Europeans when asked to unblock the Strait of Hormuz:

1. A few months before it started a war in Iran, the Trump administration decommissioned the last of its four mine countermeasure ships. These ships were “capable of finding, classifying and destroying moored and bottom mines.” Now the Strait of Hormuz is closed.

Swalwell: "We have a 70-plus-year history of failure not just in Iran, but all over the world, of trying to force regime change. By the way, it's being led by a guy who has more plans for the ballroom he's trying to build than anything he's gonna do next in the Middle East."

The price of Diesel is up almost 40% from one month ago—and the cost spike is likely to have a ripple effect.

The bad news is that they will not be good at lawyering. The good news is also that they will not be good at lawyering.

"The rhetoric is not matching the reality on the ground, because we're clearly not winning either." @nayyeroar.bsky.social and @stephruhle.bsky.social break down the disconnect between what we hear from the Trump White House about the war - and what's actually happening in Iran.

What are Americans going to take away from Trump's war in Iran? @crampell.bsky.social: "Prices are going to go up."

It is the worst-case scenario that every investor feared: an Iranian blockade has left the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed. Already, the standstill is rippling through the global economy. Ron Insana and Dan Dicker sit down with @stephruhle.bsky.social to discuss.

Farmer John Bartman tells MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle that Trump’s war in Iran will hurt rural America and send food prices soaring.

how did this guy run an investment bank?

Republicans would never win if the system weren’t already rigged in favor of a minority of rural white voters. They plainly want to rig it more so they can hold on to power.

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

Greg Bovino won’t just get to walk away — he will be held accountable and responsible for the damage he's done to our nation. We won’t forget, and neither should you. No one is above the law.

Definitely. I thought Why? She was a child. Note the birthday card drawing trump sent to Epstein had small breasts, typical of a young girl.

I'll keep traveling the country this year to make myself useful, wherever I can, to help build a winning coalition for the coming midterm elections.

Trump doesn’t understand how NATO works. You don’t get to start wars and have all of NATO join in. Trump’s illegal war, is not a group project. If random people on the internet understand that fact, and he does not, that’s a huge problem.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

Another January 6th pardon rioter arrest for child sex abuse. The lunatic released white criminals back onto the streets. Have ICE arrest these people.

Just unbelievable Israel soldiers were caught on video dragging a Palestinian on the floor, tasering him, and sexually assaulting him by stabbing him in the rectum, causing multiple injuries. The Israel military dropped all the charges. l.smartnews.com/p-7kijTqA8/R...

The toddler lunatic 🍊💩 went on a rant on truth social posting a late night post about the Supreme Court. Accusing the justices he appointed of going “out of their way" to oppose him "with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions. He is so dangerous for America. l.smartnews.com/p-7lV9dkEE/7...

I received this stupid mailer from a Trump ass-kissing organization at 123 Bulifants Blvd. Williamsburg, VA called "Justice For Democracy PAC". Who the hell do these MAGA-Twits think they are fooling? VOTE "YES" TO REDISTRICT VIRGINIA!! FUCK TRUMP!! FUCK MAGA!!

The best summing up of Trump i've ever seen.

Many of the under-educated have been effectively tricked with billionaire money.

Veterans voted for this. They knew how he treated Gold Star families. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Grotesque is a good word for it.

He’s selling that stupid hat he wore for $55, and hitting up his base for donations even though he’s not running again. Goddamn criminal.

Yup

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

I dunno. Lately the Oscars just reminds me of capitalism and the Epstein class. Although I greatly appreciate the skills and patriotism of those in the film industry

The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.
