@lfmhpj @JonahDispatch NATO is a defense alliance. Not an offensive war of choice alliance.

@JonahDispatch If its an alliance then Trump isn't "asking for help". He is expecting them to do what they had agreed to and already cashed checks to do.

Sorry, Ari. I just saw your response. I think it is hilarious that rather than actually respond to my point, you simply opted to double down on your practice of carrying water for Trump like a modern-day Gunga Din. I think it's great that NATO is spending more on defense. I think Trump can be commended for encouraging it (though the turd-polishing of some folks on this front is often embarrassing. He primarily didn't do it to "save" NATO or even to make it stronger). But all of this is irrelevant to the point you dodged. If you think Trump has handled the transatlantic alliance well since being elected to his second term, say so. Own it. Don't deflect. But if that is your position, that's pure idiocy or dishonest spin. Our NATO allies *should* step up. It would be in their interest. But Trump has made the politics of that near-impossible by threatening Greenland, claiming that our allies didn't really fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, (not Vance's Munich performance, dicking around with Ukraine) etc. Even the far right (outside of Hungary) parties hate Trump now. Then, when Trump launched this war on Iran he said he didn't need any of their help because we already won. Now, he's asking for help, but he can't concede error or even ask nicely. So he implies their all cowards who need to muster "delayed courage." Defend that Ari. Hell simply acknowledge it.

@EricLDaugh What took them so long?

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sec. Marco Rubio just CANCELED the legal status of slain Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani's family members living in the US They're now in ICE custody, pending DEPORTATION. 🔥 Long overdue, thank you Marco! 🇺🇸 RUBIO: "Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living in lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes." 🔥

@KeenanPeachy lol

The only reason Project Hail Mary even exists as a bestselling novel and blockbuster movie is because Andy Weir, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller were old enough to avoid the DEI white male creative purge that hit AFTER they had already established their careers. Lord & Miller met at Dartmouth. Michael Eisner saw something they made written about in the Dartmouth student newspaper and hired them for their first Hollywood job right out of college. That chain of success was severed for all time, starting with DEI college admissions and the new hiring/scouting rules. A white male studio exec giving an Ivy League white male writing team their big break? That is just not happening anymore, at all.

@mehdirhasan Even if you don't like the war, who is going to march to save the Iranian theological dictatorship?

Where are the big antiwar marches and protests this time round? Both in America and globally?

@ByronYork Trump is still retarded.

What percentage of the American population was born after the Iranian hostage crisis? Varying estimates, but appears to be between 60 and 65 percent.

@SlangsOnSports @Buster_ESPN Going to be an amazing dodger.

At 19 years and 344 days, Konnor Griffin is the youngest Pirates player with a hit in his MLB debut since Bill Mazeroski at 19y 306d on 7/7/56

When Chris Christie fell in love with Bill Clinton...

@Kurrco Bad singer

Ye had 80,000 people singing "Heartless" with him at SoFi Stadium 🤯 "That's what 80,000 people sound like ladies and gentlemen... they said I'd never be back in the states. Two sold-out concerts."

The casuistry here is remarkable. This is the simple reality: Like most Americans, most Europeans think this war is a bad idea.Their governments are being asked to take a huge risk by a man who has proved unreliable, volatile and intemperate over and over. Who would do that?

@NewsPolitics Not her fault that hegseth and Trump are retarded.

Any idea when Fox’s Jennifer Griffin is finally gonna take that job with MSNOW?

@mattvanswol Wtf are you talking about, dork.

Somewhere along the way we decided this wasn't worth saving. I want my country back.

@TheSteinLine A function of the deepest draft in decades, supposedly?

Wrote earlier today about all the lopsided scores throughout the NBA and a March that can be credibly described as the least competitive month in league history: tinyurl.com/4m4pfm26 Up to 88 30-point games and counting now to set a new single-season record.

@ChuckFBass Tries to be funny. Fails.

America is so in love with the land of the rising sun right now that we got Japanese PTI

Russian losses this March have reached their highest level since the start of the war: our drone strikes alone resulted in 33,988 Russian servicemembers killed or seriously wounded, while artillery and other strikes eliminated another 1,363 Russian occupiers. That means more than 35,000 Russian losses in just one month – and these are clearly verified losses. We have video documentation of every such strike in our system. I thank all our warriors for their precision. I will especially recognize the warriors of the Special Operations Center “A” of Ukraine’s Security Service, the “Magyar's Birds,” the State Border Guard Service special unit “Phoenix,” “Lasar’s Group,” and the 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade – these are the most effective units in the use of drones. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov, briefed me on the performance of all units at the front. We have clear and verified reports for every direction and every type of strike. We are ready to provide the relevant data to our partners. Essentially, Ukraine’s Defense and Security Forces have denied the occupier the ability to dictate the situation on the front line. Importantly, the results in the destruction of Russia’s air defense systems have also significantly increased, with 274 such systems hit in March alone. There have also been tangible results in the destruction of Russian depots and military logistics. The Ministry of Defense, together with the Armed Forces, will present a detailed report to the public for March – data that may be made public. I also approved with the Minister today a number of tasks for the coming weeks. In particular, we are preparing decisions to strengthen the Ukrainian infantry, the army contract system, and measures to address AWOL cases – measures that must genuinely work in practice. We are also preparing decisions to scale up the export opportunities of our weapons manufacturers and joint productions with partners. I thank our Defense Forces for the results! Glory to Ukraine!

@TVNewsNow lol

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Marc Thiessen has a GENIUS PLAN to fund the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz: “I think what President Trump ought to do is have a Hormuz Transit Tariff.” “Instead of Iran charging $2M per vessel going through the Strait, the U.S. will charge a $2M escort fee for every vessel — which is about $9B a month or $100B in revenue.” “We will waive that fee for any country that participates in the coalition to open up the Strait.” “That will open it and reward the good guys that are helping us and punish those staying on the sidelines,” @marcthiessen tells @BretBaier.

@jnoe33 @espn lol. You don't even know what happened.

@espn Sumin about geno doing that to a black woman rubbed me the wrong way

Geno Auriemma went back to the locker room before the handshake line after South Carolina's win over UConn.

@dilanesper @ASFleischman Rare Scalia W

I'm going to keep saying this because people don't get it. Scalia literally refused to join footnotes or sections of opinions that cited legislative history. This wasn't a subtle, nuanced position of what you could and couldn't use it for. He thought floor statements worthless.

@Samwright565026 @russhjelm @bmarcello @CBSSports @JTalty @chris_hummer @mzenitz @CBSSportsCFB @CBSSportsCBB @ShehanJeyarajah @TomFornelli @RJ_cfb Lol

@russhjelm @bmarcello @CBSSports @JTalty @chris_hummer @mzenitz @CBSSportsCFB @CBSSportsCBB @ShehanJeyarajah @TomFornelli @RJ_cfb I’ll answer how much Federal funding goes to Colleges? It’s called oversight

BREAKING: President Trump's executive order on college sports is expected as early as this afternoon, sources tell @CBSSports. Key directives on player eligibility and movement: 5 years to play 5 seasons and one free undergraduate transfer. Story: cbssports.com/college-footba…

@MikeJones8912 @bmarcello @Bucknuts247 @CBSSports @JTalty @chris_hummer @mzenitz @CBSSportsCFB @CBSSportsCBB @ShehanJeyarajah @TomFornelli @RJ_cfb lol

@bmarcello @Bucknuts247 @CBSSports @JTalty @chris_hummer @mzenitz @CBSSportsCFB @CBSSportsCBB @ShehanJeyarajah @TomFornelli @RJ_cfb The NCAA should’ve taken care of this before the president had to get involved. Barack Obama is the one who ruined college sports, allowing them to get paid.

@BabakTaghvaee1 Thanks to Joe Biden for rebuilding our military and keeping it strong.

BREAKING: According to CENTCOM, the second U.S. Air Force CSAR team sent into Iran to rescue the crew of the downed F-15E of the 494th Fighter Squadron has successfully located and rescued the second crew member. He ejected, survived the crash, and is now safe in Iraq. This is good news for the 48th Fighter Wing community at RAF Lakenheath—both crew members of the downed F-15E are now safe. Also, the crew members of the second HH-60W helicopter involved in the rescue operation of the second crew member, which was shot upon by means of MANPADS, are also safe. Left video below shows the second HC-130J involved in this operation over Khark Island and the right video shows the first one near Yasuj. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar
