Of all the risks the global energy system has long faced, none was better known than potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz. He never thought to build coalition before he attacked Iran, berated other countries for condemning him and now demands they help him out of the mess that he alone created

It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf. If Trump has already won the Iran war, why does he need foreign ships to help him end it?

Corruption. Soliciting cash on the backs of the power built and created by the American people www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

“Registered voters in America are roughly split between supporting the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate in U.S. House of Representative elections in their congressional district this fall…” said true, shows that you can’t fix stupid.

The absence of any respect and humanity that AG Bondi displayed towards victims/survivors of the biggest sexual trafficking scandal in this country’s history was staggering. She wouldn’t even acknowledge them. Instead she lied about wanting to protect them.

Trump eyeing Ohio for operations as early as next week, targeting Haitian immigrants, perhaps in retaliation for the beating Trump/Vance took over the “they’re eating the dogs” incident. Chaos ought to make them popular in Vance home state. Watch Ohio turn purple again.

“Listen, I was paid in the past for my opinions, that’s clear,” Bongino said to Sean Hannity of conspiracy theories he pushed to pole like pipe bomber. So in other words, like many, he was paid to turn MAGA into the rabid morons they are today, believing nonsense from paid agitators.

JD Vance identifies as Scots-Irish and white, describing himself as a "hillbilly at heart". I identify him as white trash.

Did anyone notice that Trump didn’t lower the flag to half mast for slain Nat’l Guard soldier, the way he did for Charlie Kirk? Yes to a political activist, notsomuch for an American soldier who never should have been on the streets of DC in the first place?

@davidmdrucker.bsky.social says that it is valid for Trump to halt refugee visas from Afghans who helped us during the war cuz actions 1 guy. Vast, vast majority of crimes like these are done by white guys named Steve or Joe. Why the different point of view?

@ewerickson posted on X that JD Vance is the guy who mows your lawn when you break your leg. Tim Walz is the guy who reports your lawn to the HOA.Actually, no, Vance is the guy who lies about telling you that he mowed your lawn. He’s busy looking for Haitians who are eating his neighbor’s dogs in OH

Trump lashing out at NBC’s Seth Meyers, as suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS),” on TS on Saturday demanding his firing. No, the entire country is suffering from incurable Trump Fatigue Syndrome (TFS) and the country should fire him IMMEDIATELY!

The only person who has actually ever been held accountable for the crimes committed by Epstein is Maxwell, herself a convicted child sex trafficker now suddenly in a prison resort playing with puppies that Trump seems to know no more about than her commutation that he will know nothing about.

standing up to Trump but after 40 days & 0 progress,it was clear he was being given more power instead. The way to accomplish this is by winning elections, which cant be won by having hissy fits instead of messaging,cannibalizing eachother & threatening not to vote. Isn’t that what got us here?

6/ Republicans own this all by themselves now. Trump’s cruelty will likely continue and that’s for his voters to reconcile.

5/ Who didn’t meet the moment were republicans who knew better but voted for Trump anyway. Republicans who own a monopoly on the majority and power, were ultimately going to get their way, and now they will be responsible for the uptick in healthcare premiums which will hit Trump voters hard.

4/ Democrats have made their point and they fought the good fight. We can talk about who did or didn’t meet the moment. I would add that those who didn’t were the many democrats and independents who were still “doing their research” on election day last year.

3/ We can talk about what it takes to win but as a federal contractor who is never going to recoup the pay I just lost, as a federal contractor who has been through several of these now, I can also speak to the personal cost of this. But at least I still have a job. Millions can’t even eat.

2/ The pain that this shutdown has caused and the increased cruelty that Trump has placed on ordinary Americans while he threw lavish bashes and built marble bathrooms, enough was enough.

1/ Im not surprised about the 8 Democrats.. This is the longest shut down in history, on its way to becoming tragic for many more Americans. There is no way Democrats could have won this, today, next week or next month.

A nation where judges must order compassion is a nation that has forgotten humanity. It is disgusting that feeding the hungry, weaponizing hunger has become a partisan issue. Is this really the hill Republicans choose to die on?

As the court was deciding yesterday whether Trump could inict more pain & withhold SNAP benefits , marked the first full month of the ongoing government shutdown Friday not by working with Congress to reopen it but by taking a $3.4 million golf trip to Florida

I’m not gonna say the Koreans brown-nosed him, but they got so far up there, I’m pretty sure they snorted one of his tonsils as they kneeled to kiss his onion ring.

DOJ said in a statement that all of its officials “follow the guidance of career ethics officials.” Which ones? They’ve been fired. AG Pam Bondi fired top ethics official earlier this year. DOJ has been accused of many things during this administration. Making ethical choices isn’t one of them.

The Budapest meeting’s cancellation not only marks an abrupt reversal for the White House but is a continuation of the fits and starts that have become synonymous with the administration’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine “on Day 1.”

“I’ve not been asked in any formal way to perform for the Turning Point halftime show for the Super Bowl,” Lara Trump said on Fox. “But everybody out there continues getting upset about it and freaking out about it.” No one is freaking out. We are laughing hysterically.

To Magas who may not have noticed, Vance has a wife/kids of Indian descent. Just like some of the folks these “kids” had nothing but vile things to say about If Vance can’t defend his wife/kids or ppl who look like his wife and this is just funny, then he surely doesn’t give a crap about you.

Americans may be oblivious to how much efforts in space has changed lives for the better as a result of those endeavors & discoveries. As Trump continues to cut sciences, China has pushed forward to accomplish what America no longer wants, to lead where America no longer can. This is America last.

The government is in the verge of shutting down due to the failure of the party in control of the WH & both houses of Congress, but Trump is headed to the patriarchy-fest “War Sec’y” Hegseth is holding today for a photo op instead of working for Americans.

@whitehouse.senate.gov 2/ I get what you’re trying to do. But there is a reality here. Trump is going to do what he’s going to do no matter. The key is to win the midterms and Democrats are not going to win the midterms if they make peoples lives miserable and cause a shutdown over a clean CR.

@whitehouse.senate.gov 1/ I am a constituent. I am also a government contractor. If you shut down this government, you are going to hurt me, my family, and the many many other Rhode Islanders, who not only work for the government, but who run small businesses that support it.

@amo.house.gov 1/ I am a constituent. I am also a government contractor. If you shut down this government, you are going to hurt me, my family, and the many many other Rhode Islanders, who not only work for the government, but who run small businesses that support it.

We are at a point now where a Fox personality can casually suggest killing homeless people on air but an MSNBC contributor is promptly fired on for calling Charlie Kirk, truthfully, divisive. Is this what Trump cowardice looks like from MSNBC and Morning Joe?

And here I thought that Maggie knew how to separate whites from colors

“Our hardest chapter brought us the sweetest beginning. Welcome home, Lucy Grey.”

An army of 1000 health workers are demanding RFKs resignation because they swore an oath; head of CDC + several directors abruptly left because RFK was pushing junk science/politicizing public health & @senbillcassidy can’t figure it out? Didn’t you swear an oath too, Senator?

4/ That is history, his record and any real American left in Congress would speak up. No one has any illusion that Republicans will.

3/ America begins the week with increasing concern about Trump’s efforts to present himself as an American strongman who can take over cities and unleash troops on American streets at will while bending the knee to a war criminal named Putin time and again. That is not media spin.

2/ This weekend, crickets from the party that used to believe America had a role to play in bringing democracy to the rest of the world. Now, they kowtow to Trump so that they can hold onto power and avoid primary challenges—suggesting they no longer believe fully in democracy even at home.

1/ In 2023, Cornyn issued a statement on the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, emphasizing that a "victory in Ukraine is a victory for all who value freedom.”
