Trump’s “victory timeline” claims. Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait" Mar 22: "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran." Mar 24: "We’re making progress." Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.” Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away." Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO." Mar 28: No major quote Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences." Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing" Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon." Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen." Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences. Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." 😂

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on January 6. Undisputed evidence, and I just said, President Trump pardoned all of them. You said that President Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for law enforcement officers being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters. We just saw that."

President Trump shared this polling on Latin American approval ratings for the operation in Venezuela to capture Maduro. Not very familiar with this pollster - but interesting split in Mexico. Personally, I've had quite a few Mexicans tell me they're happy to see Maduro go.

Now that we are into renaming cultural icons, like Trump-Kennedy Center, isn’t it time to call the Metropolitan Opera Trump-Met? Echoes Club Med and honours a native New Yorker.

Unlike Admiral Bradley, Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned and refused to go along with Pete Hegseth's illegal orders. RETWEET to thank Admiral Holsey for standing up for the Constitution!

“There’s a man with a file over there, telling you, ya gotta beware”

THIS IS FU*KING DISGUSTING ‼️

#Opinion | After years of boasting about his good relations with Putin, Trump is admitting he misjudged the Russian leader and has no influence on making an end to the war in Ukraine. Is it the belated end of an illusion? @BerndDebusmann writes wionews.com/opinions/trump…

@EastEndJoe This is relatively cheap. In much of DC regular is at 3.80 and change. Nowhere in the country appears to be gasoline at 1.95, as the dear leader keeps insisting.

So, never.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has fired the nation’s Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden. She is the first African American and woman to hold this office and has modernized access to the federal library for rural America. RETWEET if you stand with Dr. Hayden against Donald Trump!

BOOM: Recently resurfaced video of JD Vance calling trump a noxious fraud who doesn't care about folks, and he "can't stomach trump." It's clear that JD Vance has no values or strong convictions on anything. Fucking feckless phony. twitter.com/resist_vanessa…

Tomorrow will mark three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A day that will forever live in infamy. Today we’re hoisting the Ukrainian flag at our headquarters. It is flying high and proud at the heart of Europe. Where it belongs.

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelenskyy 🇺🇦

BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Republican Senator Thom Tillis breaks away harshly from Trump's policy on Ukraine, calling Vladimir Putin "a cancer, and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime." Make sure everyone sees this.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did J6

More MAGA voter regret. She woke the f up HARD. Spread this, everywhere, PLEASE! #LeavingMAGA
