Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didnβt back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!
U.S. forces were attacking naval targets near the Strait of Hormuz, which suggests they were most likely to have carried out the strike.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if the United States had conducted the airstrike on the school: βNot that we know of.β www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

Kristi NoemΒ ledΒ a lawless and violent agency that wreaked havoc on our state and killed two Minnesotans. Her firing is welcome news, but it isΒ muchΒ too late.
Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harmβs way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.
Weβre glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHSβ rampant violence.
But Noemβs firing doesnβt suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability β itβs a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itβs good sheβs gone.
But this doesnβt change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Well would you look at that
TODAY: The House is expected to vote on legislation aimed at stopping Trumpβs war with Iran.
The American people do not want another forever war in the Middle East. Urge your representative to support the War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump and prevent further military operations in Iran.
AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money launderingβ¦ So if youβre asking me if Iβd support impeachment, I do
Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys says it's important to the band to visit the Minneapolis site where federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti. They will perform a free acoustic set at an anti-ICE fundraiser there, arguing the killing represents a profound shift in American society.
A vote to fund the war is a vote for the war. Full stop.
Minnesota residentsβ collective response to the surge has ricocheted across the internet, captivated the countryβs attention and given the state a new identity.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. Theyβre tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say itβs a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. Youβre a farmer β you donβt castrate a goat, they behave badly.
Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."
I dunno guys. I kinda feel like the administration overplayed their hand starting a war to distract from ICE to distract from the economy to distract from the Epstein Files...
More reporting on the potential of state charges. www.startribune.com/greg-bovi...
Dear DHS agents: the presidential pardon power only extends to federal crimes.
State charges can still be brought.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.
It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.
we reached the βno WMDsβ phase in two days.
Trump promised no new wars and has engaged in military action in Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria and Iraq.
Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. It's still raging a year later.
Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."
