A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*. Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be. Our full recap:

With his attack on Iran, Trump signals a shift away from the era of economic statecraft

Congressional briefings undercut White House claim about Iran threat Pentagon briefers acknowledged to congressional staff that Iran was not planning to strike US forces unless Israel attacked Iran first, undercutting the administration’s claim of an imminent threat as a reason to launch strikes.

The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire. That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Brilliant

Some 27% of respondents said they approved of the strikes, while 43% disapproved. 56% of Americans think Trump, who also ordered strikes in Venezuela, Syria and Nigeria in recent months, is too willing to use military force to advance US interests reut.rs/4aSiAoF

Only one in four Americans approves of the US strikes that killed Iran's leader, while about half — including one in four Republicans — believe President Trump is too willing to use military force, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Sunday reut.rs/4aSiAoF

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed in Israeli and US strikes, Iranian state media confirmed. Follow our live coverage here: reut.rs/3OSg20V

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

“There is no national consensus around the decision... There isn’t even a Republican consensus…only a mercurial man so detached from reality that he actually reposted “Iran Tried to Interfere in 2020, 2024 Elections to Stop Trump, and Now Faces Renewed War With U.S.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/o...

James Comer and other Republicans on Epstein Oversight Committee are deliberately steering the investigation away from Trump. They are now using words like Trump is fully exonerated. Republicans on this committee are not sincere and they are part of the DOJ cover up for Trump.

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy. So let me say a few things. 🧵1/

You see. America does this because it won’t see any retaliation in its own backyard. The only people that will suffer are those in the Arab world (not Middle East). Iran launches retaliatory strikes at targets across Middle East www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump is drawing our country into yet another foreign war that Americans don’t want and Congress has not authorized. The Iranian regime is a brutal and murderous dictatorship. But that does not give Trump the authority to unilaterally initiate a war of choice.

On top of everything else that is wrong with this, how is it that there's a 911 call at 5:30pm but no one responds until the 2nd 911 call that came THREE HOURS LATER at 830p?
