Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Moskowitz: I want to end on a happy note. I got you a new Coast Guard blankie, the one you lost.

‘It’s not acceptable’: Will a small town be left $7.8m on the hook for the World Cup? At a meeting of the board that governs the World Cup stadium in Foxborough, promises were made if not accepted

Outside Boston last night, the local government remains concerned they'll be left on the hook for nearly $8mil in World Cup-related security expenses. And still, nobody knows who'll pay.

7 World Cup matches hang in the balance.

Two headlines, both from this morning:

Bessent Says Trump’s Tariff Hike to 15% Likely Coming This Week Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that President Donald Trump’s plan to increase a 10% universal tariff up to 15% will likely be done this week.

Words cannot express the insanity of slapping across-the-board inflationary tariffs in the middle of waging an inflationary war. It’s like they’re trying to crash the market or someth— ah, I see now

Hegseth mentions the six Americans who died and then does a hard pivot: "I liken Iran's predicament to a football team ... "

Trump and Hegseth have everything figured out. We got strategic geniuses running this operation.

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

Comparing noems dog killing to Minneapolis

Trump and his incompetent administration had no plan to get Americans out of danger after their planned attack on Iran.

Now, American citizens are stuck in an active war zone.

This is a complete disaster.

Trump sent our kids into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida.

Americans do not want another endless, costly war in the Middle East. They want health care and lower prices.

So far, we’ve gotten into:

1. The oil-tanker escort business
2. The shipping-insurance business
3. The militia-arms and finance business

And it’s only Tuesday.

How Trump Decided to Go to War

The New York Times, with supporting testimony today from the Secretary of State himself, reports that Israel dragged the United States into war with Iran. This is … not great. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...

Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

President Trump launched strikes on Iran after a weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia, according to four people familiar with the matter.

U.S. intelligence assessments saw no imminent threat, but regional allies argued to strike.

While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club — in between fundraisers and parties.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

FIFA has officially issued President Trump a yellow card. If he assassinates another world leader, it’ll become an automatic red card and he won’t be eligible for another FIFA Peace Prize for 4 years.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

MLS. AFTER. DARK. IS. BACK.

FINAL. 2-2 draw for #SportingKC against a good Crew team. Big improvement from last week.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Home opener tonight. Let’s go Sporting!

You can just say things.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

It’s a new era for Sporting KC. Here’s what has changed under new leadership New head coach, recently new front office, a host of new players ... Suffice to say there’s a lot to get acquainted with.

Just from walking into a #SportingKC's training session there are noticeable differences. And in many cases it is bringing new life.

Same goals, same vision. Different process.

ACLU sues to block Kansas anti-transgender bathroom and ID law: ‘Cruel and horrifying’ Kansas this week invalidated the IDs of transgender Kansans who changed the gender marker on their driver’s licenses or birth certificates. The ACLU is suing to stop the law, which also restricts bathroom use, saying it violates the constitutional rights of residents.

NEW: The American Civil Liberties Union has sued to block a new Kansas law that invalidated the drivers’ licenses and birth certificates of transgender residents. The suit was filed on behalf of two transgender men who live in Lawrence, Kansas.
