Joe Rogan Says Trump’s Supporters Feel ‘Betrayed’ by Iran War

This is true, but Rogan is still very much a Trump guy. He spent 5-10 minutes on Iran in his last few pods, in which he also promoted the SAVE act, said Minneapolis ICE resisters are paid protesters, and suggested there’s no difference between a king and a president www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Even From Their Bomb Shelters, Most Israelis Support the War on Iran But a long campaign would be hard to sustain.

One poll showed that more than 80 percent of Israelis backed the attack on Iran, and media coverage has been unabashedly pro-war.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, did not make a public or televised appearance; his message was instead read on Iranian television.

Reminder that Brent Bozell III (son of Buckley‘s close friend, brother in law and fellow activist Bozell II) was known for his vocal defense of apartheid in the 1980s. It’s not a coincidence that this administration made this man (not a diplomat, but a right-wing activist) ambassador to South Africa

20 White House cabinet members have directed at least $30 million to benefit Trump - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington The $30 million comes in the form of political contributions, property visits, stock holdings and donations to White Hou

Trump has raked in at least $30 million…from his own cabinet.

20 members have funneled millions right into Trump’s pockets through political donations, visits to his properties, stock holdings in his companies, and other donations.

The grift never ends.

Ladies-
Do you see what they are doing now?!
The abortion pill is critical for women who have had miscarriages.
They’re silently stripping away our rights and our healthcare! Call your reps and make noise!
We have to be able to chew gum and walk at the same time!

lmao why is the NASA administrator going on Fox and railing against Iran?

(this is a rhetorical question -- the answer is that nobody in the Trump administration has actual job duties)

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

Tennessee Republicans gerrymandered the state to carve up metro Nashville into three different congressional districts, and this is the result -- a large Muslim community whose own "representative" is now endangering them.

@whipkclark.bsky.social
delivered a #CupOfJoe w/ a latte truth about the SAVE Act.
It would put more red tape between women & the ballot box.⁠
⁠Why?⁠ They’re scared of women voters. Their goal is to take women’s rights backwards.
Fuck that. We will #KeepMovingForward!

The war in Iran could plunge the world into hunger Farmers from Iowa to India depend on fossil fuel-based fertilizers. Much of their supply is stuck in the Persian Gulf.

"The sudden and cascading effects of trade halting through the waterway, according to Braich “really underscores how interconnected everything is, and how fragile … just any small amount of disruption can have huge aftershocks that reverberate all around the world.”

First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress Officials briefed the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on defense. One senator said he believes the cost is higher since the figure didn't include aspects like munitions replacement.

Sen. Kim: "The people I talk are thinking about their grocery prices, housing prices. They're not thinking about how much money American corporations are going to make off of higher oil prices, because that's just gonna raise all of our prices at home. That's where the president is just so detached"

Russian propagandists are fantasizing about a revolution and the breakup of the United States.

They claim the country could split into separate states with different languages.

Rand Paul: "I think we've gotten overextended. This is our second war in a month, and these wars are very very expensive not only in the lives that are lost, but also in treasure. I'm very very concerned about the debt. Half a trillion dollars for the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."

U.S. voters oppose war in Iran, strongly against Trump sending ground troops: Quinnipiac poll Nearly half of those polled are concerned gas prices will rise due to the conflict, while another 25% said they are somewhat concerned.

1. Again, it’s the president’s war, not America’s.

Poll after poll after poll show a majority, sometimes a vast majority, does not want the US to be entangled in a Middle East war.

Trump at his Miami golf club yesterday entertaining the Republican members of Congress with tales of his exciting super-fun war on Iran.

Failing to mention that in the first 40 minutes of his "little excursion," a U.S. Tomahawk missile fired at a school killed 170 girls aged 7 to 12.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

great point by @jenrubin.bsky.social. Jobs don't walk away, they are destroyed and someone/something is always to blame. This time: it's Trump.

"Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job “losses”; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs"
