The US and Israel have made keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed/tolled an existential necessity for the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are treating it as such. "Give up your one piece of leverage against your destruction or we will destroy you" isn't working. Go know.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

When William Casey died, a teacher of mine stood across the street from the funeral, in view of the family, holding a sign that said “bury Casey in Nicaragua”, i want to do something similar with larger banner saying “bury him in Russia”

Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little. ➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change. polarwx.com/models/

Something positive to start the day, very cool what this guy did www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find. Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Stansbury: I just walked out of the briefing room, and what is absolutely clear is that Pam Bondi has no intention of complying with the law and the subpoena that we've issued for her to be deposed under oath in front of the committee. They said, we've released what we're going to release.

Proposed voter registration laws would create new barriers to the ballot for Native voters. Requiring in-person proof of citizenship and limiting the use of Tribal IDs, these bills would force Native voters in remote communities to travel unreasonable distances to register: buff.ly/oKWPgUe

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

Our bases are being bombed. Our embassies are under attack. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Innocent Iranians are being murdered. We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others. And where is Trump? Golfing.

BREAKING🚨 Watch Kristi Noem get her @ss handed to her by Republican Senate Deputy Whip, Thom Tillis. WARNING⚠️ This takedown is so brutal that you might piss yourself. At least I almost did. Even Republicans are sick of #ICELawlessness He pummels this heartless viper for shooting her pup & 🐐.😢😭

Latest update from Columbia prez re: the abduction of their student this morning. DHS is fucking deranged. “The agents gained entry by stating they were police searching for a missing child. Our security cameras captured the agents in the hallway showing pictures of the alleged missing child.”

It is *wild* that it took this long before a Dem politician figured out how to use the overtly obvious levers to manipulate a guy with like three basic desires and no object permanence

Don't threaten us with a good time, Mike.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year. Where’s our refund?

I could not possibly love this more.

Chris Murphy: “He’s telling you he wants to federalize national elections — he's telling you that he thinks he won Minnesota & Georgia & California, that the 2020 elections were rigged— He’s trying to rewrite history & trying to make sure that nobody other than him & his allies win in 2026 & 2028”

Vought needs to be locked up for a long time along with all his buddies…

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

You can tell when he is just repeating what he was told. The “state is an agent for the federal government in elections” is the kind of thing he’s told and simply parrots because he has no knowledge himself.

under different circumstances this is congressional-inquiry level scandal

Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma wants to shut down airports in sanctuary cities, a move that would cause the collapse of our nation’s air travel system. What a putz.

Went skiing today, now I’m eating ramen. Keep doing what makes you happy.

I love the US. But if I were not American, I would not set foot in the US now. As long as Stephen Miller is in power, the US cannot plausibly host international sporting events. (And all the *foreigners* they would bring.)

This is absolutely something Dems should do.
