Family first, Orioles second, all else tied for third. Wanted: more solutions-oriented moderates. Not-wanted: partisans invested in rage futures. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦

@MattWhitlock Given your misrepresentation of the situation here, you could forgive me for thinking that you, not Dems, are the ones who think the audience is stupid. cbsnews.com/amp/news/house…

Can't say it enough - Democrats think you are stupid.
They're holding TSA funding hostage to protest ICE - but giving speeches saying it's other people's fault TSA agents aren't getting paid.
Pathetic leadership from unserious people.
RNC Research@RNCResearch
Hakeem Jeffries now claims to support TSA workers after he voted to shut down DHS. What a joke.

@risingeagleusa @CollinRugg No, everyone else would have more sense. This isn’t a roast. And Japan is a critical ally.

@CollinRugg Trump NEVER misses with his responses 😂 Can you name anyone else who could give an answer like that?

NEW: President Trump says the United States had to surprise Iran with an attack, just like Japan did at Pearl Harbor, while sitting next to Japan's Prime Minister.
Reporter: Why didn't you tell U.S allies ... like Japan about the war before attacking Iran?
Trump: You don't want to signal too much. We went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
English
@CollinRugg This is horrifying. It’s unnecessarily alienating an absolutely essential ally. It’s also bewilderingly ignorant (Japan and the U.S. weren’t allies before WWII). And yes, I get it’s a joke, but if Japan doesn’t take it that way, the intent doesn’t matter.

Corey Lewandowski and DHS contracts.
“He wanted payments — what some people would call a success fee,” said a person with knowledge of the meeting.

This is beyond the pale. It’s irrelevant - the reporter wasn’t born then, it’s not like PH was his fault. It’s ignorant. Japan wasn’t our ally, obviously. It’s stupid - it alienates a critical Indo-Pacific ally. And the question is completely legitimate.
Lucas Tomlinson@LucasFoxNews
Asked by a Japanese reporter why allies were not informed about U.S. starting a war against Iran ahead of time Trump jokes, “Why didn’t you tell us about Pearl Harbor?”

@Franklin_Graham You’re a hate filled man who has poisoned our politics and our culture - not just with your positions, but with your approach to the world. You’re the worst of what religion has to offer.

Only God can fill the emptiness in your heart.

@HunterStires The required electrical load for a ship of that size is also astronomical. Unless we’re putting a reactor on there, I’m not sure how it’s feasible. (Oh, and we can’t even build a ship the *FRENCH* navy was able to, so how are we gonna build this one?)
English
This is the opposite reason why people have concerns about BBGX. Speaking for myself, I am concerned that it’s too large and expensive, is under-armed for its size and expense, and will result in a fleet that in aggregate is smaller, more targetable, and less survivable. A large gun and missile armed capital ship makes a reasonable degree of sense; the BBGx concept as presented at its current size and price point does not appear to make sense, and I would greatly prefer a version that does.

Universal rule: the more brutal and effective a weapon platform is, the more the “smartest guys in the room”™️ at the think tanks hate it. See: the recent DEFCON 1 PhD meltdown over Trump Class Battleships.

So their plan to apply pressure on Iran is to . . . allow Iran to sell its oil and get desperately needed capital? I sure hope there is some plan I don’t know about, because this sounds insane
Tala Ramadan@TalaRamadan
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. may soon remove sanctions from Iranian oil that is stranded on tankers to help lift global supplies and reduce prices, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday.

@SananOfLlyn @Rednuts96 @MattWhitlock @EWErickson @GOP If you think it’s a stupid request, negotiate. But the bottom line as far as @MattWhitlock is concerned is the @GOP could have a clean funding bill for the rest of @DHSgov passed tomorrow if they wanted.
English
@reader24601 @Rednuts96 @MattWhitlock @EWErickson @GOP Because their asks, especially the requirement of judicial warrant, a far out of range of prior requirements, and they know it. The person could commit *murder* (state crime) and not be issued a federal judicial warrant for removal. Stupid request.
English
@MattWhitlock @EWErickson @GOP Yeah, just declaring victory or calling me gullible doesn’t mean you proved your point or refuted mine. The @GOP could have @TSA funded tomorrow if they wanted.

NEW from me
Rama Duwaji — the wife of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani— shared several posts glorifying Palestinian terrorism on old social media accounts that remain active.
Duwaji also used the N-word.

@Rednuts96 @MattWhitlock @EWErickson @GOP No, reforming ICE. They’ve been explicit about what reforms they’d like to see, none of which are shutting it down or defunding it
English
@reader24601 @MattWhitlock @EWErickson @GOP Right, they'll fund TSA, but only if they get their way on defunding ICE. How magnanimous of them.

This sounds like the worst bar on Earth. All politics and stress, overpriced drinks, and the most painful, selfish bros you know all love it.

Raskin: "Thomas Paine was an undocumented immigrant." Jordan: "How was he an illegal immigrant? He was born in the UK and came to America, then a British colony." Raskin: "I didn't say he was an illegal immigrant. He was an undocumented immigrant."

@tshugart3 @johnkonrad AMP’s (admittedly biased) guess was it would save less than one cent a gallon.

Tell me again how Israel is the one buying influence? Qatar did much, much worse. And shame on the universities that played ball.
Washington Free Beacon@FreeBeacon
NEW: Emails released by the House Education Committee show that Qatar pressed American universities with satellite campuses in Doha to coordinate their messaging with the regime in the days following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack. University officials were instructed to “be aligned” to ensure “information sharing and no surprises,” @CAndersonMO reports.
