Trump just admitted publicly that his administration underestimated the Iranian response to his attack. “They hit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked. They fought back.”

if the president prioritizes loyalty over competence, he will get neither.

Joe Kent resigning and immediately pivoting to blaming Israel for everything is as predictable as it is unserious. Scapegoating Israel isn’t just a tired antisemitic trope – it’s anti-American. This is a guy with ties to white supremacists and has “PANZER” tattooed on his arm,

Nice to see someone resign in protest over a misguided foreign policy adventure, but it being Joe Kent going out in a blaze of anti-semitic conspiracy theories is a real sign of our times.

A lot of us said not to appoint and confirm the crazy anti-Semitic neo-Nazi guy in the first place, but alas…

My thoughts, exactly.

Whatever good and important things Trump and his Administration are doing (and I definitely believe that there are some), we should never cease to be shocked and saddened by his gross unfitness for the office of president.

Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 people convicted in fraud cases. At the same time, he says he is waging a "war on fraud." Those granted clemency included allies & donors. Those targeted in the "war on fraud" include Somali & other immigrants. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

In all, few Americans feel they know a lot of specifics about what's in the SAVE Act. When asked whether they favor or oppose it, views are mixed, and many are not sure. tinyurl.com/4d8vcu5a

When you fuck up so bad you have to pause the sanctions on the country you started a war with.

Iran has worked for years to get sanctions relief through diplomacy. It has failed. 3 weeks of war, the US has offered sanctions relief to Iran without Tehran even asking for it...

Just 3 days ago Trump was awfully concerned about the “pallets of cash” sent to Iran a decade ago, but is now going to give them nearly 10x that amount in the middle of a war. Clown show doesn’t begin to describe it.

I am genuinely curious, has there been a case in history where a country has removed sanctions on the country it is actively bombing? reuters.com/business/energ…

The waiver will bring some 140 million barrels of oil to global markets and help relieve pressure on energy supply, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X. huffpost.com/entry/us-allow…

Trump administration officials are making a desperate push to secure every available barrel of oil amid a worsening energy crisis — even if it means lifting sanctions on the very country that they’re fighting against. cnn.it/47cPzSa

Oil prices could reach record highs, analysts warn. Here's what it could mean for the U.S. economy. cbsn.ws/4bqr1I4

Week 1: We won. Khamenei is dead. Week 2: We are winning & don’t need any help. There is nothing left to target, Iran has no navy or missiles left. Week 3: NATO PLEASE HELP! We are lifting sanctions on 140 million barrels of Iranian oil while they are still targeting us & gulf.

What a headline.

I remember when my Republican colleagues blasted Barack Obama over $400M tied to hostages and an old debt with Iran. Now, under Donald Trump, sanctions relief on 140M barrels of Iranian oil could net Tehran up to $15 BILLION — while the U.S. is at war. Where’s the outrage now?
