So now we learn from Republicans that when you bomb a country for a week, sink their entire Navy, and kill their military and political leadership, that is not an act of war.

Maybe they can just go with Putin’s term - Special Military Operation.

Time for the wartime consigliere.

6 American service members killed, but it's decorations, dinners and drapes on Trump's mind today.

I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.

By Killing Khamenei, the West Created a Martyr – and Mainstream Media Is Ignoring the Muslim Backlash Ali Khamenei was not Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi. Killing him will have religious reverberations throughout the Muslim world for years to come.

"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didn’t just strike Iran’s government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority – and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli

At least they are blaming Vance instead of Biden this time.

Happy Women’s History Month! Here’s to the Texas women who refused to be sidelined and made history anyway.

I spend enough time w/ countless parents to know the majority love their children & only want to feed & house them, keep them safe from gun violence, believe in health care/vaccinations & want the best public schools! Too many don’t make a livable wage. youtu.be/-y7-m2LppTo?... go.bsky.app/Rq8aZDE

Pete Hegseth, the most incompetent, corrupt, and viciously stupid Secretary of Defense in American history:

"We didn't start the war we started; we're going to end the war we have no plan to end."

This is all going swimmingly so far.

Thank you Marcie! Always appreciated ☮️

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch i

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.

As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

Trump: "The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge. In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these 'Correspondents' now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER! Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Trump: "The WCHA has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner ... In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these 'Correspondents' now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., it will be my Honor"

MARGE: " Pete Hegseth said this morning that we didn't start this war. But...America and Israel definitely started this war...I am irate. I am furious about this. We are nearly $40 trillion in debt. How much is this war going to cost us?"

6 Americans are dead

Senate Dems aim to disrupt Trump bid to declare national emergency on elections The fast-track process would ensure a public vote and put pressure on Republicans to take a position.

🚨BREAKING: If President Donald Trump attempts to declare a national emergency to seize control of federal elections, Senate Democrats say they are ready to force an immediate vote aimed at blocking it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I actually owe Trump and Hegseth an apology. I mocked them for renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, but they’ve sure made that new name an accurate one.

The cruel irony is that Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.

We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

Ayatollah is gone, and now what? The main question that remains is: what is our goal? Full thoughts on my Substack and YouTube pages.

Substack: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/update-video-iran

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

TAPPER: US troops have died. You really don't think there's any role for Congress other than being informed?

REP. GIMENEZ: Not right now

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting a CNN exchange. The text includes Blitzer asking about U.S. military losses if the war drags on, and Mullin responding that it is not a war and that the U.S. has not declared war on Iran. Below is a CNN split-screen showing Wolf Blitzer on the left and Senator Markwayne Mullin on the right, with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner reading: “W: TRUMP SAYS NEW IRANIAN LEADERS ‘WANT TO TALK.’”

This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.

Boebert: Mr. Epstein comments, "Hey, Hillary Clinton is much prettier in person."

Clinton: I’m not going to object to that.

A clip from the moment Hillary Clinton found out Lauren Boebert took an unauthorized photo of her deposition: 'I'm done!'

Bill Clinton: And he somehow knew I had flown in Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft. And he said, "You know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal." and he said, "I'm sorry it happened.”

Thanks so much for including me Donald ☮️

Screenshot of an X post by BRICS News reading, “JUST IN: Iran strikes Saudi Arabia's Aramco Ras Tanura oil refinery.” Below is an image of an industrial oil facility with a large spherical storage tank and thick black smoke billowing into the sky, suggesting a major fire or explosion at the site.

This is a troubling escalation with potentially devastating consequences for global stability and the world economy.

Heated Exchange between Hillary Clinton and Nancy Mace

UPDATE: “Remains” of 2 more 🇺🇸 service members recovered - 6 total killed in a Trump’s war of choice

Trump has said “that’s the way it is” and to expect more

Boebert: Have you reviewed any Epstein files that were released that you believe reference or relate to those specific 2016 claims regarding the Podesta emails Comet ping pong pizza used as code possibly.

Clinton: Pizzagate was totally made up. I can't believe you're even referencing it
