@LAGovJeffLandry @realDonaldTrump As pressure mounts from the Epstein files, expect Trump to get more chaotic and more dangerous as he tries to drag the spotlight anywhere (like Greenland) but what the documents say about him.

People like Marc are some of the most toxic to society. Nothing matters--decency doesn't matter, respect doesn't matter, history doesn't matter. It's all a joke. Every member of the Greatest Generation would think him the ugliest of Americans and greatest of fools.

The divide in America is between those who think this is hilarious and those who find it horrifying. (H/T It’s hilarious)

@guypbenson So the GOP controls both Chambers and voted down a clean TSA, FEMA funding bill, yet Democrats are responsible for airport security lines? Is that right Guy?

I’m in a TSA Precheck line that goes all the way out to the parking garage in Philadelphia. Congress, what in the hell is wrong with you? In a new era of increasing terrorism, 25 years after 9/11, and you’re not funding DHS because you’re mad about illegal aliens being deported? Go F- yourselves, every single one of you. Not blaming TSA. They’re working their butts off this morning.

Sen. Paul: "You told the media that I was a freaking snake and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted…I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force."

On the Strait of Hormuz we've gone from: 1. Don't need help 2. We need help 3. Why aren't folks helping? 4. Helps on the way 5. Not telling you who is helping 6. Helps not actually on the way but we don't need it anyway 7. We may just abandon it and leave it to everyone else

President Trump appears to have had his request for help in the Strait of Hormuz — and perhaps other requests he made — rejected by some of the United States’ strongest allies. “Most of NATO” Australia Japan South Korea

Rep. Pete Sessions: "I believe that what these 2,500 Marines would be is to secure the island. The island is not, in my opinion, boots on the ground in combat circumstances. It's not like inside Iran in the cities."

Gold Star wife here. When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.” My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine. You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@jonkarl First Trump official to state on the record there was "No imminent threat." Trump and Vance's war in Iran is illegal.

Something we have rarely seen during the Trump era: a senior official resigning in protest — in this case, resigning to protest the war against Iran.

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

TRUMP IN ONE SINGLE EVENT -- "They won't be there for us" -- "We have some that are really enthusiastic. They're coming already." -- "This isn't 'need'" -- "If we need anything, they should be jumping to help us" -- "We want them to come and help us with the strait" -- My attitude is we don't need anybody"

Actually, the guy who was the point person for Iran at the White House and was fired by the Trump Administration after being Loomered wrote EXACTLY that warning 4 days before the war started. The article was titled “Why Iran Will Escalate.” But who needs experts… foreignaffairs.com/middle-east/wh…
Acyn@Acyn

Doocy: You said: they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait nobody expected that. We were shocked. Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time that that might be their retaliation? Trump: Nobody. Nobody. No no no no. The greatest experts—nobody thought they were going hit…

I beg everyone to watch All the Empty Rooms on Netflix, which just won the Oscar for Documentary Short. It is 35 minutes of incredible journalism. It is unbearably sad, but it is beautifully done. If you want to help prevent school violence, please visit @sandyhook.

"All the Empty Rooms" has won the #Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film. The documentary follows CBS News’ @SteveHartmanCBS and photographer Lou Bopp as they meet the parents of school shooting victims, who open their doors and share what it’s like to live alongside their children’s bedrooms, left just as they were. Directed by @JSeftel, the short film was originally featured on CBS Sunday Morning in November 2024.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

The state doesn't like the war coverage, threatens the license of the broadcasters.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!
