Sen. Mark Kelly says it's 'unlikely' he backs war powers vote share.google/5bldQE8Q3uzy... Some people like Kelly for President. Pay attention.

A little marginalia. Dragonlet, Book of Hours, Paris c.1410.

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

NEW: Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani says Tehran “will not negotiate with the United States,” rejecting reports of renewed talks.

“Cut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,” he said. “This will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.” wdet.org/2026/02/27/c...

Is there a place past gallows humor? Because it feels like we’re entering the realm of phylactery humor, or The Endless Shrieking of the Void humor when we have to decide our emotional response to <waves hands at everything>

So if I’m understanding this correctly, Israel and the US only planned for 4 days of war. We are on day 2 and the regime still hasn’t collapsed, every ally has been bombed, and the IRGC is operating in an autonomous decentralized manner in a fight to the death doctrine.

@opus24.bsky.social This is so cool. I love it. 🌝

IRGC: The aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln has withdrawn from its position after being targeted with four cruise missiles.

Shia Muslims make up 95% of Iran. They make up almost 40% of the entire Middle East. Trump wasn’t the first POTUS gutsy enough to consider assassinating the Ayatollah. He was the first POTUS dumb enough to do it. Especially without a plan to handle the blowback.

US lawmakers heap pressure on Trump following the first US soldier deaths after Khamenei's killing.

Just came across this quote.

Thanks to all those who supported me in my first “official” book signing this afternoon, especially some of my MBA students who came to cheer me on. What terrific friends I have.

“To labor unions, everywhere.” - Noah Wylie, accepting his Actor award

The Department of Homeland Security has had to correct information provided to at least five states after its SAVE voter tool misidentified some voters as noncitizens, according to correspondence between state and federal officials. With @texastribune.org

Harrison Ford is going to get an Emmy for this speech. Damn.

The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement. And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent. www.axios.com/2026/03/02/i...

See a pattern here?

@marcelias.bsky.social: "Iran, Venezuela, China, Italy, Cuba and Germany are not the reason Trump lost in 2020 — he is. These countries do not justify an authoritarian takeover in 2026. No foreign threat or domestic circumstance grants him that power."

Anyone still confused? MAGA, do you see that he is AGAIN committing acts of war? Without congressional approval, which makes them illegal? What part of this makes him a "peace president"? Call your members of Congress. They can stop him NOW. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Not.normal!

The billionaires’ kids will pay no price. But American kids have already died for a war of vanity and choice. A war that will result in hardline leadership remaining in Iran and no meaningful impact on their nuclear program. A likely moral and strategic disaster.

Right now I am leaning towards the concept that our own President is more of a danger to this country than any other country is.

I genuinely cannot get over him launching a war from his house in Palm Beach.

The Israeli army has begun a wave of airstrikes on Lebanon in response to Hezbollah firing rockets towards Israel.

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.

Midterm militia, as planned.

This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about “eagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/w...

Thomas Fugate, 22, was appointed head of DHS’s Center for Prevention, drawing criticism for his age and lack of experience. The Trump administration later downplayed the role as “marginal” or “insignificant” even though it oversees an $18 million program. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Didn't want to withhold this one from you all. Tehran, good night.

For those of you smart enough to stay the fuck away from the Nazi Bar, be grateful you're missing Glenn Greenwald's very harsh cognitive collapse as he discovers, shock, that Donald Trump was lying to him about war.

Bloody do it!

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

Iran refused cease fire. Imagine that. They won't make a deal with Netanyahu who is wanted for war crimes and genocide in Gaza, or with Donny Dumpster who also kills his own people with his private army and left Ukraine in the dust. Jeez. I can't imagine why they won't trust felons and pedos.
