@Osint613 Not the first time he's appeared in court, though.

President Trump en route to the Supreme Court for oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, the historic birthright citizenship case. First sitting president ever to attend in person

@_HelenDale The acronym!

Well played, South Straya police, well played.

A tough day for anyone trying to work out where the real news ends and the April Fools begin

@StateDept And, apparently, they said they would. The day before you bombed them.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The only reason to have 60% enriched uranium is to be able to enrich it to 90% and put it into a bomb. Iran has NO reason to have it. They need to give it up.

Trump's second term really is the American Brexit. A catastrophic failure to understand the world fuelled by vanity, lies and nationalist delusion

By design, indeed by American design, Article Six of NATO limits the geographic scope of the alliance. It was shaped by the US (and Canadian) concern that it would be dragged into European colonial wars. The broader issue of US bases in Europe is not a new issue. See Libya 1986.

An alien has taken over Rubio. Used to be a huge champion of the alliance. Huge. Years of receipts. Hard to watch the transformation from a respected foreign policy hand to….whatever this creature is…. Rubio knows better on the substance-there’s always been issues with US bases in Europe for our various wars…controversy is nothing new….he knows that…and asking NATO naval forces to fight and die for our war of choice of course is a huge request, and one that any foreign policy hand would tell u is a very tough ask after Trump has disgustingly already mocked NATO for their role in Afghanistan, Greenland fiasco, etc….so I guess Rubio sold his soul for power? Future presidential run? Hope that Cuba is next on our 2026 war tour? A classic case of blind ambition destroying one’s long record of ethics and morals? Sad and disappointing to see.

@StateDept Do you think he actually believes this crap?

SECRETARY RUBIO: NATO wasn’t just about defending Europe, but allowing us to have military bases in Europe for our national security. If we’ve reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can’t use those bases to defend our interests, then it’s a one-way street.

NATO will survive Trump and his administration. And what does not kill an alliance may yet strengthen it. Washington is relearning an elementary truth: without allies, the United States may still be effective, but it is less mighty. Alliances are not instruments of command. They require respect, consultation, and advance notice. Allies are not vassals; they have their own voters and interests. Those who ignore the theory of alliances usually get a brutal lesson in how alliances actually work. #WeareNATO

Trump says the US is 'leaving soon' and has 'nothing to do' with the Strait. He started a war, lost it, closed the Strait, and now he's pretending it was never his problem. This is what failure looks like

@UKDefJournal 😁 Very good post script at the end of the article.

HMS Queen Elizabeth's refit has introduced a novel deck feature said to expand aviation flexibility, though questions remain over how it will be used in practice Click image for more. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/?p=68202

🔥 Farage roasted again by 🇺🇸 Rep Jamie Raskin “This is the guy that delivered Brexit to the UK. How he shows his face in public after that debacle is beyond …Isn’t that considered a disaster in the history of England? I cannot imagine a society that produced some of the greatest writers, poets and musicians… falling for a free speech imposter and charlatan like that.” Absolutely 💯

MESSAGE I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach. Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace. An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters. I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end. DALAI LAMA 31 March 2026

Goodbye March! At times you were bitingly cold and relentlessly dark … but I kept watching and there were plenty of moments of beauty to catch. Thanks for everything. x

Marco Rubio: “Just because you’re born on U.S. soil doesn’t make you a citizen. Your parents must be U.S. citizens.” Grok: “Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971. His parents became citizens in 1975. Rubio is a beneficiary of birthright citizenship.”

LARA TRUMP: “This anti-war retired General has no idea what it means to serve in the military.” This has to be the dumbest comment on the internet so far in 2026.

Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.”

KAROLINE LEAVITT: “[Regarding foreign diplomacy] If we don’t like the way you negotiate, we’ll kill you.” I’m sorry. What?!?!

@JoePaulGians @Acyn Who cares? That's war. People needing water is life. That's where the war crime comes in. You're not actually allowed to slaughter civilians. Although, of course, that doesn't count anymore because of what Israel did without comeback - so we're all fucked.

@Puddleglim @Acyn Where does industry, government, and the military get its fresh water from in these countries if not the desalinization plants? (Hint, they support the war effort as much as the civilian population.)

Reporter: The president said we might blow up and completely obliterate all of their generating electric plants, oil wells, Kharg island, and possibly all desalination plants. Under international law, striking infrastructure is generally prohibited. Why is the president advocating potentially a war crime and how do you square that with the US aying it does not target civilians? Leavitt: Their best move is to make a deal or else the united States armed forces has capabilities beyond their wildest imagination Reporter: Including potential war crimes? Leavitt: With respect to achieving the full objectives, the president is going to move forward… Reporter: Which of those objectives would destroying a desalination plant most help?
