Israeli media seems pretty convinced that Trump is giving the green light for US bombers to destroy Natanz and Fordow.
My guess is tonight or tomorrow. You don’t move all that hardware for nothing.

The White House called a lid, meaning that Trump isn’t expected to be seen or heard from for the rest of the evening.
Cool, cool. Not like the American people need to hear from POTUS while we’re tweeting our way into a war, or anything.

Every Trump supporter who shot off their mouth today should apologize. The assassin who murdered Minnesota lawmaker Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark and shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, Vance Boelter, was not only a Republican, he was a huge Trump supporter.

1. It’s unclear why President Trump is specifically mentioning the latest round of Israeli military strikes and singling tonight out for non-involvement, especially given that Israel’s bombing campaign has been ongoing for two days.

2. It’s also important to note that while the United States is not directly involved in these strikes, meaning no U.S. personnel are participating, the U.S. is involved in other ways.

The 3-person disaster assessment team sent to Myanmar for the U.S. received termination notices while staying/sleeping outside — US AID workers were told on an all hands call today, per a source familiar.

The NSA stuff is a really big deal - and I’m furious about the CISA cuts.
We will likely still be able to protect elections, but I’m more concerned about large scale cyberattacks from near-peers and/or sophisticated non state hacking groups.
Losing this kind of capability will leave us vulnerable

I understand being tired of being told to vote and donate, but… aside from cholesterol doing us a solid, that’s pretty much our option.
We failed to give the Dems ANY power to fight back. They have the White House, both chambers of Congress, and SCOTUS.
The Courts and our vote are what we’ve got.

It’s not - he changed his tweet to clarify that the prizes (which were a scam during the 2024 election, btw) are now for people who sign the petition against activist judges, not people who vote.
I’m hopeful that he’ll be charged with some state crimes.

I find that highly unlikely, but:
I mean, we probably win. But it would be ugly, and Russia/China/Iran/North Korea would almost certainly jump in to attack the wounded West.
Starting a World War by fighting our allies would confirm that this is the dumbest possible timeline.

No, no they aren’t. Putting an O-4 with no relevant experience in charge of the most powerful fighting force on the planet is just about the dumbest fucking thing Trump could have done, so naturally, he did it.
You can see it in his text messages - he’s excited about bombing people. It’s gross.

1. Vaccines work and are safe.
2. Solid fats aren't health foods.
3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat).
4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure.
5. Measles is bad for you.
