Alexander Hamilton's Tears

Well, Mr. Spidey, Kanas has to defend its SAVE Act in court (Fish v. Schwab) and one defense was to demonstrate that "lots" of illegals were registering to vote. They could not do it. Since you "know" "thousands" of illegals are registering to vote (deciding not to worry about getting caught and deported, and committing a crime, perhaps you would bless us all by sharing your evidence.

@Hamiltonstears @BasedMikeLee I think you actually meant “thousands of undocumented aliens…” and you’re lying

Have you heard a legitimate argument against the SAVE America Act? I have yet to hear one.

Short version. The world thinks China's murderous dictator Xi is more reasonable, reliable and dependable than Trump.

This is wild. People in *every single one* of the top US allies now think it's better to depend on China than the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

f you have depleted weapons stockpiles maybe you should replenish them before you stat a war you idiot, instead of blaming the last President.

@BohuslavskaKate If you have depleted weapons stockpiles maybe you should replenish them before you stat a war you idiot, instead of blaming the last President.

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.'" It looks like they’re just going to blame Ukraine whenever anything goes wrong now, doesn’t it? It’s depressing to watch because while this administration will eventually leave office, a segment of Americans will keep hating Ukraine without even remembering why.

Despite Hegseth’s bravado this morning, the last 24 hours are clearly the worst for Trump’s folly, with massive refineries hit in multiple countries. The impact on the US and global economy is going to be brutal and affect every American. This war is a disaster.

All but 13 states require ID to vote. That is not the issue with the SAVE Act. It is the requirement to have a passport or birth certificate to register. Kansas adopted a SAVE Act law requiring one of those to register to vote, and 12% of eligible applicants (38,000) were denied registration over the next two years until the law was struck down.

"You can't go to work, you can't shovel snow in New York City without an ID…” -Senator Katie Britt (R), a Republican from Alabama, falsely claims New Yorkers can’t shovel snow without an ID. @atrupar (2026)

He's an idiot.

@PhillipsPOBrien He's an idiot.

Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

Every US intelligence assessment on Iran- including Hegseth's January "National Defense Strategy" - did not identity an imminent threat of any kind, but Trump takes us to war on the recommendation of two real estate salesmen and a weekend talk show host. He's an idiot.

Trump on why he agreed to attack Iran alongside Israel, “based on what Steve [Witkoff], Jared [Kushner] and Pete [Hegseth] were telling me, Marco [Rubio] also involved, I thought Iran would attack us.”

Lisa is quite right. When Kansas adopted a version of the SAVE Act (passport or birth certificate to register), it prevented 12% of eligible applicants (38,000) from registering to vote in the two years follwing before it was struck down.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski R-AK detailing her opposition to the SAVE America Act, saying the document requirements place an undue burden on the Alaska government and for state voters.

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is down by about 97%. That’s a huge problem for the world economy because nearly 20% of the global oil supply flows through the Strait. What makes it worse is that the oil that is flowing is on Chinese ships and the transactions are in Chinese yuan. That’s not good for the United States or for the U.S. dollar. This is only the latest in a long list of actions taken by Trump that weaken the U.S. economy and our standing abroad. Over time, it's impossible for the world not to question if America should play such a central role in the global economic system. The U.S. benefits from global commerce because American dollars are often involved on one side or the other, but the dollar’s dominance is not a promise and the reserve currency can change over time. If the world begins to transition away from the dollar, it will be viewed as one of the greatest geopolitical blunders of all time. Costs and inflation would rise, which could raise interest rates — all of that is more money out of the pockets of families.  All of this risk and instability could've been avoided if we had a president who considered the fact that Iran could disrupt the Strait of Hormuz before launching a major war. I traveled through the Strait when I was aboard the USS Midway in the First Gulf War. In that war, we had a clear strategy and goal from the start, and we executed our mission without getting caught up in a long, bloody war that cost thousands of American lives. I worry that's where this war with Iran is headed if things don't change. Hundreds of American servicemembers have been injured and more than a dozen have lost their lives already. I don't want to see any more.

17% of Qatar's natural gas exports were just eliminated. For years. Trump has lost control of this war. It has no purpose. No endgame. It needs to stop.

Here is DNI Tulsi Gabard's sworn testimony to Congress this week about the threat from Iran - including Pickaxe Mountain: "Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated" last year and Iran has made "no efforts since then to try and rebuild their enrichment capability." Why send ground troops again?

“There may be NO good airstrike option.” Andrea Stricker says the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility may be too deep to destroy from the air. “That could force a special forces operation — going inside the complex to eliminate it once the regime is further degraded.”

Not true Ted. Kansas adopted a version of the SAVE Act (need a passport or birth certificate), and it prevented 12% of eligible applicants (38,000) from registering to vote over two years before t was struck down. Thousands of nice, white, Christian and clean folks from Kansas were denied the right to vote..
