Mehdi Hassan: "Which country in the Middle East has nuclear weapons? It's not Iran, it's Israel... Which country in the Middle East attacked six countries last year? It wasn't Iran, it was Israel."
The problem is Israel, not Iran

“Any attack on Hezbollah will be treated as an attack on Iran,” — IRGC Aerospace Commander Seyed Majid Mousavi
@ka_grieco its not a excel spreadsheet. this is real life conflict. both parties are not going to be sharing end of day numbers. You are either naive, have a agenda, or have TDS
I’m not politically or militarily intelligent - so looking for some ppl who follow me who are (not just random unintelligent comments), to tell me how any of this is even close to successful (if that’s even the right term) if in the end the following don’t happen:
1) Regime Change - freeing the Iranian ppl from the lives of oppression they are living?
2) Elimination of all nuclear material & capabilities - freeing the world of that threat by regime?
3) Something changes with the Strait that wasn’t in place before?
Please, just ppl who are well versed in these things so I can become more intelligent!
I don’t usually criticise strategy in a conflict, at least until it is over, but it seems to me that it would have been easier and more effective for the US to close the Strait of Hormuz (and deprive Iran of almost all oil revenue) than to try to keep it open.
Russia has spent four years failing to fully occupy 20% of Ukraine.
But sure, they’ll just stroll through Europe home to the world’s second largest military power collectively, with nuclear weapons, 2 million active troops and defence budgets that dwarf Russia’s.
This is your brain on MAGA media.
Alito and Thomas need to be replaced before the midterms because we simply have no idea and must maintain our majority on the court by any means necessary.
“If we consider that President Donald Trump is not a very patient person, then for some reason his patience with the Russians does not seem to run out.”

🚨 JUST IN: Advisors close to President Trump were pushing to move Pam Bondi into the role of Director of National Intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard
President Trump SHOT DOWN that idea, saying he wants to keep Tulsi in her role, per CBS
47 is firmly behind Tulsi.
China is throwing away fields of electric cars and EV bicycles due to get Government subsidy and an absence of viable recycling methods!
Is this really environmentally friendly ?
This can only happen when markets are distorted - creating products people don’t want to buy.
@LeanneSpurs@_GlobeObserver It would cost that much or more to bring them back to the states. Do you want your gate right at your front door or do you want it back from your house 100 ft? Germany is that gate off the house. But if they are ungrateful, leave them to their foolishness.
Hello Senator Thune,
At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.
Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.
You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.
You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.
You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.
Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.
Let's be precise about what you did:
1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.
The precedent you set:
You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.
But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:
• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions
You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.
What you've actually accomplished:
Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.
Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.
And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:
Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?
Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?
You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.
Here's my message: We saw it anyway.
Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.
Own it.
Piers: “Iran is no threat to the US?”
John Mearsheimer: “No.”
Morgan: “They fund terrorist groups bent on Israel’s destruction.”
John: “You’re baking the idea that Iran is a threat to Israel, and that any threat to Israel is a threat to the U.S. I don’t buy that argument.”
This girl sees Tropicana on sale for $4.99 and thinks “I can beat that.”
She grabs two bags of oranges for $4.98, pulls out the manual juicer, and starts sweet-talking the fruit like “please don’t let me down” 😂
Ends up with almost the exact same amount of juice… but way better taste.
I’m sure fresh-squeezed OJ tastes better, but would you really go through all that trouble just to save a penny? 😭
