A feeling. A fact. Two different things.

She said this was based on a feeling Trump had, based on facts. But feelings and facts aren’t the same thing so…

I called the number @cnn.com broadcast yesterday for Americans trying to flee the region. It’s a voice recording telling you not to count on the American government for help with evacuation!!

He’s our Baghdad Bob.

No we can’t assume that. No we don’t believe you when you say this is the most transparent adm ever. No to it all.

Just the three months of build-up.

Thanks a lot, Mike.

So, I called this number. And a voice recording tells you not to depend of the U.S. government to aid your evacuation.

I like the book but not these guys

Regarding the war on Iran, if the story of ‘why’ constantly changes, we are either being lied to or the real reason is being covered up.

I hope we survive this dope.

A peaceful picture from WA state, as a palette cleanser!

What does that mean?

Rubio says ‘someone’ was going to attack Iran and that would have caused Iran to attack the U.S. so we had to do regime change before all that happened. Also, the dog ate his homework.

The Week Ahead February 27, 2026

Lots of tails wagging lots of dogs this week. Trump clearly wants you to forget there are documents about him missing from the Epstein files. But I devote most of this piece to a quiet phenomenon: federal judges, declaring war on ICE open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

So happy for #Sinners winning the SAG award!What an incredible, transporting work of art it is.

Ditto. What a talent and what a man. That was an amazing acceptance speech.

70% - Trump isn't honest or trustworthy

56% - Trump is not mentally sharp enough

56% - Trump is not committed to our rights

62% - Trump's using the presidency to enrich himself

‘The way it is.’ He does not value anyone’s life except his own. It’s depraved.

Trump reads his statement like it’s a grocery list. Three American service members have been killed. He says there will likely be more. Says ‘it’s just the way it is.’ He does not value anyone’s life but his own.

The Paradox of Trump’s Iran Attack When his fantasies unravel, Trump has a habit of abusing power to force his will upon an uncooperative world.

Let Trump and Melania testify under oath.

Even if you want to believe there are reasons for these things—isn’t it striking how the mistakes are all in one direction? Not enough protections for survivors; too many protections for potential predators.

It’s one of the things I’ll think of when I remember that game, and I hate that

It was. Add it to Trump pocketing a FIFA medal, heisting a Nobel Peace Prize, etc, there’s a lot of stolen valor going on.

These guys do like other people’s awards.

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

A woman who has accused both Trump and Epstein of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor decades earlier gave four interviews to the FBI. Summaries of three of those interviews were not released with the Epstein files. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...
