Reporter: "the US struck a school in Iran. As Commander in Chief, do you take responsibility for that?"
Trump: "I don't know about that!"
The lack of compassion for the dead children of the country he *claims* to help to freedom, I astonishing (though not surprising 😏)

Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake.

Surging oil prices have sparked fears that a prolonged conflict with Iran could inflict steep financial costs on Americans

Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict
Fox News using the body of a service member who sacrificed his life for his country to scrub the image of an incoherent narcissist who lied to avoid his own service. Disgraceful.
✨ SUPER SUNDAY PARTY ✨
It is my honor, on International Women's Day, to highlight the legend that is Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
She opened the door for the many women that now follow *their* beliefs & values.
Never let anyone tell you "you can't do it"!
Spots open for my pack tonight. Interested 🤚🏼👇🏼

Trump’s behavior makes even our worst past presidents look like Boy Scouts, writes former GOP Rep. David Trott.
Some commanders claim the Iran war is serving Christ. Haven't they noticed the fake Christian in the White House?
“America has been at war for nearly a week, but the president who started the war can’t explain why,” Adam Serwer argues:
“You may be grieving at first, but, believe me, you’ll be smiling when you see how much less you’re shelling out every month,” said President Donald Trump
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
Remember all those boasts about jobs and gasoline prices in the State of the Union? www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Zv...

The Justice Department has released documents detailing interviews conducted by the FBI with a woman who accused both Jeffrey Epstein and President Donald Trump of sexual assault.
U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran — and no side has yet taken responsibility.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“By trying to silence journalists, autocrats and aspiring autocrats hope to make the world ignore what they are doing. The rest of us should refuse to do so,” the editorial board writes.
“A government’s overriding duty, said Sánchez, was to protect and improve the lives of its citizens, not to manipulate or profit from global conflicts.” US politicians need to get much better at this kind of positive articulation of values
Add Cuba to the pile of Iran and Venezuela.
“People are loving what’s happening,” Trump insisted. He predicted that Iran’s government would not be the last to buckle in a Trump-initiated confrontation: “Cuba’s going to fall, too.”
