@KobeissiLetter Trump's thinks he's playing poker, while Iran is engaged in real tactics.
The Strait of Hormuz is not a card.
It's a pistol under the table aimed squarely at Trump's nuts.

@MysterySolvents Inappropriate, doesn't look American.

@MacFarlaneNews It looks French, not American. And to overshadow Arlington is sacrilege.

According to newly-submitted renderings, Trump’s proposed massive triumphal arch in DC includes gold treatments (reminiscent of what he’s added to Oval Office)
The arch would tower high above Arlington Natl Cemetery (which is drawing a lot of pushback)

This is a good indication Trump is going to surrender on Hormuz.
He keeps thinking up reasons why it doesn’t matter. Now he says Hormuz being closed is good for the US!
This is how he thinks about trade anyway. The US can lose, but if Europe and Asia lose more then it’s a win!

@VotrileHenri @conorjrogers American Art Deco is its own school and a unique branch.
Art Deco originated in France, but if you've ever traveled the US and seen how we implemented it on our architecture, you'd understand my meaning.
It defined our recovery from hardship and is part of the national soul.

@JustinAlpert @conorjrogers Pas vraiment lol, de base c'est français, ;)
Un truc vraiment US c'est la 1ere école de Chicago, bon, je ne sais pas comment faire du monumentale avec.

This is too European. Lions? That's a British symbol. The arch is very French.
For our 250th, if we're building something, I'd want it to look much more American.
I want industry, invention, the Apollo program, symbols of the Plains and West, Liberty, Gold Rush, etc.

With the cost of the war in Iran being around $1 billion per day at the start and the $6 billion in frozen assets we have to release to them, this fucking arch is probably costing us $40 billion.

“I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

@k1rallik I just went back to free apps. I'll take the commercials at this point, it's just silly.

> Netflix raised prices
> Disney+ raised prices
> HBO Max raised prices
> Amazon just removed 4K from standard plan
> YouTube Premium now $15.99/month
> Family plan hit $26.99
> Average American spends ~$828/year on streaming
We are paying MORE, getting LESS, and watching ads anyway.
They didn't kill cable. They became it.
Culture Crave 🍿@CultureCrave
Amazon is removing 4K streaming from Prime Video starting today • It’s now locked behind its ad-free tier • The ad-free tier has also increased from $3 to $5 a month

@LucasSa56947288 Whether the allegations are correct or not, they're damaging enough. Simple as that.

Question! Why are the Dem Leadership rushing to asking Eric Swalwell to drop out of the California Governor’s Race?
Something is not right about this!
What about Roger Stone?
English
@RpsAgainstTrump At least he'll be out of office before he's 80...
English
Ladies and gentlemen, the likely next governor of California
English
@WokeMitt A thing like this right now is more chaos on an already crowded field.
Dems aren't like MAGA, they really don't give passes. What is done is done.
English
Pretty crazy to see the entire Democratic Party immediately kick Eric Swalwell to the curb over allegations that he has denied, and no proof being presented yet.
This is why we lose. Republicans circled the wagons around Trump 5 minutes after the Access Hollywood tape dropped.
English
@harryjsisson Yes, but... Basically means another old dude. Kinda tired of it.
English
I’m glad my party holds people accountable. Eric Swalwell should drop out and resign.
English
@politico Ouch. Thinning the field for another 70 year old.

Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats call on Swalwell to end governor campaign dlvr.it/TRzPdj

@krassenstein Not my race and as long as it's not Porter...
but why the fuck do we always the with 70+ year olds in power.
Dude would be nearly 70 by the time he takes office.

I would be perfectly happy with Tom Steyer as California Governor. How about you guys?
I just find it so telling that as soon as a democrat has sexual assault allegations against them, democrats rush to speak out against them. When it’s a republican, they seem to rally around them.
What’s even more interesting?
The side that rallies around the alleged sexual criminals are the ones who pretend to be religious.

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell, once the clear frontrunner to be the next California governor, is tanking in the race amid sexual misconduct allegations.

@USA_Polling And I swear to God, when presidential pardon authority is removed, it has better be retroactive.

He knows he's cooked and they're all going to go to jail when Democrats take power (Good)

TRUMP PROMISES MASS PARDONS TO STAFF BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE
English
@NickKristof Europe has the demining ships required for the job. The US lacks them.
If this is true, Trump requires a save from Europe. Even deeper humiliation.
English
Iran reports that it is unable to find mines it laid in the Strait of Hormuz. Maybe that's true. But this is also convenient for Iran. This keeps the main ship lane in international waters effectively closed, but ships can still pass safely if they go closer to Iran, through Iranian territorial waters between Larak and Hormuz islands -- reinforcing Iran's control of ships passing through the Strait. In other words, it's not in Iran's interest to find those mines and clear the international passage. nytimes.com/2026/04/10/us/…

@ShakeelHashim Bootlicker take. The dude with the firebomb was responsible for the attack.
Altman is responsible for engaging in the shady behavior that brought Farrow's article about.
If you don't want scrutiny by the free press, don't do that things call for journalistic scrutiny.
English
What happened to Sam Altman and his family is really awful.
It is hard to reconcile his call to “de-escalate the rhetoric and tactics” with his implication that a piece of critical journalism (Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz’s New Yorker article, presumably) was responsible for this.

I completely accept “the protests stopped precisely because Trump winning was worse for their cause” as an explanation but it makes the tactical and strategic decision-making look pretty bad.
English
Tucker Carlson reacts to Trump attacking him:
“I’ve always liked Trump and still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves.”
“He’s hemmed in by other forces. He can’t make his own decisions. It’s awful to watch.”
