Iran: We will blockade the straits of Hormuz if you attack us. Donald: No, WE will blockade the straits of Hormuz unless you surrender to us. Iran: Ok. That might save us some trouble tbh.

Feel like the Iranians wanted Vance to negotiate because they heard he opposed the war. What they did not consider is that he has no deeply held opinion beyond the need for his own advancement and only the most superficial interest in public policy and governing.

Why is diplomacy failing when we sent the guys who got elected based on their ability to piss people off 🤔

What's going on out there

Please note this. The argument that threatening genocide and the murder of tens of millions of people forced Iran to the table, and is therefore not just defensible but actually *good,* is becoming a go-to line from Trumpworld Hegseth also just said it. We have to take on that argument at its roots.

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING. "We win, no matter what." He's willing to destroy the world to avoid admitting he fucked up.

This picture should haunt Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat and the National Security Advisor, who is complicit in this disastrous war (cc @dandrezner.bsky.social). The NYT reporting shows he had reservations and did nothing to try to stop it. And gutted the State Dept.

was once New Amsterdam.

We really sent the guy who couldn’t pick out donuts.

This is how he spends the time I’m not home.

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

Elon Musk sir only you can fix this. We need you to dig a tunnel under the strait of hormuz. We need your fleet of iron man robots to catch iranian missiles in mid air and turn them back on the enemy. Please take more drugs we're all waiting

Why would Iran relinquish control of a strait the US can’t take from it or a nuclear program the US can’t stop? Iran has INCREASED its demands from before the war, because we’ve proven we are incapable of defeating the country in the ways we care about. Maybe the greatest US humiliation in history.

Can’t stop watching this.. 😊

The most perfect adaptation of a novel ever

Did Iran offer to rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of Trump? Because if they did that I'm pretty sure he'd let them have all the nukes they want.

there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

My kingdom for a plate of waffles like this right now:

REMINDER: Saudi Arabia does not want the war in Iran to end before there is regime change. The Saudis are paying a top U.S. negotiator, Jared Kushner, tens of millions annually. The negotiations just ended without a deal, exactly what the Saudis wanted.

you scientists were so focused on whether or not you could you didn't stop to ask if you should

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

Kennedy doesn’t believe his bullshit about vaccines causing autism or vaccine injury. He believes they help people live and he opposes them because he wants fewer people to live. That’s it.

Obviously it will be awful if the war’s back on, but at least we got this incredible photo of JD Vance failing miserably

rather fitting way for trumpism to unravel we have (a) mind-numbingly stupid, illegal, and cruel decisions leading to (b) entirely foreseeable consequences of them, which (c) they cannot resolve because they operate under delusions like (d) a delusion of victory after clear defeat all the classics

Congress is not a serious constitutional body. Fight me

I suspect I know people who would be interested in this:

Israel at this point is a rogue nation by any reasonable standard

That time — 1986, it was — John Byrne told a Hulk story in nothing but splash pages.

Watching CNN. It's wildly in the tank for Trump and Republicans. - Spotlighting Vance - Strong verbs: "Vance leads peace talks" - Positive spin: "US clearing Hormuz mines" - Showing a huge victory US "peace proposal" (Iran ends nukes, Hormuz reopen) - which is not what Iran will agree to

It is often said that Trump craves adoration, but he doesn't. He loves it when people who hate his guts bend the knee and slavishly praise him anyway.

For instance, Marco Rubio.

the sad thing is that the capacity just is going to go away, period. this goes for a lot of things Trump, DOGE, and/or RFK cut
