Big day for Pulisic. He will get fouled often, harshly and early. I’m going with an goal by Angry Pulisic in the 37 minute to put us up 1-0 and we go on from there.

Iran hoped to would turn Gulf allies away from Washington. Today, UAE announced it would honor its $1.4 trillion investment in the U.S.—and purchase more air defense systems too.

@shipwreckedcrew You’re making my point. You take one statement, one piece of information and take a position that you’re right and everyone else is wrong.

@shipwreckedcrew Risk events are scoped so they can be scored. I could then say that risk event has the highest likelihood (imminent) and highest severity but the risk event itself, and its highest score, is still only 1 input into a broader decision with many other inputs.

Whether Iran was an “imminent threat” or not depends on … How you define “imminent” and How you define “threat.”

In this exclusive interview, Caputo shares a never-before-seen FBI subpoena and sweeping federal search warrant that targeted him during the Biden Administration. Caputo details the horrifying fallout of the secret Biden-era investigation over his Ukraine reporting and anti-weaponization policy work that stayed active even inside the Trump administration and the devastating toll it took on his family. @thelatmg @latimesstudios_ Straight to the Point: FBI’s Secret Targeting of Team Trump 00:35 Michael Caputo: Biden Era FBI ‘Surveilled’ Dozens of Trump Associates 01:28 Caputo Says He Was Targeted Over His Investigation Into Bidens and Anti-Weaponization Initiative 02:12 How Did the Biden-Era Investigation Continue Under AG Bondi? 03:10 Google Alert: FBI Subpoenaed His Records 04:29 Caputo Says He Was Working In Same DOJ Building As DOJ Investigation Targeting Him 06:00 August 2024 Susie Wiles Calls With Shocking News 06:40 Before Presidential Election, FBI Laid A Trap? 07:58 Federal Warrant Wanted Information About Caputo’s State of Mind 09:30 FBI Should Be Shattered: ‘Russia, Russia, Russia All Over Again’ 10:42 FBI File: Caputo Called A Radical Traditionalist Catholic (RTC) 11:30 Caputo 'Had To Go To The Highest Authority’ To Get Case Closed 12:44 Russia Gate Cost Caputo’s Family Everything 13:55 Threats To Caputo And Family 16:10 Accountability For RussiaGate 18:00 If Democrats Win Mid-Terms: Weaponization Will Increase 10x 19:50 Caputo: Task Force For Americans Who Were Harmed By Weaponization 20:50 Response to Critics Who Say Caputo Sees Conspiracies 21:43 Independent Journalism

@MsMelChen Liaw had resigned from Supermicro's Board and Executive team in 2018 based on a separate incident. The Company for some reason eventually brought him back.

The latest bust in America's endless whack-a-mole game against Chinese tech theft: Three insiders at Super Micro Computer (SMCI) - a key supplier of high-end AI servers loaded with restricted Nvidia chips - got nailed for scheming to illegally ship cutting-edge US AI tech straight to China, dodging export controls. The accused are: - Yih Shyan "Wally" Liaw (Co-founder) - Ruei-Twang "Steven" Chang - Ting-Wei "Willy" Sun They allegedly used fake documents, dummy servers, and convoluted transshipment tricks to hide that the real end destination was China They should face the full weight of the law to disincentivize anyone from planning sanctions-evasion schemes

@JenniferJJacobs @PalantirTech @VP Some serious heavy hitters.

Japan's Takaichi wished Barron Trump an early happy birthday tomorrow, saying he took after his parents and is “ikemen” or good-looking in Japanese slang. At the dinner: @PalantirTech's Alex Karp; @VP Vance, who clinked glasses with Foreign Minister Motegi; Google’s @SundarPichai; Miller Strategies' @JeffMillerCA2TX; SoftBank's Masayoshi Son @masason; @MorganStanley's Ted Pick; @Broadcom's Hock Tan; @MicronCEO Sanjay Mehrotra; Anduril's @PalmerLuckey; and several top admin officials.

Japan will gift another 250 cherry blossom trees to Washington, DC to celebrate America 250, @JPN_PMO Sanae Takaichi says at White House

Super Micro employees smuggled Nvidia chips to China, prosecutors say @CNBC cnbc.com/2026/03/19/us-…

(The remaining/surviving) members of the Iranian regime are as shameless as they are evil. Handwringing about “civilian” sites and infrastructure is insulting, coming from people who wantonly slaughter their own civilians in a vicious effort to cling to power.

@StockSavvyShay I think this clarifies why the company has been unable to hire a new CFO. The conondrum is they need one now more than ever.

U.S. prosecutors charge three individuals tied to $SMCI (including a co-founder) in an alleged scheme to smuggle $NVDA chips to China.

@byul_japan Complete misinformation bot.

$SMCI $NVDA 🚨 スーパーマイクロ、米当局が幹部によるNVIDIAチップの中国密輸で告発され株価急落

@sp_traderX On what basis would they be delisted?

$SMCI back in the eyes of regulators for questionable practices. Can’t Imagine they remain listed.

We have received signals from the U.S. side indicating readiness to continue working within the existing negotiation formats to bring an end to Russia’s war against Ukraine. There has been a pause in the talks, and it is time to resume them. We are doing everything to ensure that the negotiations are genuinely substantive.   The Ukrainian team – the political members of the negotiating group – is already on the way, and we expect a meeting this Saturday. Our priority is to do everything possible to create the conditions for a dignified peace.

@JABarn76 @GavinNewsom Voting for Matt Mahan the past 2 mayoral elections who has actually started to solve homelessness in San Jose and through my church that has multiple compassion outreach operations. How about we keep the focus on the Governor? If you think he has a great record let's hear it.

$200 BILLION IS ENOUGH TO: - Double the annual per‑person spending on K–12 education. - Expand the ACA tax credit for 7 years. - Provide up to 2 million people the SNAP benefits they need. - Provide a middle class tax break of $3,500. Instead, we will spend it on an illegal war. This is only the beginning. More money will be wasted. More lives will be lost.

@jaketapper What if China helps because of their dependency on the oil coming through the strait? Would they be considered an "ally"? What about the ME countries that to date have been tacitly supportive of the war effort? Perhaps for this situation, its a new set of "allies".

On allies and needs —

@kaitlancollins If Iran had pulled off a "Pearl Harbor" like attack on our bases in the Middle East, CNN would be out there every night telling us how "sources close to the WH" saw this coming. Seriously, he can't win with CNN because you just amplify everything you think he does wrong.

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

@jaketapper History should be learned so that it will not repeat itself. I'm not thrilled he said this next to the Japanese PM but after 10 years if you're still surprised about his style, get some help because he's not changing and he'll have many more moments like this one.

FWIW Prime Minister Takaichi was born 20 years after Pearl Harbor

@terenceflood @GavinNewsom Thank you. Source? Outcomes?
