Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

@HollyCakes222 @MeghanMcCain @TheRightMelissa I am genuinely interested in what you think it takes you to be qualified to be Mayor of LA? Did the current Mayor have your qualifications? Thanks for a thoughtful return message.

@MeghanMcCain @TheRightMelissa I love what he's doing in calling out the unbelievable corruption in California at the hands of Gavin Newsom and every other corrupt politician there. However, he is in no way qualified to be the mayor of Los Angeles. Maybe in the future, but not now. And I love what he's doing.

@USCJ32 Agree 💯Life isn’t about what you achieve, it’s about what you overcome. Success isn’t linear. Lots of ups and downs.

Well. It’s a biking….thing! Facts do matter. 1) how many of our Mid East incursions have been as a result of self defense or had a UN Security Council resolution? Answer: ZERO 2) how many had approval from Congress? Here are the ones that had NO approval, Lebanon (1982-1984), Libya (1986), Persian Gulf (1987-1988), Iraq (1991), Ongoing operations against ISIS (2014-present), Syria (2014-present), Yemen (2015- present). The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires the president to notify Congress of military actions within 48 hours and limits the duration of such actions to 60 days. It sounds to me like the first was checked, while second box TBD. 3) Trump redrawing from the Iran Nuclear Deal was NOT the catalyst behind Iran’s increase in enriched Uranium. In 2002, information about secret nuclear facilities, including the Natanz enrichment site, was revealed. 2006-2007 the Natanz site enriched to about 3.5%. 2010 they enriched higher quantities to 20% which is much closer to weapons grade. 2015 (brokered by the Obama Administration) Iran agreed to limit its enrichment levels and reduce its stockpile in exchange for sanctions relief and in June 2016 the Obama administration reached a settlement with Iran that totaled 1.7B including interest. Now what do you think Iran did with 1.7B dollars? They were able to put enriched nuclear material on steroids. 2020-2021 they enriched to 60%. They went nuts during the Biden administration (in which they received more $!) and this is what the new administration inherited. I don’t care whether the president is Colonel Sanders…Iran’s Supreme Leader and IRGC never were and are not ever going to be “straight up” in negotiations. They have needed to be dealt with since 1979. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

@MJ3556619476583 @EricLDaugh You are so wrong and arrogant!! It wasn’t an illegal war. It preempted a serious situation in which Iran could reach all European capitols with ballistic missiles. Now what if those war heads were atomic? Do your homework before spouting off nonsense.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just ended the Cabinet meeting with a VERY bad warning for useless American "allies" "I've done a great favor for the world. The world has not been, it has not been reciprocal because when I told NATO where we give billions and billions of dollars, trillions over the years, I said, do you mind coming up and giving us a little hand with the Straits, send up some, they didn't want to get involved!" "And I believe that's going to cost them dearly. Thank you very much everybody." Trump never forgets.

@serrephim1 @glennbeck Do your homework! The price of oil (whether Brent or West Texas Intermediate) is set by the global market. Yes, we DO have plenty. The US is a net exporter.

Fucking Finally. The Lion of Mar-a-Lago has roared with that signature, unfiltered lethality, and the message slices through the European delusion like a Tomahawk through a command bunker: the age of American subsidy for your parasitic cowardice is fucking over. To the sniveling, jet-fuel-starved cock-suckers of the United Kingdom and its spineless continental cohorts...listen the fuck up. For eighty years we have bled treasure, blood, and industrial supremacy to underwrite your decadent existence. From the Marshall Plan’s reconstruction of your war-ravaged empires to the carrier battle groups that have patrolled the Persian Gulf since the Tanker War of the 1980s, America has been your unpaid mercenary, your nuclear umbrella, your global logistics backbone. NATO? Nothing more than the North American Tribute Organization...where the United States shoulders over sixty-five percent of the alliance’s actual spending while your militaries have atrophied into hollow parade-ground husks, underfunded, undermanned, and equipped with yesterday’s gear because you chose cradle-to-grave welfare states and green virtue-signaling over steel and resolve. Geopolitically, the Strait of Hormuz is no academic footnote: it is the jugular vein of the world economy, funneling twenty-one percent of global petroleum liquids...nineteen million barrels a day...through a narrow chokepoint that asymmetric Iranian tactics...mines, anti-ship missiles, speedboat swarms...were designed to threaten precisely because they knew direct confrontation with American naval power was suicide. We and our Israeli partners have done the hard kinetic work...the precision decapitation of their leadership structure. The heavy lifting is finished. Now these same European freeloaders, who lacked the spine to commit forces when it mattered, dare complain about disrupted sea lanes? Decades of Pax Americana have bred in you a terminal strategic infantilism: a learned helplessness wrapped in smug moral superiority. You lecture the world on the “rules-based order” while outsourcing your survival to American sons and daughters. History is merciless on this point...from the Suez Crisis of 1956, when your imperial twilight exposed the limits of European power projection without U.S. backing, to the present. Your elites are psychologically castrated by comfort; your populations softened by entitlement. You forgot that freedom of navigation is not a birthright...it is enforced by gun, steel, and the will to use them. President Trump’s directive is surgical in its venomous precision: Number One, buy the fucking fuel from us...we have plenty. Number Two, grow some long-overdue balls, reconstitute what remains of your navies, sail into the Strait, and TAKE IT. No more American taxpayers dying to keep your fighters in the sky and your economies from freezing in the dark while you backstab and virtue-signal. The parasite has fed on the host long enough. The era of the United States as Europe’s security guard, banker, and scapegoat is closed. Fight for your own oil or learn to live without it. Adapt or wither. The choice is yours, but the protection racket is finished. Grow a fucking spine or don't. We don't give a fuck anymore. 💀🗡️⚖️

@KungFuChickenX @EricLDaugh Are you kidding me? Trump’s decision to strike now was smart. Iran proved they had missiles that could reach all European capitals. Who had the brass balls to take on this problem? If the US didn’t intervene now, it wouldn’t be long before Iran had accumulated way more leverage.

@EricLDaugh NATO is alliance of countries to help eachother if one in the alliance is attacked. Not a alliance of pawns to be used as cannon fodder if one decides to start a war.

@SRSharma1022085 @EricLDaugh Not begging, it’s called grow some balls to get involved in an area that you are dependent on. The US is not dependent on the Mid East Oil or gas. We are a net exporter! Get your facts straight before shooting off your mouth.

@carlitosway0512 @EricLDaugh You know NOTHING about oil and gas (including LNG) and it’s apparent. Stick to your strengths. Our energy supply is we are a net exporter. We don’t rely on any of this product coming out of the Middle East. Read up and educate yourself!

@MatthewSkrzypc1 @EricLDaugh So much of what you say is just parroting others. Iran has been a major thorn in the US’s side since 1979. It was NOT a war of choice. Iran, as it turns out could reach Diego Garcia, which puts their ballistic missiles within range of most European capitals. Not a war of choice.

He started a war of choice without consulting a single one of those allies, told them in January that we have never needed NATO and we have never really asked anything of them, said as recently as two weeks before the war started that we do not need people when asked about British support, threatened to invade Greenland which belongs to a NATO ally, called NATO countries cowards, and spent years slapping tariffs on every allied nation while flirting with pulling out of the alliance entirely. Now that Iran has choked off the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices are up 40 percent he is furious that the countries he insulted, threatened, and explicitly told he did not need are not rushing to clean up a mess they had no say in creating. Germany’s spokesperson put it perfectly when he reminded everyone that the US and Israel did not consult allies before the war and explicitly stated at the start that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired. This is not allies betraying America, this is the entirely predictable consequence of telling everyone to go to hell and then wondering why nobody picks up when you call.

@Skibbles70 I am not sure what you mean when you say “brakes.” Planes have flaps and pilot can pitch trim to slow down speed. Can also throttle down. But, very happy everyone was ok and pilot dud a helluva job. Glad you and everyone else is safe.
