@BulwarkOnline What Iran is doing in the SoH is what Trump admires and respects most -
Using a power position to exact tribute from those who rely on the power.

"The world has known two successive naval hegemons committed to free and open trade. There is no indication that there will be a third."

@Noahpinion This is why land acknowledgements are so despised.
Any political party that states a land acknowledgement is stating the country they want to lead is founded on something evil.
Median voters will not abide by that idea, and will not vote for a party that states them.

Agree with this. The reality of societies and history is always a mix of positive and negative. But societies have to tell themselves a positive, uplifting story about themselves, or they won't progress.
Carlos That Notices Things@QuetzalPhoenix
So long as "colonialism is the west's original sin" is actually believed, then every single western country is doomed and will not achieve anything of note. If your society's founding myth is negative, then self-destruction is the only virtue it will produce. Culture matters.

@neeratanden The campus camp out protesters are genuinely terrified of Trump ruining their lives in ways they were never scared of Biden/Harris.
English
Gotta say, I have also been wondering why there are no shame chants at Trump staff.
Sam Stein@samstein
Biden's presidency was tormented by campus protests over Israel's war in Gaza and his reluctance to push back on it. They shadowed him at events Those protests have been virtually nonexistent with Trump amid the war in Iran. @Lauren_V_Egan looks into why thebulwark.com/p/the-campus-p…

And here's an excerpt from that new book by @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan, a gripping, inside-the-room account of how Netanyahu made the hard sell to Trump for war in Iran during a secret Situation Room meeting on Feb. 11. nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/…

And finally, the dynamic duo of @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan announced today the title and cover of their new book on Trump, "Regime Change," which will be published on June 23. A must-read, to say the least. politics-prose.com/book/978166806… amazon.com/Regime-Change-…

Something about the NCAAM National Championship on cable and not on CBS that don't sit right with my soul

@MetsGiveMeAgita You may have to state that Stearns made the right call on him.
Tho, there will be another 500 at bats this year to change Pete's data trend.

I must admit as additional commentary here, there is a certain degree of schadenfreud here for me when it comes to Pete.

Jeez, Alonso is really scuffling.

The Artemis crew is now asking NASA to give them new superlatives so that they can better describe what they are seeing. 😂

@Pontology_ @mattyglesias Dare you to ask 20 people how to pronounce "Chinx"

@mattyglesias Thanks for using gender-neutral nouns like Italianx and Chinx.

conservative nostalgia is so funny man
the murder rate in NYC is literally down 80% compared to when this video was taken
Kevin Sorbo@ksorbs
Look at this video of NYC in 1975, see how peaceful it was? Look at how everybody seems to be enjoying their lives, and not contrast it to today. Our country has been ruined.

@BarryOnHere Have you been living in a cave the last few decades?

Still together 50 years later.
No scandals.
No cheating.
No drama.
Just pure love.

@RonFilipkowski It may be on the networks, but everyone is watching Netflix and Hulu.
English
Trump called for a primetime address to the nation on the Iran War and then just repeated all the same tired shit he says every day. But the networks all carried it live so he accomplished that I guess.
English
Polls, including CNN's, is a disaster for Trump on the economy.
More disapprove of him (72%) on inflation than than Carter (!!) or Biden at this time in a presidency.
Trump's disapproval (76%) is higher than Biden's worst (72%) on gas prices.
Trump's on a stairway to hell.

@DavidHannaJr @lrozen I honestly believe he has no idea what to do with people who cannot be bribed. It is so foreign to him.
They drive him crazy - look at Zelensky.
Nothing Trump can give him personally will make him surrender.
English
@lrozen I think the most Trump thing we can do is just hand them a stack of cash. Call it a day.

WH press secretary saying US diplomacy is reason Iran is letting some oil tankers through Strait. I thought Iran is benefitting from the tankers it negotiates to let through.
Maybe US should just pay Iran per tanker and call it a win?
would it cost less than fighting to reopen strait?
