Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

Checking in on the president's family today as war spreads across the world and the global economy crashes
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

Some version of this is absolutely happening in the WH tonight.
Hegseth: Putting the casual in casualties.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
Thick black clouds and oil‑saturated rain are shrouding Iran's capital this morning after major airstrikes hit refineries and storage sites south and west of the city. CNN's Fred Pleitgen reports. CNN operates in Iran only with government permission.
Opinion from @maxmccoy.com: If Kansas punishes schools for student walkouts, it will discourage free speech. Just as intended. #ksleg
Iran has a new strategy. They are targeting $1B radar systems that detect missiles and drones using cheap drones. Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have all been hit. Russia is reportedly providing intelligence. (WSJ)
Fox’s dignified transfer footage now just completely excludes Trump
Remarkable how shook Fox is by the footage of Trump wearing a tacky campaign hat to a dignified transfer
The U.S. government has expertise in sneaking massive loopholes into policies that supposedly prohibit domestic surveillance. Oh, hey! Look! OpenAI just rushed into an amicable agreement with the U.S. military. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Fox & Friends: "We want to acknowledge a mistake made earlier on our program. During our coverage of yesterday's dignified transfer, we inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday. We deeply regret the error."
Lindsey Graham: "If we get in a fight, I want to win it quick. I'm in Miami. You see this hat? 'Free Cuba.' Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We're marching through the world. We're clearing out the bad guys. Cuba is next."
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
You wouldn't think something this pathetic and telling would be attempted by any news organization, not even a news organization that agreed to pay $787 million in settlement money for making shit up out of whole cloth. I'm sure that this latest will produced some chastened reflection at Fox.
When lawyers are motivated to “get to yes,” their work is prone to bullshit (in the technical sense). @danmaurerlawprof.bsky.social argues that the Maduro Rendition memorandum is full of it.
Time to discuss the realities of, "So You Want to Launch a Ground Invasion of Iran."
1. First, of course, you need ground connected to Iran. That means Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
Just keep driving.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
