China is watching closely and might have already made its decision to move on Taiwan. If we cannot finish the job against the Islamic Republic, a third-rate aspirant power lacking a credible navy, air force, or integrated air defense, because we are unwilling to tolerate marginal and temporary increases in gas prices, then there is little reason to believe we could mount a sustained defense of Taiwan. If this trajectory persists, Taiwan is effectively lost already.

This is WILD. I spoke at the Yale Political Union last year on why we need to buy made in America products. Now, they are hosting a guy who said I should be killed. Yale receives billions from the federal government — President Trump and Congress need to IMMEDIATELY revoke it. An elite private university that hosts an antisemite who says a Senator should be killed, capitalists should be killed, and the U.S. deserved 9/11, shouldn’t get ONE CENT from taxpayers.

Leftists are impressed by Mamdani walking home but called Biden walking a picket line “performative” lmao.

So, what is the main reason why the Democratic Party remains unpopular despite the lunacy of this presidency?

The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait. Under UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (which Iran has not ratified) all ships & aircraft enjoy freedom of navigation & overflight. No state can suspend this right. Rights are not subject to negotiation & renegotiation.

i just want to clarify something and then i will move on from this for a while lol. i think some people are construing this tweet to mean that i am judging this lady for using the tech she’s criticizing (“you critique society and yet participate in it 🤔” lol.) that’s not what i’m getting at. i was making an observation about the way these fights are sometimes framed by people who really don’t like ai and discourage people from using it — data center opposition doesn’t neatly track with opposition to ai usage. most americans have misgivings about ai, but increasingly, americans are also using it. i think it’ll be similar to social media, which has high rates of adoption and distrust, and i think it’s critical to understand both realities.

My pet theory is that Dem voters are going to square the anti-semitism vs anti-current-Israeli-leadership circle by electing a Jewish guy who is vocally critical of Israel and Bibi. I’ll get tons of pushback on this right now. But let’s check in a year from now.

Abdul El-Sayed, who is Muslim, walks a fine line on the Jewish state. On Tuesday night, he told the crowd—as he does often—that his problem is not with Jews. “All of us love and revere Jewish folk, our Jewish neighbors, the faith of Judaism,” he said, hands outstretched. Later that night, in a makeshift spin room assembled by the campaign, he rebuffed my question on whether he believes in Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. “What do you mean by ‘Jewish state?’ ” he retorted, narrowing his eyes. “If you can’t answer that question, I’m not going to answer it.” For someone who often waves around his respect for Judaism, he seemed unaware of something elementary: Judaism is not only a religion, but a people with a long-standing connection to Israel that runs through its prayers, traditions, and history.
