#US military set to begin its #blockade of #Iran #ports & #coast

The US has vowed to blockade all Iranian ports to pressure Tehran into agreeing to open the crucial #StraitOfHormuz & accepting a peace deal. Iran responded with threats on all the ports of US #allies in the Persian Gulf & the Gulf of Oman.

He🚨sent 3 stooges to botch talking peace, then went to UFC. He’s blockading a blockade. No one in history comes close to this #idiocy‼️
#Trump🚨covets titles, awards & honors. After all, you don't acquire the FIFA Peace Prize, the 1st & only trophy for being the “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal,” the Republican Party’s inaugural “America 1st Award” & someone else’s Nobel Peace Prize in the same year by mere good fortune.

Iran’s foreign minister claims #US intentionally tanked talks.

Writing on X, Abbas Araghchi said #Iran had negotiated with the US in “good faith” for an end to the #war.

“But when just inches away from “Islamabad MoU”, we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, & blockade,” he wrote, using an acronym for “memorandum of understanding.”

He added, “Good will begets good will. Enmity begets enmity.”

This makes no goddamn sense. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, so the US closes the Strait of Hormuz? This is some playground-retort level of bullshit. This does nothing for strategy.

All I can think of is this is another extortion/market manipulation scheme. Iran still has full control of the Strait. I’m looking forward to Trump reversing this and allowing the markets to bounce again, enriching speculators.

“So far,🚨#Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.”

"Good explanation from the Brookings Inst on🚨the problems with the #US trying to forcibly reopen the Strait of Hormuz against Iran’s will. TL;DR🚨Iran has asymmetric advantages to cheaply strike vessels passing through, & markets won’t be reassured until that threat is gone."

Remember how #Vance said he was in constant communication with #Trump?

Well, Trump was at a #UFC fight in Miami while #Iran talks collapsed.

On his way to Florida, Trump said it did not matter to him if a deal with Iran was reached or not: “We win, regardless,” he said.

RE: famichiki.jp/@stopthatgirl7/11…

We’re in trouble, California.

There’s a damn good chance there are going to be two Republicans on the ballot for governor this year.

There is no good Dem candidate on the ballot. I think these accusations are credible, and I think they will stick. He should be investigated and prosecuted, and should drop out from the race.

Katie Porter and Tom Steyer are both neck-and-neck with Chad Bianco. The rest of the Dem slate can barely pull any votes, and should drop out before the primaries (they probably won’t).

This sucks.

AP Exclusive: #Trump admin admits it used faulty numbers in its #NewYork #Medicaid #health “fraud” accusations

Trump’s administration this week acknowledged it made a significant error in figures it used to help justify a fraud probe into New York’s Medicaid program, a glaring mistake that undercuts a federal campaign to tackle waste, mostly in #Democratic-led #states.

The huge proposed increase would be partly offset by steep #cuts to #DomesticPrograms, some of which the #Trump admin describes as wasteful [which means they’re likely crucial social welfare programs].

#Hegseth forces out Army’s top general


Gen. Randy George’s ouster is the latest in a series of clashes between the #Pentagon chief & the service’s senior leadership, an extraordinary move amid the #war in #Iran.


Gen. Randy George had been expected to hold the job of #Army chief of staff until fall 2027, completing a typical 4 years in the post.

…Trump’s speech perpetuated the dissonance that has characterized the #IranWar from the start. In Trump’s first extended speech about the #war, delivered 32 days into it, he did not provide a clearer picture.

This is not the fog of war. It’s the fog of Trump’s rhetoric & perhaps his thoughts.

“Argentina, Israel the United States were the three members voting against the resolution.”

Hmm…

“The United Kingdom and all 27 members of the European Union were among those that abstained.”

I’m seeing a pattern here…

Come on man, if you can’t even say that slavery is a crime against humanity, I don’t know what kind of morals you can even claim to stand on.
