Twitter refugee looking for news, civil conversation, and not a TEMU cup holder. I think Arsenal FC is pretty great and am a WW2 nerd.

Very important thread. And terrifying.

10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.

Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧡what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

Search-and-rescue crews were β€œflying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

For the amount Alvarez will cost, I think there are better output options. 6 open play goals in 27 games this season for a 100m+ player is poor. He has one fewer open play goal than Antony 😬

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

So if anybody -- state attorneys general, Democratic politicians, sentient beings -- doesn't understand why Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros./CNN is a huge problem, Pete Hegseth is here to explain it to you.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

I do not think that conflating the Jewish people and the Jewish state is responsible at this juncture.

Fascinating conflation-of "the Jewish people" with "the Jewish state," in 1 breath-as being blamed for the war in Iran. Israel IS to blame for the Iran war! They're one of the nations waging it! The only people who agree with him conflating Jews with that are anti-Semites (who are everywhere lately)

What a joke. FBI agents are not street brawlers. They interview witnesses, uncover documents, analyze intelligence, and testify in court, usually while wearing a suit and tie. Just one more frolic for Kash at taxpayer expense.
