"The Protestant denomination that loved Donald Trump the most in 2024?
Easily the Assemblies of God.
He received 88% of their votes.
There was only one majority white denomination that clearly favored Kamala Harris:
Episcopalians."

#Iran confirmed death of #AliLarijani, believed to be running Iran since the beginning of the #war
A week ago, after #Trump threatened to attack Iran “TWENTY TIMES HARDER” if Tehran stopped #oil flowing through the #StraitOfHormuz, Larijani responded on X∶
“The sacrificial nation of Iran doesn’t fear your empty threats. Even those bigger than you couldn’t eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.”

"The US is no longer a democracy. One of the most credible global sources on the health of democratic nations now says this outright. The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusion in its annual report, that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey."

"‘You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump " theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…
The turning point for Amir was the Israeli strikes on fuel depots in Tehran last week, with one attack on the Shahran oil depot overshadowing the capital with black smoke. A rain shower later covered trees, homes and cars with layers of toxic oil.
“I genuinely believe now they [the US and Israel] didn’t have a plan. I was still hoping I was wrong, but the Shahran attack changed the way I look at this war right now,” he said. “If the regime is what you want to hit, even if you think these depots were used by the regime, where do you draw the line? What about us, the ordinary Iranians? We rely on this civil infrastructure. Why take away our ability to govern in the future? Who can rebuild utter ruins?”

„Titanic“-Statue von Trump und Epstein auf der National Mall sorgt für Aufruhr
Anonyme Künstler haben auf der National Mall erneut eine Trump-Installation aufgestellt. Das goldlackierte Werk zeigt ihn mit Jeffrey Epstein wie in „Titanic“. Eine Analyse.www.fr.de
"The news cycle hasn’t just moved on [from Epstein]: we are now deep into the testosterone zone, the fizzing, almost sexual excitement of war. This is what the early stages of all wars look like. …
AI, like war, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power."

Hooked on dopamine, fuelled by testosterone, powered by AI: this is the broligarchs’ war
Three weeks ago, briefly, the world was focused on Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of women and girls. Now, as conflict rages, the tide of hyper-masculinity has risen again, writes Carole CadwalladrCarole Cadwalladr (The Nerve)
"Lindsey Graham’s bloodlust is a disgusting example of privilege. Mike says Lindsey is calling for the sons and daughters of South Carolina to join up and head over to Iran to fight this 'holy war.' Well, until Lindsey, and Barron Trump for that matter, enlist in the armed forces and head over for active combat, they can just sit this one out and shut up."

Why Is Donald Trump Still Lying About the U.S. Bombing a School in Iran?
Plus: Lindsey Graham is a ____ (take your pick on the fill in the blank)Katie Phang
"There has been little in the way of visible success, even if our bombs are (mostly) hitting their targets. Here at home, the most obvious effect of the war is a dramatic increase in oil prices, which is something people really don’t like.
Add it up, and you have the least popular war in history, at least at this stage."
"Here’s what’s influencing people’s understanding of the war:
There was never any widespread belief that Iran was an immediate threat to the U.S.
The risks of regional instability are ample, while there is no obvious reward for the U.S. in this war.
The president is deeply unpopular."

"The Trump regime is seeking to deflect blame and avoid responsibility for the largest civilian massacre by the U.S. military [at a girls' school in Minab, Iran] since the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. It’s vitally important to understand what has actually happened and how the White House is now seeking to shift the narrative and evade accountability."

"They’re not confused. The administration and its allies are running multiple arguments at the same time, and the arguments don’t need to be consistent with each other. They just need to do the same job: keeping Congress out of the decision-making process and letting Trump do whatever the hell he wants."

"Over the last few days the markets started to go south. So did the optics and politics of the war. And so Trump’s now looking to end it.
This process will have plenty of zigs and zags. Pulling a TACO in war isn’t simple. Once you’ve decided to 'Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war,' it’s not as easy to get the fierce dogs of war back in the kennel as it is the docile puppies of tariffs."

As Aaron Parnas reports this morning, Trump is now threatening to rain "Death, Fire, and Fury" on Iran (though, of course, he imagines the word "rain" is spelled "reign" — since he truly knows no better).
His threats have to do with the fact that the Strait of Hormuz is now impassable due to his war, and this is affecting the global economy, creating political problems for him and Republicans in the US.

"U.S./Israeli force mounted another series of strikes, these on oil storage sites across the vast city of Tehran. The effect was astonishing—a cloud of truly toxic smoke—and I think it needs more notice than it’s been getting, even amidst all the other horrors of this war. This was in essence chemical warfare, even if the chemicals were the (easily anticipated) result of 'normal' bombs."
