@DerekDuke25 It's your fault then😅

This is what I get for picking Wisconsin

I support negotiations, but we should not act like referees between two equal sides. Ukraine is a democracy under attack. Russia is the aggressor, bombing cities, killing POWs, and kidnapping children. There is a right and wrong here, and we should be clear about it.

A three-year-old company operating out of a WeWork with reportedly fewer than five employees is being considered for up to $25 BILLION in nuclear energy funds from a trade deal Trump brokered with Japan. The company has never built a nuclear plant or completed a nuclear project of any kind. What does this company bring to the table? The father of its CEO donated $2 million+ to Trump and the GOP, and one of its advisors is a former RNC co-chair and Trump appointee. In this Administration, that’s apparently all you need.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Today, I exposed an unredacted email that clearly shows Trump has been lying about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. There's no reason this should have been redacted, which is exactly why I showed it. Pam Bondi and Donald Trump: The gig is up. Release all the files. Now.

Let me get this straight. The federal government held a legal auction for the right to build offshore wind farms. A company won those auctions fair and square, paying nearly a billion dollars into the U.S. Treasury. The projects went through years of review. Courts repeatedly upheld their legality. Everything was above board. Then the Trump administration tried five separate times to kill other wind projects in federal court and lost every single time. Judges reviewed the administration’s supposed “national security” justification and weren’t persuaded.  So now they’ve landed on a new plan: pay the company nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS of your tax money to just walk away. Because, and I am not making this up, the president thinks offshore wind turbines are ugly and claims without evidence that they “drive whales crazy.”  He’s been nursing this petty grudge since 2012, when he tried to block a wind farm visible from his golf course in Scotland. Fourteen years later, American taxpayers are footing the bill for it. This is stupid policy. It’s fiscally reckless, strategically blind, and driven entirely by a personal vendetta rather than any coherent vision for American energy or competitiveness. Meanwhile, China is racing ahead, building offshore wind at a staggering pace and positioning itself to dominate the global clean energy economy for decades to come. None of this is America First. nytimes.com/2026/03/17/cli…

@_sean_mcadam @angusproud @ianbremmer @grok Which is probably better than your average X commenter.

@Penthor @angusproud @ianbremmer @grok Since the conclusions are based on opinion it does not make them right either. It is just the opinion of "experts"

us fallen back to democracy levels of the 1960s

@_sean_mcadam @angusproud @ianbremmer @grok Still, that doesn't make the conclusions wrong.

@Penthor @angusproud @ianbremmer @grok Subjective can be very useful for some things, but not something that is presented to look like science. "Expert estimate of the extend of voting rights" In other words it is opinions tracked over time. This is not science, but it presented as or implied to be science

@ianbremmer In my neighborhood it has gone from $2.31 to $3.79 with the war.

gas prices up 29% in 20 days. sharpest spike since hurricane katrina.

@ianbremmer AI is the only thing keeping us out of recession right now.

consumer sentiment: republicans: 98. overall: 56. democrats: 38. the way people feel about the economy, not quite rationally, has everything to do with who's in the white house.

@angusproud @_sean_mcadam @ianbremmer @grok Subjective isn't necessarily wrong.

@_sean_mcadam @ianbremmer @grok You may use that argument if you were critical of the way the index places one country against another. However, when one country gains or loses points when compared to itself in previous years, I find that considerably more significant.

@ianbremmer EQT APA CTRA

israel: south pars gas field attack made in coordination with united states trump: knew nothing about israel strikes

biden total spend on ukraine: $180 billion the pentagon just asked for $200 billion for war in iran.

@CedGolden That's a lot of 3pt power.

North Carolina State is a 1 ½ point favorite over Texas. The Horns won the first meeting, 102-97. Stat to watch. Four Wolfpack starters make over 40% of their 3-point attempts.

@secnumbersguy Texas has been to a final 4... TJ Ford's team.

What is the deepest every SEC team has gone in the NCAA Tournament? National Champions - Florida, Kentucky, Arkansas National Championship - Oklahoma Final Four - Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina Elite Eight - Mizzou, Tennessee, Vanderbilt Sweet Sixteen - Ole Miss, Texas A&M

@eawickham @JenAFifield @zachdespart The numbers I've seen amount to less than 0.01% non-citizen.

@Penthor @JenAFifield @zachdespart x.com/AAGDhillon/sta…

Along with requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, the bill would require states to use a federal tool to find & remove noncitizens on their voter rolls. That tool, @zachdespart & I found, often inaccurately marks citizens as noncitizens: propublica.org/article/save-v…

@tommysantos14 We'll never get those allies back. They know that almost half the voters voted for Trump. Trump is just a bad symptom.

When Trump leaves office: The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department. The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center. The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico. The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom. Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired. The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president. Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference. The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies. The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists. Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it. The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters. U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators. And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.

joe kent, director of national counterterrorism center (and strong maga supporter), resigns over iran war.

KALLAS: "Following the US decision to ease sanctions on Russian oil, Europe will maintain sanctions and continue to move away from Russian fossil fuels. If we want this war to end, Moscow must have less money for the war, not more. Dialling up pressure on Russia’s shadow fleet is one of the best tools we have. I commend France, Belgium and Sweden for boarding and seizing falsely flagged tankers. It is time for the gloves to come off on Russia’s shadow fleet. The adoption of the 20th sanctions package is long overdue. The same goes for the €90 billion loan. Member States renewed sanctions on over 2,600 individuals. Today, Ministers also adopted new sanctions targeting those seeking to destabilize the EU."

Let's be clear — an order to give "no quarter" means to take no prisoners and execute soldiers who try to surrender.   It is a violation of the law of war and the Geneva Conventions.    As a former Army JAG who trained soldiers on the law of war, it is clear that @SecWar must go.
