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.

Dulles went from 64°F at 8:20pm to 41°F at 8:45pm...so 23°F in 25 minutes. DCA just gusted to 68mph as the temperature dropped from 63°F @ 9:00pm to 47°F just 12 minutes later at 9:12pm. Serious cold front!

Last week, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis. Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work, and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks. I am grateful to have an outstanding team of doctors who detected the cancer early and are guiding my care, and I am encouraged by a very good prognosis. I am also deeply thankful for the support and encouragement of President Trump as I undergo treatment and continue serving in my role as White House Chief of Staff.

Reporter: There was another report that the Ayatollah may actually be gay. How do you determine what's true?  Trump: Well, so far nobody knows.

@POTUS Final Q I got was about American troops on the ground in Iran and whether he sees that happening: "I don't wanna say that." When I asked if his thinking has changed on that issue, he said, "No it's not changed" -but he just didn't want to discuss strategy with a reporter.

Ali Khamenei suspected, and it was a reason he didn't favor son as successor, sources said @JenniferJJacobs reported Sunday 'the father was aware that his son had issues in his personal life' 2008 WikiLeaks file said Mojtaba married late due to impotence nypost.com/2026/03/16/us-…

This may sound implausible, but the intel is 'from one of the most protected sources that the government has,' IC officials told me Mojtaba allegedly has had a long-term romantic relationship with his former tutor and made other sexual advances toward men nypost.com/2026/03/16/us-…

Scoop: President Trump was briefed last week on surprising US intelligence that Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay Trump laughed, as did others. But two intelligence community officials say it wasn't a joke nypost.com/2026/03/16/us-…
