Nothing was accomplished by Operation Epic Fury except putting the IRGC in charge of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
The rumored 60-day ceasefire — with the belief that Iran will ever engage in good faith — would be a disaster. Everything accomplished by Operation Epic Fury would be for naught!

Billionaires know Trump is a crook and either cower to him out of fear or worship him out of greed.
Bezos on Trump: "I think he's a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term. Trump has lots of good ideas. He's been right about a lot of things. You have to give him credit where credit is due."

Even after the past year, forcing American taxpayers to write a $1.7 billion check to your friends and political consultants is likely to be perceived by voters as a whole new level of corruption.

Trump rightly gets a hero's welcome from the CCP after a year of giving them everything they want economically, diplomatically, militarily

Mamdani said this billionaire should be taxed more for his $220 million vacation home in NYC that is assessed at just $9 million. Billionaires are now embracing 'words are violence' that worked so well among the super woke a few years ago.
"You know, he seems to have forgotten that the CEO of another American company was assassinated just blocks from where I live in New York. And to put any citizen in harm's way is just inappropriate for one of our political leaders," Griffin said in an interview on CNBC. Read more here >> cbsloc.al/42jYZsb

Hoping Hassett keeps his job through Election Day. Often one of the best Dem messengers.
Hassett on American consumers: "Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too."

Historic: More voters blame Trump (77%) for gas prices rising than ever blamed Bush, Obama or Biden. A rare majority trifecta of Dems (95%), Indies (82%) & GOP (55%) now blame Trump. And unlike what Trump/Rick Scott argue, 64% say the war hasn't been worth higher gas prices.

nominating somebody who, 5 years ago, would have been drummed out of the party for purity reasons, is a step on the road to fixing that image

Small group of rich guys convinced millions of people to transfer them money for 'transformational technology' that turned out to be just another slot machine. Some people got rich in the crypto casino; most had the same experience as all other gamblers.
Its just remarkable to me how fast crypto became irrelevant. No one built a single thing on it that gained widespread adoption (I guess other than just a payment platform) Remember when it was going to replace the dollar? Laughable.

The major credit card companies are holding Nebraska small businesses hostage. The average household spends nearly $1,200 a year MORE because of credit card swipe fees. Send me to the Senate and I'll break up the duopoly and stand with our small business community.

The thing about the ballroom isn’t that voters care about it per se. They don’t. What they do care about—and are pissed about—is having a President that is focused on dumb stuff like this instead of bringing down prices, which is what he promised them.
Look if Trump wants to keep making the ballroom a big issue, he definitely should. Voters will be thrilled for the President to get a ballroom, on top of the billions he’s grifted, while their grocery and gas prices continue to climb. Great issue for R’s to campaign on in 2026.

Sincere question: do Trump supporters who genuinely want to reduce political violence actually think that lobbing transparently hypocritical accusations about the left's rhetoric is in any way effective? Are we really gonna go through another cycle where MAGA folks point out incendiary rhetoric on the left without ever acknowledging that some of the most violent and incendiary rhetoric in America comes from the President and his supporters? Do you not think the rest of the country has eyes and ears? It's truly awful that President Trump has been the target of political violence. It's also truly awful how he's frequently talked about his political opponents: accusing them of treason, amplifying calls for their execution, publicly celebrating their death, calling them scum, garbage, vermin, animals. It was like 3 weeks ago that he threatened the annihilation of an entire civilization! It was just a few months ago that he and his White House knowingly smeared two Americans who'd been killed by federal agents as domestic terrorists! I hate political violence. I hate what happened last night. Probably 99% of Americans agree. But let's not insult everyone's intelligence by pretending that the most powerful person in the world isn't a huge part of the problem here.

.@Gemini and @coinbase's so-called prediction markets are just illegal gambling operations that expose young people to addictive platforms. Gambling by another name is still gambling. I'm suing to stop these platforms from breaking the law. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-gove…

Remarkable how former conservatives have given up even any rhetorical pretense of caring about debt or inflation. If Trump’s goal is to reduce govt revenues, doesn’t matter how he does it or what happens next
If the goal is to reduce government revenues, it doesn’t really matter how the tax cuts are designed, helicopter cash works just fine

Huh? You bailed in the middle of trial after cutting a sweetheart deal with Live Nation, tried to pressure the rest of us to accept it, but we pressed on and won the trial without you. Congrats to consumers, not to you.
Congratulations to all on this historic liability finding. The DOJ was proud to lead a settlement in this matter that brings the American people instant relief and also applauds the remaining states on today’s liability finding. This is a win for everyone in our country besides Live Nation.
Community note
The DOJ settled its claims against Live Nation separately in March 2026 and withdrew from the antitrust trial; the liability finding resulted from the trial continued by 36 states and DC that rejected the settlement. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St… nbcnews.com/business/consu… pbs.org/newshour/natio…

It’s official: a jury found that Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly. I am so proud to have filed this case on 2024. This may be the most popular antitrust case ever. Kudos to the State AGs for finishing the job. The rule of law is alive and well.

The Trump administration has voiced some tough rhetoric about health insurers. But almost every major decision from Trump officials has benefited insurers and their bottom lines. The new Medicare Advantage rule is the latest example. statnews.com/2026/04/09/medi…
