Trump claims Iran has been “destroyed” and “obliterated” in one day but also that the bombing is “pinpoint.” And as if regime change were not an ambitious enough objective now says the goal is peace “throughout… the world.”
This kind of wild talk does not inspire confidence, to put it mildly.
Not the most important thing going on now but still dismaying: Apparently officers can only spend time at right-wing think tanks and universities now. Hegseth is politicizing and dumbing down the military. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

My big takeaway from the invasion of Iraq—which I regret having supported—is that the US should go to war only when it has to. It should not engage in preventative wars against nebulous threats based on suspect intelligence and without a clear endgame. Yet here we go again. wapo.st/4seF5K1

The pedophile in charge of the federal government is trying to use AI to build autonomous weapons systems and mass surveillance.
Have a nice night!
To all US military personnel -
Please be safe. If you are issued lawful orders, execute them and know the country does not hold you responsible for the policy choices of others. You have your oath and we all recognize it.
Come back home when it’s over.
THIS.

And maybe to him and his billionaire allies, the kinds of people who got most of his tax cuts, that's not a lot of money. But of course to most Americans, $1k is a lot of money. You can't be tricked about that."

"Heck, if you can’t be bothered to fake a board seat and you’re not interested in Trump-branded monopoly money, you can just pay $500,000 to join Don Jr.’s private membership club. It’s called Executive Branch.
Yes, for real."
EARHARDT: They want to say he's racist. He really just loves Americans.
AG PAM BONDI: He loves America. President Trump has made America safe again. That's why our economy is at a record high. We all know that. Our cabinet prayed before we went out there last night. That's because of Donald Trump.

President Trump’s remarks on Iran and the Islamic Republic during his State of the Union address were relatively limited and mirrored what he has said before.
But at one point, his remarks on the regime did lead Senator Elizabeth Warren to stand and clap.
yasharali • 3m The aircraft of Prime Minister Modi of India has left Indian airspace and is headed toward Israel, landing in a few hours. PM Modi will be in Israel through Friday. Obviously, there are no firm promises, but it is very difficult to imagine the United States conducting airstrikes on targets in Iranian territory over the next two days, given concerns that the Islamic Republic could retaliate while Modi is in Israel.

Update on the possibility of US strikes on targets within Iranian territory.
No firm promises but unlikely given that Modi is going to land in Israel soon.

Here's a bit on cosmopolitanism as a western inheritance. Heck the 1965 immigration law that Miller, Vance and Rubio hate itself carries forward certain western ideals
newrepublic.com/article/2041...
Adding to @jamellebouie.net:
1) If Rubio can claim he's a descendant of "the west," then why can't millions of others descendant from mix of European conquerors & central/south American indigenous peoples (ie migrants)?
2) Cosmopolitanism (the bane of Rubio's vision) is a western inheritance, too!
Trump's DoJ is engaged in multiple criminal criminal conspiracies at the direction of the president. We know it, the judges know it and the grand juries clearly know it. For how much longer will the courts still operate under the legal fiction that it is the same DoJ as before?

Excellent reporting from @glennthrush.bsky.social and team here on the tick tock leading up to the failed indictment of the six Dem lawmakers. Also confirms our report on prosecutors being unable to name a statute at a critical moment:
