@scottbrockman @sarahschulman3 Israel is why Hezbollah literally exists
English
Watching Israel move into Lebanon, seizing land, destroying everything, and imposing ethnic cleansing on Shia Muslims- to the extent that Druse and Christian Lebanese HIDE their Muslim neighbors- is like watching Germany roll into Czechoslovakia in 1939, while the world yawns.

@Milajoy You can’t pretend inflation started in a vacuum.
Joe Biden inherited a COVID-shattered economy from Trump — supply chains broken, demand distorted, trillions already injected.
That inflation was the aftershock of the pandemic, not created in 2021.
Grown ups take responsibility.

@McFaul But Michael we were told that the world respects us now after being laughed at.
English
I regret that some NATO allies are denying us access to our bases in their countries.
I also regret that the US president threatened to invade and annex NATO countries. This ridiculous Trump policy is obviously negatively impacting our national security now.
I hope both of these issues within NATO can be overcome soon.

Iran doesn’t even border Israel — yet it’s built a ring of proxy armies around it. Hezbollah to the north, Hamas to the south, Houthis launching missiles from Yemen.
That’s not ‘Israel as aggressor.’
That’s Iran projecting power by surrounding a country it wants gone.
English
The way Israelis keep talking as if Iran just randomly decided to victimize them with missiles -- due to anti-Semitism -- is almost impressive in its sociopathic delusion.
Israelis really believe they have the divine right to bomb and exterminate anyone with no retaliation.
Arsen Ostrovsky@Ostrov_A
🚨 As you’re going about your day, hundreds of thousand of Israelis are racing to bomb shelter, after Iran just fired another barrage of missiles, including in Tel Aviv.

@tedcruz Ok Ted as if Trump coddling Putin and threatening to invade Greenland didn’t make an impact on how Europeans see us. All of us. And especially people like you who don’t ever push back on his inanity.

The unfortunate consequences for Europe of the last month will reverberate for decades.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@mmpadellan @MaMoMVPY Makes you weirdly nostalgic for Cheney. At least he was an adult during the first Gulf war.
English
Have you ever seen a more unbalanced, unhinged, emotionally UNSTABLE person leading the Pentagon, especially during war times? I haven't.
Yelling at the press for using trump's OWN words.
Hegseth is in over his head. Impeach him, before he costs more American lives.
English
@AriFleischer @gerardtbaker Oh yes this was the straw but not that our POTUS threatened to invade and take over Greenland or coddles Putin in regards to Ukraine etc.
……be real….
English
@gerardtbaker They’re not being asked to take a huge risk. They’re simply being asked for overflight rights. If that’s too much for them then they’re not really our allies, are they?
English
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?

@acnewsitics Israeli literally absorbed Iraqi scuds on its civilian population in Gulf War 1 and risked their own lives by not firing back or getting involved in the fight for the American mission to liberate Kuwait.
Alex ?

Isreal would never risk their lives for Americans.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump's national security team is inside the West Wing RIGHT NOW while search and rescue surges for the 2nd fighter crew member in Iran
Trump is FULL hands on deck for this.

@Villgecrazylady The Holocaust didn’t happen on U.S. soil—but its impact lives here.
Genocide and racism are global issues. American Jewish families still carry that trauma today.
Memorials aren’t about geography—they’re about memory, education, and making sure it never happens again.
English
This shit is so weird.
1. There’s literally a giant ass Holocaust Memorial smack in the middle of Boston. It’s like a whole friggin park. They have tour guides and everything.
2. The Holocaust didn’t even happen in America. The victims weren’t even American. Why TF does every city in America need *multiple* memorials/museums dedicated to this foreign historical event???
Only In Boston@OnlyInBOS
Boston's first Holocaust Museum will open this year at 125 Tremont Street. It will feature real artifacts, survivor stories, and interactive exhibits designed to confront hate and make sure history is never repeated.

@WhiteHouse Thank God for Trump!
It’s now ok again to say “Happy Passover” on the second night and not be politically correct and say it on the first !
English
President Donald J. Trump Wishes a Happy Passover.

@bennyjohnson So in your opinion Trump has never lied to his base ?
English
The unforgivable sin is lying to the base.
Don’t ever lie to the base.
You can’t say the Epstein Files are ‘on your desk’ then give fake binders to influencers then promise ‘arrests’ then release an unsigned memo saying ‘nothing happened, move along’
It destroys all trust

@KariLake @NEWSMAX @SchmittNYC No Kari the American people are fed up with a President who thinks the people’s house is his own and rules and norms don’t apply to him. You don’t have to deal with courts if you follow traditions, rules and norms.
English
Now the President can't even renovate the White House with private funds?
When do we finally say enough with these activist judges?
The President is fed up. The American people are fed up watching district court judges act like they were elected to run the executive branch.
Something has to give.

There’s a joke to be made about marriage here but I’m not going to make it.

I don’t understand why Trump and JD Vance hate immigrants when they’re both married to immigrants.

Congress approves bill barring any president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO trib.al/fk7JMkH
English
The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment.
Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. law.
Netanyahu’s allies in the Knesset just approved a $45 billion defense budget, and the Prime Minister himself also asserted his interest in withdrawing from the MOU with the United States in January. It is fully within their ability to fund Iron Dome and other defensive systems.
Our allies who need our military aid must understand that we will provide it consistent with the Leahy amendment and the foreign assistance act.
New York Magazine@NYMag
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she will oppose all military aid to Israel, including defensive weapons. Will it set a new standard for Democrats? nymag.com/intelligencer/…
