@AmericaFirstCon Either way, 2028 will be sold as the “rejection” of MAGA/America First. Which you can argue it’s by design.
JD will never be the nominee.

Vice President JD Vance is reportedly considering not running for President in 2028 because the polls are looking so bad for Republicans and he believes Trump's war in Iran has likely made the race unwinnable. He likely would prefer Secretary of State Marco Rubio to be the John McCain sacrificial lamb to go down to a landslide defeat so he can run as the GOP's savior in 2032 to bring them back from political oblivion.

JD Vance’s presidential hopes may be slipping Trump: “If the Iran deal doesn’t happen, I’m blaming JD Vance. If it does, I’m taking full credit.”

@tparsi There had to be a different speech that for some policy/planning/logistics reasons was pulled and Trump just gave an off the cuff talk rather than canceling the event. Moving all that extra A10 suggests some type of boots on the ground operation.
English
By telling us nothing he hasn't already said, Trump made it abundantly clear that he has no plan.
This Iran war continues to be improvised...
English
@BabakHassibi This is where AI gets to be very interesting. Making them small enough so embedding them in everyday devices. Obvious example is what we’re already seeing in Russia-Ukraine war. This can make these drones even smarter. Also iPhone will finally have a great autocorrect 🤷♂️

Today I feel very proud and am honored to introduce PrismML.
This company grew out of years of research at Caltech and a simple conviction: the future of AI will not be defined only by ever-growing models. It will be defined by intelligence density - how much useful intelligence we can deliver per unit of compute, memory, and energy.
At PrismML, we seek to build the most concentrated form of intelligence. Our first proof point is the 1-bit Bonsai family: models that are small, fast, and efficient enough to run locally, while remaining competitive with full-precision models in their class.
We see this not as an endpoint, but as the beginning of a new paradigm for AI, one that expands where intelligence can exist: on-device, at the edge, in the cloud, and in entirely new products and systems.
We are excited to begin sharing that vision.
PrismML@PrismML
Today, we are emerging from stealth and launching PrismML, an AI lab with Caltech origins that is centered on building the most concentrated form of intelligence. At PrismML, we believe that the next major leaps in AI will be driven by order-of-magnitude improvements in intelligence density, not just sheer parameter count. Our first proof point is the 1-bit Bonsai 8B, a 1-bit weight model that fits into 1.15 GBs of memory and delivers over 10x the intelligence density of its full-precision counterparts. It is 14x smaller, 8x faster, and 5x more energy efficient on edge hardware while remaining competitive with other models in its parameter-class. We are open-sourcing the model under Apache 2.0 license, along with Bonsai 4B and 1.7B models. When advanced models become small, fast, and efficient enough to run locally, the design space for AI changes immediately. We believe in a future of on-device agents, real-time robotics, offline intelligence and entirely new products that were previously impossible. We are excited to share our vision with you and keep working in the future to push the frontier of intelligence to the edge.

@RobertBluey @alexahenning #5 BIG TAKEAWAY - Gabbard showed she was the most poised, calm, intelligent and professional inside that entire building. Watching her take down every heated exchange with equanimity should make everyone feel reassured about the security of our country under her leadership 🇺🇸

4 BIG TAKEAWAYS FROM TULSI GABBARD’S TESTIMONY ON CAPITOL HILL (The Daily Signal)
The House Committee on Intelligence interrogated Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Thursday over the conflict with Iran, looking to to pin the intelligence chiefs down on President Donald Trump’s plans in the ongoing military campaign against Iran.
In the hearing to probe threats to America around the world, Gabbard sparred with Democrats over the politicization of intelligence, Israel’s role in the ongoing conflict with Iran, Trump’s decision making, and foreign election interference.

The Iranians are more than happy to oblige him. He will be remembered as a failed president. This is very sad to see it all end like this. A decade of my time supporting him has collapsed into this. And I am just despondent.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Israeli Haaretz reports that Trump has decided to go to the end in his war with the regime in Iran until it falls He no longer listens to the advice of his advisors, and difficult days are coming for the world.

@esaagar I disagree! I understand why he did it, but his position is most needed now more than ever when we face retaliatory attacks, real or false. I want patriots like him in critical positions that I believe and trust to keep us safe.

Real American heroism
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19
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.

@alon_mizrahi Who is next in the line of leadership by Israeli constitution? I understand the PR reasons of not revealing PM’s death, but you can’t break the law and not have the legal succession take place. Unless he’s incapacitated but not dead so the Israeli government is in a limbo.
English
And I'm beginning to think he is dead. If he was sick or wounded, they would have said that, or try some medical lie. But this is total chaos

@KimIversenShow @thevivafrei 🤦♂️It’s so easy! Curl your fingers and look at them in the mirror or use your phone to take a video. There’s nothing unusual. We’ve evolved to grasp things with our fingers without one getting on the way.
English
The “Netanyahu is dead”, “he has six fingers” is proving to be an IQ test.
The image that is being widely circulated is a pixelated image from a lower quality version of this original video.
It is a pixelated image from a lower quality video at a moment when the hand is in motion, and therefore even more blurred.
If you watch this original video and think it is AI, we can agree to disagree.
But if you came to your conclusions without even having compared it to the original video, you are failing the IQ test.

@WeTheBrandon I put money in it that China will not invade Taiwan 🇹🇼.
They won’t need to. They’ll wait until we bankrupt ourselves and taiwan will just willingly do a Hong Kong arrangement.
English
Why not? The Iranians are beating the US military at the STRATEGIC level. If they can do it, Beijing probably thinks "why not us?"

🚨🇨🇳🇹🇼 Beijing rehearsing Taiwan invasion? 2,000 Chinese boats formed 2 giant barricades across the East China Sea, each 400km long. They're definitely not fishing.

@ethanagarwal Honestly, I don’t believe you’re running to win. Everything I’ve seen from you tells me you’re an astute political operator. Yet, none of that political savvy is coming across on your social media.
I’m guessing you’re just here to open a “second front”. Convince me I’m wrong.

What does Epstein have to do with Iran?
You’re the only one making this connection, for your personal political ambitions.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
Trump ran on a platform of affordability fueled by populist anger toward the elites. Now he's protecting the Epstein class by failing to release the files and launching a costly war with Iran. My op-ed in @mercnews on what this means: mercurynews.com/2026/03/12/kha…
English
@marwilliamson It’s the militarization of patriotism. Patriotism above all is about service to the country. We need to thank our teachers, firefighters, police officers, utility workers, etc. for their service as we do men/women in uniform.
English
This catastrophe did not come out of nowhere, and it didn’t even originate with Donald Trump. There has been a 50 year slide toward the militarization of foreign policy, the diminishment of focus and resources in the direction of diplomacy, to the point where serious peace-building efforts were considered quaint and unserious.
There’s no guarantee that America will get out of this mess without going through a serious reckoning, but we need to do more than brace ourselves for that. We need to think deeply about what all this means and how we got here, learn the lessons of our own history, and be prepared to rebuild this country on a more humble and just foundation when we have the chance.
English
@DanielLMcAdams @WeTheBrandon That’s been my biggest concern as well. Too many assets to manage and coordinate for too long. Mental fatigue and human error alone will lead to unnecessary loses of our men.
English
@WeTheBrandon I think we will start seeing significant losses like this just about every day. There are just too many resources deployed and too many contingencies that can take them out. It will be a death of a thousand (or maybe hundred or dozen) cuts for this Administration.

To all who cheerled this war on: this is on you.

@pati_marins64 They said the same thing about Russia running out. They adapted. US will adapt too. We’ll drop JDAMs with a lot more lethality.
America’s biggest shortage is time not ammo. President wants to wrap this up before midterm elections.
English
A Financial Times article revealing what I announced a few days ago about ammunition running out rapidly and acting as a limiting factor, along with the interceptors.
Now imagine the scenario in which Iran still retains the bulk of its arsenal underground, protected in bunkers, while the US-Israel coalition has low stocks of missiles and bombs, as well as interceptors that it had to procure from Asia.

English
@WeTheBrandon There’s only one person in the administration who truly America First and is in the position to stop it.
Now we can assume why there’s been a coordinated effort to marginalize and push that person into resignation.
English
@pati_marins64 Iran can’t be sanctioned anymore, but US or Israeli voters are not used to prolonged financial hardship. Which might force the hand of President Trump.
English
@pati_marins64 I was very skeptical of your analysis. Especially using “asymmetrical” to dismiss US’ military superiority.
Now, I’m thinking you had a point. War is ultimately a treasury fight and that’s the mullah’s calculus. Israel & US are more sensitive to financial disruptions than iran.

The ghost of defeat begins to haunt
Anyone who has been following me for several days will have seen that I’ve been tracking and repeating this same perception, which has now been published today by several major American newspapers.
And I’ll go even further: The US-Israel alliance is suffering a defeat the likes of which hasn’t been seen in a very long time.
The number of hospitalized people in Israel has risen to nearly 2,500, which reflects the scale of the Iranian response. Unfortunately, the vast majority are civilians, just as they are in Iran.
Air-defense batteries are being rushed in from Asia because Iran has destroyed or severely damaged several radars that are critical to these systems. Interceptors are also being urgently flown in from Asian countries.
150 American soldiers have been wounded and 7 have been killed so far.
Around 30 expensive Israel-US drones have been lost.
Billion-dollar damage has been inflicted on bases across the region, as well as on satellite communication systems in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Israel.
Iran has been launching missiles across 7 fronts for 11 straight days, day and night, with no sign of stopping.
And what are the US and Israel doing in response? The exact same thing: dropping bombs on Iran. Do you know what this has changed in the conflict? Absolutely nothing.
Iran remains resilient in the face of these airstrikes, which so far have destroyed only a small portion of its arsenal.
But if Iran isn’t winning on the damage game, where exactly is it winning?
In an asymmetric war, you don’t need to dispute the damage on the front line , you just need to be resilient and exhaust your opponent, because he will eventually be consumed by “the pressure and critics”.
Iran has thousands of modern drone and of many types and models to secure the strait, along with a large stockpile of anti-ship missiles.
I see no realistic chance of Iran losing the Strait of Hormuz now or at any other point in this war. For that to happen, there would need to be a massive ground invasion, and it would have to actually succeed.
Meanwhile, Iran is not only striking on 7 fronts but is also enforcing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
What cards do the US and Israel still have left when it comes to forcing Iran’s surrender?
Only the nuclear option. But I don’t believe there’s even the political atmosphere to seriously consider that.
If the strait is actually mined, Iran will have taken one more decisive step toward checkmate against the Israel-US coalition.
Can Iran’s arsenal sustain a prolonged conflict?
My estimate is that they have already fired 2,000–2,500 missiles and still have at least 10 times that number left in the 300-2,000 km range. ( considering the years of production and the industrial size)
I do not see Iran being defeated due to a lack of missiles, at least at this moment.
