@atrupar Are the walls closing in?

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story: “The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office." publicnotice.co/p/mark-jacob-i…

It's absolutely absurd that the American military can literally set up an entire military command post behind enemy lines just to rescue 1 pilot... ...but the GOP in Congress cannot muster a single ounce of courage whatsoever to pass the SAVE Act Tells you all you need to know.

How many self confessed ‘allies’ With their rainbow lanyards, pronoun badges and Pride March Insta photos, Will truly stand up and speak out against this horrific homophobia?

@k6lcsclint @Milajoy We killed 140+ American school children? Holy shit! This should be on the front page of every newspaper.

@Milajoy When you don't have to count 140+ school children we killed ...

There were more Americans killed in Chicago this weekend than have been killed in four weeks of war with Iran.

@SenWarren Why don’t you guys eliminate fraud before asking for more money?

Relevant context: Twitter was basically the reverse of this for a decade and a half. Actually worse: President Trump and many others were outright banned under that era’s oppressive censorship policies. e.g., You could be banned for saying totally true things about the trans issue — here and across most other social media platforms. Elon’s acquisition of Twitter could be framed as the single highest ROI ($ —> influence) political gambit of the post-COVID era. But it may not be that calculated. Elon seems pretty genuinely into free speech. In many ways, what Nate Silver is showing here is just how badly left wing views hold up to scrutiny among literate people once the censorship and legacy prestige credentialing games are lifted

It cannot be ruled out that this is a threat to use a nuclear weapon against Aaron Rupar

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Donald Trump has shamed America. Americans regret that they chose this foul-mouthed Trump as their President instead of the brilliant Kamala Harris. Right?

This is embarrassing, Delete it, President ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ - unless you want everyone to think you’ve lost your marbles.

@__Injaneb96 So in other words ure rooting for the enemy to kill ur town people nice

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

@MilesTaylorUSA Your war is no longer against the Iranian regime, but against the Iranian people, Mr President.

Yes. He’s pledging war crimes. It’s time for the 25th.

Anyone who claims asylum and then travels back to the country they supposedly fled should be instantly and permanently disqualified. If the country is safe enough for a holiday, it is safe enough to stay in. It’s almost unbelievable that this even has to be said.

@JamieMetzl Successful in what? Killing more schoolchildren? Bombing more residential buildings? Committing more war crimes? Which particular aspect do your funders tell you to like Jamie?

I am a Democrat and a lifelong human rights advocate. I very much hope America is as successful as possible in our war with Iran and that the Iranian regime will be neutered. I fully support our troops. Any Americans who think otherwise should be condemned.

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

@Arrogance_0024 Opinion Disregarded

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@JoJoFromJerz @ChrisMurphyCT @AkilahObviously You’ve never had a coherent thought in your life.

@ChrisMurphyCT @AkilahObviously I think he’s going to try to use nukes.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

@EthanLevins2 The US won't tell the truth about the actual number of casualties. They will try to save face 😂

$200M destroyed while rescuing a single pilot. They are hiding the U.S. casualties
