a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: โ€œSadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.โ€œ

Attack on Iran may have motivated man who killed 2 in Austin, officials say A man who fatally shot two people and wounded 14 others at a bar in Austin, Texas early Sunday morning may have been motivated by the U.S. attack on Iran.

Authorities said a man who fatally shot two people and wounded 14 others at a bar in Austin early Sunday may have been motivated by the U.S. military campaign in Iran.

The gunman was identified as a 53-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who came to the country from Senegal in 2006.

Trump said โ€œI donโ€™t knowโ€ when asked if he would halt strikes on Iran during negotiations, adding he would consider it โ€œif they can satisfy us,โ€ but โ€œthey havenโ€™t been able to.โ€

โ€œThey werenโ€™t willing to say they will not have a nuclear weapon.โ€

MAGA influencers are sharing graphic footage of the mass shooting in Austin, Texas, last night.

The FBI has suggested a โ€œpotential nexus to terrorism,โ€ but influencers are already blaming Muslims.

(Iโ€™m not showing the video. Itโ€™s traumatic. Instead, Iโ€™ve posted captions and pinned comments.)

Trump Stays Out of Public View After U.S. Launches Military Assault on Iran

Trump celebrates the opening of the Iran War with a formal dinner and dancing at Mar-a-Lago. Major US media decide somehow this really isn't reportable news.

Footage from near the Strait of Hormuz shows a Palau-flagged oil tanker ablaze after what Omanโ€™s maritime security centre said was a hit from an unidentified projectile.

At least three ships have been struck in the area. More than 150 others have dropped anchor to avoid entering the strait.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of MAGA folks are going to love this line of reasoning.

โ€œWhat happens overseas is not our problem. We neutralize threats to the homeland and move on.โ€

Really obscene to display Kirk, who attacked the Civil Rights Act, with Washington, who quietly poured considerable resources into legal challenges to Jim Crow (which would have put his career and life in jeopardy in contemporary Alabama had it come to light).

More evidence that this is highly motivated by US and Israeli grudges, and that the goal is to wipe out any regime figures capable of taking power and holding the state together.

TAMPA, Fla. โ€“ As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions โ€” and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.

The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

I hope you arenโ€™t drunk and took your staffโ€™s advice, Rashida and I donโ€™t know this man and feel confident he didnโ€™t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

Itโ€™s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. Iโ€™m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

at this point, I think itโ€™s fair to say that many respectable scholars, including on the right, think OLC has gone out pretty far over its skis. The OLC memos are also purely internal to the executive; theyโ€™ve never been tested in court or stacked up against a real challenge by Congress

Because the U.S. Constitution is no longer a simple piece of parchment meant to be amended by each passing generation; itโ€™s a religious text divined by demigods.

Also, securing two-thirds of a vote on *anything* is hard enough right now.

Thatโ€™s where I was going, I just wasnโ€™t sure where @eliasisquith.blog was leading. Like if the rule of law is no longer working as intended, maybe itโ€™s time for an overhaul?

Personally, Iโ€™d like to see everything he suggested plus a complete kneecapping of the imperial presidency.
