OBAMA: He pulled out of the JCPOA, starts this war—Seven months later, six months after they declared victory, how's that war going?  Our allies and our bases have been attacked. Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles. And Iran now has veto power over the strait of hormuz, where oil goes through to the world market.  This is the reason why the price of oil is up. Nobody disputes that. This is the reason the price of diesel is up. This is the reason why the price of just about everything is up. Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on important matters: the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops.  These are not serious people. And the problem is you end up having to pay the price for their lack of seriousness.

I'm sorry, I can't get over this. The most powerful person on earth is using the full force of government to jail a 67-year-old over an error his *own administration* oversaw. It is the epitome of government "weaponization." Mind-blowing hypocrisy. It's unconscionable.

I am a single-issue voter, and that issue is: Can you correctly identify who won the 2020 presidential election? Because if you can't, you will never, ever have my vote.

I regret nothing. Even if the ending never comes, the ride was well worth it. I’ve made peace with whatever happens.
Feeling vindication in my decision to not start reading the song of ice and fire books. I got burned by starting the wheel of time books and I’m not starting a big fantasy series unless it’s already finished.

One of my favorite Deng anecdotes.
My simple test whenever I meet anyone in DC making strong claims about China is “Do you know who Deng Xiaoping is?” And the failure rate is way higher than you might think

“Wemby played 48 minutes, had 41 points, 24 rebounds and 3 blocks, changed 20 other shots and made a must-make 30 footer from the Curry spot, and by the end of the game the OKC fans looked like they’d just been strip-searched — anyway he’s our player of the game.”

Saying "this is not a golden calf" as you put up a golden calf doesn't cancel that fact out.
Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump. Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America. It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed. Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world. I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly. I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible. Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence. And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful. God bless President Trump. God bless every Patriot. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸 #PresidentTrump #SpiritualDiplomats #TrumpDoral #TrumpStatueDedication #AmericaFirst #PatriotMovement #FaithFreedomPatriotism

The Oracle told Trump that if he should send an army against the Persians, he'll destroy a great empire, so I wouldn't worry about this too much.

By accepting large numbers of refugees--political, religious, economic--we not only improve their lives, we remind ourselves that America is exceptional, a country committed to freedom, self-invention, and a constant state of becoming.
Daughter of a refugee. American hero.

The evil done by this administration—from its lawless rampage in Minnesota, to deporting persecuted people back to totalitarian states, to taking food and medicine from starving children, often while blaspheming the name of Christ—is staggering. May justice roll like a river.

Uh, this is a wild thing for Kavanaugh to say. In 2022, the Supreme Court essentially made it impossible to sue immigration officials for excessive force—*with Kavanaugh in the majority.* The cognitive dissonance is unreal.
Sincerely wondering: what remedies does Justice Kavanaugh believe are and should be available in federal court these days for excessive force violations by federal immigration officials?

I am feeling reminiscent about back in early 2021 when the stimulus was flowing and acute labor market shortages were occurring despite employment being down millions, and many short-term thinkers declared "isn't this great?". Many are using similar thinking about tariffs.

1. Kids are great 2. Parents are not better than other people 3. Everyone is called to the kind of sacrifices and joys that parenthood requires, but you gotta hustle more to find them without kids or vows

The New York Times estimate of how many people would die from USAID cuts *this year* is just staggering. Nearly two million from AIDS relief cuts, half a million from vaccine cuts and from food aid cuts each, 600,000 from of malaria and tuberculosis cuts. Genuinely monstrous
Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington. The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust. Here's a giftlink to my report from ground level about what the shutdown of USAID means: nytimes.com/interactive/2025…
