I just can't believe the guy who attacked his own capital would be this crazy.

New analysis from @MeidasTouch details Trump's conflicting claims throughout his war in Iran: Mar 3: “We won the war.” Mar 7: “We defeated Iran.” Mar 9: “We must attack Iran.” Mar 9: “The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully.” Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: “We did win, but we haven’t won completely yet.” Mar 13: “We won the war.” Mar 14: “Please help us.” Mar 15: “If you don’t help us, I will certainly remember it.” Mar 16: “Actually, we don’t need any help at all.” Mar 16: “I was just testing to see who’s listening to me.” Mar 16: “If NATO doesn’t help, they will suffer something very bad.” Mar 17: “We neither need nor want NATO’s help.” Mar 17: “I don’t need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO.” Mar 18: “Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.” Mar 19: “US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz.” Mar 20: “NATO are cowards.” Mar 21: “The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don’t use it, we don’t need to open it.” Mar 22: “This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait” Mar 22: “Iran is Dead” Mar 23: “We had very good and productive talks with Iran.” Mar 24: “We’re making progress.” Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.” Mar 26: “Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away.” Mar 27: “We don’t have to be there for NATO.” Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing Mar 30: “Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences.” Mar 31: Claimed a deal was “very close” and Iran would “do the right thing” Apr 1: “We’ll see what happens very soon.” Apr 3: “Something big is going to happen.” Apr 4: Said Iran must comply “immediately” or face further consequences Apr 5: “Open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” April 7: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."

President Obama at the Jackson service: "We are living in a time when 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. An offense to common decency. Every day you wake up to things you just didn't think were possible. Each day we're told by those in high office to fear each other and to turn on each other and that some Americans count more than others. And that some don't even count at all. Everywhere, we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength." … "If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers, 9 members of a jury found him liable in the sexual assault of E. Jean Carroll. That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

CBS News producer Mary Walsh resigns after 46 years, because “We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that.” theguardian.com/media/2026/feb…

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped up that deal. Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

THIS.

Oh.

There is no legal basis for this war. There is no imminent threat that demands this war. There is no stated objective for this war.

Trump and Netanyahu seem to be totally unconcerned about the human beings - on all sides - who will suffer.

@neal_katyal THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Please keep up the fight!

Democratic men with platforms, including podcasts, need to spend more time talking about the right’s hatred of women. This isn’t just schtick; it’s an existential threat — even if it’s not directed at you.

questions for Republican senators: killing desperately-poor kids in Africa by cutting lifesaving USAID programs wasn't too much for you? slaughtering helpless men clinging to boat wreckage in the ocean wasn't too much? how about ICE agents murdering a woman in her car?

“People can sleep again….”

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.
