@ELuttwak "defend even major interests" I am majorly interested in less involvement in the Middle East.

The USA has joined the ranks of the world's post-heroic countries that cannot tolerate even a few casualties to defend even major interests. 82nd troops & Marines in place w ample air support to cut risks did not occupy the Gulf islands to keep the seaways open. WH said no

Against all the evidence, the United Arab Emirates still pretends that it isn't sending arms and mercenaries to the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan as they commit genocide. trib.al/i2SeANf

Every time I suggest equality under the law as the right principle for Israel-Palestine, many of my fellow Jews tell me it's dangerously unrealistic, that I don't understand the region etc. It's exactly what I heard from white South Africans as a kid. But I rarely heard a Black South African during apartheid say that legal equality was unrealistic, or would produce more violence, just as I rarely hear that from Palestinians today.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-elon-…

@trouble_man90 Are you unaware that men vote more republican and women more democrat? Female: Platner +13 (52-39)

Why is Platner losing men by 10 points? I thought…

@speechboy71 Female: Platner +13 (52-39)

Collins +6 with non-college grads Platner +11 with college grads …

@annamlulis He's not the captain and didn't even play the second half.

Team USA captain Christian Pulisic led America to win 4-1 in the World Cup opener. He is a devout Christian, holds Bible studies with teammates, and openly credits God for carrying him through difficult times Christianity produces excellence. ✝️

@MattWallace888 @GoUncensored @USMNT They gave us the freedom to not put our hand on our heart during the national anthem and the freedom for you to be a snowflake and whine about that freedom.

@GoUncensored @USMNT My grandfather got a Purple Heart fighting for this country! He was grazed in the back by a bullet during WW2. Many of his buddies didn't make it that day! Least you can do is put your hand over your heart while enjoying the freedom they gave us! God bless America 🙏🏻

Notice how, unlike the NBA, all of the Team USA soccer players have their hands over their hearts for the national anthem! This isn’t about black or white. This is about the NBA being full of ungrateful bitches who hate the country!

@MTJakeEaton @FrankLuntz Imagine being ignorant about fossil fuel subsidies.

@FrankLuntz It’s almost like the left has spent decades trying to make end coal power and subsidize solar

Last month, solar power generated 12.8% of electricity in the U.S. while coal was responsible for 12.2%. It’s the first time in history that solar accounted for more energy than coal. 🔋 abcnews.com/US/solar-gener…

@MyFauciballs @FrankLuntz @philthatremains That's an indictment on America for being inferior to China.

@FrankLuntz @philthatremains All them solar panels sure made China a lot of money

@lolajl @RoKhanna @BernieSanders He actually has a very high net worth, hundreds of millions. He also calls himself a progressive capitalist.

@RoKhanna @BernieSanders Jealous that you're not smart enough to create your own wealth, eh? Once a communist, always a communist.

Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. @BernieSanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him. In one year, it could fund: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

Trump has now used the Situation Room to coordinate the Epstein cover-up. To Trump, the real national security emergencies are planning illegal wars and covering up the evidence of his longtime involvement with the Epstein network.

Cardinal Zuppi read the names of every child who passed away in Gaza. It took him 7 hours.

@ZaidJilani @StephenM Playing a game only foreigners care about. It really makes you think.

@WhiteHouse Add it to the crimes against humanity list

“At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸

@OrwellTruth1984 One of the greatest war criminals of all time, that's for sure.

Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the greatest leaders in history. Share if you agree. 🇮🇱

@jconricus Probably feel betrayed because we blew up bridges, school, and water infrastructure

I’m pretty sure the Iranian people in general feel betrayed by the US for this looming deal with their oppressors. They’re not alone: Israelis, Emiratis , Lebanese and Bahrainis, to name a few, probably share the sentiment. Not a good look for the leader of the free world.

@melissadderosa I don't think this lands quite like you think it lands

When an out-of-state senator comes to Brooklyn to help DSA-backed candidates defeat incumbent Democrats—steps from the home turf of the Senate and House Democratic leaders—it’s not a local fight. It’s a declaration that the socialist wing intends to take over the Democratic Party

Two days later, the mainstream media (NYT, etc.) has decided to cover Israel’s massive new West Bank land grab that I wrote about on Wednesday. To get the full story, check out the link in quote-tweet.

🚨🇨🇺 BREAKING: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel unveiled a sweeping set of economic reforms Friday, casting them as Cuba’s path through the crisis driven by a “criminal energy blockade” by the United States that has left the island nearly without fuel. Only 1 oil tanker has reached Cuba in the past 5 months, Díaz-Canel said, a collapse that traces to January, when the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and cut the flow of Venezuelan oil, then threatened tariffs on any country that supplied Cuba. Havana now endures blackouts of up to 15 hours a day. Among the most devastating consequences of the U.S. policy is that the Cuban government has been forced to postpone tens of thousands of surgeries for its citizens. The Cuban President today named national defense as the first priority, citing preparations under Cuba’s “Whole People’s War” doctrine. The full 2026 reform program includes: 🔹Enterprise & Markets 🔸 Overhaul the economic management system, easing the conflict between central planning and incentives for production 🔸 Grant state enterprises autonomy to set their own wages, dimensions, clients, and suppliers, use their profits freely, and enter the currency market directly 🔸 Loosen rules on non-state businesses, narrowing banned activities and widening shareholding 🔸 Fast-track approval of stalled private and state MSMEs (mipymes) 🔹 Decentralization & the State 🔸 Expand municipal autonomy, letting provinces import, export, attract foreign investment, and manage hard-currency income on their own 🔸 Restructure and shrink the state, cutting ministries and posts via a public draft law to reduce bureaucracy 🔹 Trade & Investment 🔸 Make foreign trade more dynamic, dropping mandatory intermediaries and favoring importers of raw materials over finished goods 🔸 Incentivize foreign direct investment, plus a new role for Cuban-diaspora and resident-Cuban investors as economic actors 🔹 Agriculture & Food 🔸 Reform land use, giving land to those who will farm it, cutting idle plots, and opening input and currency markets to producers across all sectors 🔸 Pursue food self-sufficiency by streamlining bureaucracy for agricultural production 🔹 Fiscal, Monetary & Social 🔸 Shift fiscal policy so the budget no longer finances state-enterprise inefficiency 🔸 Redesign monetary policy and the foreign-exchange market, and strengthen the banking system 🔸 Reform wages in the budget sector and move from subsidizing products to subsidizing people 🔹 Energy & Transport 🔸 Expand renewable energy and electric mobility, including local EV assembly, to cut dependence on imported fuel 🔸 Ease vehicle import limits, favoring solar-charged electric vehicles 🔹 Tourism, Commerce & Labor 🔸 Revive tourism through new operators beyond the big foreign chains that have pulled out 🔸 Modernize domestic commerce with electronic invoicing and digital platforms 🔸 Protect young skilled workers with better pay and incentives to curb emigration
