirmed it from a classified briefing.
Kent resigned over it.
14 Americans dead.
$21 billion spent.
An F-35 hit for the first time in history.
175 schoolgirls killed.
Zero allied warships.
Pearl Harbor invoked to Japan’s face.
And the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center just said on camera:
We had no intelligence justifying this war.
None.
Never stop connecting the dots.

In a few minutes Democrats will be giving Republicans a FIFTH chance to pay TSA workers. Will they finally fund TSA or once again object?

Pretty wild that Trump just appointed JD Vance as a Fraud Czar to go after scammers right after he pardoned his 35th different wealthy crony convicted of fraud so far during this term with many more to come.

ICE is denying due process
ICE is incentivized for illegal arrests
ICE is attacking, detaining and killing citizens
ICE is building mass detention centers that go beyond the need of deporting immigrants
ICE is building a mass surveillance system to track citizens
Abolish ICE
