Swalwell: "We have a 70-plus-year history of failure not just in Iran, but all over the world, of trying to force regime change. By the way, it's being led by a guy who has more plans for the ballroom he's trying to build than anything he's gonna do next in the Middle East."

Irish PM Micheál Martin: "Europe is still a very good place to live…Our economy is going well because we're attracting a lot of people from Europe and beyond to work legally…I think sometimes Europe gets characterized wrongly in terms of it being overrun."

There are some 3,000 patients on dialysis machines in Cuba who are at risk of dying from a prolonged blackout.
Tweet from Acyn reporting CNN breaking news that Cuba’s electrical grid has completely collapsed, causing a nationwide blackout. The image shows a dim city skyline at dusk with a domed building silhouetted, alongside a CNN banner reading “Cuba’s electrical grid suffers total collapse.”

I'm sorry but I have a real problem with a draft dodger playing war games with our military. War is not a game and people's lives are at stake. And he won't even respond to basic questions about the deaths of these soldiers or military personnel. #USDemocracy

Voter ID is common sense. I’ve always supported voter ID. The SAVE Act is not a voter ID bill. It goes way, way, way beyond voter ID. It’s a voter suppression bill.

Again, I'm just a bit confused with the mixed messaging here. He says he's the greatest President of all time, no one had numbers like his......... so why does he have to rig the 2026 vote? And if Dems rig elections, how come he's President? How does one so unqualified win if they don't cheat?

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Trump and his foreign policy/nat security/trade officials have done nothing but attack, demean and insult our NATO allies. Then when they refuse to join his Iran War he alternates between pouting and threatening. The time to include allies in a coalition is BEFORE you go to war.

There's just no pretense whatsoever about being loyal to or even understanding the constitutional order of this country. Trump thinks this country should be run like a mafia state and he's equal parts angry and confused when it's not.

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal’s family has released a statement following his death less than 24 hours after entering ICE custody. He was a husband, a father of six, and an Afghan wartime ally who worked alongside U.S. Special Forces. Full statement below ⬇️
#AFGHAN
EVAC
Statement from Paktyawal family - March 15, 2026
Regarding the death of Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal while in ICE custody
"Our family is in deep shock and pain after losing Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal.
Nazeer was a loving husband and father. He had six children who depended on him every day. The youngest is only 18 months old. His children adored him, and he worked hard every day to take care of them and build a future for them in the United States.
For many years Nazeer worked alongside American forces during the war in Afghanistan. It was dangerous work, but he believed in helping bring stability to his country and protecting the people around him. After Afghanistan fell, the United
States helped evacuate our family in 2021, and we came here hoping for safety and a better life.
Since arriving in America, Nazeer focused on providing for his family. He worked, supported his children, and tried to build a peaceful life after everything our family had been through.
The morning he was taken away, he was getting ready to drive his children to school. His children watched as he was surrounded and taken away. That moment will stay with them forever.
Later that night we were told he had been taken to the hospital. The next morning we were told that he had died.
We still cannot understand how this happened. He was only 41 years old and was a strong and healthy man. His children keep asking when their father will come home.
Right now our family is trying to comfort six children who have lost their father. We are heartbroken and trying to process this loss.
We ask for prayers for Nazeer and for strength for his children and our family during this painful time."
###
This statement is being shared with the public by AfghanEvac at the Paktyawal family's request.
