"Trump's approval with MAGA GOP is literally 100%."
"MAGA makes up the same share of voters as it did when Trump won in 2024."
Remember this next time you see a story quoting Tucker, Bannon, Greene (and probably next Kent) saying MAGA is mad at Trump and splitting. It's not.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
There's no break in MAGA. Trump's approval with MAGA GOP is literally 100%. 90% of MAGA GOP approve of US military action in Iran. Those who disapprove of Trump are not MAGA at this point. Importantly: MAGA makes up the same share of voters as it did when Trump won in 2024.

@pastorryank @dandarling You would have preferred that he try while Congess was not in session?
English
@tedperl @dandarling FDR? The guy who tried to expand the Supreme Court when Congress was in session because even his own party wouldn't give in to his megalomania?
He had dignity?
English
Yep. Normal stuff. Wait till you read FDR’s prayer before D-Day.

The Secretary of Defense tells the American public to pray for our troops on bended knee and invoke Jesus' name....

Today is March 19th, 2026 and Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America.
English
@KenGardner11 It's moments like this that explain why he got the FIFA peace prize.
English
The look on her face when he said that...
He has a point, but there is also a time, a place, and a manner in which to express the point and this was not it.
CSPAN@cspan
Q: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…about the war before attacking Iran?" President Trump: "We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
English
@RepBrandonGill Are you saying that only Christian prayers are called for?
English
Democrats are reflexively repulsed when they hear someone invoke Christ’s name.
What does that tell you?

did not have the pearl harbor reference while seated with the japanese prime minister on my bingo card.
in retrospect i consider this a personal failing.
English
Oh, now, this is just his puckish sense of humor and not at all incredibly embarrassing moment and another new low in Trump's ongoing humiliation of the United States
Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
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?

@SunWolf41512984 @EWErickson @bariweiss Until Congress renames it, we should stick with Secretary of Defense.
English
@EWErickson Also notice the choice to call him the SoD rather than the SoW. Journalist “resistance” …she is a disgrace @bariweiss
English
She thinks this is controversial

English
@EWErickson Is the "logic" here that only prayers to Jesus would be answered?
English
@dustoff_1sg because they don't exist except in your imagination.
English
How is it possible people are angry at a free Venezuela, a free Iran, or a free Cuba? We live in strange times.

@tedperl @Tabitha_de_Ruse @BeingJWood @RondureGyre Depends on if illegal immigrants are allowed to vote, by law, on local issues only, yeah?
English
Serious question:
Why would a non-citizen vote?
What’s their motivation?
Their rationale?
I can’t come up with anything.
English
@joelpollak I have the feeling that this tweet will age as well as Bush's mission accomplished banner.
English
We will look back on this war with admiration for the man who had the courage to lead it; who refused to leave a festering evil for his successor, whom he knew would likely not have the courage or ability to confront it; who did it in an election year despite the political cost.
English
@markmoseley97 @Tabitha_de_Ruse @BeingJWood @RondureGyre If you try to find 1000 illegal immigrants and then provide them with ID, what are the odds that you can keep that a secret. Much better use of resources would be to get your low propensity voters to the poll.
English
@tedperl @Tabitha_de_Ruse @BeingJWood @RondureGyre Good likelihood? Maybe not. Maybe it's quite rare.

@ianbremmer It's almost like you're happy for Iran regime to survive
English
the united states threatening iran with additional destruction is no longer a deterrent for iran’s remaining leaders.

@tedperl @The_Age_of_Gold @TristinHopper So you’re going to be intellectually, dishonest, and pretend that all America has done for the world community in the past hundred years is invade poor and feeble countries?
If that’s the fucking hill you want to die on then you’ll die on it.
English
One of these days the United States is going to save us all from a planet-destroying asteroid and it won't even buy them five minutes of gratitude from the world community.

@The_Age_of_Gold @TristinHopper I did. I thought that it merited an absurd list response.
English
@tedperl @TristinHopper Not sure you understood the nature of the original post.

Sen. Warnock: 8.2 million people registered to vote in Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State found 20 instances of noncitizens who were registered, and only 9 attempted to vote. The SAVE Act would disenfranchise 150,000 Georgians for every instance of a noncitizen voting in the last decade
English
@Caeser30609049 @ReichlinMelnick nope. they knew how to spell citizens.
English
Right on the "legal, mandatory" part. If you want to follow the Constitution, you have to count undocumented immigrants in the Census for redistricting. The Constitution could not be more clear; all "whole persons" count. Any other interpretation is in the secret meanings realm.
David Weigel@daveweigel
"They're registering the illegals to vote" (illegal) is fake; "they want the illegals to count in the census for redistricting" (legal, mandatory) is not fake.
