Eh, the emotional damage is for the reader to sort out π
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)
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 To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own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."
7 U.S. service members and over 1,000 civilians have been killed since President Trump launched an illegal war with Iran. As these veteran members of Congress know, the costs of war are only going to rise.
Congress should refuse to fund this unconstitutional war before more people are killed.
π¨βThis is a hell hole,β attorney Eric Lee tells us about 9-month imprisonment of innocent family members of Colorado firebomber (wife & 5 kids) in disease-infested Dilley ICE prison.
He notes Trump is borrowing from Nazi playbook of collective punishment. www.statuscoupsubstack.com/p/trump-borr...
The Trump administration will soon ask Congress to pass a bill to fund the unconstitutional war with Iran.
Our elected officials must listen to their constituents and reject pleas for more money for this illegal war that Congress never authorized and the American people never wanted.
A statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein styled like Jack and Rose from Titanic appeared on the National Mall today, showing the two figures standing on a shipβs bow with their arms outstretched in the filmβs famous βKing of the Worldβ pose.
More people have died in ICE custody since October 23rd than died in the whole prior fiscal year. The most recent death was of a 56-year-old Haitian man held at an immigration detention center in Arizona. He died in a hospital after going into septic shock. www.npr.org/2026/03/10/g...
Trump denies responsibility for the deadly girls school bombing as evidence points to the U.S. The Pentagon underreports wounded troops. Iran threatens Hormuz shipping. Oil markets swing. GOP infighting grows. Lindsey Graham melts down on TV. And more.
So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?
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"
Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Not saying this is a return on investment, but my inner conspiracy theorist is not not saying it either...
Translation: we knew how inappropriate his actions were so instead of acknowledging it, we aired some old footage in the hopes that no one would notice, but someone did so now we have to spin it as an accident
CBS: If you could tell the American public the US definitively did not bomb that elementary school in Iran, you would tell us, wouldn't you?
HEGSETH: I would say it's being investigated, which is the only answer I'm prepared to give
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
Homeland Security @DHSgov Democrats must end this DHS shutdown NOW.
it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party
Literally me this morning
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"
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
βWe never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,β Stiller wrote.
"The press only wants to make the president look bad"..... By reporting on the deaths of US Troops? How dare they.
Trump's reckless & avoidable war on Iran and it has already cost taxpayers more than $5 BILLION.
$5 BILLION down the drain in less than a week on a war Americans donβt want.
But somehow we don't have money for health care or housing.
