I’ll be MIA for several hours, because we’re celebrating my Daddy’s birthday this evening. Good luck, world. PEACE.

Iran's ayatollah is dead, according to Trump.

Breaking News: Iranian missiles are hitting targets in Israel, Qatar, and the UAE in Dubai. Iran sees Arab states with U.S. bases on their soil as fair game now. Dubai International Airport has shutdown. It is the single largest connecting hub between Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

Anthropic has publicly stated that it will not support the use of its AI for domestic surveillance or for lethal actions without human oversight. The contrast is hard to ignore. Many people are deleting the ChatGPT app. For those looking for an alternative, downloading Claude by Anthropic.

Sidebar: I’m really disappointed with UberEats. The driver said they “delivered my order,” but they didn’t. I’m in the middle of getting a full refund, but it’s just a waste of my time. I don’t need the extra aggravation today. Why are people like this? And I always give HUGE tips. Do better.

Breaking News: “Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli airstrike this morning on Iran, with his body being found recently among the rubble,” as Israeli officials tell The Times of Israel. We’re waiting for further confirmation. The U.S. gov has not confirmed this yet.

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

Breaking News: An Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab has risen to 57 DEAD and 60 injured. Why is Israel obsessed with killing innocent children? Another war crime can be added to their list of atrocities. This is what they do and the world is utterly disgusting by it.

Loves, I’m heading to sleep for a bit now. I would caution you to fill up your gas tanks, and buy groceries at your earliest opportunity. I’ll continue with updates later today.

Breaking News: Iran says all U.S. bases in the Middle East are now targets. Drone attacks have begun against Israel. Also: Explosions are being heard in Kuwait. Iraq has closed its airspace.

Pete Hegseth should have to take a breathalyzer right now. If we lose a lot of American troops, Israel should take the blame. They initiated this strike on Iran. Trump has entered this war without Congressional authorization, as well. What happened to “total obliteration” of their weapons sites?

Breaking News: Israel has preemptively attacked Iran with the assistance of the United States. There has been an assassination attempt on Ayatollah Khamenei and President Pezeshkian. Senior military and intelligence leadership are targets, too. And so it all begins…

Anyone walking around constantly shouting that they’re “FULLY EXONERATED” has clearly done something really, really bad.

Did you know that you don’t have to consume, purchase, or watch content from Paramount Skydance, or any of their subsidiaries? I’m choosing to support Netflix and other streaming services that aren’t beholden to this administration. You have free will—use it.

Breaking News: Anthropic has rejected the Pentagon’s “final offer” ahead of the Friday deadline. They’re committed to their AI platform NOT being used for surveillance of Americans or lethal military missions. Did you hear that? It’s Pete Hegseth opening a case of beer. Oh well…🤷🏻‍♀️

Kash Patel celebrated the US hockey team's victory the right way. by Ezra Klein

Can we start calling him Trash Patel?

While Americans are dealing with cartel roadblocks and potential danger in Puerto Vallarta, the FBI Director is apparently living his best life locker-side in Europe. Priorities, right? What a disgrace. Resign, NOW.

I tried to make BAGELS for the first time. Scones, anyone? It’s going to take a few more tries…

This Nancy Guthrie case is starting to feel like Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. I don’t think she’ll ever be found. We may never know what happened on February 1st, unfortunately. The entire investigation has been compromised by the the local sheriff’s department and even the FBI. Gross misconduct!

Americans will soon be paying even more: Trump increased the rate of a new global tariff to 15% — vowing to work around the ruling that invalidated his emergency tariffs.

Good News: Israel has not won any medals in the Winter Olympic Games. Shout-out to commentator, Stefan Renna, from Swiss public broadcaster Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS). He questioned why someone on the Israeli team would be allowed to compete when they also participated in the genocide in Gaza.

Trump: "'President, I'd love to kiss you'—this is a very powerful man. I don't want to be kissed by that man. But a very powerful, strong man. He said, 'Sir, I want to kiss you so badly.' And I said, 'no, thank you.'" I'm going to die laughing! This “Sir Story” might be the best one yet.

Les Wexner's attorney during the House Oversight Committee deposition on Epstein: "I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words." When I watched the video, it felt like an elderly man was being intimidated by his own counsel. He needs to be investigated, too.

The United Kingdom is blocking the United States from using its bases to attack Iran. When an administration repeatedly undermines and disrespects longstanding allies—while showing deference to authoritarian leaders—there is inevitably a price to pay in lost cooperation and strained partnerships.

Prince Andrew to seek asylum in the United States and join Donald Trump’s cabinet to avoid further persecution.

Breaking News: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince and King Charles’ brother, was arrested this morning—his 66th birthday—on suspicion of misconduct in public office. If a prince can be arrested, a president can, too.

Do you realize that much of the world is rooting for Iran instead of Israel? I wonder why? It must be that whole genocide, subjugation, and intolerable crimes against innocent civilians that the world is sick of. I will NEVER support Israel in any form.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Peace to all who are celebrating the Lunar New Year and the sacred beginnings of Lent and Ramadan. Wishing you renewal, strength, and profound peace during this special time.

Liberals say that concentration camps filled with children have no place in a democracy. They're wrong—concentration camps filled with children have no place in a republic.

Rev. Jesse Jackson taught us that hope is the fuel of progress, that hands that once picked cotton could one day pick presidents, and that love and justice must march together. He was a towering figure of moral courage and boundless hope. RIP, Reverend. Your work is done, but ours continues.

I will HATE everyone who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 until my last breath. Alito is now thinking about retiring before Trump’s second term ends, which will allow him to nominate a FOURTH SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. Schumer is useless and must resign. We need unyielding Democrats at the helm.

Girl Scout Pim Neill, 6, sold over 100,000 boxes of cookies across the country. I know a dealer when I see one. I’m pretty sure a few cartels might want to recruit her, too. She’s about to take over the world. Well done!

One of my all-time favorite novels is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Robert Duvall’s portrayal of Boo Radley was phenomenal. I’ve enjoyed many of his performances. “Will you take me home?” RIP

Elon Musk is the world's richest man. But his belief in white supremacy and white replacement theory is shared by some of the poorest Americans. Could he be the class unifying populist that the nation so sorely needs?

“The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.” Philip James Bailey Happy Valentine’s Day 💗

He’s now at 1.5 million mentions in the Epstein files. I don’t even have to say who it is, you already know.

The sole Democrat who voted yea (to advance the funding bill) was: John Fetterman. This is not an anomaly, but a calculated pattern. Betrayal defines him—he doesn't merely dissent; he sabotages at the exact moment unity is required. His funding phase will be a lot of fun for me.

WASHINGTON (AP) — EPA revokes scientific finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health, removing key basis for climate change fight.

Don’t even go to work. Tell your boss the Dow is over 50,000 right now. (I’m kiddin’, but I’ll be using this line for EVERYTHING.)

Pam Bondi testified to Congress the right way. by Ezra Klein

Representative Balint: “This is not a game, Secretary.” Bondi: “I'm Attorney General.” Representative Balint: “Apologies, I couldn't tell.” I’m SCREAMING!!!

I can still remember the days when Trump was only in the Epstein files 38,000 times instead of over 1,000,000. Oh wait that was yesterday.

I’m so glad that the TPUSA Klanchella was an epic fail. We knew it would be, of course. None of us speak meth.

All the racists can get FUCKED. That was a great halftime show. #SuperBowl

Whether it’s Billie Eilish saying we live on stolen land, or Donald Trump planning to steal land in Venezuela and Greenland, both sides have a stolen land problem.

A lesbian just delivered “America the Beautiful,” and a Latino man is headlining the halftime show. MAGA is absolutely melting down in real time over inclusivity. Their rage is chef’s kiss levels of delicious. It brings me the sweetest solace. Let’s go, Patriots. #SuperBowl

Savannah’s latest video: "We received your message, and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother [to us] so that [she can be w/ us] [so that] we can celebrate w/ her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay." I fear the worst has happened.
