Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

Do words even mean anything anymore? I’m so tired.

Oh, so we just send billions of dollars & weapons to Israel but they are just a rogue state that would put us in harm’s way if we didn’t help them bomb Iran. Do I have that right?

The imminent threat was that if Iran was attacked, they would attack us, so we needed to hit Iran before they got hit and could hit us? If we knew that was going to happen, why aren’t we stopping the people who were attacking Iran? And why can he not just say it was Israel? This is beyond absurd

they keep this doctor on call 24/7 so they can text him once a week like "hello, the president is fucking melting again, can you make some shit up"

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Seems like the Trump administration’s staggering idiocy just got six U.S. service members killed - who never got advance warning from their own leaders to take cover. www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/p...

"You can assume, because it's common sense" -- Mike Johnson claims Trump's war on Iran is actually defensive because if Israel attacked Iran, Iran was going to retaliate against the US

Sounds like Kash Patel is a co-conspirator covering up a murder.

I look forward to Benghazi hearings the sequel. What a total failure of leadership and principles.

This is one of administration's best arguments - and it's trash. Can't justify then joining the very war of aggression (under international law) that creates the blowback. As best justifies targeting ballistic missiles in defense. Not leadership decapitation, etc. Can't justify skipping Congress!

For those saying we can live without CNN, the one place where we'll feel their absence as a real media entity is foreign stuff.

The DNC has announced the frontrunner cities for its 2028 convention: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver and Philadelphia

This is big!

Melania Trump is presiding over the UN Security Council meeting today

The US delegation is late.

I guess you could define treatment for actinic keratoses with 5-FU as "preventative" 🤔

I'm having trouble thinking of a "very common cream" that is "a preventative skin treatment" that would *cause* that ⤵️

(Gift link) Admin is wise to drop what would've been a big loss on appeal. But given the limited scope of the trial ct rulings (only reaching the firms attacked), it keeps the possibility of more threats above other firms' heads. The threat remains acute, as does the damage of BigLaw's response. 🧵

🚨 Among other reasons, this is why YOU DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

He originally said was going to cost $200 million. Then he said $250 million. Then $300 million. But now it's going to come in under budget at $400 million.

A new photo from Trump's most recent public event reveals a large rash on his neck. This rash is an addition to the continued large bruises on his hands.

Markwayne Mullin just did a Fox News hit in which he repeatedly praised "President Hegseth" and then said the president can ask Congress to declare war "on Iraq"

Yikes

so many icks going on

Trump showed up with a new injury on his neck this morning, but his hand also still looks nasty (Saul Loeb/Getty)

god fucking dammit

And, per @justinbaragona.bsky.social "And this is not even a fully comprehensive list. I also know that he's called NBC News' Kristen Welker and MS Now reporters, among others." Every one of these credulous and gullible spokesmodels should be shunned from credible journalistic society.

By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS refuses to review a judge-made rule that bars indigent prisoners from splitting the filing fee among themselves when filing a federal suit—even though everyone else is allowed to split that fee. These defendants were allegedly tortured. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Watching Trump joke around in his usual narcissistic way, it's clear he has absolutely no appreciation for the graveness of what he's just unleashed on the world. And joking about giving himself the Medal of Honor when he's put thousands of US service members in harm's way is especially abhorrent.

I'm sure the Gold Star families who lost loved ones in this Iran attack will be comforted by this.

Can you imagine if a Democratic draft dodger "joked" about giving himself a Medal of Honor? Fox News would program nothing else for months.

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war. The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy. Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

One person is setting policy for the entire globe, deciding life and death for people in other countries, with virtually no constraints. Congress has a moral obligation to assert its authority.

America's being led into war by a rambling, disassembling old man with no plan who gets distracted by the golden drapes next to his podium.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

Imagine being president and just now figuring out that the Muslim world isn’t a monolith

If JOHN BOLTON thinks your plan to bomb another country is half-assed, man, you really done fucked it up

This is a rare example of Trump using a word that most Americans aren’t familiar with. “The yips” is when a golfer gets jumpy and can’t putt effectively. www.wsj.com/health/welln...

Trump is more than 40 minutes late and VA Secretary Doug Collins is staring at the ceiling

Trump is talking about the gold drapes at the White House after making remarks for a few minutes about the war he just started in Iran.

Ted Cruz, with access to those briefings, said literally the opposite yesterday.

They are all failed celebrities who think the job is being a celebrity, exemplified by kash patel who thinks his job is having government jets fly him and his girlfriend from one event to another bsky.app/profile/jkar...

This at a presser that was originally to honor Medal of Honor recipients

Trump spent far more time talking about curtains than he did fallen servicemembers

Trump: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom."

Yes.

no matter how stupid the dystopia gets sometimes you still get moments that take your breath away someone take the keys away from grandpa and just park him in front of the construction vehicles all day

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc
