@MarioNawfal @Peoples_Pundit Yea. Their plan is to let Trump blow them to pieces and destroy their economy and wait for the last laugh. Maybe the Islamic Republic is even dumber than we are?

Trump's Fmr. Lawyer Robert Barnes says Trump thinks he's escalating to make Iran capitulate, but in reality, Tehran has learned how to play him. That is what makes this moment so dangerous. Trump appears to believe the war can still be ended quickly if he just applies a little more pressure and moves further up the escalation ladder. Then wait for Iran to surrender, but Robert says Iran is never going to give him that. For Trump, this is a war he wants to finish on favorable terms; for Iran, it's existential. That means Washington and Tehran are not operating with the same tolerance for pain, the same timeline, or the same definition of victory. And Tehran now understands the man across the table better than he understands himself. Iran has watched Trump repeatedly convince himself that another strike will finally produce the submission the previous strikes failed to achieve. Then, when the opposite happens, he becomes frustrated and escalates again. Iran appears to be exploiting that weakness with a disciplined tit-for-tat strategy rather than random escalation or total war. Each move raises the cost without immediately giving Trump the clean pretext he might want for unlimited escalation. Robert thinks Iran is studying his psychology and asking one question before every major action: Will this provoke him too early, or will it punish and humiliate him at exactly the right moment? That distinction is crucial because humiliation may be Trump’s greatest vulnerability. @barnes_law

@jkbjournalist Also think how easy it would be to bust the rampant government fraud going on if they really wanted to.

If the FBI could dismantle the American mob, using the RICO law and giving immunity to low level informants, and investigating the money trail, why can’t Todd Blanche and Kash Patel put the weight of the DOJ and FBI to investigate the Epstein organization? This is absurd.

@LoJackson94 They can also learn about reducing stoppage. Make your ad money some other way.

@OdellBretthamJr Too bad they didn’t have a good tv spot going for the championship highlighting everything that went into pulling it off.

Michigan State University is changing the way sports are being played around the globe. Our turfgrass will save careers, lead to better games, and frankly make sports look even more beautiful with our Spartan green grass on every TV on the globe. Go Green Grow Green!

@reporterdavidj I’m glad he’s back. No issue with him.

Kevin Guskiewicz Is Back at Michigan State. Is Anyone Happy? chronicle.com/article/kevin-…

@samueljrob What’s the slightest bit unusual about these type of ads?

The Black Detroiters Instagram page, followed by 165K people, just shared these images accusing “foreign lobbies and corporate interests” supporting U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens of misleading Black voters over the Obama ads.

@SeiderSalad @DetroitRedWings “Deserved” ? He was given plenty for his past contributions as a player. Disaster as GM.

@DetroitRedWings I can see why this would happen, but I also think he deserved a chance to win the Larkin battle

An update from the Detroit Red Wings. Read more » bit.ly/0715update_

@realfbllliason His leverage is to play one more year then sign an even bigger offer sheet that makes him and UFA sooner than they want when they won’t have cap space.

Well then Cutter Gauthier can enjoy surfing this season because he won’t be playing hockey! He has zero leverage and the Ducks will not pay 18 million for a winger

@realfbllliason You are correct except his “patient” is Leo. And if Leo says he can talk then he can. He seemed to be offering some cover to Anaheim imo.

I personally have a real problem with the agent of Leo Carlsson coming out and talking about the deal with the Anaheim Ducks! That should be done behind closed doors just like a doctor shouldn’t be able to talk about his patient #FlyTogether

@wrhiv_72 Solid job by those announcers

Eduardo Valencia comes off the bench and homers in his first major league at bat, called by Chris Caray and Ken Korach for KSTE in Sacramento, and KNEW in Oakland: #DNMW       #RepDetroit

@intrinsicvalyou @DavidHarns They probably said we will give you 4 or you can have him back.

@DavidHarns So MSU is losing out on the $5m? Why?

Negotiated settlement, as predicted. ... "UK will pay Michigan State $3.95 million between now and July 1, 2027 under the terms of Batt’s contract. The transition process will continue in the weeks ahead before Batt arrives in Lexington on July 28."

@BenVerlander You aren’t winning the World Series and then he leaves for nothing.

The Detroit Tigers finish the day 5.5 GB in the AL Central and 4.5 GB of a playoff spot. Don’t trade Skubal. The division is extremely winnable. The AL is weak. Go for it.

@TomLeonard28 Idk. I’m sure they explained it. Maybe they are spending more to keep electricians or trained workers ? Are you against that ? Maybe the cost of goods needed to upgrade equipment has risen ? Why don’t you look into it.

DTE recently received a $242 million rate hike and is now asking for $474 million more. Consumers got a $276 million rate increase and now want another $456 million. Each increase would be nearly 10%. How is this justified?

@ChrisDiFran3 Why would they not analyze it to death before deciding?

With each day that passes, I become more convinced the #Ducks are not going to match Leo Carlsson’s offer sheet. If they were completely comfortable matching from Day 1, I’m not convinced we’d still be waiting.

@RinkyReport Unless the owner made the decision.

An executive to Greg Wyshynski : “I really think this is a decision that could cost him his job.”👀 The exec is essentially saying that no matter which way it goes, how Verbeek handled this whole situation the tough negotiations with multiple young RFAs, plus a public promise he might not be able to keep could be enough to get him fired, regardless of the final Carlsson verdict Sounds like the clock's ticking Pat! #NHL #OfferSheet #FlyTogether #LetsGoFlyers

@JD_Jerbear True but he was the best in the business at the time

No ill will to Hollis but it reeks of missing our glory days and chasing that high If it was any other AD out of the game for a decade there would be 0.0 interest in them as a candidate. I'd love him back ion the fold but not as THE guy

@KeithSmithNBA Don’t give any contract you can’t trade. If he’s 24 years old and untradeable for anything of value then he’s not worth it.

Factoring in the reported contracts for John Collins, Kevin Huerter & Javonte Green and the Gary Harris/Taurean Prince acquisitions, I've got the Pistons at about $42.8M under the luxury tax. That's enough room to give Jalen Duren a 25% of the cap max without going into the tax.

@LarryWilliamsTI @wyffnews4 Kid had a cookout so he’s never leaving? Just wait until some girl says hi to him.

Absolute gold from a brand-new Clemson student to @wyffnews4: “I’ve been in South Carolina for, I don’t know, six days, had Cookout. I’m never leaving. I don’t know why anyone would go to Michigan.”

@PattyMurray And he pays zero in gasoline taxes while that guy fills up his pickup everyday with massive gas tax.

Elon Musk, the literal richest man on the planet–the world’s first TRILLIONAIRE–is paying the SAME amount in Social Security taxes as an electrician who makes $185,000 a year.   That's outrageous.    We need to scrap the cap so the richest people in the world pay their fair share.
