@jess_ih_ka @grok what evidence do we have this is true?

NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute: President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan. According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war: “This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.” In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives. Key points in the offer: • $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs • Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime • Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub • Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons • Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella • Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb • Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel • Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected. Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.

@9FootCouch @GenFlynn Sky tanker 😂

@GenFlynn There's a ship in Oklahoma City?

This is real time (hint: this isn’t the Straits of Hormuz). marinetraffic.com tracks globally. Zoom in.

@GenFlynn @grok can you explain this chart? Is this a higher-than-normal amount of traffic?

@travisakers You followed the case against Trump for his felonies right?

Preemptively stating that you are going to pardon your entire staff and yourself before leaving office is one of the biggest admissions of guilt I have ever seen.

@amuse @grok is this true

TRUMP BOOM: Asian buyers are abandoning Middle Eastern oil & lining up 28 supertankers to carry US crude in May alone. Normal bookings at this point: 5. US Gulf Coast exports hit a record 4.90 million barrels a day in April. Trump's energy dominance is not a talking point. It is a shipping manifest. h/t @KobeissiLetter

@MaryLTrump Please think before we post people. Men already are required to register for the draft. Now an extra step is removed

Draft-dodging presidents should not have the power to impose the draft.

@CAgovernor So democrats have been claiming they were going after MAGA if they take power…should MAGA be concerned? Remember when Biden pardoned his son who obviously didn’t do anything wrong Focus on fixing the mess you made in your state

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?

@Pontifex Just as long as no one touches the Catholic Churches billions right? The problem is other peoples money

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

@PeteButtigieg How is it looking compared to the last admin Pete? How was inflation then?

The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down. Instead, he drove it up.

@nicmatron @NodiMend What new technology that requires new rules, regulations, and processes have you come up with? If you’re saying he erred in being too bold in his timelines…you are right. Did he make that claim before Covid? No grace given something that shut down the world?

@NodiMend @LucasMcDevitt 1 million on the road by 2020, right? That was the timeline? And right now they’re doing limited deployment in a geofenced area of a single city? Huh….

For those who don't know, The Boring Company built a hyperloop tunnel in Vegas that goes from the convention center to the Strip, and the "technological marvel" is *checks notes* a bunch of Tesla Model Y's driving through the tunnel. And not at high speed rail speeds. Oh, and it cost over 50 million dollars for 1.7 miles. Elmo is lying through his teeth. Again. Disclaimer: Sadly, I'm an equity holder in The Boring Company. Or should I say bagholder, because Elmo has run it like shit and I've basically written off the investment as a loss at this point.

@ewarren Your approval rating is about likable as stepping in dog shit

We can't ignore that the President of the United States threatened to commit war crimes in our names. Congress must vote to stop Trump’s war.

@Martina So it removes a step from something we were already required to do? What’s the issue?

@BonkDaCarnivore @NodiMend Seem like a fella who seeks to find fault…are the robotaxis operating? Some of this is also due to our inept regulatory system. Make sure you find fault there as well

@NodiMend Safety driver in the passenger seat

@CAgovernor I bet you used this same tactic on you wife after you cheated on her. “I’m taking decisive action against men who cheat on their wives…leading the charge”

California is again leading the charge against large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud. Today, we're taking decisive action against 14 providers who tried using stolen identities to bill Medi-Cal for nonexistent hospice services.

@JWDalsager Did Turkey have missiles launched at them? Are missiles considered an attack?

NATO. Is. A. Defensive. Alliance. You. Attacked. Someone. Absolute dimwits.

@swd2 @DHSgov @the_capper_ Your take here is to say “yeah but other people do bad stuff too” If you kid pisses on the carpet do you say to your wife “yeah but Billy shit on the carpet yesterday” Why would anyone try to justify this in any way?

@DHSgov @the_capper_ This is horrible. Also, statistically speaking US citizens commit crimes at higher rates than immigrants.

WARNING GRAPHIC: These are the consequences of importing the third world. Do not look away.

@RoKhanna So wait…ever since the government got more involved with healthcare (ACA) prices have skyrocketed and quality has decreased. And your solution is “we didn’t let them do enough”

The U.S. spends far more on healthcare than other rich countries. $15,000 per person (almost double), 18% of GDP (nearly twice as high), and healthcare inflation is 7% (roughly double others). Yet outcomes are worse. Life expectancy is lower, infant & maternal mortality higher, and chronic disease like diabetes and heart disease higher. Canada with single payer has far lower costs than the US, and even than Germany & Switzerland, and provides better, universal coverage. Most important, in an AI world, people's healthcare must not be dependent on their job. Every doctor should be in network. Medicare for All is needed for our time. It is a moral and economic imperative.

@GunnelsWarren Also we keep paying more in taxes and social security hasn’t been solved. Giving more money to bureaucrats is as effective as California high speed rail

If Bernie’s Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would’ve paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve been solvent for 75 years, benefits would’ve gone up by $2,400 & 93% would’ve paid $0 more in taxes. Instead, they want you to work till you drop dead.

@GunnelsWarren How would that have affected those of us who hold Tesla stock?

@JBPritzker You should really focus on more important things. Diet Strength training Cardio Think of your family sir

The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked before it's too late.
