Boy is this weird. So many contradictory reports coming from Trump's entourage.
• The US planned for a 4-5 day operation that would weaken the Iranian negotiating position
• Yesterday, the US reached out to Tehran through Italian mediators requesting a ceasefire
• The Iranians rejected this

What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone?
—Bertolt Brecht
They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.
They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.
We do not have serious people running our country.
What's the real reason for this war in Iran? Trump and Netanyahu are using the same authoritarian playbook. A big part of that playbook is using war to blot out your failures and any criticism you are facing at home.
Some thoughts...
San Jose’s proposed ALPR policy changes are “extremely limited reforms that fall far short of what is necessary,” EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @MercuryNews.com, and could easily be reversed. “A better solution is to simply turn these cameras off.” www.mercurynews.com/2026/02/26/...

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep
This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil

True. I don't understand that level of blatant hypocrisy at all — apart from unrestrained greed, that is.

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Why this attack is foolish and damaging, even from a Realpolitik calculus
Quite apart from its gross illegality and total lack of cause, there are no serious war objectives here or favorable outcomes
How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump “lost patience with negotiations”.
I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.
This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
