Last night’s tragedy at LaGuardia Airport is a stark reminder: in moments of crisis, coordination across every level of government is essential to keeping New Yorkers safe. This morning, I met with @PANYNJ for a full briefing and joined our federal, state & local partners to thank first responders and update New Yorkers on the investigation. Tonight, we mourn those we lost and are wishing strength and a swift recovery to everyone injured.

Senior Iranian official confirms that the US has requested talks, but said that Tehran has not made any decisions yet about it. Recalls that the US has twice pretended to be negotiating and then attacked Iran.

INBOX: Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato says PIT airport does not need ICE agents, and never requested it. She says Trump's orders to have them help with TSA won't help the airport, and she says will just intimidate passengers.

This is so out of hand now

I agree. The Iranians are at risk of overreach. They are closing to achieving all their objectives. They have survived a joint all-out aerial attack by the US and Israel. They have pushed out US forces and made US bases in the region unusable. They have demonstrated the power of the Hormuz weapon — and held the world economy at gunpoint. They have demonstrated their capability to hold all gulf and Israeli assets and cities at risk. Has deterrence been restored? I think we’re getting close. Despite the low journalistic standards in the West, all serious people now understand that this has been a strategic defeat for the West. Escalating from here or dragging this out may be unwise. It would only force the US to commit ground forces, which will be a quagmire for the Americans, but would be considerably more devastating for Iran. The Iranians should try to secure what they can at the table. Security guarantees may not be forthcoming and are not something that can be extracted by Iranian threats. What they can insist on is money and arms. Sanctions relief from the US. Weapons supply from the other great powers. This will have to enough until Iran can achieve breakout, which they must now do at forced-pace and in total secrecy (see @NicoleGrajewski FA article on this point). The enrichment file may be the sticking point. It is really hard to see how Iran can now allow any kind of serious inspection regime. They must rush to get the bomb. And this is an important reason beyond the Hormuz weapon that the war will continue. The culminating point is hard to identify. But a good case can be made that this is it. If Trump is willing to eat this defeat then they should let him. Even if they agree to inspections, they can run rings around the inspectors or kick them out later.

Mullin then imitated his daughter Larra: “She’s like, ‘No, Daddy. No, Daddy, No, Daddy, No. I’m sorry, Daddy. I’m sorry, Daddy.’ …She just couldn’t bring herself to even bend over for me to be able to bust her butt.”

I really, really hesitate to call anything a false flag operation. It's a dangerous thing to do. But it seems that the text claiming responsibility actually did describe Palestine as the Land of Israel. No Muslim would do that, in Arabic or in English. I've been covering these types of movements for two decades. This never happens. Whoever wrote this statement was not a Muslim.

I told @FT that in any talks with US Iran will insist on its control of Strait of Hormuz., because the ability to close the strait would be a deterrence against another war and could provide revenue through tolls from ships passing through. ft.com/content/8c43c8…

cuban doctors told me they have to sew up patients mid surgery when the generators run out of gas but maga on here are too busy lying about the ppl that went out to cuba w aid to turn everything into a distractive spectacle. pure maga propaganda. you’re cattle if you fall for it.

Before you ask, yes, the I*raelis have actively bombed this place

Absolute bombshell. Krystal Ball reveals that the missile strike on Bahrain blamed on Iran was actually an American Tomahawk missile. The US and Israel are literally conducting false flag operations to drag the Gulf states and Europe into a massive regional war.

Trump used Truth Social to dramatically escalate the war on Saturday, only to do a complete 180 just before the stock market opened on Monday. Is this Trump being a master negotiator, market manipulation, or just an indication that the President has no idea what he is doing?

Anyone who thought creating the largest internal security force in the country, answering only to the president, was for anything else hasn’t been paying attention.

ICE is at airports today And will be at election voting sites on election day. The fight is right now. Democratic leadership is MIA.

Our latest piece in @ForeignPolicy argues that the #IranWar‌ is merely a high-tech conflict. It is, fundamentally, a geographic war. Despite overwhelming U.S.-Israeli superiority in airpower, intelligence, and precision strikes, Iran cannot be reduced to a target set. The deeper logic of the conflict lies in geography. Iran’s vast territory, rugged mountainous terrain (Zagros & Alborz), and deep #strategic_depth create structural constraints on invasion. Geography raises the price of victory. History also shows how these barriers absorb, slow, and exhaust invading forces. A ground invasion of Iran would dwarf Iraq or Afghanistan in scale, cost, and complexity. Geography alone raises the threshold of victory beyond what military superiority can easily deliver. At the same time, geography shapes the air war: Western and southern Iran remain more exposed, but the deeper one moves into the plateau, the harder it becomes to sustain high-tempo operations. Distance, terrain, and logistics degrade strike effectiveness. But the real shift is maritime. Iran’s greatest asymmetric leverage lies not in parity, but in position, especially along the Strait of #Hormuz Roughly %20 of global oil flows through a corridor only miles wide. Even the perception of disruption can shake global markets. Control here is not about domination; rather, it is about uncertainty. With a 1,500-mile coastline, layered capabilities (missiles, drones, mines), and proximity to chokepoints, Iran does not need full control. It only needs the ability to generate risk, and risk alone can reshape global energy flows. This is why the war is drifting toward a strategic stalemate centered on chokepoints rather than battlefields. Hormuz, and potentially Bab el-Mandeb, turn a regional war into a systemic economic shock. Geography converts local conflict into global disruption. The implication is profound: The decisive struggle may not occur in the skies, but in narrow waterways. The Iran war therefore highlights a deeper and broader lesson about modern conflict. In an era of artificial intelligence, cyberwarfare, satellites, and autonomous precision weapons, geography still exerts profound influence over the course of war. Mountains and terrain barriers limit the feasibility of invasion. Strategic maritime chokepoints amplify asymmetric leverage. Technology may shape how the war is fought, but geography will often shape how, and whether, it ends. And Iran’s real advantage is not firepower, it is Geography and Endurance. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/23/ira…

Pay attention as @danielsgoldman attempts to completely reinvent himself for this primary ✌️

Now I wanna see the NASDAQ block Congress from trading stocks related to committees they’re on!

She regrets her vote because it’s made her politically unpopular not because she’s hurt people

Put. All. Of. Them. In. Fucking. Prison.

ICE agents are patrolling LaGuardia Airport. The lines are still longer than usual.
