It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

This is the guy JD Vance is campaigning for—and that both Trump and Netanyahu have endorsed (along with Putin). www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Trump is now begging to be business partners with Iran. Think about that. Reminder: there is zero evidence that what Trump is saying is true. None. Iran, however, is positioned to cash in and make more money than ever before.

After yesterday, we know exactly how far Republicans will go to stay silent. All the way to the brink of nuclear apocalypse.

Iran continues to mock Trump: We are writing to you from the Stone Age and we control the Strait of Hormuz.

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

This is so deranged. It’s hard to believe it’s real.

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

Is Vance's support of Orban, Russia's most important asset in Europe, really in America's national interest?

No American is served by creating ever bigger media monopolies funded by ever more elusive foreign entities.

Because Vance is a living node in a Russia-funded propaganda machine; everyone should please notice that there is nothing American about having to fly to a foreign country to try to influence its election so that your own career can continue as planned.

The Trump Organization is now selling "Trump 250" merch tied to America's 250th anniversary. Meaning the President is making a personal profit on the nation's birthday. The grift just keeps grifting.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

As predicted by everyone, Orbán in his pre-election false flag now blames Ukraine for the fake thing he cooked up and which everyone expected.

Another joyful and blessed Easter from the Trump administration.

The President starts a war with Iran. Now, his family looks to profit from it. The corruption is enough to make you sick.

There appears to be a sense among those with MAGA connections that they have a window of opportunity to get rich. A new breed of swamp creature is emerging in America: econ.st/4bN1n0b Illustration: Klawe Rzecy

One way or another, this country is going to learn that accommodating white supremacist ideology will destroy this country. It did so once before and is doing so again. Is this country really prepared to allow our military to be DESTROYED by racism & sexism. Are we watching this like a TV show?

One tip I can't believe I'll be offering in future negotiation classes is that interlocutors tend to react badly when you publicly announce the talks are just to buy time until you can steal their stuff. This applies doubly if you have no practical way whatsoever to actually do it.

During a war with the leading state sponsor of terror, Trump has now fired the head of the Department of Homeland Security, the Attorney General and now, the Chief of Staff of the Army. Talk about regime change. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Bondi dropped the Trump U fraud case. She defended Trump during one of his impeachments. And she totally crashed the DOJ for him. A true tool. Still, she's fired.

Senator Elizabeth Warren: Under AG Bondi, the DOJ became a cesspool of corruption. Bondi will be remembered for blocking the release of the Epstein files, weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump’s political opponents, and handing out merger approvals as political favors…

I feel like this is illegal. Congress creates and shutters federal agencies, not the president.

As someone who studies politicization of democratic militaries this statement on X is a five- alarm fire. It creates an undeniable permission structure for overt partisan behavior by mil. It's part of a concerted effort by civilian leaders to turn the U.S. military into a partisan aligned force.

President Trump's executive order, "Ensuring Citizenship Verification & Integrity in Federal Elections" is a direct attack not only on voters, but on how elections are run in this country. The Constitution is clear: election admin. is the responsibility of the states. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

That’s gonna be a positive way to showcase America to the world - our police state harassing everyone. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

If Trump signs an unconstitutional Executive Order to take over voting, we will sue. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...
