I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
The most prominent cryptic lineage in the world right now is from Lincoln, Nebraska.
It's a B.1 infection (about 5 years old) that has been detected in their wastewater every week for about the last 18 months.
Sooo....

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

In 1846, enslaved spouses Dred and Harriet Scott sued for their freedom after their enslaver brought them to territories where slavery was outlawed.
Trump on terrorist attacks in America: “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
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.
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”
Explicitly capitalist media again shares a new piece that Long COVID is concerning, has no cure and again, embarrassingly, is doing better public health comms about this than most public health orgs. www.forbes.com/sites/omeraw...

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.
Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.
A confocal microscopy image showing early tau accumulation in the brain with Alzheimer's Disease. Everything in blue (all nuclei) and green (neurons) is healthy. All the other colors are composed of a combination of different markers for pathological tau. The key question is: how do we avoid this tau spreading from cell to cell via neuronal connections? If we can avoid this, we can avoid memory loss.
Guess you can use a timeline cleanser? Can I show you some microscopy? My job is to see beauty even in sad things (so we can learn how to prevent them!). This is a brain with early Alzheimer's. This image was acquired in 3D and took 72 hours to get ready!

"Only" 1 in 5 USians support yet another illegal war in the Middle East. Congrats America!

1984 predicted this, and we still ignored the warning
if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

If it does happen that Ted Cruz is named for the Supreme Court, reporters will need to call out the gross, incestuous connections. First, nearly half the SC would then come from George W Bush's legal team contesting the 2000 election: Cruz, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. 1/
im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization
today in things i say that apparently will generate vitriolic hate trains against me: "oligarchical consolidation of media is bad but also there are limits to what can be done given the nation's size and its deeply-rooted tradition of a free press."
As Trump’s clandestine censorship campaign proceeds, displays that focus on persecution and environmental degradation have become particular targets.
But the Park Service is also planning to remove signs that merely acknowledge the existence of controversy or conflict.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
Holy guacamole!
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military. The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY. Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow. WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 29 ReTruths 61 Likes Feb 27, 2026, 3:47 PM
