While Trump is unleashing a war in the Middle East, do not lose sight of the cruelty being inflicted at home by this regime. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/03/at-largest-ice-detention-camp-staff-bet-on-detainee-suicides-ap-reports/

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

The prominent Republican position is that other people should risk everything to bail Trump out of the problem that Trump himself created (and for which the whole world pays the price).

Nor will the company let them. By not moving, their cargo has doubled in value over the last week. As has the value of the cargo of every other ship they have on the water. Until those ships offload, they have no incentive to take that risk.

I know several ship captains with Master Unlimited licenses who have piloted the largest vessels on the oceans and they are—to the man—the most risk-adverse people on Earth. They are responsible for dozens of lives and hundreds of millions in assets. 0% chance any sail through Hormuz for a while.

"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals." Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.

Trump *is* doing debt cancellation. It's just not your student or medical debts. In his second term alone, Trump has already canceled $1.5 billion of criminal debt — payments fraudsters owe the federal government and victims. They don't mind debt cancellation—for themselves.

America’s military belongs to the American people — not Donald Trump. In a war with Iran, the country deserves more than memes and shifting talking points. We deserve a clear mission. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

While Americans spent the weekend watching gas prices rise because of his illegal war with Iran, Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing. America’s sons and daughters are being put in harms way because of his rogue and reckless actions, and this is how he is spending his time.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Republicans call on Hegseth to stop stalling on the “investigation” of the bombing of the girls school in Iran.

Never before in American history has a president gone to war without first explaining to the American people why it was important to do so

Nope, this is Trump's doing, he decided without consulting anyone. Hegseth announced they wouldn't be following any left, woke liberal rules. No one wanted this war. No one supports the mass slaughtering of children or a lawless military. If Trump wants Armageddon, he's on his own.

They didn't even give these countries the heads up on what was about to happen. They left people abandoned all over the region, leaving the UAE to help them get home, and we ask them to join the war ? Obviously its not going as well as they want us to believe.

Nearly there…

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

Deputy UN Ambassador Tammy Bruce on reports Russia is helping Iran target US troops: "If anyone is helping Iran, they're not doing a very good job of it, because they're decimated. Now it's a matter of the way forward. And Donald Trump will decide what that way is."

Tammy Bruce: "Clearly the president's actions indicate that he would rather have diplomacy"

Tammy Bruce on whether the UN was looped in on Trump waging war on Iran: "He doesn't ambush you, so of course this isn't a surprise"

Trump and Hegseth call it war every single day. What even is this charade???

Sen. Rick Scott: "Iran is evil. China is evil. North Korea is evil. Communist China is evil. So we're got at least four now. Maybe we'll be down to less now with Venezuela changing and with what Trump is doing in Cuba. Hopefully we'll have more people cooperating."

Sen. Rick Scott: "What would the cost be if they had a nuclear weapon and used it against America? What would the cost be if they had long-range ballistic weapons and used them against America? So this is a good long-term investment for peace and prosperity, stability, in the US and worldwide."

it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party

The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.

When are we going to get the results of the Pentagon investigating itself on whether they bombed a girls school while using AI?

Trump has crashed the market, spiked oil & gas and we’re approaching 10 dead troops and it increasingly seems the Iranian regime is going to survive.

Because it's America first, Trump says he'll only make war decisions he and Netanyahu can agree on. www.timesofisrael.com/trump-to-tim...

Tapper: "Do you think Stephen Miller should go?" Sen. Tillis: "Of course I do...He's a big problem in this administration. He has been from the beginning."

Sen. Warner: "This was a war of choice. There was no imminent threat to the United States. There was not even an imminent threat to Israel."

Sen. Murphy: "The American people don't want this war…If you support the troops, then you should be voting against funding this war so that we get our troops out of harm's way."

President Trump said  “if they rise, they rise” about gas prices he sent soaring, while families pay the price. He bragged about cheap gas at the State of the Union. First, it was his tariffs. Now, it is his war that nobody wanted. Americans continue footing the bill for Trump’s bad decisions.

Leavitt: "With respect to what's to happening with gas prices right now, this is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain of taking out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime."

I am heartbroken by the loss of Officer Sorffly Davius, a devoted NYPD officer, National Guard Officer, loving husband, and father. My heart goes out to his family as they carry this loss. Our prayers go out to all service members serving at home & abroad. www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/07/n...

Q: "More than 170 people including many children were killed in a strike on a school in Iran…The military's preliminary finding it's increasingly likely that a U.S. munition was responsible. Was the Iran or the U.S. responsible?" Waltz: "Let's let the investigation play out."

Fox News Sunday aired old footage of a dignified transfer in December instead of video from yesterday’s dignified transfer, where Trump was wearing a hat.

Q: "Is the U.S. at war with Iran?" Mike Waltz: *doesn't answer*

Bartiromo: "A billion dollars a day. Oil prices up 27% in a week. You've got the president wanting a $1.5 trillion defense budget in '27. The Pentagon is about to come to you for $50 billion on these strikes to Iran. How are you going to answer?" Graham: "Best money ever spent."

huh, makes the whole 25 year period when the Shah was our top ally kind of awkward

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

sounds like he means Iranians generally?

Oh look the Senator that broke a the arm of Veteran protesting the war a few days ago is also a green energy hypocrite www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Today we honor the immeasurable contributions of women in Georgia and around the world. May we renew our commitment to keep fighting for equality and justice for all. Happy International Women’s Day!

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses. Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high. Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025. “Golden Age” for whom?

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos. This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.
