@SenBlumenthal So I assume this means Richard will be voting against any and all future spending on Ukraine?

Medicine, utilities, food…prices are rising across the board, & Trump’s war in Iran is only making things worse.

@stelzner_n1150 That's the problem with Democrats. They cry when Trump does something and then cry harder when he stops. The only thing that doesn't stop is their crying.
English
Trump said we’re leaving Iran in 2-3 weeks. That means 1 of 2 things.
1. He’s lying to calm the markets.
2. He’s telling the truth and showing his hand.
Both are retarded.
English
Just because the US has the biggest military doesn't mean we win. Carthage had the biggest military, Rome defeated them. Persia, same thing, Alexander the Great defeated them. Iran's victory is simply surviving.
English
Of course. Trump is full of shit.

JUST IN: Iranian Foreign Minister says trust between the U.S. and Iran in peace talks is "at zero"
English
@BobTrice @stelzner_n1150 Correction: The market knows it's not BS. They know Iran lies publicly as they do the complete opposite privately. Do you remember when this game guy gave Trump advance notice about a missile launch last year? reuters.com/world/middle-e…
English
@stelzner_n1150 And what amazes me is the the fricken stock market buys his bullshit
English
@stelzner_n1150 This is the same guy who called Trump secretly last year to advise the U.S. where they were going to shoot missiles, so the U.S. could evacuate people from those areas. Public versus private messaging from Iran is 180 degrees opposite.
English
@RCPolitics Trump isn't your average politician, so doesn't govern by polls like his predecessors. And this isn't losing: x.com/ianmiles/statu…

HUGE: The US confirms that it used heavy 2,000 pound “bunker-buster” munitions to penetrate deeply into the IRGC’s underground ballistic missile and ammunition stockpile in Isfahan, Iran tonight and sent it to kingdom come. There are now far weapons that the terrorist regime of the “Islamic Republic” will be able to use on civilian targets in the Middle East. You absolutely love to see it.

Trump Says He's Winning in Iran. He's Losing Bigly realclearpolitics.com/2026/03/31/tru…

@SenatorWarnock Not mail-in ballots. Mail-in ballots that are sent after the deadline. Who would be against that?
English
The President’s attack on mail-in ballots is desperation plain and simple.
It’s a panicked attempt to silence the people and salvage a failing presidency.
It will not stand.
English
@ChrisMurphyCT The Democrats are fearful that Trump may be the one who finally delivers peace to the Middle East by preventing Iran - the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world -- from possessing nuclear weapons.
English
The incompetence of Trump's war with Iran is already breathtaking.
The global economy is melting because Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz.
Imagine how much worse it gets if Iran's ally, the Houthis, effectively close the Suez Canal.

@anders_aslund So insane, in fact, that he stopped 20 million illegal aliens from entering our country, reduced violent crime to its lowest level on record and has the stock market at near record highs, doing so while he removes nukes from the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
English
For how long is the US going to tolerate an obviously insane autocrat as president?
And how is it going to stop this madman?
English
@AmericaFirstCon Trump doesn't care about the polls. He's doing what's right for the U.S., and that's to prevent a foe that hates us from possessing nukes.
English
Trump continues to commit political suicide for the Republican Party with his foolhardy, forever war on Iran with the worst presidential approval rating at this point in his second term than any US president in modern history. Its worse than Nixon's during the Watergate scandal, Clinton's or Obama's seven months before the GOP gained nine additional US Senate seats in 2014! The GOP is going to suffer a historic wipeout in the November mid-term congressional and gubernatorial elections giving the Democrats a generational electoral majority.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
A steady fall into the abyss for Trump's net approval, as it falls into Death Valley. He's now at a term 2 low: -18 pts. Big reason why: Independents. Trump's at -45 pts. The worst for any prez at this point in term 2. Worse than Nixon (-36 pts) at the height of Watergate!

@FrankRight63 @Scaramucci LOL. Tony got fired for being drunk on the job less than two weeks into his gig at the White House. And you're listening to his "wisdom"? Lol
English
@Scaramucci Bravo Tony!!
Finally someone you caliber speaks out.
Run for President in 2028.
That egomaniac idiot doesn’t care about anybody but just about his own dirty businesses ruining America image and trust.
What a shame!
English
Let me say something every Republican needs to hear right now.
Trump does not care if you lose.
He does not care about your career, your district, your donors, or your family.
Trump cares about three things. Money. Attention. Self-aggrandizement.
That’s the complete list.
And the idea that Trump is going to help Republicans win in 2028 is a bunch of malarkey.
You want to know who Trump actually wants as his successor? Gavin Newsom.
The narcissistic nihilistic logic is this: you were nothing before I got here and when I leave, you’ll be nothing again.
That’s the supreme narcissist’s final move.
A Democrat winning in 2028 proves his point perfectly.
Don Jr. has already said they want to be the richest family in the world before they leave the presidency.
God only knows what they’re doing to get there.
So if you’re a Republican still betting your future on this man’s loyalty — understand one thing clearly.
There is no loyalty. There is only the transaction.
And you’re not the one getting paid.
English
@Scaramucci He cares about America, which is distinct from almost every other politician before him who governed based on poll directions. Reagan was perhaps the last.
English
@FurkanGozukara What do you think he's going to say? Do you remember when this same guy called Trump to tell him where Iran was shooting their missiles last year, when they publicly said they were going to obliterate the U.S. bases in the Middle East?
English
Absolute bombshell. Iran's Foreign Minister goes on Al Jazeera and completely exposes Donald Trump's lie that peace negotiations are going "extremely well." He confirms Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff is just sending desperate messages and zero actual talks are happening.
English
@DanielLDavis1 People who think Iran has negotiating leverage -- and benefit from this war extending forward -- are mistaken. They are losing massive amounts of military capabilities each and every day: x.com/ianmiles/statu…

Trump just said from Oval Office:
* Iran war will be over in two or three weeks.
* Iran doesn’t have to make a deal for us to leave. France or some other country can figure out the Straits.
* I’ve only had one goal: Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon and I’ve made sure they won’t.
* we’ve already had regime change in Iran and the new regime is more reasonable. They want a deal and I think we’ll get one, but we don’t need one.
He didn’t say anything about the thousands of ground troops still flowing to the region or what he would do if Iran doesn’t stop fighting. Trump wants to leave, but Iran says they won’t stop until they get reparations and security guarantees.
Trump doesn’t seem to have considered what might happen if he wants to leave and Iran keeps fighting.
He also didn’t address the unsecured 400+ kg of reprocessed nuclear material in Iran.
Lots of questions unanswered or unaddressed, so not real confident this war will b over in a couple weeks…
English
@barnes_law Saudi Arabia is now the undisputed military power in the Middle East, aside from Israel. They will almost certainly have a say.
English
The Saudi's don't have a veto, and if they push it too far, the House of Saud itself might fall.
HFI Research@HFI_Research
If you think the Saudis will sit idly by and let Iran set up a toll booth, you do not understand oil or geopolitics one bit. The power dynamics of OPEC and OPEC+ (later on) can teach you a lot about what may unfold in the future. For starters, OPEC was always centered around the power and flexibility of Saudi production. Saudi says jump, everyone jumps. If you don't jump, they destroy you with price cuts and production increases. You don't have to be a scholar to understand this dynamic, just look at past episodes: 1986, 1998, 2009, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, etc. If Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz via a toll mechanism, it will have an effective say in future production. This is 1,000x more powerful than the dynamic Saudis had over OPEC+. There's a 0% chance this happens. There's a higher chance I can travel at the speed of light before the Saudis agree to anything like this.
English
No U.S. official has cited evidence or an intelligence assessment to support the president’s claim just now that Iran would have a nuclear weapon and would have used a nuclear weapon by now without the war.
English
@kimplopa Because they destroyed Iran's nuclear and military capabilities? x.com/ianmiles/statu…

@emkaimi @Bushra1Shaikh How? Ask any woman who actually lives in Iran if they enjoy the same freedoms as men? And then ask gays in Iran how they're treated. You'll learn pretty quickly that Bushra is blatantly lying if she suggests that men and women are equals under the Iranian regime.

THE 'SUPERPOWER OF THE WORLD', THE U.S, IS BLOCKED FROM USING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

Iran is winning the war by a large margin.
