The most successful air-naval campaign against Iran in history. Now in a strategic box. Iran not bluffing. Trump is. Kargh Island 400 miles from the Straits. Bad Navy/Marine option. No maneuver. Enemy attacks in seconds from air and sea.

Justice Jackson wrote a 35-page dissent in Chiles v. Salazar about how it should be constitutional to ban counselors from telling a boy he is not a girl. It was longer than Justice Gorsuch's majority opinion and Justice Kagan's concurring opinion combined.

Man who somehow managed to become CIA director/MS NOW national security guy Jon Brennan tells Jen Psaki that Iran's declining missile fire rate is actually proof of strategic genius, "Well, I think, as John pointed out, I think the Iranians have been very strategic in terms of husbanding some of their inventory of missiles, rockets, drones and others so that they would wait until a lot of the air defense capabilities in the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, even in Israel, are going to be depleted as they overwhelm some of these air defenses and pointed out how many Patriot missiles have been expended. So again, I think the Iranians are being—"

@John_Hudson Looks like he is alone too. Hmmm. MAGA right-wing have continually harassed me on X for years as a pedophile because they think I went to Disney World by myself (not that I can understand why that would be a bad thing, but it wasn't true anyway). Then again, I'm not a Senator.

@maziehirono Well, when you look at the clowns we managed to field in the US Senate, it's not that surprising

With over 340 million people in this country, you’d think we could find people grounded in reality to run our government programs. And yet, here’s another powerful official who exists on lies and conspiracy theories. America deserves better. cnn.com/2026/03/20/pol…

It is not clear whether Iran's parliament speaker was killed, but what is clear is that these targeted killings must stop. They will not bring about regime change, but they will undermine what limited prospects still exist for negotiating an acceptable end to this war.

@Bencjacobs He's committed to directing the transition to a republican form of government. I can't imagine the more difficult task nor a more flawed figure but history has made him the best man for the job and it's time to give him some leeway

The room at CPAC quickly empties after Reza Pahlavi leaves stage as the hall outside becomes packed with people with Lion and Sun flags and holding “King Reza Pahlavi” signs. It really feels like he somehow was the keynote speaker here

De Niro: Every morning when I get up, I reach for my phone to look at the headlines of the day, and for some time now, I start every morning depressed about the latest outrage from our would-be king. I mean, it’s amazing—every fucking day there’s something new and crazy, but it’s different on this day, because all over the country, in cities and towns and factories and on farms—north, south, east, west—millions of us are coming together to declare: no kings.

Question: Before US invasion, Iran sold 2.1 billion barrels of oil/day at $66/barrel = $138 billion/day 4 weeks after US invasion, Iran sold 1.5 billion barrel of oil/day at $114/barrel = $171 billion/day Experts say it will hit $200/barrel How are we defeating Iran again?

I never thought I'd write a column praising a politician. And never guessed it would be Sen. Tommy Tuberville. But his proposed bill to temper the transfer portal and eligibility is more realistic than any "Save College Sports" thing to this point. nytimes.com/athletic/71505…

HOLY CRAP! Johnny represents 45,000 TSA agents and he was given a moment to SPEAK HIS MIND and he didn't hold back for a SINGLE SECOND. "We have worked ALMOST HALF THE YEAR without being paid." Think about that. Democrats and the rest of Congress have BARELY done ANYTHING, yet they haven't missed a SINGLE PENNY of income. These agents and the rest of the people HARMED by Democrats should be able to ensure that they are DISCOURAGED from using their pain as leverage to "get Trump."
