Iran War review: Week 1: “Mission accomplished” Week 2: “Progress is being made” Week 3: "Send help" #IranWar

It appears that NATO isn’t buying the “Iran attacked us 47 years ago” riff.

🚨🚨🚨

Treating your allies like garbage and then demanding they bail you out of the war you started doesn’t work? Who knew?

Oh

These 52 people could have stopped a national and a world catastrophe any time they chose to. They confirmed Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, et al, okayed DOGE and tariffs, and green lighted Trump’s military attacks. The country and the world reels. Fifty-two people.

If Trump doesn't like your coverage of the war, his FCC will pull your broadcast license. That is flagrantly unconstitutional.

Eh, why should we research Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? It's not like these issues could ever possibly affect me, personally, because I, like every Republican, have no conception of time, probability, or cause and effect, I exist in a void filled solely by malicious urges.

“If the strait remains closed for even a month…sustained higher oil prices could plunge the world into a recession, raise borrowing costs, alter the outcome of ongoing wars, and shift the balance of global-power competition in favor of Russia and China” www.theatlantic.com/economy/2026...

WATCH: “The answer has to be a more progressive tax system. Give people the necessities of life for free — childcare, healthcare… the rich keep getting richer…” Lloyd Blankfein, Senior Chair of Goldman Sachs, out here sounding like @aoc.bsky.social & Bernie 👀 🎯 (From @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Hmmm. 🤔

NEW: CENTCOM says a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft was lost over western Iraq during operations, while a second aircraft involved in the incident landed safely.

🚨BREAKING: As the FBI probes the 2020 election in Maricopa County, senior Arizona officials are warning that the bureau may try to use the investigation as a way to short-circuit an ongoing lawsuit and obtain the state’s full unredacted voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Another hush money payment.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

BREAKING NYT: An ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras. (Source: Julie Brown, Miami Herald)

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure. This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease share.google/Vm0hfSMfkGIc...

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) and several Democratic officials and voting rights organizations have denounced the FBI’s decision to subpoena records related to the 2020 presidential election in Arizona’s Maricopa County. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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.

Kolanovic.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers. So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️ https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-paramount-mega-media-monopoly/?source=group-ShortText

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

42F, fog & rain isn’t the most desirable conditions but we made the most of it! We won’t be silenced, even when the weather is nasty In Petoskey. @maddow.bsky.social @jenpsaki.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jesscraven101.bsky.social @jessicatarlov.bsky.social

Noem is gone, sort of, but there are lessons to be learned from her tenure, how she was fired, and why it didn’t happen earlier, why the Senate confirmed her in the first place, that we can”t afford to ignore joycevance.substack.com/p/fired-but-...

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
