80% of Americans against war with Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u... Where is Congress?

Yep. The kids of the Epstein class never serve, never fight, and never die fo this country. They just take.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Wars can’t be won from the air alone. This smells so much like lies about WMD ala 2003. Where is Congress?

It’s rich watching rich men protected by guns tell unarmed and untrained civilians without guns to overthrow one of recent history’s most repressive regimes - who still have lots of guns.

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling. No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

Trump 2.0: -Bombed Iran (twice), Venezuela, and Yemen -Allowed Israel to repeatedly violate a ceasefire and kill civilians -Ripped healthcare and SNAP away from millions -Deployed masked ICE agents to terrorize American cities The "Peace President."

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

Pretty wild when ya send a military to attack a country all to try to keep people from learning you’re a pedo.

Watching Senator Lindsey Graham on Meet the Press this morning that the Trump administration has no idea what to do when the shooting stops.

Trump getting U.S. service members killed in a war the vast majority of Americans oppose is frankly all we should be talking about right now. At a minimum, it should be treated with the same level of shock, outrage and discourse that the right fomented after Benghazi and the Afghanistan withdrawal.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

JD Vance said there is “no chance” the US would be drawn into a lengthy war. But isn’t that what Bush thought before Iraq & LBJ before Vietnam? Wars are risky & unpredictable.The US should engage in them only if it absolutely has to. There is no reason to think this war is necessary. wapo.st/4seF5K1

BREAKING: The Pentagon says three U.S. service members have been killed and five seriously wounded in hostilities with Iran

Trump could argue - and I am not saying I agree - that his Art II powers allow him to act for 60 days against imminent threats to the USA and its allies, as well as under general UN self-defense Art 51 provisions. It's bullshit, but presidents get wiiiiiiiide latitude on this

Three US troops have been killed and five others "seriously wounded" since start of US-Israel strikes on Iran, US military says. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4cmkPlg

Uh. Gas up your car Now

Another member of the billionaire Epstein class starts a war that working families pay for.

CENTCOM says three US servicemembers killed.

As you wake up and start your day, know that people just like you are dying and being horribly wounded in the Middle East by munitions paid for with your tax dollars, and Congress has not authorized this war.

Let me translate this: “A shit ton of your loved ones maybe sacrificed to keep the nation’s attention off the Epstein files. That is a sacrifice I’m totally willing to make.”

The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.

🚩This Is Not How Democracies Go to War. It’s How Dictators Do. Donald Trump has said almost nothing to justify going to war against Iran. The real reason may be something he dare not speak of. newrepublic.com/article/2071...

It’s wild watching a guy who never served in combat telling a bunch of Iranian civilians to rise up (without weapons or training) and take over a country with the most advanced military in the region and one of the best regional intelligence agencies and repressive police forces. Just wild.

Pope Leo: "I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran in these dramatic hours. Stability and peace are not built with mutual threats or with weapons, which sow destruction, pain, and death, but only with reasonable, authentic, and responsible dialogue.”

Get ready for oil an gas prices to spike - driving inflation further up. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle...

Congress must exercise its constitutional responsibility to reign in this unilateral executive action. Decisions that send Americans into harm’s way should be made with full public debate and authorization by the people’s representatives in Congress--per the Constitution. 2/2

Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files

Well, Trump certainly took the media spotlight off of Minneapolis and ICE raids with his unconstitutional attack on Iran.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

Several eyewitness reports are coming in that the Palms was struck in Dubai.

Statement from Major General (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton, an Army commander during Operation Iraqi Freedom:

In South Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, regime change was the easy part. Nobody doubts the ability of the US to effectuate regime change through military force in most countries. The hard part is what comes after. We didn’t have a great plan for that in other places. Do we now?

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

This is an impeachable act.

Sam Altman, like many tech oligarchs, has proven that he cares only about making more billions and exerting control over humanity without regard for human rights and civil liberties. They are soulless people who will destroy us if we let them.

🧵 As Trump starts yet another war in the Middle East with Operation Epic Fury and calls for a "takeover" of the Iranian government, the parallels with the end of the 1991 Gulf War are striking and cautionary - a "betrayal" that still haunts U.S. foreign policy today.

Trump just launched what might turn out to be another long, bloody and expensive Forever War.

As you wake up and drink your coffee, know that people just like you are being killed and horribly wounded by bombs paid for with your tax dollars. And your elected officials in Congress didn’t vote to authorize this.

The power to declare war is found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution. "[The Congress shall have Power...] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;"

Iran has 0 nuclear weapons, intelligence experts say.

The citizens of three Nations led by leaders who get their advice from the three versions of the Goat Herders Guide To The Universe are currently at war to prove which of them is the Religion of Peace…and to help two of the leaders distract Americans from the Epstein Files.

What to expect in the hours and days ahead now that Trump launched the USA into a war with Iran. substack.com/@joeplenzler...
