"The president has frequently railed against judges when they rule against him. What often happens next is a barrage of violent threats from his followers against those judges.

MAGA is trying to claim the sky for itself - which means that other legitimate drone users, including journalists reporting on ICE abuses, are being shut out. My latest for Foreign Policy: foreignpolicy.com/2026/02/12/u...

“Come gather the crocus-cups with me, And dream of the summer coming; Saffron, and purple, and snowy white, All awake to the first bees humming.” - Sebastian Evans (1830-1909)

The new head of the IRGC, Ahmad Vahidi, has had an outstanding interpol arrest warrant for nearly 20 years for his role as the mastermind of the bombing of the 1996 Jewish community center, which remains the deadliest terrorist attack in Latin American history.

First US fatalities in Trump's illegal war on Iran.

"The accounts were all freshly created in February and had only ever placed bets on when US strikes might occur. Some of their shares were purchased, in some cases at roughly a dime apiece, hours before the first explosions were reported in Tehran."

OLC has long said a POTUS can deploy military force unilaterally if there’s a strong U.S. national security interest and the engagement falls short of constitutional “war.” Even if you buy #1, how does unprovoked offensive bombing for regime change pass test #2??
