I still don’t think the market or the country understands the economic storm that is starting to hit us.
NEW: In a letter to employees, United CEO Scott Kirby says the airline is prepping for oil to hit $175/barrel & “doesn't get back down to $100/barrel until the end of 2027.” United is shaving 3% of off-peak flights - “think redeyes, Tues/Wed/Sat flying” - this spring & summer.

This is truly amazing. If you wanted to do this ridiculous thing, there was at least a way to avoid putting money directly into Iranian government hands. But, that would require thought, strategy, and diplomatic work. They chose the dumbest way to do this deeply dumb thing.
BREAKING: US Treasury eases oil sanctions on Iran, including permiting the sale of Iranian crude and refined products into the United States. Scott Bessent calls it a "narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea."

Unreal. The Trump administration is putting money directly in the hands of the regime currently shooting at American soldiers.

Pls thank Mike Johnson and Donald Trump for the TSA lines this week.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans. https://t.co/QeKkdBIL8Z

If you took all the undocumented people that have illegally voted since 1988, and multiplied it by all of transgender athletes that played in any college sport in the year 2025, your total would still be 37,720 less than the amount of times Trump was mentioned in the Epstein

I’m old enough to remember this line used again and again by Trump and Republicans. What say you Republicans now about it $14 BILLION Trump is giving Iran as he sends thousands of US troops into harms way?

not the main point here, but has a political party ever been gifted such incredible messaging as Democrats now? President focused on building stuff for himself, naming stuff for himself, enriching self and family plus nonsense games like the below while your gas prices are
"After this story was published, the White House called the Kennedy Center, and made clear that Maher would not receive the [Twain] prize. ... Karoline Leavitt also then sent us a statement: 'This is fake news. Bill Maher will NOT be getting this award.'"

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.

Is it bad when the Vice Admiral who was *checks notes* in charge of naval planning for CENTCOM says that a ground operation into Iran is a horrendous idea?
Mr President, Do not! Please! Do not put a detachment ashore in Iran. Every wargame ends badly for the invasion force, Iran’s civilians, and the world's economy. It is a quagmire without end. Call victory and leave.

High ranking military who’ve run war games on Iran scenarios are begging the President to stop. This is not normal. They’re trying to break through the bubble of lies surrounding Trump. Trying to save military lives.
