@Knesix For what it’s worth JD Vance, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio all hated Trump and made many public statements of how bad he would be for the party. They only “changed” so they could get their power positions

Trump just posted a 485-word SAVAGE Truth Social rant calling Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones stupid, low IQ nut jobs with third-rate podcasts, and the wildest part is that he's underselling it. Tucker Carlson privately texted that he "hated Trump passionately" during the first term -> then stood at the 2024 RNC and said God personally intervened to save Trump's life -> then went to Moscow to compliment Putin's subway tiles while artillery was hitting Ukrainian neighborhoods -> and is now doing a 43-minute podcast suggesting Trump might be the antichrist. What. The. Fuck. Tucker is literally a guy spinning a roulette wheel every morning to decide who he is today, what he stands for, and what are his principles. "Those are my principles, if you don't like them... well, I have others!" Groucho Marx would be proud! Megyn Kelly spent fourteen years at Fox News cheerleading the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, admitted on her own show that she peddled government lies to millions of people, and is now positioning herself as the voice of anti-war moral clarity. She also said Monday that Trump could drop a NUCLEAR WEAPON and she'd still vote Republican. So she's calling the war genocide while pre-committing to vote for the genocider. IMHO The 'cognitive dissonance' entry in Wokipedia should have a photo of Megyn. Candace Owens got married at Trump Winery, built her brand through Trump's movement, promoted blood libel conspiracy theories, got fired from the Daily Wire for antisemitism, and is now calling the man who made her career a "satanic mad king." Her opposition to the Iran war is just her existing antisemitic framework wearing a foreign policy hat. Alex Jones, who owes $1.4 billion for calling dead children crisis actors, is now the moral authority on civilian casualties. He and AOC are using the same talking points. A O FUCKING C. The simulation is broken. These four had the easiest job in media during the MAGA honeymoon. The moment things got hard, the moment the President had to make the hard and ugly decisions, they folded. They were never on our side.

@RedWavePress Alienating and dividing the GOP is a disaster for the midterms and future elections. They are losing the support of independents and the base alone is not enough to win elections. Problem is they’ve tied themselves to Trump and MAGA and it’s going to backfire

Scott Jennings on MAGA voices opposing the Iran War: “I mean, we're treating Alex Jones like a credible voice here? We're treating Tucker Carlson like a credible voice here?” 
“OK, so let's just say you're right, and some people listen to them. Who do you think they'd listen to more? Those people? Or President Donald Trump?” 
“I know what the polling says, and I know what my instincts tell me, is that Donald Trump runs the party, he runs the country. Not the podcasters. They're welcome to have opinions, and I don't begrudge anybody having an opinion. And you could have a different opinion than Donald Trump.” 
“But I know who has more influence over the Republican Party and the conservative movement, and there's no doubt about it, and there has never been any doubt about it, really all that much for the last 10 years. So, their opinions are fine. But the person in charge right now, was in charge, is in charge, and will be in charge, until he leaves office.” CNN’s John King: “Mike Cernovich, another MAGA influencer, one of the most popular on X, tweeted today, ‘Trump ran on idealism, good people trusted him, they feel deeply betrayed. I hear it every day.’” Scott Jennings: “You can't deny that Donald Trump has always been a hawk on Iran. He's always said he would never permit them to get a nuclear weapon, and he's taking those actions to prevent that right now.”

@GrahamAllen Does MAGA not get old of his act? Anyone who has a dissenting opinion is low IQ and a loser and no one gives them attention - except for the 1000 word post on how they get no attention. If you have to tell everyone how great you are it's probably furthest from the truth

IT FINALLY HAS HAPPENED—PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS JUST WENT AFTER TUCKER CARLSON, CANDACE OWENS, MEGYN KELLY, AND ALEX JONES!!!!

@FoxNews The Justice Department is too busy with the personal vendettas of the President like going after the NFL for anti trust violations. Anything to distract from the actual crimes committed by Epstein's accomplices

BREAKING: First Lady Melania Trump fires back at "smears" and "baseless lies" attempting to link her to Jeffrey Epstein. "I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell." "The false smears about me from mean spirited and politically motivated individuals and entities looking to cause damage to my good name, to gain financially and climb politically, must stop." "Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone." Listen to her full statement below.

@3DogFriends @nypost He can't and he won't. Might want to look at congressional approval to leave NATO

@nypost Trump can and should leave NATO.

NATO boss rips Europe for 'unhealthy co-dependence' on US, acknowledges Trump is 'dissapointed' trib.al/NPNkr7J

@10degBTDC @Osinttechnical So create an argument that has nothing to do with the point? Can we admit that both cost the taxpayer instead of the whataboutism?

@Sportsguy1973 @Osinttechnical Somalis in Minneapolis get more money for their learing centers.

On its way back to base, the US Navy MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance drone that had been patrolling the Strait of Hormuz took a turn towards Iran, squawked code 7700 (general emergency), and started descending, falling off ADS-B as it dropped under 10k feet.

@10degBTDC @Osinttechnical Yes we can just buy another off Amazon for $99 so no big loss 🤡. Surveillance drones are not designed to be disposable unless you don't mind increased taxes to restock our military loses

@Osinttechnical OMG! A DRONE, slow and without defense, is missing. It’s a drone for a reason

@AliRoland @NoLieWithBTC 9 regional offices that operate from coast to coast. Not every forest is located in the west so how is this more efficient. It will just mean staff shortages and lack of resources where they are needed most.

@NoLieWithBTC Aren’t they just moving their headquarters from DC to Salt Lake City to centralize power in the west where most forest management is? This means closing 9 offices and research centers.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

@Pete2Shawn @NoLieWithBTC You have to be a bot because this is a profoundly dumb take. All the land managed is closest to Utah? Forests exist from coast to coast and some of the biggest ones have the least amount of resources

@NoLieWithBTC Relocating headquarters to Utah to be closer to the land they manage and “expect a lot more focus on the individual forests and a lot less bureaucracy.” Per Deputy Sec Vaden THIS IS A GOOD THING

@ClastonB Uh did you listen to the evangelical secretary of defense give praise to god for guiding our troops in battle? Seems like this might violate separation of church and state. But I’m sure god loves the destruction of other countries that aren’t Christian

The Pope is out of line, and what he’s doing doesn’t align with Scripture—but that’s been the Church of Rome’s pattern for centuries. That’s exactly why our founders were wise to create this Republic with clear separation of powers. I warned that selecting an American-born Pope would create problems. Rome still believes it can dictate to governments and refuses to respect that the Church and the state occupy entirely different jurisdictions

@Tommy_Torkelson @lockianna @ESPNInsights Yeah might want to look at his plus minus rating

@lockianna @ESPNInsights That's how =/- works….. Player X gets 30 & 10 on his end, but allows 22 & 17. Player X had a negative impact on his team's rebounding, and depending on the results of those rebounds snagged by the matchup, points allowed that wouldn't be—had they been a better rebounder.

Nikola Jokic is on the verge of something the NBA has never seen 👀 With 3 games left, he leads the league in BOTH rebounds and assists per game 🤯 No player in NBA history has ever led both categories… even across different seasons.

@Swaggzeez1 @ShaykhSulaiman Of course he did because he's spineless and a puppet for power. He also stated his hatred for Trump before he was elected president so he's willing to say whatever to keep his position.

@ShaykhSulaiman Vance just denied that.

JUST IN: PAKISTAN SAYS U.S. CEASEFIRE INCLUDED LEBANON

@atrupar The great real estate negotiators will achieve peace 🤡

Leavitt announces that Trump is "dispatching his negotiating team led by the vice president, JD Vance, special envoy Witkoff, and Mr. Kushner to Islamabad for talks this weekend"

@abbasnasir59 @ElizLanders Surprised by legitimate questions? You call yourself a journalist and wouldn’t ask about current happenings around the ceasefire?

@ElizLanders Was quite surprised by the questions. Had to read your bio to realise you were PBS. Little wonder.

A few minutes after the Pentagon briefing wrapped I spoke with President Trump briefly to ask about the latest with Iran:

@ViperFergy @Polymarket Well as long as Israel keeps bombing Iran won’t honor the ceasefire. Israel doesn’t want this peace they want to be the only power in the region so good luck getting anything to hold

@Polymarket That ceasefire didn't last long. Never trust Iran.

BREAKING: Oil tankers passing through the Hormuz Strait are now reportedly being stopped by Iran.

@MDJD2 @jonkarl I'll take things that won't happen for $1000. Iran will never trust the US and will still rely on Russia and China for weapons and intelligence. Iran has leverage in negotiations with the Strait and they will never give that up

@jonkarl The tolls will be collected in US dollars. Iranian oil will be sold in US dollars. Huge boost to petrodollar. This brings Iran to Western table which over the long term away from Russia/China. And US will jointly control the Strait. Not a Trump fan but this long term is a win.

This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.” “It’s a beautiful thing”

@BrilynHollyhand Caved? I guess keeping the strait, charging a tool, and keeping uranium is caving now. Goal post keep moving.

So now that Iran just caved and agreed to not only open the Strait of Hormuz, but also agreed to a double sided ceasefire, I assume all of those attacking President Trump will admit they were wrong, right?

@Xisntfeespeech @SecRubio @BrandieWithABee A ceasefire is not peace and Israel didn’t agree to it. Plus we gained nothing and Iran still controls the strait and their uranium. Also he didn’t write that social post. Someone more level headed did

@SecRubio @BrandieWithABee It’s funny the left is crying all day he’s gonna nuke Iran then he delays due to possible peace and you all say he’s chicken. Democrats are mental

@Acyn So besides spending hundreds of billions of dollars to destroy some military targets what did we win? The still control the strait and their uranium. Pretty easy to rebuild militarily with their oil money.

Ingraham: Tonight’s news is bad news for Democrats. They thought they had Trump in a box but the last laugh will be on them.

@atrupar He didn’t write this. Plus admitting you basically agreed to Iran’s plan is not like him. Still I doubt anything gets resolved that benefits the US in two weeks. Iran controls the Strait and still has the same power structure. Military will be rebuilt

Trump: “I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for two weeks”
