Mockler: The neocon boomers surrounding Trump are mortgaging my generation's future for another very expensive Middle Eastern war. We tried this with Iraq. We tried this with Afghanistan. It left us in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.

NEW: Judges livid over Trump administration defiance are increasingly taking pains to say they still trust and respect rank and file lawyers who appear in their court rooms.

It's the DOJ and ICE leaders who they say are driving the rupture. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This could be the moment that Trump loses control.

He could end military action tonight, but if Iran mines the Strait of Hormuz, there's nothing he can do to rapidly mitigate the economic damage as demining could take months.

Trump can't overcome this with a TruthSocial post. No quick & easy exit.

Is Trump aware of the Pentagon at all? Is that why he is socializing at his resorts?

Here’s a quick factcheck on tomahawks, so you have it:

The only countries aside from US who have access to Tomahawks are:

Current Operators: United Kingdom (Royal Navy) and Australia (Royal Australian Navy).

Future Operators: Japan (2024) and the Netherlands (2025).

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?

CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

Donald Trump is mad that Iran has foiled his brilliant plan to end the war by saying the war is almost over

Trump is not aware of what is happening in the war zone he created. Does Trump know what is happening? He says he isnt aware.

Schumer on the SAVE America Act: "It is not about showing ID when you show up to vote. It's about the voter registration rolls, destroying them, purging them, not letting people know, and taking the rights in an algorithm but together by DOGE and Musk -- it's an outrage"

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

Iran can just state they have no nuclear and trump can take them at their word just like he does with Russia.

Why did trump lie about iran having tomahawk missiles? Why is trump making this claim that has not been verified by the Dept of Defense?

A fun thing about this story is that DHS told Dell "Any allegation that DHS adopted a policy making Privacy Threshold Analyses exempt from the Freedom of Information Act is FALSE,” even though Dell had already reviewed emails showing that is absolutely not true.

I think Trump is cooked—and it’s helpful for us to say so, repeatedly and often.

Authoritarians use fear to compel obedience. Once people start thinking about what they’ll do once he’s gone, they’re much less likely to obey his commands.
