@DavidFellerath I'm equally stunned. And I presume you've now watched THE scene (Walken and Hopper).

Trump on Iran War:

Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?

Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

This is genuinely one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in baseball. Robbing a homerun is hard and rare enough. Robbing two in a game is the record. But three?? One in a million chance. Take a bow, Jo Addell. #RepTheHalo

@tracywolfson We were there, and you're exactly right.

In a discussion with @michaeljswalker on Friday, I said that Trump was being presented options to strike civilian infrastructure in Iran. The aim would be to cripple Iran’s economy and to make it harder for Iran to persist in the war.

I explained that hitting Iran’s critical infrastructure might shorten the war, but it would also intensify it. For that reason, that overall damage done to region and the global economy could end up being far worse during a shorter war.

If Trump hits a major power plant, Iran will respond by hitting utilities in the Gulf states and Israel—including power plants and desalination facilities—and will count on the fact that it has to hit fewer targets to have a bigger impact.

Iran has nearly 500 power plants, Israel has around 50. The largest Iranian plant, the Damavand Combined Cycle plant, accounts for about 4% of Iran’s total capacity. Israel’s largest plant, Orot Rabin, accounts for 20% of electricity production.

The fact that a US president is posting a message like this on social media represents a total breakdown in the systems that are meant to ensure the US fights wars intelligently and judiciously. The commander in chief is not of sound mind, no one in his cabinet is willing to admit it, and we are being pushed towards the edge of an abyss.

I've never said this before, but fire Hubert.

Hubert leaving Stephenson all this time is coaching malpractice.

@tsnmike One of my fav strategies Dean Smith (and others) used was to save at least 1-2 TO for last seconds court advancement. Bullet pass from under goal to half court; immediate TO; shorter pass for last second shot. So many don't try that now. Don't reward lack of ingenuity.

NEW: The White House is blocking the FBI and top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about new terror threats to the homeland tied to the war with Iran.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents pulled guns on an unarmed U.S. citizen in a small Minnesota town… then had to be stopped by the local police chief.

This happened in St. Peter, Minnesota. A quiet southern Minnesota town

A local woman was alone in her car, observing and recording ICE activity in her community. She is doing something that is fully protected under the First Amendment… observing and documenting federal agents in public.

ICE notices her watching.

Three federal vehicles begin chasing her, and try to force her to pull over.

They eventually box her car in and three agents jump out of the vehicle in front of her… with their guns drawn… screaming at her to get out of the car.

She refuses, and states her rights.

The agents open her car door anyway, drag her out, force her to the ground, and handcuff her.

This is all happening while she is unarmed, and alone on a country road.

She suffers cuts, scrapes, and bruises as they pin her down.

Her husband then arrives and starts recording. He tells them they don’t have a warrant and cannot search her car. An ICE agent dismisses him outright and says, “I’m not getting into the legality of everything.”

Read that again.

A federal agent, pointing guns at civilians, openly says they are not concerned with legality.

ICE puts this woman into their vehicle and starts driving her toward the Twin Cities, toward a federal detention facility… even though she is a U.S. citizen.

About twenty minutes into the drive, they suddenly turn around after getting a call from a supervisor.

The St. Peter police chief stepped in.

After her husband contacted an attorney and spoke with the police chief, the chief identified the vehicle ICE was using, took custody of the woman, and personally drove her home.

ICE turned her over to local police because what they were doing was so clearly wrong.

This is what is happening in America.

A small-town police chief had to intervene to stop federal agents from disappearing an unarmed woman for observing them.

If ICE feels comfortable pulling guns on unarmed citizens in small towns, chasing them, throwing them to the ground, and ignoring the law entirely, then no town is too small and no one is safe from ICE brutality.

This is what it looks like when federal agents think they’re above the Constitution.

@Sandherrera_ I'd say much of that critique applied to the USWNT, too.
