Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

You say things like “not a single person in the entire Trump Administration has the first clue how to do their jobs” and you sound like a crazed lunatic but it really is true.

"Aside from the internment camps used to incarcerate Japanese Americans in the 1940s, such facilities have no precedent in American history..."

Does Iran have a nuclear weapon? Iran does not yet have a nuclear weapon, but it has a long history of engaging in secret nuclear weapons research in violation of its international commitments. Western analysts say the country has the knowledge and infrastructure to produce a nuclear weapon in fairly short order should its leaders decide to do so.

It’s obscene to have this draft dodger whose children *never* served and whose father never served and whose grandfather was kicked out of Germany for dodging service, wheezing platitudes about the unnecessary deaths he caused to other people’s children who did serve their country.

Three US service members and more than a hundred schoolgirls were just killed.

“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about “eagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem.

I cannot imagine what the families of our brave troops-forced into this war against Iran-must think when they hear the supposed commander in chief speak like this

I'm so sorry. I hope all of our service members stay safe.

The one qualification to be a member of Trump's Cabinet is to believe in nothing except your own money and power.

White text: "Over 4,400. The number of times federal courts have found that ICE illegally detained people since October 2025." Red ACLU logo. Tinted red photo of immigration and law enforcement in helmets.

A report by Reuters found that courts ruled ICE illegally jailed people more than 4,400 times. The Trump administration's unlawful, anti-immigrant rampage must be checked.

Tell Congress at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks- to hold the line and rein in ICE's abuses now.

We're apparently taking the atrocities committed in Gaza and expanding them to Iran

The closer you look the more signs you see that ICE charters are a mess. In one one week:
-Omni ICE flight had a 7-hour sit, then possible depressurization
-2nd Omni flight stranded in blizzard for 14 hours
-Air Wisconsin ICE flight emergency return
-Eastern ICE flight diverted
-Global X emergency

"Suckers" and "losers."

Public health disaster

JFC you guys — do better.

He literally shrugged and said “…that’s the way it is…”

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & •58m Reports of Tehran's Gandhi Hospital being damaged during today's bombardment of the Iranian capital are extremely worrying. X @WHO is working to verify the incident. But it serves as a reminder that all efforts must be taken to prevent health facilities from being caught up in the ongoing conflict. Health facilities are protected under international humanitarian law. Health is #NotATarget

+ The UN education agency, UNESCO, says that the bombing of a primary school during the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran on Saturday constitutes a grave violation of humanitarian law.

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

More important than ever. Register to vote, and if you already are, check your voter registration status often.

Screenshot of news article printed in Yahoo from Jewish Insider: “Platner faced blowback this week for boosting a social media comment about a looming war with Iran by Stew Peters, a neo-Nazi influencer who has frequently espoused antisemitic tropes and engaged in Holocaust denial. Platner's team said the post was made in error and "immediately" removed it after learning it elevated a "despicable account." In late January, however, Platner sat for a lengthy online interview with Nate Cornacchia, a retired Green Beret who has also promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. Near the end of their hour-long conversation, Platner, a fellow military veteran, called himself "a longtime fan" of Cornacchia's YouTube channel, "Valhalla VFT," and said it was "an absolute pleasure being" on the show.”

Screenshots of the Valhalla VFT YouTube channel thumbnails include vile racist images of the “Somali fraud scandal” and “robberies and looting” due to SNAP benefits being cut, depicting black people robbing stores

Graham Platner, the guy who had to cover his Nazi tattoo to save his senate campaign in Maine, went on the YouTube channel “Valhalla VFT” in January where he said he’s a “longtime fan of the show.” Check out these vile racist thumbnails from the channel & reporting on the antisemitic host.

"Capped"
"Extraordinary"
"Glitzy"
"Striking"
"a departure from his predecessors"

Ten years in, and they're still torturing the English language & writing in euphemisms.

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

And they're rewarded with little credit and few views.

THIS IS ONLY GOING TO GET MORE CRUCIAL.

Of note: No senior Trump administration officials or cabinet members appeared on the Sunday shows today. The major TV networks all requested guests. Such requests are standard practice but are considered especially important right now. Full story here >>> www.cnn.com/2026/03/01/m...

How absolutely callous and cavalier from a guy who ran away from war claiming "bone spurs." We have three KIA. We have more wounded. All casualties. Not a word for the families. Just declaring it a "great deal" for the world.
