So Marco Rubio says we attacked Iran because Israel was going to do so and we needed to act preemptively. What was that Donald said -- "America first?" Netanyahu is leading Trump like a farmer with a nose ring in his biggest pig.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

Trump voters- I hope you know that if your child is (god forbid) killed in this inane & insane war with Iran, or a family member becomes collateral damage in 1 of the other 8 nations being bombed, that Trump will not call them heroes, but rather suckers & losers for dying. #ProudBlue #Pinks #OneV1

Be sure to register to vote if you haven’t. NPR has the information you need. If you are registered, check to make sure you’re still active & not purged. Check periodically. Your state’s Secretary of State (SoS) may have a portal for this.

TWEET OF THE DAY 🏆

Of note: No senior Trump administration officials or cabinet members appeared on the Sunday shows today. The major TV networks all requested guests. Such requests are standard practice but are considered especially important right now. Full story here >>> www.cnn.com/2026/03/01/m...

We’re at war, and Trump still hasn’t given a coherent explanation for why the US, alongside Israel, attacked Iran or what the endgame is. Finding out he was making party cameos at Mar-a-Lago while this was unfolding is nuts. Bush lied, but at least he made a case to Congress before war with Iraq.

Gratitude to the artists at @thirdactdc.bsky.social for continuing the fight against crass authoritarianism. Bravo!

Exactly. This. No imminent threat!!

this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's cliché to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.

We are all noticing and feeling the effects of corruption. A worthy read. Citizens United ruling and the firing of oversight in military and by federal agencies are fueling the depth of allowed corruption. #proudblue #pinks

Congrats to everyone cheering for the illegal bombing in the interest of a Free Iran

And immigration isn’t an invasion. Thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the New York Times.

Absolutely incredible. Weeks of war without any vote in Congress. And the current regime may largely be left in place. This isn't just a war of choice. It's a vanity war. If this is allowed to stand, our country is in real trouble.

"Aside from the internment camps used to incarcerate Japanese Americans in the 1940s, such facilities have no precedent in American history..." US Conference of Catholic Bishops statement on Trump's new mass prison camps. Full statement at the link: www.usccb.org/news/2026/th...

"Most [judges] would not appear on camera, fearful for their safety. Judge Coughenour [Reagan appt'ee] is one of few who would. He blocked Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship. Coughenour: My wife & I are at home. And the doorbell rings...& there's, I think, 5 sheriffs there w/long rifles..."

It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.

To give you a sense of how Georgia Democrats are doing, North Carolina Democrats are running candidates in all 170 legislative districts and all 14 congressional districts this fall

Did they? There was two different countries dropping bombs and firing missiles into Iran. Plus, there's the IRGC which just killed about 10,000 of their own citizens, and wouldn't think twice about blowing up their own school just to say America did it. At this point, I'm not sure anyone knows.

See a pattern here?

Facts!!! There are 12 steps to authoritarism and we’re currently on step 9. This man gotta go now!! #25thamendmentNOW #sheshed

I hope everyone reads this NYT interview with Trump and realizes that he is... A) f***ing clueless B) f***ing delusional and that... C) American troops are going to needlessly die because he is f***ing clueless and delusional. GIFT ARTICLE to read/share. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/u...

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.

Seems like a thing more people should be mad about

Trump was raised in a family that disparaged military service. He thinks people “dumb” enough to serve have what’s coming to them. Remember what he told the widow of the soldier who was killed in Niger: “he knew what he signed up for” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017....

Optics. @thedailybeast.bsky.social www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hosts-...

Wut

For the U.S., the deaths of three service members in the first two days of the war signaled that Iran was more prepared than the Trump administration anticipated, U.S. military officials said. nyti.ms/4r8OJwJ

Oh god. Is *this* why GOP is OK with murdering school children & U.S. troops? To get Dems to fund DHS? Note to Dave: Trump has gutted the entire natsec apparatus, the FBI, DNI, and no one will share Intel with us. Funding DHS does NOTHING but feed the mass deportation-for-profit machine.

The surgery was a success, ma’am, and also, your husband died.

Craziest thing about this is that Trump thought this would make him sound “successful”

About every 57k miles driven by Musk’s robotaxis one gets into a wreck. That’s four times the rate of humans.

This comes on the heels of a report that Musk built a vehicle more explosive than the Ford Pinto, which was considered a death trap.

Wouldn't want a little war to get in the way of a golf weekend.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 28 FEBRUARY 2026 TRUMP'S IRAN WAR Trump promised you PEACE No New WARS...He lied Over 100 children died in Tehran school Israeli woman killed in Tel Aviv How long now & AMERICAN SOLDIERS at risk How many will die? Trump caused this Listen to Dr Timothy Snyder

CIA assessment ahead of latest Trump war said killing Iran leader would likely lead to another hardliner taking his place, casting doubt on regime change expectations. Via Reuters

Russell Vought is the central architect driving the destruction of your government. We are urging Congress to act now to protect the American people by impeaching and convicting Vought. We invite all Americans to join us by signing on to our letter to Congress. actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:

It goes without saying that for the foreseeable future you should not go near any US government buildings, outposts, military bases, or any Trump related establishments or buildings. As a precaution until things blow over.

This 28 second clip alone could help to bring down the US President. Trump clearly says this "war" is "not for now", showing there is no immediate risk by Iran. That means, as per the War Powers Act 1973, he has broken the law by not gaining Congress's approval for this action.

I’m sorry to past and future partners, but I will always love Dolly more.

If this is true-and reports suggest it is-it’s terrifying Because the IRCG promised to wreak havoc on America And if they replace Ayatollah Khamenei quickly, that potentially means a lightning fast response Meanwhile Congress hasn’t yet been called into session to debate what to do about Iran

This is enraging. These cretins are determined to see children and the vulnerable die from preventable illnesses.

There’s room for nuance in sorting thru what SCOTUS is up to, but Steve’s critiques of this piece are right on — the author plays fast and loose with data and centers the bizarre claim that the court is all about empowering Congress
