March 2, 2026 The Economist’s Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom noted that Trump appears to be workshopping the causes for his attacks on Iran and his goals for the war by talking to journalists.

"the American people would like to know why we are engaged in what appears to be a war of choice, and why this approach to the world is better than the one that kept us safe for 80 years..."March 2, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This is ridiculous. The current MAGA Republican Party believes in wacko conspiracy theories and is making policies and laws based on nonsense. This is embarrassing, for them, not Hillary. The guy who spurred the QAnon frenzy, and all of this crazy stuff is Donald J. Trump. #RemoveTrumpNow #impeach

Yup. It’s what Putin did. It’s what Orban did. It’s what so many of us warned Trump would do and were called hysterics. It’s heartbreaking.

NASHVILLE β€” ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
