@EricLDaugh I am pretty sure the Iranians know their system way better than this Orange clown whose been looking for an off ramp so he can declare victory for weeks. The Iranians just aren't buying it and giving him any of it.

🚨 IRAN’S CRUCIAL OIL WELLS ARE ABOUT TO GET SCREWED President Trump confirms it: As the blockade continues, Iran is now just DAYS AWAY from their oil hitting capacity, causing DAMAGE to their extraction facilities! “They say they only have about 3 days left before that happens.” “When you have lines of vast amounts of oil pouring through your system, if for any reason that line is closed because you can't continue to put it into containers or ships…that line explodes from within, both mechanically and in the earth, something happens where it just explodes.” “And when it explodes, you can never, regardless, you can never rebuild it the way it was.” “In other words, it will always be, if you rebuild it, it's hard to rebuild it all, but it would only be about 50% of what it is right now.” “So it's a very powerful thing that takes place, sort of having to do with nature.” “But when that gets clogged at the end, in other words, when you have to turn it off because you have no place to store this oil, either put it on ships or storage tanks, which they are just about finished with, a very bad thing is going to happen.” “So I think they're under pressure.” MAXIMUM LEVERAGE! 🔥 H/t @zerohedge

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/hea…

Here's the official statement announcing plans for a grand new White House ballroom last July. Not one word about the need for it due to security. Last night, the @POTUS & his acolytes immediately seized on the WHCA attack at to justify his dream project. whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

@sofiakinzinger because he said so & media could be targeted elsewhere without dozens of highly trained armed security guarding them

Why are we assuming the shooter was targeting the president? Consider the language that’s been repeated about the press: “Enemy of the people.” “Corrupt media.” “Activist journalists.” “Radical media.”

The president is playing checkers, not chess. He thought this was going to be Venezuela. Iran is not Venezuela. If we come out of this with a strategically stronger Iran, one that knows it can close the Strait at any time and cripple the world economy, it's a geopolitical failure of enormous proportions.

@RichardHaass Yes, because yet again America is misunderstanding its adversaries and fighting the war it wants to fight, not the war that it is fighting.

Iran has proven to be far more resourceful & resilient than Trump bargained for. Almost all his assumptions were wrong-which explains why the Strait is closed & talks are stalled. open.substack.com/pub/richardhaa…

Najam Ali@najam_ali·
Negotiations are happening in Pakistan. Let me put it bluntly: The U.S. is the eager party. Iran is the reluctant one. Once Washington realised this war could not deliver its objectives, negotiation became the only off-ramp. But here is the problem: Despite blockades and pressure, Iran is not negotiating from weakness. Hormuz has changed the equation. Its closure doesn’t just hurt Iran, it hits the entire world, including the U.S. Oil flows disrupted. Global markets stressed. The dollar-based system under pressure. This is not a local conflict anymore. It is systemic. Meanwhile, Iran’s asymmetric strategy has delivered a strategic advantage. The war was fought and shaped by the IRGC, and the power it has accumulated will not allow any soft settlement on U.S. terms. So escalation is not an option. A return to war would: raise costs for the U.S. weaken its negotiating position further risk a wider economic shock Which leaves only one path. A negotiated settlement. But not a quick one. Not on U.S. terms. This will take time.

Iran is the ONLY country that had the guts to tell the US and Israel to get lost. Iran is the ONLY country to stand up for Gaza and Lebanon. So I don't care what sect they are. I'd side with ANY country that had done the same. Why is this so hard for haters here to understand?

With the White House Correspondents Association declaring Donald Trump an “honoree” at tonight’s dinner, I declined an organization’s invitation to attend. The sane washing of Trump and his war on the press is dangerous. And the WHCA is an absolute disgrace. #WHCD

Republicans "won" the presidency twice this century by losing the popular vote. Those presidents appointed a majority of the Supreme Court. Dems are randomly denied two senators from DC. The modern Republican Party wouldn't exist without cheating.
Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok

Democrats won Virginia in 2024 by just 5 points They will now control almost every district The new map will likely give Republicans just one seat while Democrats get 10 Democrats can’t win without cheating This is “Democracy” or something

.@POTUS to Jim Acosta's girlfriend (@ElizLanders) when she asks one of the dumbest questions ever — if he'd use a nuclear weapon on Iran: "Why would a stupid question like that be asked?... No, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody."

Trump gave Iran the opportunity to close the Strait of Hormuz. He put them in a position of power. All of the consequences, including the economic ones, are uniquely his fault.

@SenMarkKelly He apparently has a better understanding than you do. Smallpox and flu have very little in common when it comes to variance. Risks versus rewards.

George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” wapo.st/4dZY8UL

If Kash Patel wants to keep partying, he can do it somewhere else. But first he must resign from the FBI immediately. He's not a serious person. He does not have the skills for the job. He does not have sound judgment to lead the Bureau. This is what happens when Trump nominates members of his fan club instead of qualified law enforcement professionals.

Pete Hegseth is no longer requiring flu vaccines for troops. Another thing to add to the looooooong list of decisions @SecWar has taken that put our servicemembers at unnecessary risk. The flu vaccine requirement is gone from the DoD — I think Pete Hegseth should follow suit.
NBC News@NBCNews

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says that the U.S. military will no longer require all American troops to get the flu vaccine, citing “medical autonomy” and religious freedom. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
