@ArtCandee The only reason Bibi gave Trump permission to announce this is so that the IDF can rotate reservists, consolidate its gains, resupply, and prepare for the next phase of its Lebanon buffer zone plan.

Donald Trump claims there will be a 10 day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. He says it will be announced after the markets close. I’ll believe it when I see it.

@RpsAgainstTrump I guess he got permission from Bibi; Israel needed time to consolidate, rotate reservists and resupply.

Trump says Israel and Lebanon “will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST.”

@ArtCandee Bad weekend for Trump keeps getting worse with the Orban news. Guess it is time to sue Harvard again.

Donald trying to throw shade on Bruce Springsteen when he’s looking like this? 🙄

@RpsAgainstTrump A blockade is an act of war, which was why Kennedy imposed a “quarantine” during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Not that it will matter to the Quislings in Congress. Are those two DDGs still inside the Gulf?

Trump: Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

@ArtCandee Who is worse, Vance or Hegseth? I’d say Vance, because he knows better. Hegseth is dumb as a post and actually believes his own bullshit.

JD Vance is an absolute embarrassment.

@HiddenHistoryYT CV-6 for USA; Warspite for RN.

If you could stop 1 ship from being scrapped, what would it be?

@CarolLeonnig @bresreports Looking at those carpet squares is causing me some PTSD. Same stuff at EPA.

How DOJers are feeling about Pam Bondi firing.

@ArtCandee The Springsteen tour will build momentum over the next two months, and Bruce will be living rent free in Trump and MAGA heads throughout. The finale at Nats Park will be epic. I'll be there.

Donald Trump woke up big mad about Bruce Springsteen, too. Because…priorities. 🙄

@frankthorp @bresreports The damage to NATO is already largely done, in no small part due to the silence of Republican Quislings (save Mitch McConnell).

Q: Is there an appetite in the republican conference to pull the United States out of NATO? THUNE: "I seriously doubt that." Q: The President is talking a lot about this, the administration is very critical of NATO. What would your message be to them? I mean, because it would require congressional action... THUNE: "I'm sure we have some of our members who feel that way, but I know, I think that just knowing our conference and conversations we've had in the past about this, we got an awful lot of people who think that NATO is a very critical, incredibly successful post World War Two Alliance, and that, you know, and I think in the in the world today, you need allies. So my guess is that would be the view."

@ArtCandee Thanks for watching. I just couldn't.

Donald Trump confirms in his address to the nation that his war in Iran isn't over. He threatens more war crimes.

@RpsAgainstTrump Let's see how this plays overnight in Jerusalem & Riyadh. Trump's puppet masters Bibi & MBS have some work to do tomorrow.

So. Much. Winning.

@davidicke @RpsAgainstTrump "Ich bin kein MAGA!"

Oooh, yes.

@ArtCandee Kash Patel's password: "password"

Kash Patel got hacked by Iran. Boatloads of missiles at Iran’s disposal despite what Donald Trump claims. Cheers at CPAC for Donald Trump to get impeached. House Republicans in chaos over TSA funding. Donald Trump is babbling about his ballroom. What else am I missing?

@RpsAgainstTrump His password was probably "password"

BREAKING: A DOJ official confirmed to Reuters that FBI Director Kash Patel’s emails were hacked after Iran-linked hackers claimed they breached his personal email and posted documents and photos online. Reuters couldn’t verify the emails published by the group, but a sample of the material reviewed appears to show a mix of personal and work messages from between 2010 and 2019.

@Ally_Sammarco @RpsAgainstTrump That is what happens when your password is "password".

This administration is a JOKE

@Microinteracti1 @gtconway3d Reconnaissance. We are completely unprepared. Lack of imagination on the threat we now face.

Drones Flew Over America’s Nuclear Bomber Base for a Week. Nobody Stopped Them. During the week of March 9, waves of 12-15 unidentified drones repeatedly overflew Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. The base is the command headquarters for Air Force Global Strike Command, responsible for America’s entire strategic bomber force, including B-52s capable of carrying nuclear weapons. The United States was at war. The drones came anyway. According to a confidential briefing document leaked to ABC News, the drones displayed non-commercial signal characteristics, long-range control links, and resistance to jamming. They varied their routes. They left their lights on, not out of carelessness, but to monitor how the base responded. Analysts called it deliberate reconnaissance. The Air Force tried to jam them. It did not work. Barksdale issued a shelter-in-place order on March 9. Flight line operations were halted. B-52s carrying AGM-158 cruise missiles and 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs were grounded. It was the first time a U.S. air base had been temporarily put out of operation in wartime, something that never happened in World War II. The drones were assessed as far more sophisticated than anything seen in Ukraine, and well beyond Iranian capabilities. No operator has been identified. No one has been caught. The incident received limited media coverage. It happened three weeks ago.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@shiobban @anders_aslund @RpsAgainstTrump And the Iranian response to an attack on Kharg will be drone attacks on every energy facility in the Gulf. Even if you can reopen it for navigation, will be no product to ship through a reopened Strait for a very long time.

@anders_aslund @RpsAgainstTrump To do what, sit on an island and be sitting ducks for drones in a feeble attempt to get the oil flowing freely when it was freely flowing a month ago? I can’t believe my country was so stupid and greedy enough to let this man in the door.

This looks like the disastrous charge of the light brigade in the Crimean War 1864. Valiant stupidity by the commander, then Lord Cardigan, now Trump.

@MarkZuckerman TOOTBLAN there.

Nats have been charged with two errors. They've run into two outs. And they lead 7-2 in the 5th.
