Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the โ€‹Middle East."

Inside the Trump administrationโ€™s scramble to support its own war One State Department official said too few people were read in on war plans.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) is preparing for the war to last until September 2026. #Iran

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donโ€™t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people โ€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, theyโ€™re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Biden did it We lost 92,000 jobs in Feb, & the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. Stock market is no longer above 50,000 & since Feb 2025 Trumpโ€™s has added only about 200k jobs. Bidenโ€™s 1st yr=+6.7 million jobs

Politico has confirmed two things from CENTCOM.

1. Trump has no plan for how to end this war (that actually might be the plan).

2. Even if we started scaling back today, the military won't be able to withdraw from Iran until September 2026.

Note: No clear objective has been declared.

I do remember the assault on the humanities starting in the 1990s on college campuses and in public schools. I didnโ€™t realize its origin was rooted in eugenics. What a sad commentary that an illiterate like Epstein could get brilliant minds to believe such Nazi-inspired trash.

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

Today the House votes on the War Powers Resolution. I will vote YES to limit U.S. military involvement in Iran.

My thoughts are with the families of the 6 American service members killed in Donald Trumpโ€™s war of choice.

Congressโ€”not the Presidentโ€”decides when America goes to war.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. Itโ€™s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

@msnowreports.bsky.social justice covered it on @anacabrera.bsky.social โ€˜s program. @nytimes.com has a small story today. Basically we did it while striking a military target.

Donald Trump called this war. Pete Hegseth called this war. Where the fuck is Congress? They owe us, the American people, a war powers resolution. It is our family members that are fighting this war. It is our tax dollars that fund this war. The least they could do is vote.

But Biden was the one asleep at the wheelโ€ฆright. โ€œSleepy Joeโ€ was the one really putting

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictโ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaโ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
