Q: "Did the U.S. bomb a girls' elementary school…and kill 175 people?"
Trump: "No. In my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran."
Q: "Is that true, Mr. Hegseth? It was Iran that did that?"
Hegseth: "We're investigating it."
Trump: "It was done by Iran."
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
These are Olena Udovichenko and her son Hordii.
A Russian missile killed them today.
Olena was a teacher in a Kharkiv school, Hordii was a second-grader there.
Last night, Russia killed 11 people in Kharkiv, including Olena and Hordii.
RIP.
Soldiers were literally on their hands and knees to roll out a red carpet for Putin recently.

The White House has submitted its War Powers report to Congress for the attack on Iran.
The justification for military action rests on 1) Iran's supposed continued quest for nuclear weapons and 2) the threat Iran's missiles pose to US forces, vessels, civilians and those of partners. 1/n
WSJ: “.. U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information say the Trump administration’s assertions about threats from Iran are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong.”

The Pentagon says it’s ‘lethalitymaxxing’. Why has ‘incel’ slang crossed into the mainstream?
What pride flushes the patriot’s cheek when he remembers that his nation can murder faster than any other people. Ah, foolish generation, ye are groping in the flames of hell to find your heaven, raking amid blood and bones for the foul thing which ye call glory. Killing is not the path to prosperity; huge armaments are a curse to the nation itself as well as to its neighbours.
A great fun fact for your next engagement with a Christian Nationalist type is that Charles Spurgeon, the 19th century überBaptist known as the "prince of preachers," was an avowed pacifist.
EXCLUSIVE: A draft executive order that would allow Trump to take unprecedented control over federal elections is reportedly being circulated with the White House.

Claims of 40 dead after an Israeli airstrike on a elementary girl’s school in Iran

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.
The USA and Israel have started bombing Iran and Trump has announced an explicit political goal, full regime change for the Iranian people. Air power is certainly about to have a moment. I put together this free primer on what we know and what we should be asking. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
Investigative Post obtained this video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the nearly blind Burmese refugee who was found dead
www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/26/t...
Shah Alam, 56, did not speak English. He was lost. He could not see. Border Patrol didn't contact his family or lawyer. They left him on the streets of Buffalo, where he died five days later.
"Exactly four years of war, as of today. The cemeteries in Ukraine are larger than they should be. Fresh graves change the landscapes, as seen from a car or a train; the short spans of life, seen inscribed in stone, alter the reaction of the heart."

Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
Grateful that @theunpopulist.net gave me full sail on the history of Grant during the constitutional crisis:
Breaking news: A former ICE instructor accused the agency of dramatically slashing training standards for new officers and lying to Congress about it as the Trump administration seeks to rapidly expand its mass deportation operation.
My assessment of the damage Trump and Hegseth are doing to the DOD legal culture.

Four years into its war, Moscow has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives.
The pressure in the peace talks seems to be falling on Ukraine. But if we want this war to stop and any peace to last, we need to see concessions from Russia.
