@naziwanorth @cmclymer @MikaelThalen Speaking of cats.....check out the behavior of my very sane 85-yr old dad who can’t play golf this week (normally plays through the winter)....

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

🗣️ @JessicaTarlov: “Senate Dems proposed 7 bills to fund TSA. Thune & Cruz wanted it. Trump said ‘NO I want the SAVE (Republicans) Act’, which won’t get passed. It’s NOT a Voter ID bill.”

(She points out someone got rich off Trump’s market manipulation. @Gutfeldfox plays dumb)

[Nicole D @nepats28]

@TheTNHoller Probably trying to kidnap/traffic them.

[Nicole D @nepats28]

Probably trying to kidnap / traffic her daughter in plain sight at SFO.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE detain mother at airport—traveling with young daughter.

First reported kidnapping at airport since Trump ordered ICE agents to report—refuse to show ID.

"I don't know who you are!" witness yells.

"You could be someone kidnapping her!"

Agent continue to refuse to show ID until bystanders agree they should call police to report a kidnapping.

Incident occurred at the San Francisco International Airport Gate E2 on March 22, 2026, at 10pm. #DemsUnited

@LongTimeHistory @WajahatAli Why are the police offers standing there doing nothing?

[Phil Gordon @PhilGordonDC]

When Obama sent Iran $400m + $1.3bn in interest in 2016 Trump called it "insane" and he and others spent a decade mocking the idea of "pallets of cash" even though it was Iran's own money, American prisoners were released, courts were likely to require the U.S. payment, and Iran had just agreed to significant and verified reductions and restrictions on its nuclear program for 15+ years. Now Trump is giving Iran up to ten times that amount of revenue--one of the most significant measures of sanctions relief provided to the Islamic Republic since its founding--in exchange for marginal and temporary relief from the big increase in oil prices his actions have caused, without any concessions from Tehran, and even as Iran continues to target the United States, its allies, and world oil supplies. No way to read as anything other than desperate recognition of the situation Trump's own actions have created and the lack of available alternatives for dealing with it.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute bombshell. Christiane Amanpour confirms that US and Israeli analysts admit Iran is firmly in the driving seat of this war. She also reveals the assassinated Iranian negotiator was actually their favored candidate for a transition.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

How do you ‘sane’ wash this? Seriously? How? There is nothing Joe Biden ever said - literally nothing - as dishonest, deluded, ridiculous, embarrassing, as this.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

These fucking morons are allowing Iran to get $14 billion in the middle of a war against them. This is the biggest, dumbest concession ever given to Iran by the US and all you need to know about what a disaster Trump’s policy is.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

@SecScottBessent So, basically, remove sanctions on Russia, remove sanctions on Iranian oil, send 5000 troops into harm's way, ask Congress for another 200 billion, keep the same regime in place, and recover none of the 60% enriched uranium. Oh, and bomb a girl's school, killing 170. Nice job!

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Hard to believe, but in March 2022 Pete Hegseth criticized the Biden administration for not "equipping and supplying Ukraine with what it needs" fast enough to "bog down and push back" Putin, who "wants the Soviet Union back, Ukraine back, and Kyiv back."

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

We could argue that Trump 1 was a one-off, a freak occurrence. But electing him *twice*? Raises reasonable questions about what kind of electorate would do that.

[Nicole D @nepats28]

@neeratanden Political science major here. Just for fun imagined presenting this along with our easing of Russian sanctions to my professors as sound geopolitical strategy. They’d fail me and throw me out of the class.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Hilarious.

Maher and Trump deserve each other.

[Nicole D @nepats28]

@YAppelbaum Maher is completely unwatchable now!! He wavers back and forth the entire show. Afraid of his own shadow (and Trump’s). He couldn’t even debate that dope Anna Luna!

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Lifting sanctions on Lukashenko‘s Kremlin puppet regime is effectively lifting sanctions on Russia. And of course, this is exactly the point. In my year of tweeting "Only Trump can save Russia," this is what I meant.

[Nicole D @nepats28]

@billmaher Now unwatchable (husband hung in til tonight but done too). Stands for nothing except balancing ALL Trump criticism with praise. “So far Venezuela has been a success”, “Iran has only been 4 wks” (to justify lack of merit). Was totally deferential to the dolt Luna. Weak

[Mick Ryan, AM @WarintheFuture]

Wow. While the 'shit happens' rule is understood by everyone in the military, shooting down three friendly fighters in one engagement is indicative of a serious breakdown in coalition information sharing.

[Nicole D @nepats28]

@WarintheFuture @RadioFreeTom I know nothing about military matters and called that the second the news broke. This is squarely on the utter ineptness of that buffoon Hegseth masquerading as a serious player.

[Ahmad Ali @RealAhmadAli]

In 2021, James Talarico stepped into the spotlight by going on Fox News and cornering Pete Hegseth.

It was his first day on national TV. Just a sophomore in the Texas Legislature.

Same message. Hell of a journey.

[McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins]

There's a lot going on in the world, but I hope you'll take a few minutes to read this story about the unlikely pair of lawmakers who worked to get the Epstein files released—and Trump's frantic efforts to stop them. https://t.co/rE0gh7sxdu
