Hoping that something does fundamentally change.
@shailjapatel Didn’t US soldiers use White phosphorus in their attacks on Fallujah during their war on Iraq?
Marco Rubio: "Unlike them, we're hitting military targets"
This is quite stunning. NYT reports Iranian strikes have rendered many of the 13 U.S. bases in the region largely "uninhabitable", forcing the dispersal of many of the roughly 40,000 troops stationed in the region, some to Europe, others to improvised sites including hotels, effectively fighting the war “remotely.” The result: a war that is now “much harder to prosecute,” with the U.S. “absolutely” losing capability. Iran is even accusing the U.S. of using human shields. A disastrous, strategically self-defeating war of choice that is exposing real U.S. military vulnerabilities with far-reaching consequences.
Anybody could have seen this coming. Finally Big Tech is being held accountable for the damage it’s done to our adolescence. The jury tells you where public opinion is. No time to rest on our laurels. Now it’s time to take it to the next step. Congress has to act and ban social media for kids under the age of 16. It’s either the adults or the algorithms that will raise our children. Let’s make the right choice. nytimes.com/2026/03/25/tec…

Rep. Greg Meeks tells me he hasn’t decided whether to force a vote on his war powers resolution this week or in mid-April. He also confirmed my reporting that his whip efforts have gotten most Dem defectors on board, with just one member whose vote is uncertain.
$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.
BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.
There is no excuse here — Democrats can actually pass a War Powers Resolution but Dem leadership is slow-walking so members don't have to be put on the record. Voters are demanding Democrats oppose this war. Instead, Dem leadership is working overtime to serve Trump & AIPAC.

I don't understand why you would delay this vote a month. The war is happening now. Vote!
A lot of the problems in the world right now can be explained by this video. For one thing, it’s a big reason why the US government is so unaccountable to public opinion. These are *college students.* A significant amount of the country is totally checked out and comfortable enough not to think it matters.

The only person responsible for this war is Donald Trump. It was his decision and his decision alone. Unclear to me why and Dem would not be clear about that.
