Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

If incompetence were a sport, this cabinet would be undefeated.

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

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."

I wish I could say I was surprised

TRUMP ADMITS HE DROVE GAS PRICES UP AT THE PUMP!

Gas Prices - What The Actual News?

Trump: “I THINK THE IRAN WAR IS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE."

Wild how rising gas prices change the mind so quickly.

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

When economists say the president can't really do much to change gas prices, what they mean is he can't do much to *reduce* gas prices. Turns out they can do a lot to raise them

MAGA: Paying more on gas for Israel

Trump yelling at kid mowing lawn meme

“KID, WE NEED YOUR GAS”

Great Britain has only two days of gas stored, while Iran war threatens to disrupt supplies National Gas insists storage broadly in line with levels for time of year despite disruption for tankers carrying LNG

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.

Maximum capacity is 12 days.

Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.

UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.

The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.

Skyrocketing gas prices while he builds a golden ballroom and mows down schoolgirls. Truly America’s golden age.

Gas was $3.13 when Biden left office.

Probably a good time for Democrats to point out Trump has never once pumped his own gas in his whole life. He has almost no idea how much gas costs or how it impacts normal people's budgets.

Trump takes credit for rising gas prices

The Pentagon spent about $5.6 billion on munitions in the first two days of U.S. strikes on Iran, according to officials.

The high cost is raising concerns in Congress that the military is rapidly using up limited stocks of advanced weapons.

Israeli officials are preparing for a prolonged military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon that could last as long as—or longer than—the ongoing conflict with Iran.
