@MZHemingway @JakeSherman Your guy literally rioted like a pussy when he lost an election

@JakeSherman You have to have a heart of stone to not laugh at the melodrama of seeing entrenched politicians’ heartache at losing what they clearly think of as lifetime appointments

SENATE REPUBLICANS are giving a standing ovation in their closed lunch to Sen. BILL CASSIDY, the Louisiana Republican who lost his primary over the weekend. Trump endorsed Rep. JULIA LETLOW, the top vote getter who will advance to a runoff with former Rep. JOHN FLEMING.

@RadioFreeTom lol you are a dope who got fooled by a fake transcript

@BillMelugin_ @ReichlinMelnick - what's the response here? This is an interesting exchange to track.

President Biden created the CHNV migrant flights mass parole program which allowed 30,000 migrants to fly into the U.S. every month (not on taxpayer dime) for 2 year humanitarian parole grants, totaling over 500,000 migrants. But they never left, and the DHS Inspector General found the Biden admin wasn’t even tracking their parole expiration & certainly wasn’t enforcing it. There was also no vetting of their sponsors and widespread fraud was found in the program, leading the Biden admin to temporarily pause it. One Haitian man who flew into JFK airport as part of the program was supposed to be with his listed sponsor in New Jersey, but he ended up in a migrant hotel outside of Boston where he was convicted of raping a young girl in the hotel. This program didn’t exist before Biden, so yes, Biden quite literally allowed more than half a million migrants to circumvent the border and fly into the US outside of the normal visa or legal immigration process, and the large majority of them are still here well past the expiration of their 2 year parole grants.

@bonchieredstate Achilles in the Odyssey is pretty broken down. Believe he only appears in hell. He's a shell of his living form. I normally hate the woke stuff but Page could work here. Nolan is a pro, it'll be fine.

Surely, this isn't true. I get that Hollywood is nuts, but putting a five foot, 100 pound woman in the role of Achilles, one of the most feared warriors in mythology, seems even too crazy for them.

@Birdyword Praying for the Economist when Iran loses this war. Gonna be a somber newsroom.

Do you ever look at the S&P and just wonder what might be going on in the parallel world with no Liberation Day and no Iran War

@HarrisSockel @EWErickson - I respect you so I humbly ask that you look at the specific circumstances of these people and their roles. One was an administrative assistant. They are very tenuous connections spread across massive government networks, there is no pattern or significance here.

10 US defense or NASA scientists have mysteriously died or gone missing over the last year... and most people aren't talking about it because they don't want to sound crazy

@TheProjectUnity Looks like that to retards, totally.

This really looks like a wetworks operation now.

@SellersCounsel Fair, agreed 150k is low. By 20 paths though you're just saying "lots of in house opps", right? Or do you actually mean you see a lot of paths in ops/outside law?

@cornquistador IME BigLaw 5th years typically have about 20 different paths to making $200k plus a year

I always chuckle when I see a company post a job listing for a corporate counsel with 5+ years of BigLaw experience and a starting salary of $150,000. Like, you know that’s over a 50% pay cut for them, right?

@isaacinthesky thanks!

@cornquistador I think he's primarily famous as a database researcher!

> Peter Bailis > CTO of workday if this is primarily what you know him you're ngmi lol

@Noahpinion Have you been paying attention the last six weeks? Israel is our ONLY good and helpful ally.

For what it's worth, I think America should cancel its alliance with Israel, which is obviously a bad and unhelpful ally. But unlike leftists and rightists, I don't actually think canceling it will fix any of our fundamental problems, or help people in Gaza.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews So does he serve a full sentence in Haiti once ICE deports him, or does ICE just drop him off to walk free in Haiti? Feel like he should be punished, not given a ride home.

BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that the suspect charged w/ murdering an innocent gas station clerk in Fort Meyers, FL by bludgeoning her to death with a hammer is a Haitian illegal alien who was caught & released at the border by the Biden admin in 2022. An immigration judge ordered Rolbert Joachim deported from the U.S. later that same year, but DHS says the Biden admin shielded him from deportation by granting him Temporary Protected Status, which expired in 2024. There is an extremely graphic video of the April 3rd killing on social media. Joachim is seen hitting a vehicle with a hammer in the parking lot of the gas station. The clerk comes out to confront him, he walks right at her, and with full strength, he bludgeons her in the head with the hammer. She falls down unconscious and he crushes her head with the hammer 6 more times.  He is now in local custody and ICE has placed a detainer on him. DHS statement to FOX: “This illegal alien barbarically hit this woman in the head multiple times with a hammer. This heinous murderer was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Not only did the Biden administration release him into the country, but they then gave him temporary protected status. Their reckless immigration policies cost this woman her life,” said Acting Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis.

@avidseries @MattWalshBlog I/o - have you ever dug into the argument that modern science (our ability to save victims that would have died 50 years ago from the same crime) artificially deflates modern crime statistics? Wouldn't that just occur in murder but not other crimes?

@MattWalshBlog "Our cities aren't safe." Our cities now are the safest they have been in about a half-century.

Americans are suffering. It is way too expensive just to live for most families. Our cities aren’t safe. Our country is being transformed every day by foreign migration. Our elections aren’t secure. The SAVE act was not passed and won’t be passed. It’s time to end this war in Iran and focus on our country, our people, our future. Far too much of Trump’s second term has been spent on foreign adventures. It has to end. Turn the attention back home.

@ArmsControlWonk Honest question - did the JCPOA limit Iran's ballistic missile program? If not, then what was the plan when Iran amassed so many missiles that they would serve as an effective deterrent against any attempt to destroy a nuke program, if Iran decided to get one?

Experts who supported what became the JCPOA did so overwhelmingly because we did not wish to see Iran acquire a nuclear weapon, something that now seems certain if the regime survives. He's ignored these arguments for two decades, no surprise he still ignores them.

@kc8867 @JamesWebb_16 lol god imagine how insufferable you’d be if we were actually losing a war

I just heard from a source very close to top of the White House that, following today’s shootdown of an F-15, an A-10, and the successful hits on multiple helicopters and other aircraft, the WH is choosing further escalation, including US troops on the ground. This would be madness. I truly hope that someone in the Pentagon or elsewhere can prevent this from happening. If anything was proven today, it’s that Iranian AD is still very capable and very intact. Any US ground operation will be heavily reliant on helicopters and other slow-moving airframes. Despite the assertions of both the Pentagon and POTUS, it is crystal clear that we have not reduced Iranian AD to the point where a ground operation is even a remotely wise decision. Let alone potentially inserting by air and then being exclusively reliant on an air corridor for things such as resupply and CASEVAC. History is replete with examples where this reliance has been disastrous. Further, the hard part would be after troops were on the objective. Our lack of manpower leaves little room for maneuver, and once static (which would be required), Americans will become a stationary target for the entire inventory of Iranian indirect fire capabilities on Iranian soil, and it is a recipe for failure. Simply put, this is not an existential war for the US's survival. It’s a war of choice that should never have happened in the first place, and POTUS should be finding a way out, rather than clumsily and recklessly sacrificing America’s finest.

@calvinfroedge I dunno man seems like we're massively winning, compared to any previous war in human history. We have a hot hand, in your analogy.

I feel like the Maduro capture success coming so early was sort of like the trader who hits it big on his first bet and starts thinking he's invincible What follows is hubris being slowly overcome by a margin call Iran is our margin call

@TimmyFacciola_ But catholics *haven't* been to church before.

This is verging on Protestant, let’s have a little composure—act like you’ve been here before

@jakebrodes @willmenaker I know what joke you’re going for but you didn’t land it. Why would it pick up with “total lethality” at market open for the week? To intentionally tank stocks?

The Iran war slows down and ends every Friday at 5 and then picks back up with “total lethality” or whatever Monday at 9 am. The first 9-5 War in recorded human history

@gbrl_dick To be fair, the Lion's allies haven't concerned themselves with their own energy supply chains in decades.

the lion does not concern himself with the energy supply chains of his allies
