Wars grab attention. Blackmail networks shape reality. One is on the news. The other is behind the news: Epstein and his connection to Trump is still the biggest story of the weekend.

Operation Epstein Fury www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The Axis of resistance is no more, Chomsky was Epstein’s bestie, Israel and Russia are on the same team, and the multipolar order you were promised was just Oligarchy under a different name. Tough break comrades, not very praxis.

Trump knew he had lost the 2020 presidential election stating, “I don’t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing,” Hutchinson testified that Trump told her boss at the time, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. “Figure it out.” www.huffpost.com/entry/cassid...

Seems relevant

What does it mean if the administration's strike on Iran wasn't lawful? It's not an abstract debate. First principles, like the rule of law, determine whether we live in a country governed by laws or by impulse. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“Melania Trump and Antoine Verglas were fixtures of the 1990s fashion circuit—a rarefied ecosystem that Jeffrey Epstein would continue to penetrate long after his conviction.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

Coupla real geniuses there at NBC.

Trump. Trump is the aggressor. This is illegal and not approved by Congress.

NBC: “Are you committing your missiles won’t have the capability to reach 🇺🇸?” Iranian FM: “Yes.” NBC: “Then why are you bombing our bases?” Iranian FM: “Because they’re attacking us.”

If she thinks FoxN (or CNN for that matter) is gonna show flag-draped coffins to its viewers, she hasn’t been paying attention.

Amazing work, everyone the OpenAI boycott is working! And thank you to our international supporters who are joining us. Sam Altman is in panic mode he went on X tonight telling users to ask him anything about OpenAI’s Pentagon deal as the boycott of ChatGPT grows.

Seems that both Israel AND Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale are fans of Reza Pahlavi, the exiled Crown Prince of Iran… 1/

"This is a war of choice. The United States had other policy options available. Diplomacy appeared to have promise to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Increased economic pressure had the potential, over time, to precipitate regime change." richardhaass.substack.com/p/special-ed...

Who impeaches members of Congress for allowing President Trumpstein to continue to ignore the Constitution?

President Donald Trump's accusation that Iran is building nuclear weapons that could "soon" reach the U.S. is contradicted by a 2025 federal government assessment that said Iran is years away from the ability to produce long-range missiles. (via @politifact.bsky.social) https://to.pbs.org/4slHtik

KRISTOF: “When you’ve witnessed the horror of war, you believe it should be a last resort — not an abyss we tumble into without legal basis or clear objectives, pushing us all unnecessarily into a riskier world in which the only certainty is bloodshed.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/o...

In a letter to attorney general, Pam Bondi, Garcia demanded “a full accounting” of why the files had been withheld, writing that the DoJ had “illegally withheld FBI interviews with a survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes”. See article for more details about these missing FBI docs.

Three memos that describe 4 interviews conducted by Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2019 contain explicit but unsubstantiated claims Donald Trump sexually abused a woman when she was a minor in early 1980s with the assistance of Jeffrey Epstein, according to a Guardian review of those documents.

Donald Trump put a Fox News commentator in charge of the Pentagon. His Vice President was talking about war plans in a Signal chat.  He says he knows better than the generals.  This is who is putting our men and women in uniform in harm’s way.

I'm going to once again point out that if the money that has gone into this data center build out would have instead been used to deploy clean, renewable energy we would be in a lot better situation and those people could have still have made a profit.

"Trump doesn’t care about election interference. So why would he invoke Iran meddling in our election as he bombs the country? Put simply, he is trying to validate the claim that our elections are not secure as a pretext to usurp control of our elections in the name of national security.”

President EPSTEIN FILES just put us into war with EPSTEIN FILES by bombing EPSTEIN FILES in a joint military action with EPSTEIN FILES to control the EPSTEIN FILES in the EPSTEIN FILES region. There is speculation on why exactly he would EPSTEIN FILES this. - Lance Nuttman

Palantir targeting data FTW. /s

#BeAware The SCOTUS intends to help Donald cheat. @legalafmtn.bsky.social

When you call your U.S. Senators and House Rep Ask them if allowing Schumer & Jeffries & other AIPAC-Dems to run the show It's gonna be worth it in the end When Trump uses this war (or the next) as an excuse to "cancel elections" or claim "Country X interfered, the GOP actually won everything" ⤵️

So. Just politics?

We can no longer trust Mainstream media. Fascist owned and operated.

When will there be accountability ❔

War isn’t a side project. If you’re putting troops and civilians at risk, you should be visibly, institutionally, and fully engaged where constitutional authority and oversight actually live. That would be the White House, and not Mar-A-Lago.👇

Trump “totally destroyed” Iran’s nukes last June just like he’s been totally exonerated in the Epstein files.

youtube.com/watch?v=QiNs... 'Follow the money': Maddow’s INSTANT REACTION to U.S. striking Iran Why do you think Trump started a War with Iran?

OK it's GREAT the criminals are turning on each other but let's get one thing 100% clear. Kennedy is a traitorous piece of shit who is JUST AS CORRUPT AS PEDO-SHITLER. He's just a rat leaving the ship b/c he knows he needs to "get on the other side" to hide his own garbage (just like MTG did).

About that order by Judge Aileen Cannon purporting to forbid the U.S. Department of Justice from releasing the Jack Smith final report: "federal courts do not have the sweeping 'supervisory authority' over the Justice Department that Judge Cannon claims." [Andrew McCarthy, National Review]

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran. Unreal.

Seems to be the pattern…

"Trump was reportedly warned by his top military advisers that Iran could respond to strikes with terror attacks with proxies on US soil." He "grew frustrated during the planning process to strike Tehran when his generals could not assure him that the risk of US casualties would remain low. "
