US Military Using Claude to Select Targets in Iran Strikes Despite a widely publicized stance against the Trump administration, the Pentagon still weaponized Claude in its attacks against Iran.

"Anthropic’s role comes as news if you thought the company’s ethical redlines precluded it from any military work whatsoever. It's been roiled in a messy conflict with the Trump administration over the use of Claude for surveillance of US citizens & for fully-autonomous, lethal weaponry."

#Pentagon officials told congressional staffers there WAS no imminent #Iranian attack, undercutting Trump’s stated justification that recent US strikes on #Iran were "necessary to protect #American personnel". As polls show a MAJORITY of #Americans OPPOSE the military action

MADRID, March 2 (Reuters)-U.S. aircraft have left the Rota & Moron military bases in southern Spain since the U.S. & Israel launched weekend attacks on Iran.
Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said Spain would not allow its military bases to be used for attacks on Iran, which Spain has condemned.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Bernie Sanders is proposing a 5% billionaire wealth tax that would fund $3,000 checks for Americans The bill from Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Ro Khanna could raise $4.4 trillion over 10 years, according to one analysis.

www.businessinsider.com/bernie-sande... The flashiest proposal is a one-time, $3,000 direct payment to each American in households making $150,000 annually or less β€” meaning $12,000 for a family of four.

Trump tells Tapper today "the big one is coming", that they haven't started the big push.
Saw a report where he apparently told press navy has sunk Iranian navy bigly. Haven't fact checked that. Share if you know.

Why? To what point? What is the objective that can't be met any other way?
I give you a girls' school attacked where over 100 died. Little girls-Little girls ages 8-12. Reports say a mistake based on old, faulty intel.
Is there no other way, Marco?

The US had plenty of leverage on Israel to tamp down any action they planned. Need smart people who know the long history of the region, have some diplomatic ability, can follow Constitutional law that includes more than trying to circumvent it.

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war.

The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy.

Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

Pentagon mood: β€œintense and paranoid.”

Turns out lighting a regional powder keg has consequences. Air defenses draining. Retaliation spreading. Leaders worried it could spiral.

But hey β€” I was told this was β€œstrength.” Looks more like geopolitical roulette with live ammo.

The Pentagon should be paranoid. They’ve taken illegal orders from Krasnov, that will benefit Russia and China, and threaten America’s military readiness. They know they are dealing with a criminal.

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

🚨NEW: The number of seriously injured U.S. soldiers in President Trump’s regime change war in Iran has more than tripled, the Pentagon confirms.

CNN and Al Jazeera, citing U.S. officials, report the total has risen from 5 to 18 following Iran’s retaliatory attacks. At least 4 U.S. soldiers have also been killed. 

During a Medal of Honor ceremony honoring three U.S. Army service members, Trump meandered into a discussion about interior design and construction at the White House:

– He pointed out "nice" gold drapes, remarking, "I picked those drapes. I always liked gold".

– He noted that behind the drapes was a "very, very deep hole" that would become a "very, very beautiful building" and "the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world" in about a year and a half.

– He joked the new ballroom needed to be finished quickly so the First Lady could stop complaining about the 6 a.m. jackhammers. β€œWill these piledrivers ever stop?” he said, mimicking her.
