On it

The US delegation, in Pakistan, has just announced that they have failed to reach an agreement with Iran after a marathon session of negotiations. Our team is enroute back home. "They have chosen not to accept our terms," VP Vance stated.

@EricLDaugh I love that Dan Bongino is there as well.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump just WALKED OUT to an electric UFC 327 crowd in Miami — and Sec. MARCO RUBIO is with him tonight! The man is in his element 🔥 LOVE that Marco is here, he's been crushing it lately 🇺🇸

US warships are currently traversing through the Strait of Hormuz. A true show of force!

I was in Walmart today and ended up behind a grandfather with his very loud, very impatient grandson. The kid was demanding candy, cookies — you name it — and making quite the scene. Through it all, the granddad stayed calm, softly saying, “Easy now, Ethan… we’ll be done soon, buddy.” A few minutes later, another meltdown… “Hang in there, Ethan… just a little longer,” he said, still cool as ever. By the checkout, the kid was tossing things out of the cart, but the granddad didn’t raise his voice once. “Alright, Ethan… relax now, we’re almost out of here,” he said gently. I was honestly impressed, so I followed them out to the parking lot and said, “Sir, I just wanted to say — you handled that amazingly. Staying that calm with little Ethan… that takes patience. He’s lucky to have you.” The granddad smiled and said, “Thanks… but I’m Ethan. That little b@stard's name is Tyler.” 😄

🚨JD Vance just lifted off from Joint Base Andrews on Air Force Two… headed straight into one of the most volatile regions on earth. Islamabad is locked down. Armored Suburbans, ECM jamming vehicles, full protective detail already staged. Thousands of Pakistani troops securing the ground. This isn’t optics… this is what real American power looks like when it moves. He’s walking into high-threat territory to help lock in a ceasefire between Iran, Israel, and U.S. interests… with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner alongside him. People throwing around “500 soldiers” don’t understand what they’re looking at. That’s not an invasion force… that’s the layered security footprint required to protect U.S. leadership in a hostile environment. Every vehicle… Every route… Every second… Controlled. This is projection of power, precision, and presence. America doesn’t ask permission… It shows up… fully secured… and sets the terms. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

@KTAR923 It's merely a transfer facility. They come in on busses, and they leave on airplanes. In... out... your Uber is here.

Arizona's three Democratic U.S. House members said they were shocked by what they saw last night during an unannounced visit to the ICE holding facility at Mesa Gateway Airport. ktar.com/immigration/ic…

@BuzzPatterson How did they not hear all the bells and whistles going off in the cockpit?

I have idea how they got that far.

@Rep_Grijalva @SecMullinDHS 150 people per plane, 10 planes a week. Problem solved.

(2/2) @SecMullinDHS has a humanitarian crisis unfolding in Arizona, and he must act. After our visit last night, we’re hearing reports ICE may be shuffling detainees between nearby facilities — spreading overcrowding instead of addressing it. ICE is playing whac-a-mole with human lives. This is disgustingly cruel and inhumane. abc15.com/news/local-new…

@CAgovernor He's not convicted dumbass. The sentence has to be delivered by a judge, in court, for the process to end. That hasn't happened. But of course you know that.

The convicted felon in the White House is promising to pardon his own staff for their actions while in office. Why should we be surprised?

@KVOA Simple solution. Turn the SNAP rolls over to Dr. Oz and he'll quickly reinstate the benefits to those who deserve them. But, they won't do that. They'd rather punish everyone than clean their rolls up.

Arizona has seen the largest drop in SNAP benefits in the country, more than 400,000 people affected since July. Many families are now turning to food banks while waiting for answers. kvoa.com/news/top-stori…

@abc15 Alex, I'll take 'things that didn't happen' for $1000

ABC15's Adam Mintzer has the latest on what Arizona leaders described following an unannounced visit to an ICE facility in Mesa last night. abc15.com/news/local-new…

@Rep_Grijalva @RepGregStanton @RepYassAnsari Then put 'em on a plane home.

Myself, @RepGregStanton and @RepYassAnsari just finished a surprise oversight visit at a temporary ICE holding site in Mesa, AZ. We visited immediately after learning about credible reports of overcrowding and that is exactly what we saw. The conditions are horrific.

I used to believe Donald Trump was simply an outstanding President. But then I watched in real time as the mainstream media, the FBI, intelligence agencies, Big Tech, and the entire Washington establishment joined forces in an unprecedented campaign to destroy one single man. The constant lawfare, the two impeachments, the endless Russia collusion hoax, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the gag orders, the efforts to remove him from the ballot, the attempts to bankrupt him and throw him in prison... all of it aimed at stopping him from ever returning to power. That's when it became undeniable to me: No one gets this level of coordinated, hysterical opposition unless they pose a genuine existential threat to the system... The system that we all know is corrupt and broken. Ordinary politicians don't trigger that kind of coordinated panic. At that moment, I stopped thinking of him as just a great President. He is the greatest of all time.

You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me. Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious? You are the fraud.

@stephen_richer Stop hiding your voter rolls and we will.

Start naming the non-citizens who have voted. Produce a list.

A quick update as more details are coming out. In Iran, like America, there are military leaders and political leaders. President Trump is negotiating with what is left of the political leaders. Unfortunately, what is left of the military leadership is totally ignoring what the political leadership is doing. As best as I can tell, there are 34 separate military divisions. All of their leadership, like the political class, are brand new to power. It's a strugglefest over who's going to win. Trump is negotiating with one group, and the other 34 groups are fighting each other for a seat at the table. Basically, no one is in charge, but they are fighting amongst themselves more than they are fighting us at the moment. It's a fluid situation, so hang on and I'll keep you updated as updates are available.

In conjunction with Iran agreeing to Trump's terms, oil is down over $20 a barrel overnight.

Another win for Trump. The United States, in cooperation with Iran, is going into those destroyed nuclear enrichment facilities and recovering, and removing, the nuclear material. Iran will have no reason to rebuild because they will no longer have the key material needed to build a nuke.
