@SecScottBessent @Heminator What happened on Feb 28?

It is very difficult for rats in a sewer pipe to know what’s going on in the outside world. Some color for the Iranian Leadership as they literally sit in the dark: 1. The United States has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz. 2. There is a hard currency, i.e. U.S. dollar, shortage. 3. Food and gasoline rationing are in place. 4. The entire international community has turned against you. 5. The BLOCKADE will continue, until there is pre-February 27 Freedom of Navigation.

@anduriltech @MurphChallenge The only Murph challenge I accept is a @chmurph challenge from Dark Souls Halloween Town

The @MurphChallenge is back. We’re on a mission to honor the legacy of Navy SEAL LT. Michael P. Murphy and all our fallen heroes. Anduril is the official title sponsor. Our goal is to make 2026 the biggest Murph year ever. For every person who competes, Anduril will donate $5 to a military nonprofit. The struggle of this workout is an intentional reminder and meaningful way for us to honor those in service who have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect our American values.

Give me the fucking bat Wendy, you crazy bastard, or you’ll be living in hell. Praise be to Allah

@EthanLevins2 🥰

I’m in utter disbelief at Hezbollah’s strength. All we heard for 2 years was how destroyed, weak, and broken Hezbollah is. Now? They are firing rockets filling the skies of Israel.

@Eve_Barlow Fartlow

I’m on a flight and my air host hands me a glass of champagne, sees my Magen David and beneath his breath whispers “L’chaim”. He asks me if I want a splash of juice in my glass. I said “just a side of Am Yisrael chai”. He smiles. I say “are you a member of the tribe?” He says “I just found out yes in my bloodline.” I ask “where are you from?” He says “I am from Venezuela.” I say - “holy shit so how are you feeling right now - good?” He says “I’d love to say more. I will just say I feel more hope than ever for the world. Toda raba for all that you do.”

@MildCuthbert This report brought to you powered by Draft Kings

Hearing reports that a KFC Zinger Burger Megabomb has accidentally hit the USS Jeffrey Epstein in the Persian Hot Wings Gulf. It's finger lickin' game over for the 300 souls aboard. The vessel's Subway Eat Fresh Meatball Sub with Zesty Italian Ranch life rafts failed to deploy.

@DangerBrooks You don’t defeat someone in a conversation or interview or argument but a debate seems fine to defeat someone

I don't know what happened in this situation, but when your account of a conversation, interview, or even argument is "I defeated him," it immediately shapes my perception.

@PeterAttiaMD Damn that’s too much I didn’t read it. Sorry about your pedo friend tho

The following email is what I sent my team last night. I sent a similar version to my patients, also. *** You’ve put your trust, your credibility, and your hard work into what we have built together, and I take that responsibility seriously. You deserve a complete and honest account of what did and did not happen. I apologize that I did not get this out sooner, but I want to be thorough. The purpose of the DOJ releasing these documents is clear: to identify individuals who participated in criminal activity, enabled it, or witnessed it. I am not in any of those categories, and there is no evidence to the contrary. To be clear: 1. I was not involved in any criminal activity. 2. My interactions with Epstein had nothing to do with his sexual abuse or exploitation of anyone. 3. I was never on his plane, never on his island, and never present at any sex parties. That said, I apologize and regret putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public, and that is on me. I accept that reality and the humiliation that comes with it. *** I want to start by directly addressing the email thread that I’ve been asked about the most. In June 2015, I sent Epstein an email with the subject line “Got a fresh shipment.” The email contained a photograph of bottles of metformin, a medication I had just received from the pharmacy for my own use. The subject line referred to the picture of the bottles of medication. He replied with the words “me too” and attached a photograph of an adult woman. I responded with crude, tasteless banter. Reading that exchange now is very embarrassing, and I will not defend it. I’m ashamed of myself for everything about this. At the time, I understood this exchange as juvenile, not a reference to anything dark or harmful. At that point in my career, I had little exposure to prominent people, and that level of access was novel to me. Everything about him seemed excessive and exclusive, including the fact that he lived in the largest home in all of Manhattan, owned a Boeing 727, and hosted parties with the most powerful and prominent leaders in business and politics. I treated that access as something to be quiet about rather than discussed freely with others. One line in that exchange, about his life being outrageous and me not being able to tell anyone, is being interpreted as awareness of wrongdoing. That is not how I meant it at all. What I was referring to, poorly and flippantly, was the discretion commanded by those social and professional circles–the idea that you don’t talk about who you meet, the dinners you attend and the power and influence of the people in those settings. What I wrote in that email reads terribly, and I own that. *** I met Epstein in 2014 through a prominent female healthcare leader while I was raising funds for scientific research. At that time, he was widely known in academic and philanthropic circles as a funder of science and moved openly among credible institutions and public figures. Between summer 2014 and spring 2019, I met with him on approximately seven or eight occasions at his New York City home, regarding research studies and to meet others he introduced me to. I never visited his island or ranch, and I never flew on any of his planes. When I was at his home, it was either meeting with him directly, meeting with small groups of scientists, doctors, or business leaders, and once at a dinner in 2015 with a number of guests including prominent heads of state. In retrospect, the presence and credibility of such venerable people in different orbits led me to make assumptions about him that clouded my judgment in ways it shouldn’t have. I was not his doctor, though several times I answered general medical questions and recommended other providers to him. Shortly after we met, I asked him directly about his 2008 conviction. He characterized it as prostitution-related charges. In 2018, I came to learn this was grossly minimized (more on this below). I was incredibly naïve to believe him. I mistook his social acceptance in the eyes of the credible people I saw him with for acceptability, and that was a serious error in my judgment. To be clear, I never witnessed illegal behavior and never saw anyone who appeared underage in his presence. *** In November 2018 I read the Miami Herald investigative article. I was repulsed by what I learned. Nauseated. It marked a clear and irreversible line between what I knew before and what I understood afterward. At that point, I told him directly he needed to accept responsibility for what he did. Hoping to provide the victims from the Herald piece with support, I contacted a residential trauma facility to understand what funding comprehensive care for many victims would require. (Those communications were between me and the facility and were therefore not part of the document release.) I spoke with him and shared that information and insisted that he fund their care, beginning with residential treatment and followed by lifelong therapy. In hindsight, even attempting to facilitate accountability was a mistake and once again reflected just how naïve I was at the time. Once the full scope of his actions was clear, disengagement should have been the only appropriate response. My intent does not change that, and I regret not drawing that boundary immediately. *** Nothing in this letter is meant to minimize the harm suffered by the young women Epstein abused. Their trauma is permanent. I am not asking for a pass from you. I am not asking anyone to ignore the emails or pretend they aren’t ugly. They simply are. The man I am today, roughly ten years later, would not write them and would not associate with Epstein at all. Whatever growth I’ve had over the past decade does not erase the emails I wrote then. I recognize that my actions and words have consequences for the people I care deeply about, including all of you. I regret the cost this has placed on you, and I take responsibility for it. I won’t ask anyone to defend me or explain this on my behalf. If you have questions or concerns, I’ll address them directly with you, my team.

@ChrisCuomo lol what dude?

Swing and miss, poser. One of them is an out-spoken critic of extreme islamists and the threat they pose...the other is your guy, mamdani

I guess I didn’t realize that Epstein’s brother was also his lawyer and is out there breathing and stuff wild

@mtracey Dude you’re being weird hand me the keys

Are 21-year-olds too young to realize when they've been sexually abused? They can only come to this realization after two decades of therapy?

You’re a millionaire, bitch. Go hire security if you’re so afraid of President Trump. You look pathetic accusing Trump of inciting violence against you. He never did such a thing. You are a compulsive liar and a fraud. Enjoy your new radical left friends. Full time victim.

Less communism. More capitalism. As Javier Milei is doing in Argentina.

@LindseyGrahamSC This loser is laser focused on what matters most

It is my understanding Ireland is about to make a motion to the European body governing soccer to ban Israel from playing in European soccer tournaments.   Ireland and others would be punishing the Jewish people 80 years after the Holocaust because they choose to fight back against terrorist groups who wish to kill all the Jews. Hamas started this war. Hamas has put civilians at risk to continue this war. And Hamas is a radical Islamic terrorist group dedicated to the destruction of Israel. They must be defeated militarily and politically.   If these attacks against Israel continue, I will do everything in my power to make those who participate in this effort to marginalize Israel in sports, and elsewhere, pay a heavy price when it comes to access to the American economy. reuters.com/sports/soccer/…

I appreciate all the trusted viziers and trusted royal eunuchs out there scheming against the king and each other. Next man up mentality, any given Sunday, let’s go.

I was reading Moby Dick and there was a whole chapter about you.

@LindseyGrahamSC Wish you would have spent more time hunting w him

I had the privilege and pleasure of knowing Vice President Cheney personally and professionally for many years. We spent a lot of time hunting together, and during the course of our political lives, we interacted often. I enjoyed his company tremendously and always believed he was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known. On foreign policy, he was unashamedly aggressive against the forces who meant harm to the United States. He had a unique ability to handle criticism from all corners of the political spectrum. This is best explained by his tremendous sense of confidence in who he was and what he believed. When that self-confidence clashed with members of both parties, he was unshaken. Vice President Cheney lived a life of few regrets. I appreciate his decades of service to our country. My prayers are with Lynne and his entire family whom he loved dearly.
