I'll just toss out there that the core terms of the JCPOA lasted longer than 5 years and some of the requirements lasted much longer.

In their heads, how does the US blocking the Strait help? Does he think we're pushing them out so that we can then reopen it? Is it so we can minesweep? I'm so confused.

My husband, repeatedly: “How can they do this? How can it be so precise??” SCIENCE. Publicly funded science.

1. It’s not just Trump. Here’s a Republican Senator posting a clip of the Republican House Speaker falsely claiming that the Democrats count on “illegals voting” to win. This is a lie - “illegal” votes are statistically insignificant. They have produced no material evidence, yet keep lying.

I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad as.ft.com/r/db911dd6-f...

Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...

I love it when people who understand Catholicism as only traditionalism, gender roles, and latin run headlong into the core teachings of the church. It never fails to amuse me.

This one's a headscratcher

Maybe this is what they meant when they said Dems wanted TACO trucks on every corner?

Are you absolutely kidding me? Pocket squares and pins? Read. The. Damn. Room.

The US military is really, really outstanding at tactics and operations--the best in the world by far--and ppl need to remember that. We are losing this war because of spectacular idiocy at the strategic layer.

I have enjoyed the folks ostensibly agreeing with me by explaining asymmetric warfare.

Great thread. The way you square being happy when a USAF pilot is rescued during a war your oppose is by remembering that the war is bad, and any deaths in that war are bad, and that none of the people fighting in the war on either side are the ones who started the war you oppose.

first time really tuning into a war? welcome. Let’s go over some rules of how to behave. These are going to be especially important if it’s a war you oppose. 1. You are allowed an opinion. This is America. Whether you served or not. It’s done in your name so might as well speak up. 🧵

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

As someone with *many* years of Catholic education, I'm cheering this whole. damn. thread.

For those of you who are not Catholic, you need to know that the Pope has this thing called papal infallibility. He basically can't be wrong on matters of theology. I'm not saying YOU need to agree with this. You're not Catholic. But Vance treats the Pope like a debate me bro and it's offensive

That two successive heads of that faith - in an intensely hierarchical structure - publicly call you out the way that you are misrepresenting that faith, and you 1. think this is subject for debate and 2. keep doing it and 3. monetize it in a fucking book. Yeah... I'm going to feel a kind of way

I'm trying to express why I have such contempt for that man's expression of his so-called faith. I think every faith tradition has shitty people (and some shitty people were raised with no faith). But to willingly adopt another faith and publicly twisting that faith's interpretation such that /1

JD Vance has me pulling out liberation theology books I have not looked at since I was a grad student traveling to Nicaragua for a course on intercultural communication just so I can keep stepping on that man's neck.

Heh 😏. Via @drchriscombs on twitter

Surely members of the Senate will learn their lesson and carefully scrutinize the president's nominee to replace AG Bondi. LOL, decent chance he doesn't ever nominate a successor.

There’s no announcement coming. There is no plan.

One thing is clear tonight, Trump started this war with no goals, fought it with no strategy, and now is trying to end it with no grasp of reality.

Prepare for some incoming presidential anger.

If you're wondering why "going in an getting" Iran's enriched Uranium isn't easy, this from @thebulletin.org is worth a read. thebulletin.org/2026/03/anal...

Can't suffer a strategic defeat...if you have no strategy.

Every kid should read "Where the Red Fern Grows"

You can't convince someone to change their mind by telling them they're stupid.

Viktor Orban is waging cognitive warfare on a scale no one else has tried before. "Emotions are high because the stakes are high. If he succeeds, he will once again blaze a path that others will follow. And if he loses, an era comes to an end." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal:

Taps the sign

America did not meet the universal adult suffrage criteria of democratic governance until 1965. Gatorade is the exact same age as American democracy.

Brendan Carr: “Look at the results so far — PBS defunded, NPR defunded, Joy Reid gone from MSNBC, Sleepy Eye Chuck Todd gone, Jim Acosta gone, John Dickerson gone, Colbert is leaving, CBS is under new ownership — & soon enough CNN is going to have new ownership as well” #NoKings protest tomorrow 🤘🏼

Forget all the “Protests don’t matter” and “No Kings is just silly” nonsense. Protests matter. Societal resistance has been hardening. It’s a massive problem for the MAGA regime. And “No Kings” is crucial as part of an effort to dispel the idea that “real America” stands behind Trump.

Finally, the No Kings protests can be part of an effort to, as cringe as that may sound, reclaim patriotism from the Right. Too long have rightwingers been allowed to drape their grievances in the nation’s collective symbols and present themselves as the guardians of the national mythos.

Secondly, a broad coalition is needed to defeat Trumpist authoritarianism. In thousands of places, Americans are coming together with their neighbors in a communal effort that creates a shared experience beyond strategic or ideological disagreement. That matters.

So, does Congress get a say now, or nah?

Follow this guy. Also, hire him.

It's been predicted for *decades* -- there were lots of good reasons that previous presidents didn't attack Iran and this was one of them.

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

Yikes.

This also marks the unambiguous end of Khamenei's (the elder's) self-imposed 2,000 km missile range limitation—a message that'll also be received in Europe.

Feels like we're entering the Find Out phase.

Heads up: #ProjectHailMary is a fine piece of movie making. Strong recommend.
