That sounds like some Putin thinking: "We'll roll in. The people will welcome us. We'll install the puppet government. And it will be over in 3 or 4 days." #inners

So! Has the Iranian regime changed yet? trump is gonna be bogged down in this war into next year. He's too stupid and stubborn to say, "Ooops. I made a mistake." And the Iranians are no fools. They'll do whatever they can to raise oil prices and make trump feel it. #inners

Alright. Heading off to the treadmill. Gotta get my 5 in. #lastword

An excursion. Obviously, trump's addled brain is hearkening back to those days when joining the Army was advertised as an adventure where you could "travel to exotic lands, meet new people... and kill them!" #lastword

Barron trump? Join the military?? That's a good one, fellas! #lastword

👏🏾👏🏾 Running to replace Lindsey Graham in the Senate! #Velshi #PoliticsNation #inners #TheWeekendPrimetime #DeadlineWH #TheWeeknight #Maddow #LastWord #TheBeat

My question is this: With all that they have done and the absolute mess they have created (and the blame rests squarely on their shoulders), why do 'publicans think they deserve to retain control over anything? #maddow

Yeah. We used to have diplomatic channels as well which carried much of the burden for global interactions. Using the military was the last resort when diplomatic and economic efforts failed. But trump and Hegseth did a good job of reordering that. #maddow

Hey Maddow fans! #maddow

Wow! If only N'yahu had the genius of trump behind him. He wouldn't have spent 3 years trying to remove Hamas from the Gaza strip. All of the bombing and ground forces and more bombing and more ground troops... trump's done nothing but incited more hate towards the US. 3 years! #deadlinewh #thebeat

I sure as hell hope this clown finishes yammering before #maddow comes on tonight. You know how long-winded he is. #deadlinewh

Don't trust trump. trump will do anything to put a hold on the coming elections. He'd love nothing more than to say "foreign interference! We have to cancel the midterms" or "terror attack!Put more ICE morons in cities to "protect polling locations." #deadlinewh #maddow

So here's a question that no previous military leader/government had to face: If the AI that is running military operations bombs a girls' school and commits war crimes, does that make the CEO of the AI company complicit? Or just the military leaders who ordered the strike? #deadlinewh #maddow

A military draft??? We didn't have a draft in any of the previous wars - Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Afghanistan, Iraq, or any of the 8 incursions trump created. Why do we need one now? #Deadlinewh

Sounds like a WWE mud wrestling match is taking shape. #velshi #maddow

How the hell do people like Mark Wayne Mullin... excuse me, Markwayne Mullin, get elected? What are his qualifications that led the people or OK to say, "Yeah. That's our guy." #velshi

So, are you saying that this high powered AI technology PURPOSELY targeted a girls school and murdered everyone in it? #velshi

The next Congress is gonna have to write up some laws governing surveillance and surveillance tools. I know Theil's company, Palantir, is probably enjoying some record profits from gov't use and no regulation. That's gotta change. #velshi #NoBigBrother #maddow

The military is still using AI systems to process and target high profile targets in its war on Iran. So you mean to say that after all of that powerful AI processing, it saw a girl's school as a credible threat? Do you really want to give this thing control of autonomous weapons? #velshi #maddow

Boots on the ground, huh... How much you wanna bet N'yahu is whispering to trump every... morning before he goes to sleep? #psakibriefing

Did she just say, "unfit to lead the country through this time?" He's unfit to lead the country at any time! #psakibriefing

Yeah! #lastword #maddow #inners

There's something seriously broken in Hegseth. He needs to go see a shrink. #inners

I think we know what the main purpose of this war with Iran is - it's to entertain trump. Remember, he likes the big explosions. Somebody better put a leash on this clown before he becomes bored with conventional weaponry and wants to see something... brighter. #inners

Retaliation? A retaliatory threat? So that's trump's play? To declare a state of emergency because Iran (will) launch an attack on the homeland between now and Nov. The end result is to suspend or de-legitimize the elections. trump doesn't care how he gets there as long as he gets there. #inners

I think we can all agree that Mark Wayne isn't being put in place to facilitate congressional oversight. trump isn't putting these people in place for oversight. They are being put in place to do what he wants. Mark Wayne will do the same thing Noem did. He'll just call it something new. #inners

We all know why Noem was fired.... trump saw the interior of her new plane and thought, "Sh!t! It's better than mine! I can't have that." #thebeat #inners #lastword

So let me process this. trump is pissed because he's getting blow back for trying to criminally prosecute Joe Biden for something he did during his term AFTER he, trump, declared that presidents are immune for all acts during their tenure. trump is beyond stupid. #deadlinewh #inners #thebeat

A command center? I guess they really do think that all Americans are like the rubes that voted trump into power. #lastword

Noem's flying boudoir. How embarrassing. I guess she felt if trump could do it, she could, too. #lastword

Let's not forget what trump really thinks about serving. What did he say about the men and women who died in service to this country? "Suckers and losers." He said they were suckers and losers. #lastword

You think the trump boys are gonna serve in trump's war? #lastword

The 'publicans are still gonna dispute the election. The operating paradigm is: If a 'publican wins, celebrate like Patel at an Olympic hockey event. If a 'publican doesn't win, pull a 3-month long tantrum saying the other party cheated. #Psakibriefing

Beto had Cancun Cruz on the ropes. The only thing that saved him was trump riding in at the 11th hour on a maga wave of support. There will be no 11th-hour trump rescue this time. trump is a boat anchor and this trump war is gonna last longer than he wants. #psakibriefing

Her and Lewendowski? I thought the roaming Noem was married? Oh yeah. 'publican. trump. Got it. #psakibriefing

trump told the Iranain people to "rise up" that night because he was watching Ant Man and the Wasp Quantumania earlier and was enthralled with how quickly and easily the natives rose up to take back their home. After all, if it worked in the movie, it should work in Iran. #psakibriefing

Been watching this thing all night (so far). Just got off the treadmill thinking, "If I'm Paxxxton, what do I have to gain from this latest stunt?" Paxxxton knows that this primary is a wash. There was always gonna be a run-off and he was going to be running against Cornyn. He needs an edge to...

Drapes! Drapes, and a hole in the wall. Gang, I'm off to the treadmill. Since trump and his brain trust saw fit to fire everyone at security services before they started this conflict with Iran, I figure I better bone up my biathlon skills. #lastword

Oooooooo! Sounds like tomorrow's primaries are gonna start with a little judicial bang (on ICE heads). #maddow

How long was Noem governor of SD and why is it not a hole in the ground after she finished with it? Noem is a one-woman wrecking crew. #maddow

Patel again. Really? You know, sometimes you wonder if people like Patel take time to see if they have toilet paper in their hand before they start wiping their a$$. #maddow

I think Sen. Merkley is right. Yes, trump is still fuming over the Iranian hit. Yes, Iran was no threat to the US, but it was a threat to N'yahu, the Qataris (a golden plane), the Saudis ($2B->Kushball), and the UAE ($2B->trump krypto). Only thing better than revenge is getting paid for it. #inners

Oh my word! @chrislhayes.bsky.social is on tonight! Either the world is coming to an end, or... there's an election tomorrow. Vote your ass off TX! #inners

I halfway expected to see the words "e pluribus unum" to break out somewhere in this scene. #psakibriefing

'publicans on the ground aren't in trouble. They just woke up to the fact that their 'publican representatives have been playing them for a fool. #psakibriefing

I'm curious to know why Acosta hasn't been called in to answer questions. #psakibriefing

Everything trump touches dies. Maybe they'll rename it Artificial Stupidity. (There's certainly nothing artificial about trump's stupidity. That's for sure.) #inners

I thought the general 'publican consensus was to let trump be trump? So why are there all of these mad dashes to move trump in a particular direction? Let trump be trump. If he wants to endorse Paxxxton, or Hershel Walker, or the Easter Bunny, then 'publicans should just grin and bear it. #inners

We need to stop playing footsie with this fool. The POTUS has no say in how elections are run. And any lawyer who helps trump act on his fevered dreams should have their law license pulled. #inners

That interviewer in that "Lugnutz" Lutnick interview looks like a first class fool. Anybody who has spent time with a 5 year old could tell Lugnutz was "spinning a big one." #inners
