A QUICK IRAN SIEGE UPDATE:
We waited to do this deliberately. It was strategic. We let the naval blockade start to crush Iran’s ability to get goods in/out & shut down its income. We knew they would adapt to overland routes for everything they could, & whats left of their entire economy would become 100%… https://t.co/iufnOwsDKx

It is too soon to calibrate the direction of the post midterm Democratic and Republican Parties.

SOME OF US HAVE BEEN TELLING THE GOP THIS FOR A WHILE:
The GOP is going to get a look in the weeks and months ahead at just how ruthless the new Dem majorities in Congress are going to be in trying to press their sudden advantage that is greater than they expected.

A LOSS FOR THE COUNTRY: I am sorry to see Harmeet Dhillon leave the Department of Justice. She’s been a tough and tireless defender of civil rights. Thank you, Harmeet! I’m sure it wasn’t always a picnic.
Yesterday, there were a couple of posts on X accusing Harmeet, who practices the Sikh faith, of being a “demon worshipper” and stating that there is no room in the Republican Party for such such persons. Ordinarily, I might chalk it up to some jerk in some sh*t hole country just trying to stir things up. But these posts purported to be from the Notre Dame College Republicans and the University of Georgia College Republicans and were coming from within the United States, so I feel obligated to tell them to drop dead.
AND THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT TRUMP’S LANGUAGE:

THEY ARE VISCERALLY OPPOSED TO ANYTHING GREAT OR COOL:
Elon Musk gave us prevalent electric cars, reusable rockets, free speech, anywhere internet, hyperloop, and is giving sight to blind people. He employs thousands, and creates good paying jobs. I can't figure out for the life of me why the left is hell bent on destroying him.

UPDATE:
Elon Musk is the Benjamin Franklin of our time – it’s a miracle what he’s doing.
So what do the Democrats want to do with him? Put him in prison.
You better wake up and fight for what’s right, right now.
