Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doing what UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen not to do, criticise the US and Israel for their attack on Iran which breached international law

We went from *Nuclear capacities destroyed, years away (last June!) *Weapons in weeks! *What happens to Iran's nuclear weapons (that don't exist)? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-reason...

There are some excellent journalists and producers at CBS and 60 Minutes. Telling millions of people that Iran has nuclear weapons, when the IAEA among many others say Iran doesn’t, is, journalistically, spreading misinformation at best, lying for the admin/spreading propaganda at worst.

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

voters elected trump to make them rich

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

In a follow up comment, Hegseth’s PR and makeup team confirmed that a half inch of downward movement counts as a push up.

Kayfabe war every week!

Now that we have started an aggressive war in violation of domestic and international law, you need to support the domestic terror apparatus we are building to target you. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics.

You can storm the capitol and get pardoned for it though

Outstanding piece, esp this: "That effectively flipped the rules from the president needs Congressional approval and must withdraw without it to Congress must pass a bill telling the president to stop military action and needs a supermajority to make him."

Sociopaths, particularly stupid ones, don't plan much.

Ted Cruz: "I have no indication they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons"

Kash Patel’s girlfriend is exactly the sort of country singer you’d think she’d be. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

❗️Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman has authorized the Saudi military to respond to Iranian attacks, CNN reports. #Iran

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

1. There is no such thing as "Jamaran Class". Jamaran is the name of a ship in the Moudge Class. 2. The Moudge Class is a class of frigates, not corvettes. 3. Trump turned CentCom into a bunch of amateurs, obviously.

It's kind of hard to imagine any strategic goal that can be achieved by murdering the entire political elite of a large country, including retired and opposition figures. There will be no state left to negotiate with. Unless complete anarchy is the goal.

I don’t even really think this is fair. Iraq was heavily debated publicly, and there was a plan. It was a stupid and delusional plan based on unrealistic assumptions, but it was known publicly and voted on by Congress. There was no public debate or Congressional authorization in this instance.

"The most relevant question is not 'is this government bad?' or 'do they deserve it?' The most relevant question is 'will this use of military force make things better, enough to be worth the death and suffering it’ll impose?' It’s hard to see how this will." www.liberalcurrents.com/internationa...

If you're a DC area bartender or related service industry worker and you hear govt./military people talking about the strikes on Iran, let me know what they're saying. I'm on signal at nslayton.12

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

🧵: None of us really know whether Bibi's & Trump's statements that Ayatullah Uzma Khameini has been killed today. Nor how much of the Iranian leadership across the Quds Force, the IRGC, the rest of the military, the Majles (parliament), & regional or municipal leaders have been killed. 1/

This is the problem: this isn’t a complex issue. This isn’t two intelligent people disagreeing about policy. This is an idiotic madman with zero grasp of the underlying facts lurching into a conflict he has plan to win and no ability to understand, on the basis of naked lies.

"Mr President please provide a detailed account of your strategic considerations and timeline for withdrawal" my dude he just invaded an American city for a month because of a youtube video

This reads like it's coming from someone who has no familiarity with Donald Trump at all

New footages shows U.S. Patriot batteries intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles over Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, with PAC-3 MSE interceptors engaging multiple targets. One interceptor appears to have malfunctioned. #Iran

The King is mad

We are a global scourge but the world won’t do anything to stop us

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

LMAOOOOOO. Noem's strategy of pretending the Disaster Relief Fund was almost empty didn't work, so she drained it (bad) by paying out $5 billion in recovery projects (good). This lady is fucking nuts. www.politico.com/live-updates...

i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.

All these people walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hello, Donald."

Excited to meet the good folks at Project Salt Box at the event tonight: Open Data as Community Defense at Red Emma’s in Baltimore. @projectsaltbox.bsky.social @redemmas.org @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social redemmas.org/events/proje...

They are at freakin Mar-a-Lago. Vacation-ass war.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Americans get it. This guy for elected office, please

Mike Johnson (R): "I haven't really heard much about this Iran thing."

Even if Trump is taken at his word that he genuinely seeks to liberate the people of Iran, what is his strategy for achieving it? wapo.st/4seF5K1

This is what people mean when they say "this is not who we are". It's Midwestern police departments finding out even they have a limit. It's everyday suburbanites funding transport & relocation for trans women in danger. It's fighting to crush Republican supermajorities in red states this November.

Apparently unsatisfied with his decision to start a war with the AI industry, the President is now loosing rounds at insurance. [I think this is related to health care specifically but honestly who knows] *TRUMP: I WANT TO STOP ALL PAYMENTS TO BIG INSURANCE COMPANIES

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

When you bet on both Crockett and Talarico to win the general election.
