New in PN: The vanity presidency "America has suffered ignorant presidents, corrupt presidents, and incompetent presidents. Trump is all of these, yet something far worse: He’s the first to view the office not as a public obligation, but as a personal vanity project designed solely to serve himself." publicnotice.co/p/trump-vanity…


Americans deserve robust competition & affordable airfares. USDOT supports DOJ's antitrust lawsuit, & we plan to deny the JetBlue-Spirit request for an exemption on their merger deal. We will continue with our own investigation while supporting DOJ's work. transportation.gov/briefing-room/…




It's hard to see a negotiated solution right now in the Iran war, says CFR's @MikeFroman cnbc.com/video/2026/04/…



U.S. forces have directed 29 vessels to turn around or return to port as part of the U.S. blockade against Iran. Over past 24 hours, media reports have alleged that several commercial ships evaded the blockade, citing M/V Hero II, M/V Hedy, and M/V Dorena as examples. These reports are inaccurate. Hero II and Hedy did not sail past the blockade as part of a flotilla that “ferried” millions of barrels of oil to the market. In fact, the Iranian-flagged tankers are anchored in Chah Bahar, Iran, after being intercepted by U.S. forces earlier this week. Dorena has been under the escort of a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Indian Ocean after previously attempting to violate the blockade. The U.S. military has global reach. American forces are operating and enforcing the blockade across the Middle East and beyond.





One of the reasons we keep getting mixed messages regarding Iran is bc Iran’s leadership was decentralized as a strategic defense. It’s worked to some extent. But it also means they don’t have a unified message and are arguing internally. Classic Byzantine Generals Problem.







@CGasparino @realDonaldTrump None of this is true.
