@MarioNawfal Small gunboats to harrass unarmed tankers, threatening to hanging young women and cringey AI videos is all Iran has to bargain with 🤣

Iran just dropped the hammer! They just announced they are now charging a toll for all ships that go through the Straight of Hormuz The fee has to be paid in their local currency, and any country that participated in the war has to pay an ADDITIONAL fee. Oh and Israel is banned On top of this, they are banning ships from countries that are sanctioning Iran: 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇰🇷 And to make things worse, as a middle finger to Trump, they are asking all countries to call it the Strait of Persia 😂 Iran know Trump does not want to return to war, the global economy cannot afford it, and they are making the most out of the situation The effects of this war will be felt for generations to come. We're just starting to see the consequences unfold

@jmullen2 He's going to get attacked from both parties. Maybe it'll make him a martyer who will gain sympathy votes.

Bodnar doubles down in NYTimes he will not caucus (junk committee assignments, no support on bills) and the Times mentions his sex discrimination lawsuit settlement, which will play a bigger and bigger role in his campaign as long as the testimonies remain sealed. Link👇

@muru_guru @DanielLDavis1 @s_m_marandi Because they don't exist. He's spewing psyop for pro-Islamic Nationalists fanboys to regurgitate to the West. As Doug McGregor would say, "you fools!"

@DanielLDavis1 @s_m_marandi It's not quite smart of Mirandi running his mouth about details of Iran's military capabilities...unless he's trying to intimidate the opposition.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Why Iran’s "Missile Cities" remain beyond the reach of U.S. power. Professor Seyed Marandi (@s_m_marandi) exposes a major gap in the U.S. strategy within the current Middle East conflict: Tehran’s military backbone remains virtually untouched. Iran's underground facilities - many of which are literally built into mountains under hundreds of feet of granite - have been near impervious to America's attempt to destroy them by bombing: "Iranian missile and drone (inventories), far more than 60% are intact." Iran’s subterranean shield has proven impenetrable: "Most of the Iranian underground bases have not even been opened yet." Despite precision strikes, Marandi reveals that "the Americans... never were able to destroy any of the bases" or the key production facilities. By moving assets into "tunnels underground," Iran has successfully neutralized the impact of superior Western firepower. This strategic reality suggests that any hope for a quick military resolution is a dangerous illusion.

@thehill If wiping out the tier 1 leadership so fresh leaders can reassess and enter the world society on more sane terms, then yes. Didn't have Neoliberals sympathizing with Middle East theocracies on my bingo card. Who is next? The Taliban?

House Democrat: Iran in ‘better position’ today than before war thehill.com/homenews/house…

@TheDemocrats Not a bad 2028 ticket. Man and woman. West and East coast. I like the subtle message here.

Democratic governors are leading the charge against Trump’s power grab—and they’re winning. Democrats gave voters a voice and Americans made themselves clear: They do not support Trump’s undemocratic attempt to rig the midterms for Republicans. Onwards to November.

@NewSocialistEra @jimmy_dore We expect the magats to rule against universal Healthcare. We don't expect Democrats to fight against it either. Like 2009 when we controlled the WH, House and a Super Majority AND still never delivered.

@jimmy_dore SO just rag on corporate dems and never on the maga-ass repubs Jimmy? lol

This is what you get with an entire state completely controlled by Democrats. 100% corruption and government acting in the interest of money & against the citizens. There's no voting our way out of this. No, Voting republican will not fix this.

@cptspatchcock @TimHannan On another note, they should've left out "restore fairness". The question was very easy to understand. The "restore fairness" line does open it up for bias. No idea if a court would rule against that or not.

What person with an IQ over 80 can't understand this language? "Question: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?"

Why do elections only get stolen when Dumbfuck J Trump is in office? We were fine for 240 years and then this whiny bitch shows up and everything is rigged? Get the fuck out of here.

@Iamawomanofach1 @TimHannan Math is hard for you

@BubbleAss16 @ggreenwald @realJZervos And you are in agreement with Carlson that the Islamic Nationalists should have a nuke. No shame in having an opinion like that. Shame on your for trying to squirrel away from it.

@RickyTicky5309 @ggreenwald @realJZervos Tucker Carlson is MAGA. He just doesn’t like licking the boots of the orange turd.

March 21: Trump said he'd "obliterate" Iran's power plants if they didn't open the Strait within 48 hours (they didn't, so he extended it by 5 days). March 28: Trump again extended the deadline by 10 days, claiming Iran asked (they didn't). He said he'd obliterate their civilization if there was no deal (there wasn't). April 6: Trump extended the deadline by 2 weeks, threatening destruction if the Strait wasn't opened during that period (it wasn't). April 21: Trump extended the deadline indefinitely even though Iran refused to negotiate, claiming he did so because Pakistan asked. April 22: Trump's claim that the US has a full blockade of Iranian oil in the Strait is negated by this report that at least 34 Iranian tankers have passed through. But the US is winning and Iran is on its knees begging to capitulate fully.

@BubbleAss16 @ggreenwald @realJZervos You're the one siding with Tucker Carlson and using the R word. You check the blocks more to be with maga than the rest of us who don't favor theocracies

@RickyTicky5309 @ggreenwald @realJZervos “Hottakes from the surface” is that you MAGA retard? 🤡

@BubbleAss16 @ggreenwald @realJZervos Tucker Carlson has broken up with Trump and is now on your side. You can keep him and all his "final solution" followers. Try and keep up...the news moves fast.

@RickyTicky5309 @ggreenwald @realJZervos Tucker Carlson is MAGA

@BubbleAss16 @ggreenwald @realJZervos Maga? Maga are the ones upset about the Islamic Nationalists being pummeled to the advantage of the Israelis. You're siding with Tucker Carlson here.

@RickyTicky5309 @ggreenwald @realJZervos Everyone knows who is in charge in Iran. It’s only the MAGA dufus that don’t lmao

@ggreenwald @realJZervos How have you not deep dived on the Iranian subject yet? You continue to give hottakes from the surface. It was Pakistan who asked for more time because Iran still hasn't figured out who is in charge. The US is showing restraint instead of pummeling a fractured leadership.

@realJZervos No, I'm glad that he's squandering all of his credibility and is desperate to get out of this war. He just needs Iran to give him a way to credibly claim that he won something more than the JCPOA gave, and so far Iran won't give him that.

@ggreenwald Quit talking out both sides of your mouth when to comes to diplomacy or bombngs. Also, you'd be hanging from a crane in Tehran just for your sexual orientation alone. No idea why you sympathize for the mullah maniacs over western democracies.

@ryanpcooney Absolutely. But I fear we will take that majority and squander it on impeachments that will make us look not serious about legislating. Thus in 2028 we will lose the majority again...and the WH because our bench of candidates isn't impressive yet. Real prize is winning the Senate

Sure does feel like the stars are aligning for a historically bad midterms for the GOP.

@ShawSiew @GovernorVA Democracy spoke and said this is what Virginia wants.

Virginia voters have spoken, and tonight they pushed back against a President who claims he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress. As we watched other states go along with those demands without voter input, Virginians refused to let that stand. We responded the right way: at the ballot box.

@Stassiaaaa @RepJeffries Meh. Times have changed. You got the first shot in Texas. Failed ever since in Utah, Indiana and more. This game is probably too much for you.

@RepJeffries Hey I’ll just leave this here

House Democrats have crushed Donald Trump’s national gerrymandering scheme. Prop 50 in California ✅ Dummymander in Texas ✅ Pushed them back in Ohio ✅ Picked up a seat in Utah ✅ Stopped them in Indiana ✅ Stopped them in Kansas ✅ Stopped them in Nebraska ✅ Stopped them in NH ✅ Big win in Virginia ✅ Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.

@Kamalu1979 @RepJeffries I'm a fan of Virginia setting things right tonight. But I fear this could motivate Thune to actually support this draconian Save America Act.

@RepJeffries One step closer to Hakeem's wish list

@Tamiami335 @kenmartin73 How about this. The magas out in the hills will have a representative who will actually care about their lack of education and obesity. A representative that'll provide them a better education and better Healthcare. Win/win

@kenmartin73 How is it fair representation when a large chunk of republicans will now lose their voice by the dems gerrymandering?

Tonight, Virginians refused to let Trump play games with Americans’ right to fair representation. Thanks to Virginia voters, Governor Spanberger, and Democrats in the VA state legislature, Republicans can’t cheat their way out of accountability in 2026. The DNC was proud to support the Commonwealth in this fight, and we will keep working every day to protect our elections and elect Democrats who will stand up for working families.

@smdowner @kenmartin73 Virginians voted for the new map. You're problem is with Democracy.

@kenmartin73 Cheat? Virginia Democrats just disenfranchised HALF of the state’s citizens.
