It's very much the new "we'll all be open by Easter, isn't that beautiful?"

Man, everyone is so ready to buy any headline that this might be over. People still aren't really scared of losing money if this drags on.

it's come to this ... on its 250th anniversary, America is now begging the Royal Navy to help out.

There are no solutions you can enact without a veto-proof majority. Your job will be to thwart, delay, investigate, provide oversight, expose, cut funding when possible, and impeach when necessary. Which will be often. Trump is historically unpopular. Anti-Trump is fine.

to be clear for a sec, if we do actually just bail, that would A. not actually reopen the strait (or would do so, as rory notes, under *EXTREMELY* tenuous conditions), and B. would be an abject catastrophic defeat for the US (loss of lives and *years* worth of some munitions for worse-than-before)

Next Dem admin needs to tell the GCC they're on their own and to get fucked, in that exact language (Qatar and Oman can get slightly milder language)

Trump: "Sure I managed to fuck up a war of choice so badly that I gave Iran the means to permanently increase the global cost of oil & shipping by providing them w a financial lifeline they didn't have before, but at least I *also* managed to not destroy their nuclear program either."

So he killed dozens and dozens of little children, disrupted global trade, crapped on our allies, raised the price of gas by a buck or more and sacrificed more than a dozen young American soldiers - for what exactly? They’re not even talking about nuclear weapons anymore.

You first, you piece of shit

These objectives, quite frankly, are lies. They were not the reason the U.S. attacked Iran, they were only trotted out after it became clear the Iranian regime was not collapsing. None of them are actually “strategic” in nature, but only meaningful as means to an end which is still unclear.

Iran now giving successful financial advice

putting aside the war crimes for a sec, this is an absolutely panicked statement from trump

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

Demolish this shit and pile the rubble on his grave

Magnificent No Kings protest sign in Ellsworth, Maine. 10/10.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

1/ The world is facing a 'ticking time bomb' from its supply of oil, according to a briefing note from JP Morgan. Physical scarcity of oil is about to unfold across the globe, spreading sequentially through April from east to west, causing major economic disruption worldwide. ⬇️

Wake up babe the Pope just said that Trump isn’t going to heaven

Different people disagree on what specific thing is the exact problem, or what to do about it. But the demand is singular and straightforward: this country should not have a king

The demand is straightforward and tells you what the protestors agree on: no kings

A remarkable photo from #NoKings in DTLA from Connor Sheets of @latimes.com www.latimes.com/california/l...

I love seeing all of the pictures and videos from the protests, the size of the crowds is really inspiring everything feels more hopeful on these days

It’s such a laughably bad argument for the war on Iran to say “The people there want regime change.” I want regime change in the US, and I 100% do not want the US to be bombed. F off with garbage arguments.

It was…. massive. Looking at it front near the stage, the sea of people just kept on going. I was expecting big. I wasn’t expecting that tbh with you

Best I can reckon, this would be the most people ever assembled on Boston Common in its 392 years? Would be the papal visit in '79, the last No Kings in '25, then today. drone shot pulled from CNN #NoKings

In case you didn’t know, in Middle East Military Math: Weeks = Years 😞

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

FOX: You and Thune are not on same page. You criticized Dems, but he was the engineer of this. And are you not extending the shutdown? If you accepted what Senate passed, this could end & TSA lines would shrink JOHNSON: Schumer and the Democrats-- F: Thune propounded this J: Chuck Schumer ...

They gave you spiritual permission to say slurs without getting fired but now you're going to get laid off anyway. They've terrorized your neighbors and prices are still up. They killed the Iranian Supreme Leader and Iran holds the Strait.

Lol

Cornyn endorsement currently looking dead, Paxton and Trump had a positive meeting recently, and ultimately may not even endorse

Some new exhibits just dropped in Musk v Altman trial including these texts with Mark Zuckerberg and Musk

we’re very close to the “@AlicefromQueens TACO classic” threshold (10% selloff)

WHY AREN'T MY TRUTH SOCIAL POSTS WORKING ON THE FINANCIAL MARKETS ANY MORE?

Et tu, Punchbowl?

Trump's face is drooping and his eyes are closed

"Further, unless the US was able to establish unquestioned air & sea superiority throughout the Gulf, the logistics effort would require continual escort, thereby significantly increasing the force req't for the operation. For these reasons, seizure of Iranian territory was not a viable option." 8/8

"This flexibility is a key advantage. In the restricted area of the Persian Gulf, this would have placed strategically important forces at serious risk for a tactical gain." 6/n

On the possibility of the US seizing Kharg Island, William Hickman had some things to say in a 1983 edition of the NWC Review, which I will quote in this thread. 1/n www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/44636275.pdf?refreqid=fastly-default%3A8a508e9d69a5df5858735196a1452802&ab_segments=&initiator=&acceptTC=1

This is an interesting case study of our adversaries observing, learning & adapting around preferred western ways of war. The authoritarian learning & adaptation bloc is almost certainly sharing these ideas among themselves. www.justsecurity.org/134720/iran-...

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Trump and Netanyahu have given up trying to trigger an uprising in Iran, the WSJ reports. Intelligence suggests the regime is firmly in control. Israel has stopped targeting internal security forces and the focus now is on weakening Iran’s ability to rebuild its military.

he's just going to keep doing nothing but posting to keep WTI under $100 and Hormuz is going to stay closed and the air bubble in the global crude supply is coming on shore any day now

We know Trump can't handle the market down and wants to TACO, but can he? And is he even making the calls?

Just find it interesting that a lot of you shrieking about Gavin Newsom (aka the man all of Bluesky loves to hate) have yourselves posted gleeful/scornful speculation about Benny Johnson’s sexuality.

The stock, bond and crude oil markets spooked him. That's all there is to it.
