Retired engineer. Grateful for the American experiment in self-government and rule of law. Long may it last.

POTUS counts as "an official" and this war was predicated on his belief that the regime would fall relatively easily, which is why he brushed off warnings from Caine and others about Iran closing the Strait. Thank you for your attention to this matter. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

I have seen no American official state that one of the original goals was 'overthrowing the Iranian regime'. If you have, provide a "Ref. A:" with the specific person. What we do have from earlier this month is General Caine's statement that there were three goals. 1. Destroy missiles/drones 2. Destroy navy 3. Destroy military and industrial base

Never forget the fact that the president's chief advisor is constantly spewing objectively fascist rhetoric day after day. We shouldn't normalize this.
Stephen Miller@StephenM

Democrat Sanctuary Cities mass release criminal illegal aliens with the full knowledge that those they have freed will assault, rob, rape and murder Americans. It is form of physical and psychological warfare against the populace — the violent subjugation of the citizenry.

This is quite a story about the enormous losses Russian forces are suffering. I have read the full Russian-language report linked below (I am a native speaker), and can confirm it amply documents these conclusions (based on original Russian military docs provided by an officer who defected).
Mikhail Khodorkovsky@khodorkovsky_en

We already knew the Kremlin was sending men to die in Ukraine. But a new @dossier_center investigation based on leaked military records shows it's far worse than anyone imagined. For soldiers in front-line assault units, the odds of surviving the war are approaching zero. (Read on)

Everyone is fixating on the corruption of military insiders enriching themselves with the inside information they have. But that's not even close to the nightmare scenario. The real danger is military insiders *manipulating world events* to win Polymarket bets.
McKay Coppins@mckaycoppins

This story may “raise insider-trading concerns” broadly, but it likely won’t be cause for concern at Polymarket HQ. As I write in my recent gambling story, insider trading is a feature of these platforms, not a bug. theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

US’s new ‘brand ambassador’: A Hooters-loving, ‘Alpha Male’ Trump nominee Nick Adams, an Australian-American social media influencer, and “Trump’s favorite author” Elvis would be a much better choice and he’s been dead for 49 years. politi.co/4lYaO0b via @politico

If we already won the war in Iran as Trump claims why are we sending more soldiers to the region?

So were the rest of us. Thousands of troops headed to the region. Missiles still firing even as he claims we’ve destroyed them all. No clear rationale behind our proposals. This isn’t 4D chess or grand strategy. It’s stupid.
Dan Pfeiffer@danpfeiffer

From @politico: “Several people close to the White House said they were baffled by the president’s remarks.”

An off-the-rails presidency. A self-gelded Congress. An unsustainable fiscal path. These are national emergencies that a statute to "SAVE America" might address and might be worth the fighting for. Voting fraud is not anywhere near that class.

GOP Rep. Mary Franson says she's not worried about climate change because it's not in the Bible: "If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change." How can we expect Republicans to do serious work when they're so proud about ignoring science?

This war to eradicate Iran’s ability to threaten its neighbors and our allies . . . has resulted in Iran demonstrating its ability to threaten its neighbors and our allies, and its considerable leverage over the world’s energy markets. The Iranian regime is getting its tail kicked militarily but is showing it still has cards to play economically and geopolitically.

Is this to help distinguish USA beef from the 100,000 tons of Argentinian beef a Trump exec order prioritized with "preferential access" to the US market last month? cbsnews.com/news/trump-arg…
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47

The Trump Administration is launching a new national campaign to promote the "Product of USA" label — reserved exclusively for meat, poultry, and egg products derived from animals born, raised, harvested, and processed in the USA. productofusa.gov
