A mad king’s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

My instant reaction at 3 a.m. yesterday was not whether Khamenei would be killed or oil prices or anything else but this

This undeclared, unexplained war is illegal. Full stop

28 hours later, it is still the worse abuse of power in U.S. history. Impeach

February 27, 2026 On Monday, February 23, Daniel Ruetenik, Pat Milton, and Cara Tabachnick of CBS News reported a newly uncovered document in the Epstein files shows that the U.S.

"...Wyden said: “It appears Epstein was involved in criminal activity that went way beyond pedophilia and sex trafficking, which makes it even more outrageous that [Attorney General] Pam Bondi is sitting on several million unreleased files.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Sign across the street says it all

The thing about going to war in Iran is that we still haven’t seen the documents detailing how the President of the United States raped and tortured little girls.

I've written a couple of times about how war with Iran is bound to increase domestic antisemitism and today I see this in CNN

Live updates: U.S. military begins 'major combat operations in Iran,' Trump says Follow the latest news and live updates after Israel says it has launched a preemptive strike against Iran.

www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/l... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy Donald Trump has his war. US military under the direction of Israel has gone to war with Iran. No Congressional notice was given. Americans will die for Israel. Is this finally a bridge too far for Trump?

20 minutes ago Robert Jimison The constitution grants Congress alone the power to formally declare war, something that even Republicans on Capitol Hill have sought to remind Trump of this week. In his video remarks, the president indicated that he understood this operation to be a war, citing the possibility of American "casualties that often happens in war." His declaration that "no president was willing to do what I am willing to tonight" speaks to the likely unilateral decision-making from the White House.

An action so lawless even the New York Times can’t both-sides it.

And, there are also a lot of people in the government - Pete Hegseth is one - who hew to the Christian Reconstructionist theological scheme that rejects "Rapture" theology and says that Christians must conquer the earth, for god.

I'm still on my first cup of coffee and processing the news itself, so can't quite get my head around what Polymarket is saying here: Is it that Iranians should be monitoring Polymarket to see if their children will be murdered the next day?

Trump is pursuing war in Iran without congressional approval, with little appetite among his base for another regime-change operation in the Middle East, and with allies in the region having discouraged it, Nancy A. Youssef and Jonathan Lemire report: theatln.tc/UHnAEJAr

Charlie Kirk poll from June 2025:

what the shit

There's always a tweet:

Nobody wants this war except Netanyahu, and Trump didn’t even bother trying to explain it to the American people. They really think they’ll never be held accountable for their actions, and we have to prove them wrong.

How Trump will fill his immigrant gulags DHS is rewriting its detention rules to ignore the law—and entrap millions.

During the 2024 election cycle, nobody contributed more to Rep. Landsman’s campaign than AIPAC ($385,808). 👇

A fascist authoritarian pedophile who is MURDERING Americans in the streets, building concentration camps, and attempting to rig the 2026 midterm elections w/ a voter suppression plot called the SAVE Act says to the people of Iran "All I want is freedom for the people." 😂🤣😂🤣

Trump said Iran meddled in American elections so he can use war with Iran to meddle in American elections.

With the attack on Iran, what the rest of the world now recognizes is this: America's pedophile president has become the useful idiot of Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel.

NEW: In a statement, VoteVets calls out Donald Trump for recklessly launching an unconstitutional, aimless war with Iran, ignoring warnings and endangering lives while lying to Americans. Republicans must hold him accountable.

Live with Ruth Ben-Ghiat & Joyce Vance No one speaks more eloquently about the art of resistance and why we shouldn’t give up than historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, the author of Lucid here on Substack.

Authoritarianism scholar Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains why she believes Americans are succeeding at developing systems to resist the slide into authoritarianism and why we shouldn’t give up. joycevance.substack.com/p/live-with-...

This is what congress does with all the monies 🤑

"We're going to hold ourselves accountable as well," Hegseth said in the video. "As a final message to our warriors, the Ivy League faculty lounges may loathe you, the so-called elite of academia may mock your patriotism and disdain your sacrifice, but never forget that we the War Department have your back."

Fuck you, Pete. I’ve taught social theory to career officers whose shoes you aren’t fit to shine.
