Evictions are at their highest since the Famine, rents have just seen the biggest quarterly increase on record - and the people of Galway are like: “YES, give us more.” 😵‍💫

Kidnapped in international waters, abused, beaten, put in stress position by Israel. A rogue state that Ireland sent €20m in dual use tech to in 2024 alone. @MichealMartinTD grow a spine.

@sinnfeinireland @LNBDublin Thank you @sinnfeinireland for standing for what is just for those the EU seems to have forgotten.

An entirely meaningless statement less than 24 hours since they all fully endorsed Micheál Martin, this Govt & its failed approach to politics & the people of Ireland.

Normally an embarrassing & humiliating slap down for a senior Minister, but the bar is so low it’s just standard news today.

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

Minister for Communications Patrick O'Donovan is no longer seeking a review of media coverage of fuel protests despite his comments yesterday

[Matt Carthy TD @mattcarthy]

Michael Healy Rae has resigned as a Minister. The rest of this failed government should go with him!

[Dave @dmc_fadden]

Taoiseach confirms the cancellation of the carbon tax increase for May will not impact the retrofit budget.

The Tánaiste then confirms EU rules on excise & diesel are being set aside for this extra 10c cut.

Two excuses that are always wheeled out - now undermined by themselves.

[Dave @dmc_fadden]

Cue James O’Connor, John McGuinness & Seán Ó Fearghaíl et al. expressing deep anger & frustration at Micheál Martin’s handling of the fuel protests… but still voting confidence in him.

[Mícheál Lehane @MichealLehane]

FF TDs and Senators have been summoned to Dublin early tomorrow morning for a parliamentary party meeting in Leinster House at 11am. It follows discussions today between the Taoiseach and the Chief Whip Mary Butler.

The Republicans have fallen so far they only draw the line at the destruction of a whole civilisation.

[Congressman Nathaniel Moran @RepNateMoran]

The United States of America must always be prepared to use overwhelming military force when necessary to defend our national security interests and protect Americans at home and abroad.

And, a President should have the latitude to make decisions to that end, but only to the extent that those decisions are also consistent with the inherent authority of a Commander-in-Chief under the U. S. Constitution and the provisions of the War Powers Resolution. To date, I have supported the President’s decisions relating to the Iranian conflict because they were consistent with these authorities and the ultimate goal of protecting national security interests.

At the same time, what sets America apart is not only our strength, but how we use it. Our nation has always conducted military operations for just causes and through just and moral means. This must continue in the future; otherwise we forfeit our legitimacy to lead the world.

So, let me be clear: I do not support the destruction of a "whole civilization." That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America. 

I have and will continue to support a strong national defense—one that is focused, disciplined, and firmly rooted in protecting the safety and security of the American people. But, how we protect the lives of the innocent is just as important as how we engage the enemy.

America is great because America is good.

On this Palm Sunday, President Trump shared his letter from Franklin Graham explaining the only path to Heaven is through Jesus, our Savior.

[Dave @dmc_fadden]

We’re just pretending Israel hasn’t invaded & is occupying Lebanon, because acknowledging that would mean we have double standards about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, right?

Just trying to keep up with the absurd decisions & positioning of the EU & Ireland.

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

In Gaza: In more than half of the Gaza Strip's territory.

In Lebanon: I have now instructed to further expand the existing security zone in order to finally thwart the threat of invasion and to push the anti-tank missile fire away from our border.

The decision by Israeli police to bar Jerusalem’s Latin Patriarch from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday constitutes a violation of religious freedom and long-standing protections governing holy sites.

Freedom of worship in Jerusalem must be fully guaranteed, without exception, for all faiths.

Jerusalem’s multi-religious character must be protected.

Israeli strikes in south Lebanon just this morning have killed seven paramedics and wounded seven more. Three journalists covering the attacks have also been killed.

The man waging war is having imaginary conversations with himself (again) and no one seems bothered.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

President Trump spent five minutes of his Cabinet meeting boasting of his thrift with a story about negotiating for $5 personalized Sharpies.

The company that makes the permanent markers said the exchange never happened. https://t.co/87XzjYT8Dy

“A toddler in Gaza released from Israeli custody has been returned to his family with suspected torture wounds.”

Read that again.
