@ZavalaA You really should turn down ad assault in your site. Makes it too annoying to even go there.

The Assembly already passed these late Monday night. The Newsom administration has signaled they're on board with both. More on those taxes: kcra.com/article/califo….

NOW: California lawmakers in the State Senate are voting on two major tax increases expected to hit most people: 1) new digital software tax 2) updated tax on health plans @RogerNiello says Sutter Health alone will face $35 million total in added costs because of this 🧵

@JackLinFLL I thought you got rain recently

Fire is still cooking at 74th and the Turnpike

@MarioNawfal Just everybody else.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just denied the $300 billion figure outright: "There is no 300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S. That's Fake News! All there is for the U.S. is Success, Lower Oil Prices, and Victory." He's not wrong that it's not a US payment, the $300 billion is a privately funded investment pool, not a check from the Treasury. But calling the number itself fake, rather than clarifying who's actually funding it, muddies a distinction his own Vice President is trying to carefully draw. Writer: Oliver

@ClayTravis He told the Iranian people who were rising up to be patient. Then he forgot them.

Israel was wrong when they said Iranian opposition would rise up if we wiped out the current Iranian leaders. That didn’t materialize. So if overthrowing the existing government is the goal, then we have to put tens of thousands of troops on the ground.

There are two paths on Iran: we put boots on the ground & remove the Iranian leadership or having wiped out their navy, their air force, their leaders, much of their missile capacity & their ability to have nuclear weapons, we declare victory and pull out. Those are the options.

@Breaking911 So the point of all this was???

VP VANCE: "One of the reasons we are engaged in this process is to ensure that no money is flowing to Hezbollah... What I would say to you know some of the the the critics of the deal that I’ve heard, that will say, 'well, Iran’s gonna get all this benefit.' ... What is the benefit that the Iranians get that they didn’t have before? The answer is nothing."

@MarioNawfal So what was the point??

🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance clapped back at critics of the Iran deal: “What benefit are the Iranians getting that they didn’t have before? The answer is nothing. They don’t get anything unless they change their behavior.” Writer: Claudio x.com/clashreport/st…

@EricLDaugh I first followed this clown when just covered Florida politics. Now he’s just another paid Trump mouthpiece. Unfollowing him is going to be cathartic.

🚨 NOW: The price of oil is PLUNGING toward $74 PER BARREL following President Trump's peace deal, while the DOW SURGES back toward 52,000 Keep it going! 🔥 Prepare for gas to drop ahead of the midterms!

This is still the most shameful part of all this. 40,000 dead--and a goodly number of them because Trump TOLD THEM to go out and face the machine guns because "help is on the way".

Update: Help is not on the way

🚨 AWESOME! President Trump signed the Iran peace deal IN VERSAILLES, France TRUMP, before boarding the motorcade: "It's SIGNED — it's signed in Versailles! I just signed it!" 🔥🇺🇸🇫🇷

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil." April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need." June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."

@MattWalshBlog I'm sure the families of those 13 Americans who died will be thrilled to have this whole things just go away so we can focus on the economy.

I’m happy this dumb war is over and we can now get back to focusing on our own country. That is pretty much my entire analysis of the situation.

Trump And Iran Sign MOU Deal Ahead Of Schedule zerohedge.com/geopolitical/r…

@MarioNawfal No lies detected. Trump left them as the regions biggest power.

🇮🇷 Ghalibaf makes Iran's case for permanent authority over the Strait of Hormuz: "With the rise of topics like oil and oil reserves, the importance of this issue has increased. When there is a shortage, there is a need to control it. Control means management. We do not control it with laws... We have the responsibility and the right to rule there. Naturally, the services were there. The cost of doing this is high."

@Osint613 They're holding all the cards now.

Ismail Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, warned that any continuation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon would constitute a violation of the other side’s obligations under the memorandum of understanding. “We make no distinction between the United States and the Israeli regime, although differences in their methods and approaches are entirely clear.” He added that the Israeli regime is unwilling to allow even the smallest opportunity for any diplomatic process to proceed. Nevertheless, he stressed that it is the responsibility of the United States to compel the Israeli regime to respect America’s commitments to Iran under the agreement.

JD Vance is looking like the new Walter Mondale

Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal. Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.

@MarioNawfal Imagine claiming a win by lowering the gas prices YOU spiked to begin with?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance is selling the Iran war as a three-part win: “Number 1, gas prices are going to come down. Number 2, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And number 3, every single one of you will be safer.” Writer: Sol
