Quite the lede from The Economist: and quite the cover. “Although President Donald Trump says he has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability”, the 0% that remains is playing havoc with the global economy.” And now quite the cover: @glcarlstrom

His name is Saleh Mohammadi, 19 years old wrestler. He was hanged today in Iran for the crime of protesting in last January and demanding💔

This is wild. People in *every single one* of the top US allies now think it's better to depend on China than the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

@GreenblattJD @jonsopel @TheNewsAgents @realDonaldTrump Thanks for joining us @GreenblattJD - I agree these conversations are hugely important - and we really enjoyed having you on @TheNewsAgents

Tough questions. No softballs. Appreciated the conversation with @jonsopel & @maitlis on @TheNewsAgents where they’re clearly no fans of @realdonaldtrump, and that’s ok. The most important conversations happen across disagreement. I shared my perspective on President Trump and the war against the Iranian regime. Watch. Decide for yourself.

“That’s a crazy thought.” Me - @GreenblattJD - to @maitlis on @TheNewsAgents

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

Too many are too polite to say this …but give your head a wobble Nick! London rightly hosts Diwali, Vaisakhi, Chanukah and in a few weeks Easter celebrations But this nonsense of singling out Muslims at an Iftaar open to all Londoners as exceptional is just bigotry. Faith leaders must call out this nonsense from politicians who seem committed to causing hate and division.

Ireland's Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, showing admirable clarity and some courage in gently correcting Trump here about Starmer. Thankyou and Happy St. Patrick's Day.

🚨HELLL YEAHH!! 💪🇺🇸Thomas Massie just revealed his nuclear option. If Pam Bondi’s DOJ refuses to unredact the Epstein client names — Massie will walk onto the House floor and read them publicly himself. Under congressional immunity. No prosecution. No injunction. No seal that can hold. The names would be in the Congressional Record forever. This is the same Massie that Trump is trying to primary “violently and miserably.” The same Massie who said from the House floor that the Speaker, AG, FBI Director, President and VP could have spared the party humiliation on Epstein months ago. The same Massie who has been the loudest voice demanding full release since day one. The Deputy AG admitted withholding footage of “death, physical abuse, and injury.” Half of 6 million documents remain sealed. Trump started a war the same week the names were supposed to drop. Bondi said “DOJ is done.” Massie said: then I’ll finish it. A prison guard who was there the night Epstein died testifies before Congress this month. The nuclear option is on the table. Never stop connecting the dots.

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.

🚨🚨🚨First senior Trump administration official resigning over the war with Iran

Ahh this explains so much ! 👀

Texans are ready for a new kind of politics.

@ChristopherHale @CarriePrejean1 Love from Scotland ...

Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed in President Trump's military strikes — on its front page.

Makes me sick to my stomach.

Last night I was able to tell five women from the Iranian Women’s Soccer team that they are welcome to stay in Australia, to be safe and have a home here.

This feels an important story right now - the Iranian women’s football team in Australia - called “ traitors “ by the regime at home .. who are now scared to return .. Australia…? share.google/uyCVPu0CfNL639…

Hearing from the formidable @maitlis and @msamywallace at @SydOperaHouse was the most fitting way to mark International Women’s Day. #AllAboutWomen
