NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post. Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.
“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps. Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war. Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war. The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.
The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane
Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”
Oy. I actually agree.
That’s why i said ‘his own caricature’
That’s why i said ‘his caricature’
The idea being he is becoming the bs version of someone he hates
This is a step beyond even what Project 2025 was pondering.
Trump is rapidly morphing into his own caricature of Joe Biden.
Photograph of a car with a squirrel inside of it, perched on the steering wheel. The car is the color of champaign at a beige convention, and the squirrel is the color of squirrels. The squirrel is holding a package of crackers in it's mouth. They are the kind like you get at a restaurant, where you get two crackers wrapped in plastic. The driver's side window is slightly cracked. This is how the squirrel got in, and how it got out. It threw the crackers out first, and then climbed out after them. Everything in this operation suggested that this was not the squirrel's first rodeo.
A closeup of the squirrel sitting on the steering wheel. The squirrel deserves a name, so we'll call her Anjeloma, and she's what you might call a winner. She is still squirrel colored. The crackers are white, and labeled "Zest." As if Anjeloma needed more zest. Squirrel, please. You can't see much of the car, but you can see smudges of grunge at the edges of the windshield, where the wipers have cast aside the debris of previous rains and pollen-falls.
The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.
If we're talking about Mark Levin's nasally voice, it's time to pull out the clips of his voice played over Master Shake clips.
Worth noting that in past, Hegseth has explicitly called for bombing Iran’s cultural heritage sites: www.mediamatters.org/pete-hegseth...
So true
Iran, if you’re listening…
Trump on a deal with Iran: "I'm the opposite of desperate. I don't care."
Three right-wing talking points whose logic contradicts each other:
1. No voter ID means illegal immigrants are voting.
2. You need an ID to fly on a plane so you should need one to vote.
3. We need to send ICE to airports to arrest all the illegal immigrants flying on planes.
What the cost of the Iran war could cover if used differently Select services and how many more people they could support with funding equivalent to what is being spent on Iran war Table with 6 columns and 6 rows. People covered by Medicaid for a year Children receiving free school lunch for a school year People housed in Section 8 for a year Children covered for year of child care Adults with free tuition at community college for a two-year associate degree $25 billion Estimated likely cost of war as of March 26, 2026 3,106,000 29,614,000 3,147,000 1,780,000 2,865,000 $200 billion Reported likely request for additional war funding 24,850,000 Every child in the United States, with >$170B left over Every eligible person, with >$60B left over 14,237,000 22,917,000 One 30,000-pound bomb 625 5,925 625 350 575 One Tomahawk missile 275 2,600 275 150 250 One THAAD missile 1,575 15,050 1,600 900 1,450 One Patriot interceptor 500 4,850 525 300 475
New from me: by the end of the week, the war in Iran will likely have cost $25 billion, with Trump poised to ask for $200 billion more
Below is a writeup, but the meat of it is this table, which shows what an equal amount of funding could cover domestically

Newsmax host: “The Strait of Hormuz is not in great shape, as the president claimed”
💯
This is so accurate it hurts
Love that
Sure, but you see…he doesnt appear to have an upper lip. So ipso facto. Qualified. I dont make the rules
Oh fuck yea Trout!
Hmmm. I think may be one of the few objects we havent tried
Trout can catch now though?!
Truth
Screenshots from video of Doberman trying, but failing to catch a ball.

It’s impossible to say how much we have practiced over the years. I am still rooting for her though.
She is just about 12 years old and has never, not once, caught a ball (or anything) her entire life. Desperately wants to, zero skill but total determination.
will review and follow up
