5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
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:
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...
Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."
I know it feels like the day-to-day intensity of the ICE occupation in Minnesota has calmed down, but there are so many lagging problems that need solving, right as people’s attention goes elsewhere. Financial assistance, like help with rent, and legal help for the detained. These horrors persist.
I lived through Watergate.
This is a far, far, FAR, QUANTUM LEAP from Watergate.
Headlines:
3 cargo ships have been attacked.
The Strait of Hormuz remains choked off.
Reports of some Iranian oil getting through to China.
GCC slowing down oil production due to lack of storage.
Gas prices have gone up for 11 straight days.
Donald Trump is a pedophile.
Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
Kristi Noem was an absolute failure at DHS. A complete disgrace. But Trump’s new pick is somehow worse.
So we need everyone on board as loud as possible telling their Senators to vote no on this disaster of a nominee!
The brave women and men who serve our country in uniform are not Trump's political pawns.
Americans are paying the price for Donald Trump's reckless, unconstitutional war with Iran. We need to put an end to this.

tRump dragged us into a war that we don't want.
He should be removed from office and impeached. The cost to taxpayers and to Iranian children is just too much.
More and more Republicans will not be seeking reelection.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
I lived through Vietnam. I lost at least one friend there.
We do not want or need another unwinnable war.
We do not want bodybags with our children in them.
We should be screaming this.
Two words:
Market manipulation.
The worst part of oil prices skyrocketing is that the #Epstein files still have yet to be fully released.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.
Yes!
Breeze from the 60s: Always question authority (and those who would ascend to authority).
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
Glad to see you here speaking truth, Lakota Man. We were mutuals at the old bad place.

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.
Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.
📌 The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate “Armageddon.”
Vaccines save lives.
Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease.
In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.
