Donald J. Trump O•
@realDonaldTrump
We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning.
Iran's Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth. We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time - Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. They've been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now l, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J.

The Human Rights Activist News Agency reported that over 1,000–1,300 civilian deaths, including children have been killed in the Trump war in Iran.
Trump says that he’s “honored” to be killing people.
That is not normal behavior. Congress must not fund this war.

It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.

ICE should have been hunting down the Iranian sleeper cells instead of 5 year-olds in bunny hats and 6 year-olds with hearing aids.

In two weeks we will be demonstrating for the right of all Americans for life liberty in the pursuit of happiness. On literally the same day the marine expeditionary force from Japan will be sailing into the traits of hormuz. Get well soon we need you.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

There were many Christian Nationalists in the Army when I served in Vietnam.I thought we got rid of them, but I was mistaken. Quote "America was founded as a Christian nation,” he said at a National Prayer Breakfast.t“It remains a Christian nation" That is a known lie. www.cnn.com/2026/03/13/p...

Opinion | I Went to Florida to See the 31-Year-Old Candidate Thrilling Gen Z. We’re in Trouble.

the Manhattan Institute found 31 % of Republicans under 50 identify their own views as racist, and 25 percent also are antisemitic. For those over 50, it’s 4 %. A majority of Republican men under 50 think that the Holocaust either didn’t happen or was exaggerated.

I don't know if crypto is running this dirty and possibly illegal smear campaign. But I do know that if we want a Democratic Party that doesn't suck, we should support primary candidates in safe blue districts who fund their campaigns with grassroots dollars alone.

This is not an excuse, but I do not think Hegseth actually knows what he is saying here. He just thinks “no quarter“ means “we’re going to kick their ass even harder,” because he is incapable of thought beyond slogans

Screenshot of New York Times article with text from an additional paragraph that didn’t fit:
Justice Kavanaugh told those gathered that he thought the justices were being asked more frequently to weigh in on presidential actions because gridlock in Congress has led presidents to do more through executive orders, which have then been challenged in court. It is an argument he has made previously from the bench and in public appearances.

He added that such emergency requests are
"not a new phenomenon" and had been on the rise during the Biden administration as well. He pointed to an emergency request by the Biden administration to keep in place access to a widely available abortion drug, mifepristone, as a lower court heard a challenge to the drug's approval.
Justice Jackson, however, pushed back and suggested the court's actions under Mr.
Trump represented a departure.

Previously, she argued, the court had used emergency orders largely to maintain the status quo. Yet in the Trump administration, she said the court was signing off on new policies. In the mifepristone example, she said, the drug had already been in use for decades, and the Biden administration wanted to maintain access, not seek a new policy or change.

Howling at Brett Kavanaugh trying to act like the Supreme Court isn’t in the tank for Trump on the shadow docket because it sided with the Biden administration to keep the status quo on the abortion pill. He thought he was so clever but KBJ quickly dispensed with him

The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.

This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇
