Thirty years ago:

“if they can do this to a senator they can do this to anybody” they already are doing it to everybody wtf do you think weve been saying

The robotaxi has amazing comic timing.

Unless Israel changes what it's targeting in days ahead, this is a regime-change strike with just enough targeting of nuclear infrastructure so Netanyahu can depict it as an act of preemptive self-defense. For the operation to succeed, I think the regime has to fall.

Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

Even though it's tiring, I think it's essential to consistently point out that this is illegal.

such a maddening world we live in. protesting gets your head cracked and/or prosecuted while open fraudsters get pardoned. immigration sweeps and mass deportations but US citizenship is on sale retail for $5M a pop. things apparently do not collapse under the weight of their own contradictions

Israel must have destroyed most of the Iranian Air Force. Even slow-flying surveillance drones such as this IAI Heron UAV over Tabriz, Iran, are operating without any enemy interference.

The world is learning a very important truth about working with Americans: we have no honor.

🇺🇸 Kurt Volker: There will never be peace with Putin — only fire, pressure, and deterrence. The former U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine believes the world must stop chasing a peace deal with the Kremlin dictator.👇

Stop giving Netanyahu bombs and money. This is insane and horrifying.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Cheerleaders for another illegal Middle East war over supposed WMDs.

An immigrant rights advocate confirmed to me they’re on the ground outside (same facility where Newark mayor was arrested.) Working on getting more details.

My friends, it's not just happening in a galaxy far, far away.

You should follow my colleague @nicolegrajewski.bsky.social, who specializes in Iran and works with Farsi language sources.

Apparently this needs to be said. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it.

As the Middle East devolves into regional war, remember, this is literally Trump's fault. He's the single person who decided to end the Iran Nuclear deal and if he hadn't there wouldn't be war.

Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed. (video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

please, my futures, they're very sick

These guys are fast-walking to having troops on every corner as a commonplace occurrence

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

They know they fucked up and they're scared shitless.

I think Noem is genuinely too dumb to understand the nature of the threat she's leveling here

This is going to be one of the famous photos of our era.

This is what happens because we didn’t string them up for storming the capitol.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Transportation Sec Sean Duffy today. At least Zelensky wore socks.

The president of the United States in our time is not supposed to wield armed troops and even station marines on American soil because of political speech and assembly he doesn’t like, that is typically not allowed and no I don’t care if any of it is technically “legal”

Fucking unbelievable

This entire "national immigration emergency" is the fakedy-est faked fake emergency in the history of fakery That is what it was on January 20, and that is what it is now The whole thing is a steaming, fly-riddled pile of horseshit and anyone who tracks immigration trends knows it

All gas, no breaks. Only you can make this poll a reality: zohranfornyc.com/events
