@FurkanGozukara Everybody knows the only thing Trump cares about is the oil.

A retired US Battalion Commander reveals the absolute panic inside the Pentagon. He confirms the entire American military apparatus in the Middle East has halted all operations to desperately search for the downed F-15 pilots behind enemy lines.

@DrGregLittle2 Great! We knew little about the history of mounds when I worked there 1979 to 2006. Your postings are very enlightening.

@drousma I taught at LSU-Shreveport in a special substance abuse certification program from around 1992-97.

The oldest (currently known) Native American mound in the US is dated to 9,000 BC and is on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

@DrGregLittle2 Yes! In the 1980s. There were no barriers around the mounds at the time. After the death the the Landscape Architecture Dept was tasked with creating the brick walls you see in photos.

@drousma Were you there when the student was killed by a car that ran over the mounds?

@LorraineEvanoff Trump was probably expecting the judges would heap praise on him the same way his sycophants do in the Oval Office.

"Trump likes to hurt people, especially dark-skinned people, and he was bitterly disappointed that he wasn’t going to get to hurt any dark-skinned people in that courtroom. But Trump’s top lawyer, US Solicitor General John Saur, was struggling under questioning from skeptical justices and Trump just couldn’t watch. With his scratchy, unpleasant voice, Saur sounded like a bad movie’s idea of the voice of Satan. But his poorly reasoned arguments met with pushback from the likes of Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Chief Justice John Roberts. When the final decision is handed down in June, it was looking like Trump would lose by a vote of 7 to 2, maybe 8 to 1. No sitting president in American history has ever attended Supreme Court arguments. Trump’s attendance raised critical questions by some people. What those people didn’t know was Trump was there specifically to intimidate the conservative judges he appointed into finding favourably for him. It looked to Trump like it wasn’t working, and it served as another reminder that Trump was losing control of everything." Meanwhile, inside Trump’s head open.substack.com/pub/rharringto…

@BulwarkOnline Good riddance

Bondi, Bovino, Lewandowski and Noem. They served. They lied. They flailed. And now they’re political roadkill. An in memoriam for those we've lost in Trump 2.0.

@ColMoeDavis Maybe Trump is planning to have US Military at voting booths. With instructions to shoot.

I assume that firing the Army’s most senior officer in the midst of a war and authorizing off-duty GIs to run around base with handguns is Hegseth’s attempt to illustrate for the public the old military acronyms SNAFU and FUBAR.

@traceyh415 Had the shingles vaccine. No problems.

Anyone get the shingles vaccine? I keep putting it off but I feel like it is time.

@3YearLetterman One-word assessment of your team - Loser

My one-word assessment of the Final Four fanbases Arizona - Stupid Michigan - Unattractive UConn - Obese Illinois - Poor

@MaMoMVPY This is the war you expect from someone who went bankrupt 6 times.

So it appears that the US Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George, has apparently been fired. One must fear that the general has contradicted Hegseth, and that Hegseth wants someone who follows orders - even when those orders are war crimes. And yes, I am afraid I cannot help but think that Trump is not capable of ending this without looking like a complete loser, and that he will therefore simply make it more and more extreme. One can only imagine where that might lead.

@harrylitman Everything Trump touches turns to shit. Especially lawyers. Super especially women lawyers.

Bondi out. Which of Bondi's many missteps was the final straw for Trump? Was it the failed reprisal prosecutions, the botched release of the Epstein files, or her handling of the Jack Smith docs? ow.ly/sySy50YCwCt

@mmpadellan Everything Trump touches turns to shit. Especially lawyers.

FYI -- Pam Bondi may be out, but her temporary replacement, Todd Blanche, isn't much better. He's the guy who got convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell her cushy deal. In fact, NOBODY trump has is any good. They are ALL rotten.

@nieto_phillip This is National Inquirer type stuff.

NEW: Trump told Pam Bondi shortly before his Iran speech on Wednesday night that she would soon be fired. Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI’s efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with Christine Fang. My latest with @spccohen for a @Daily_MailUS dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@Katelyn_Caralle @EmmColt Chaos continues.

SCOOP: Pam Bondi is OUT as Attorney General. Sourcing confirms to me and @EmmColt that the AG met with Trump at the White House before his Iran speech Wednesday night. They say Bondi already flew back to her home in Florida.

@JamesSurowiecki He may have developed the 2 weeks schtick when selling condos. "You'll have the marble countertops in 2 weeks!"

It is amazing that whenever you ask Trump when something is going to happen, his automatic response is, "In two weeks." When he was asked last year when he would make a decision about bombing Iran, he said "I will make my decision whether or not to go in two weeks." Asked whether Putin wanted to end the war in Ukraine, Trump said, "I'll let you know in two weeks." Asked about drug tariff rates, he said he'd decide "in the next two weeks." Talking about when he'd send our trading partners their tariff rates, he said, "in about a week and a half, two weeks." And this goes back to his first term. In 2017, he promised he'd unveil his tax plan "over the next two or three weeks." He said he'd be rolling out his infrastructure plan "in the next two or three weeks." And in 2020, he said he'd be signing a new healthcare plan to replace Obamacare "within two weeks." Now it's the war in Iran that'll be over within two weeks.

@cturnbull1968 James Carville....Louisiana Lighting.

This would not surprise me. He’ll blame it on his health and will be enthusiastically supported by what’s left of his White House staff.

@davidfrum Trump is an isolationist. He hates other countries and cultures.

Trump hears that European airlines are canceling flights ... that South Koreans are urgently conserving fuel ... and thinks, "What losers." But these losers have money that oil producers will take, including US oil producers. When world prices rise, Americans pay more too.

Trump is being undone because he can't wrap his mind around the hard fact: America may have its own oil, but it cannot have its own oil price. Latest in @theatlantic theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

@hugolowell @guardian Let's replace Trump with Alfred E. Newman. Big improvement!

SCOOP: Trump has been asking cabinet officials in recent weeks whether he should replace Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, venting frustration about her leadership and that she shielded Joe Kent, a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran @guardian theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…
