Before US went to war, Gen Dan Caine, chairman of Joint Chiefs, told Trump an American attack could prompt Iran to close Strait of Hormuz.
Caine said in several briefings that U.S. officials had long believed Iran would deploy mines, drones and missiles to close the world’s most vital shipping lane

This … isn’t different.
This is horrific.
this seems like it could be a ticking time bomb www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
Cool cool. The tankers trump seized are costing us tens of millions of dollars to maintain, and he can't sell the oil without a judge's permission. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...
Wow.
"... that raises fundamental questions about the purpose of the U.S. government. What should it do? Whom should it benefit, and why?"
Great questions that ultimately define American democracy.

In today's newsletter, I discuss the child-like grandiosity that led Trump to choose for his Iran war the name "Epic Fury." Andrew notes the child-like subservience of his terrorized sycophants, clapping like seals and wearing Trump-selected shoes too big for them.

Never has there been this much incompetence in the American government.
Trump and his cabinet are globally ridiculed, justly so. History will not be kind.

Epstein didn’t just leave behind a scandal. He left behind a financial architecture. Dozens of entities. Hundreds of accounts. Private ledgers. Corporate shells. And two quiet professionals who helped run the system...and later inherited control of the wreckage.

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.
Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had.
So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.

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)
Russia is literally teaching Iran how to kill Americans — and Donald Trump’s refusal to even acknowledge it isn’t just failed leadership, it’s an obscene betrayal of the very people he’s sworn to protect.
