Deleting press releases about the charges against J6 insurrectionists is a clear attempt to rewrite history. Especially when you do it the same week you launch an illegal $1.8 billion slush fund to benefit those same insurrectionists. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

@WhiteHouse With this @whitehouse we live in the most cartoonish of all universes.

The Dumacrats and Media have totally LOST THEIR WAY.

@hughhewitt Under Obama, the strait of Hormuz was open and the Iranian nuclear program was constrained. What exactly has overwhelming military force gotten us so far?

“Trump has already demonstrated, through action rather than rhetoric, that he is not Barack Obama. He introduced into these negotiations the element most absent from the Obama years: a credible and demonstrated willingness to use overwhelming military force against the Iranian regime.” —@Doranimated in @TheFP. Link in replies.

@RapidResponse47 Unfortunate that DOGE so completely screwed this up so that no Republican can be taken seriously on this for a decade. Thank you, Elon.

Colin McDonald, Assistant AG for National Fraud Enforcement, addresses state attorneys general: "Hold criminals accountable, protect victims of crime, and restore trust in our government. Come join us in the nationwide fight against fraud. We are ready to partner with you."

@ianbremmer Or as Bob Dylan would say, "But even the President of the United States / Sometimes must have to stand naked."

no regime change in iran, no handpicking of the next supreme leader. no dismantling of iran’s proxies, no restrictions on its ballistic missile and drone programs. an agreement to downblend the highly enriched uranium inside iran. the destruction of iran’s navy, but an emboldened iran that is prepared to disrupt the strait. throw in the cost in lives, the global economy, and the global treasure, and the reputational damage to the united states…and president trump has some serious explaining to do.   next up: cuba

@mattyglesias 99 \a freak and with Ewing injured these was no change

Back in ’99 it never felt like we had an actual chance to win, you really need to go back to ’94.

@tomwatson "But even the President of the United States / Sometimes must have to stand naked."

@AdrienneMH2425 @RadioFreeTom Schrodinger's ceasefire?

@RadioFreeTom I swear to God—Trump is the M. C. Escher of blather. Just when you think you've understood and landed on the pronouncement, you see you've walked into a wall or fallen into a pit—& so, wait for the next prank. Except his aren't just visual—they're cosmic threats & embarrassments.

What happened to "largely negotiated?"

Schrodinger's peace treaty.

@ianbremmer @RadioFreeTom @morgfair Schrodinger's treaty...

@RadioFreeTom @morgfair largely = nobody has seen it, or knows what it is

@ski2die56 @NickKristof i did a little bit of tech, back in 2000, but probably not me.

@tedperl @NickKristof I knew a Perlmutter.....tech guy

On my trips to Iran, I've seen how many ordinary Iranians admire the US and despise their own regime. But they're also proud of their ancient civilization and independence, and Trump posts like this bolster the regime narrative. Trump offers a lesson in how not to conduct diplomacy.

@EWErickson we are so doomed, unless the guys follows the gals (Noem, Tulsi, Pam) out the door...

Personnel is policy

@ski2die56 @NickKristof how do you think that they got into power. They were both going to lose before Trump opened his mouth.

@tedperl @NickKristof lefties we're already in power there .....now they are getting whacked for dumb immigration policies .

@ianbremmer just like he did with Venezuela...

alright, who showed the president how to use paintbox

@ski2die56 @NickKristof Trump managed to get Liberals elected in Australia and Canada with these efforts to own libs. We thank him and you for supporting our cause.

@NickKristof lmao.....per usual, he's trolling you and you react as expected. My Persian friends are laughing their butts off....and quite frankly, they'd love it......it's why they came to America! Persian civilization/culture is not the current occupied nation(by Muhammad's madmen).

@Nick_Davidov you really captured all the nuances of the debate. congrats.

The problem is that the left wants to let everyone in and the right wants to let absolute no one in.

@AlexNowrasteh But, it's a good way to produce illegal immigrants--and isn't that the point?

You all really don’t understand how bad this is for legal immigration - skilled, family, all eligible for a green card.

Grok disagrees about the signal argument. . In short, the emptiness Pape highlighted is real and visible today, but it is not new—it has been the norm since the late February escalation. It reflects sustained risk avoidance by airlines rather than a sudden fresh signal of imminent bombing (though heightened tensions could still change that quickly).

This is the strongest signal that Trump will resume bombing imminently No commercial aircraft over Iran

No. The word "crooked" does not legally imply a criminal conviction.It is an informal or colloquial term used to describe someone who is dishonest, corrupt, or unethical. While a "crooked" person might be involved in illegal activity or may have been accused of a crime, the term is frequently used for individuals who have never been formally charged or convicted in a court of law

@tedperl @cbs11jack @TeamCornyn @KenPaxtonTX @CBSNewsTexas Congratulations! You just repudiated the 5th, 6th and 7th Amendments of the Bill of Rights. The jury didn’t convict the accused after trial, witnesses refused to testify at a retrial, and he’s innocent until proven guilty. But people like you want him executed anyway.

NEW: Cornyn’s campaign, @TeamCornyn, says it’s not dropping negative ads against @KenPaxtonTX. @CBSNewsTexas

@dsevr @burgessev @ShelbyTalcott derp. bye.

@tedperl @burgessev @ShelbyTalcott Ok produce posts complaining about Biden’s spending We will all wait

How Trump lost Senate Republicans, w @ShelbyTalcott - His juice is LOW after Cassidy lost and Trump endorsed against Cornyn, per senators and aides - Senate Rs hated the Paxton endorsement and saw the attack on parliamentarian as low blow - Politically, the anti-weaponization fund is "unexplainable. And that's the problem," said Sen. Cramer. McConnell using Dems' words: "slush fund" - Timing for $1.8 B fund was terrible coming before the reconciliation vote ->"This is a delay of the administration’s making," GOP aide says - GOP spent two weeks wrangling over ballroom security before deciding to drop it; the WH indicated to Rs it could threaten to veto a reconciliation that's not to Trump's liking - Grassley told Blanche admin needs to coordinate more with Congress. Meeting w Blanche an "absolutely shitshow," per person briefed - WH official: “No one should be doubting how he’s able to bend everything to his will" - Sen. Lankford on jilted GOP senators: "None of them are punitive enough that they’re not going to do something to poke him in the eye. But they also represent their state.”
