The president said he understood the risks of an attack, but he conveyed to Mr. Carlson that he had no choice but to join a strike that Israel would launch.

After Mr. Carlson left the White House midday on Feb. 23, he told others he thought Mr. Trump was leaning toward military action.

The impressions you get from this article:
*Netanyahu made the decision to attack.
*Trump went along with it.
*Internal voices urging caution (Generals, and uh, Tucker Carlson) were ignored.
*Voices arguing for escalation (Vance) gained influence (gift link)

A striking thing about Trump's social media activity over the past 24 hours is that from it you'd barely know we're at war. He's been posting news articles from over 2 years ago, spamming posts w/ positive reviews of his SOTU speech, & now posting stuff like this. The guy really lives in a bubble.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Yes, everything is terrible but I was just walking down the street and this hulking young man was coming the other way, his face all pierced and tattooed, doing that thing young thugs sometimes do: singing very loudly and aggressively so it’s very clear to everyone that he Doesn’t Give A Fuck.
