This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

14 days in. 8 Americans dead. Iran's proxy network, drone swarms, cyber attacks and mines in the Strait are all still very much alive. Unconditional surrender is going great.

Translation, I broke the Strait of Hormuz and now gas prices are looking scary. I’ve spent years calling our allies losers, but now I’d like those losers to come pay for the security guards. I’ll take credit if it works, and if it doesn't, I’ll say they didn't work hard enough. Peace! (Please help).

He is begging like a dog, one might say.

This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.

Competition isn't a threat, it's a catalyst. If you think only one EV company can survive, you're not watching the market, you're just watching the feed.

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose β€˜targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Well this is one way to push the world toward clean energy. Bomb the oil hub that supplies 90% of Iran's exports, threaten to destroy it completely, and watch $200 oil finish the job. Unintentional climate policy from a man who hates climate policy.

There is a race to the bottom going in with Freedom of Information laws across the country, at every level of government.

A couple of years ago, British Columbia tripled processing fees, justifying it by saying that Alberta charged the same fee.

Analysis: Pete Hegseth wanted an β€˜American Crusade.’ Now he’s leading a war in the Middle East | CNN Politics In the war the US launched on the Islamic Republic, the US secretary of war, as he prefers to be called, likes to talk about how the Christian God is on his side.

Hegseth has a Crusades tattoo on his chest, hosts Pentagon prayer services and told troops God backs this Iran war. But you're supposed to be offended when people are tired of "thoughts and prayers" after mass shootings. The hypocrisy is the point.

If Obama gave sanctions relief to a country actively helping kill US troops he would have been impeached by lunch. Trump does it and it barely makes the news.

Trump DOJ’s voter rolls grab has unearthed a tiny number of illegitimate votes Dozens of illegitimate votes may seem significant. But 50 illegitimate votes would amount to just 0.000007 percent of the roughly 680 million votes cast in the last five national elections.

After accessing nearly half of the states’ full voter rolls, DOJ Civil Rights Division head Harmeet Dhillon said the department has only found β€œdozens” of instances of noncitizen voting illegitimately.

The finding, contrary to GOP narratives, affirms that voter fraud is extremely rare.

This is just plain wrong. And self-serving. It was never intended to be a lifetime position. Clyburn should retire. And let a new voice serve. Same with Chuck Grassley & all other career politicians (Republican & Democrat) who’ve been in Congress since the Industrial Revolution.

ALT TXT: Truth Social post from Donald Trump on March 12, 2026: β€œThe United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.

Who's the "WE"Β making "a lot of money" from skyrocketing gas prices, Trump?

It's definitely not the Americans struggling to pay an extra $1.5 billion at the pump this week.

$11 billion spent on the Iran war in 10 days could have paid tuition for 2.6 million community college students, funded Amtrak for 4.5 years, or covered daily Medicaid costs for 4 million Americans every single day of the war.

Every dollar spent there is a dollar not spent here.

I'm sorry, did he call the last 14 months of ICE abuses and murders a β€œlittle hiccup”?

U.S. Plan to Unblock Strait of Hormuz Collides With Realities of Global Insurance The U.S.-centric insurance idea runs counter to the realities of an international market, according to industry executives.

Trump's plan is not based on reality? No way, I'm shocked!
