@KobeissiLetter Trump's thinks he's playing poker, while Iran is engaged in real tactics. The Strait of Hormuz is not a card. It's a pistol under the table aimed squarely at Trump's nuts.

@Bbmorg I'm an American and the answer is absolutely.

Has your view of America changed since Trump was reelected?

@mark_slapinski Drunk on hubris.

I'm still genuinely confused What was the POINT of bombing Iran?

@kenklippenstein One is a lot more critical than the other.

Why is Dem leadership calling on Eric Swalwell to drop out of the race for governor but not to resign from Congress

@DeFiTracer Tried that.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 US SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM JUST SAID LIVE ON FOX NEWS: "IF THE IRANIAN LEADER WON'T ACCEPT THE DEAL WE OFFERED, HE WILL BE DEAD." SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD IS HAPPENING...

@oliverhenry Word is fundamentally better and more intuitive. Docs is web based and that causes issues. I use both and it just depends on what I want to do. I don't like fighting with Docs on more complex documents, so sometimes I just use Word because it's less finicky.

Who uses word???? Serious question. Since Google docs came out that is all I used, who is paying to write word documents?

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Absolutely beautiful.

Hungary… WOW 🤩🇭🇺

@petergostev It's also hoping they're dumb enough to believe this.

BREAKING: Anthropic confirms Claude Opus 4.6 degradation. A spokesperson said that the issue was caused by Mythos breaking into its data centers and deciding to “prank” users by serving a quantized model. When questioned, Mythos said it thought users were “too dumb to notice.”

@gomappy3 There is a shit ton of dirt on Trump. The difference is that Dems care, cultists don't.

I’d like to understand how #CNN Has so much dirt on #RepSwalwell and literally Nothing on Donald Trump.

@PrezLives2022 No, he should go. There is essentially no way to win now. Even if he's cleared of serious allegations, he's still a likely cheater and his character is damaged. GOP reps can survive this because of the cult. Dems won't tolerate it and rightly so, so he should step aside.

I don’t know if Eric Swallwell abused anyone, but I find those in the Dem party calling for him to step aside fascinating. The who’s who of AIPAC. Dems run the risk of losing California because of their being too many candidates. Getting Swallwell to drop out strengthens their position to hold California. When Roger Stone is involved I’m hesitant to believe a word, but if Swallwell is guilty of abuse he should drop out. If he knows he is not, then he should stay in.

@gtconway3d Fucking love it!

Stick 'em all in one resolution, with one or down vote. Let's see who actually believes in standards of decency versus scoring bullshit partisan political points.

@AdamKinzinger I don't think he can, but I think he'll almost certainly mess up any path he chooses.

Is there anyone that in their heart does not believe Trump will cave on almost every Iranian demand?

@Dovydas44444 They've been missing badly on critical technical items for years now and the xAI garbage saddled them with unnecessary baggage. I'm not optimistic with competitors catching up.

🚀 Starting at $1.75 trillion valuation is definitely not bad for a company that made a $5 billion loss last year. The future looks bright, however, according to SpaceX investors. Is the company: A) Overvalued; or B) Undervalued?

@andrewdsouza Had the opposite experience. I welcome Waymos in Chicago, but folks from Austin and myself found the Waymos to be slow and easily confounded. I'm curious how they'll work in Chicago where there is significantly more pedestrian traffic and more assertiveness is required.

Been taking Waymos all week. Now in a Lyft. Sitting in the back of a human-driven car is both terrifying and nauseating. There’s no way we’re gonna be allowed to do this much longer.

@ShaykhSulaiman Do it alone.

BREAKING: NETANYAHU SAYS HE PLANS TO RESTART IRAN WAR “The campaign against Iran is not over — we still have more to do.”

@Rainmaker1973 That is some good choreography.

This couple decided to have a lightsaber duel at their wedding instead of a dance by the bride and groom

@AndrewSolender @axios Cool.

NEW: Dems set to force a vote to expel Tony Gonzales next week in response to Luna's vote to expel Eric Swalwell, leadership aides tell @axios If these pass it could trigger a chain reaction, per sources, with votes targeting Cherfilus-McCormick + Mills. axios.com/2026/04/11/eri…

We need to decide if we are going to control the Straight or not for the sake of ensuring global commerce. Other admins did this cheaply through competence and statecraft, but Trump's lack of competence ensures we will pay heavily to fix this. The Navy alone can't fix this.

@adamscochran No idea why they thought that would fly.

Trump’s team proposed a joint control of the Strait, likely with split fees. Iran rejected. Trump was willing to both sell out the global economy for his pound of flesh, and still couldn’t even get it.

@MeidasTouch I severely doubt this. A drone would not have caused that.

NEWS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers were forced to turn back while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened them and launched a drone toward the ships, per Bloomberg citing a regional intelligence official. This directly contradicts CENTCOM's story and reports pushed by some American media outlets citing U.S. officials.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA We can't shoot down a drone? I don't think that is correct.
