The idea that the US did it on purpose to kill the kids of IRGC soldiers would be less conspiratorial if Pete Hegseth and all his top guys hadn't made literally their entire careers on arguing that war crimes are cool and there should be no limits at all on American violence.

A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway. What the evidence shows: Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes. Built to fail: The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone. Accountability buried: Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one. My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.

Eby: "I feel sorry for Americans. If you can't be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have a friend anywhere in the world. And that is a very lonely place to be."

• March 2025: Taylor Farms contributes $1 million to Make America Great Again Inc., days after the FDA delays the Food Traceability Rule.
• The FDA informs Taylor Farms that one of its iceberg lettuce products tested positive for cyclospora, prompting a voluntary recall.
• During the cyclospora outbreak: The New York Times reports Taylor Farms hires a former Trump White House official.
• Last week: Taylor Farms executives meet with White House and FDA officials, where the company challenges aspects of the government's outbreak conclusions, according to the New York Times.
• Now: Taylor Farms says the FDA apologized, calling the positive test a false positive and stating no Taylor Farms product has tested positive for cyclospora.

Jeffrey Epstein's victims asked a court to unseal his non-prosecution deal, the one that shielded his unnamed co-conspirators.
The United States government filed a formal opposition to keep it sealed.
It fought the victims to protect the deal.

U.S. soldiers were sent to die in the Middle East for Israel’s wars.
Meanwhile, the families of the people who pushed those wars are enjoying the World Cup from luxury seats.
The ruling class gets the view.
Ordinary families get the coffins.

This is the granular level of the personal cost of President Trump’s foolish war of choice in Iran. This genuinely patriotic American was sacrificed on the altar of the President’s ego.
She did not die to “protect America” as the Pentagon will try to claim.
She died bc of the arrogance of our rotting elite class in America. Her blood is more on their hands than even the Iranian missiles and drones that affected her physical death.
I weep that she likely won’t b the last to be pointlessly sacrificed.

Isabella Gonzales was 19 years young. She was sent to the Middle East to fight a war for Israel. She died for Israel, against her will💔

If Max Miller wasn’t a Congressman, he would probably be in jail for physically abusing the daughter and granddaughter of a US senator and likely breaking his own toddler’s collarbone. This report was appalling, and at the bare minimum, Miller deserves to lose his seat.
Mother Jones@MotherJones
Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) long maintained he wasn't impaired during a 2011 crash. But newly obtained toxicology reports reveal he had MDMA and Klonopin in his system. It's part of a 2,000-page trove of records we obtained about Miller, who is currently running for a third term. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Iran injured dozens of US soldiers in military strikes last week, before two were killed.
"But the Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes, nor the casualties and damage they inflicted."

Andrew Tate: "I'm very close with the Trump family. I know them well. I spoke to Barron…”

JUST IN: U.S. Marshals have arrested Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami on a sealed warrant, according to a federal law enforcement source. The brothers face multiple charges, including rape and assault, according to the UK Crown Prosecution Service. The Tate brothers have reportedly been close to the Trump family. In 2024, Andrew Tate said: “I’m very close with the Trump family. I know them well. I spoke to Barron.” Last year, the Financial Times reported that Trump administration officials pressed Romanian authorities to lift travel restrictions on the Tate brothers. They later traveled to the United States.
