BREAKING: Trump, when privately asked not to go to war with Iran just four days before it started on Feb 28 says "Yes, you’re right. But in the end, we all die anyway. So it doesn’t matter," per Tucker Carlson in a new NPR interview. Tucker responded "but what about our kids and our grandkids and like our country?" Trump said "Ah" and did not respond. He also said Trump agreed that the war was not about the nuclear file and was being pushed by Israel for regional hegemony, to weaken the GCC, and to push US bases out.

🚨 BREAKING : Children are crying for help from beneath the rubble in the middle of the night after a residential building collapsed on six families sheltering inside after it had been previously damaged by Israeli bombardment.

Statement from Robert Kraft

🗣️ Rep. AOC tells @hicharliecotton she is boycotting Ed Sheeran because she says he's complicit in Robert Kraft and other stadium owners' efforts to silence Macklemore.

Key detail here

Robert Kraft says Macklemore won’t play Gillette Stadium with Ed Sheeran after comments and material he called antisemitic and hateful.

Israeli soldier testified that they found an old, disabled Palestinian woman in Gaza who couldn’t self-evacuate, blindfolded and cuffed her and started to drive her away in a jeep, when the officer stopped the jeep, shot her dead, dumped her body, and told them to drive on.

Macklemore says Robert Kraft rallied NFL owners to get him kicked off Ed Sheeran’s tour by threatening to withhold access to their stadiums as concert venues, and that Sheeran ultimately relented so as not to “take sides.” Sucks but at least Kraft got his happy ending.

El-Sayed: Weijia, with all due respect this is the third time you've asked about a twitch streamer in California. I'm not interested in having a conversation with streamers in California because they are not raising the prices of gas and groceries. Let's actually talk about the issues that are affecting people instead of getting distracted by whatever the president says we should be talking about. Their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact that the president has made $2.2 billion. His family has made even more. How about your family in Michigan?

IDF drone operator: "I asked to meet with the intelligence officer so I could enter targets into the computer, and he told me, ‘You have two million targets in Gaza.' The trigger was pulled extremely easily. People lost their humanity." Testimony (Heb): haaretz.co.il/news/magazine/…

If @ABlinken has gotten a single minute of comfortable sleep since telling Qatar he was not interested in immediately freeing the civilian hostages on 10/7, I don't know how he's done it

BREAKING Andy Burnham will announce a trade ban on Tuesday on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. He will say that Britain will not stand back and accept the “destruction of the two-state solution” Burnham told President Trump about the proposed ban in a phone call on Monday. No 10 said the prime minister had stressed the importance of the two-state solution. The Trump administration is expected to make a statement attacking the decision The intervention is one of Burnham’s most significant on foreign policy since he became prime minister. Ed Miliband, the foreign secretary, will announce the ban in the Commons He will raise concerns that Israel’s plans for extra housing will in effect cut the West Bank in two and destroy any hope of a two-state solution, in which Israel and an independent Palestinian state would exist side by side Israeli ministers are expected to retaliate against the sanctions. Downing Street confirmed on Monday that, since becoming prime minister, Burnham had not spoken to his Israeli counterpart, Binyamin Netanyahu Miliband is also expected to announce sanctions against people involved in the Israeli settlements. Last year, Britain sanctioned senior Israeli ministers in response to “repeated incitements of violence against Palestinian communities” The subject has divided Labour. Labour Friends of Israel, a group that includes senior Labour MPs and peers, has said that while it “strongly opposes” the settlements there is a risk that the trade ban will become a “de facto boycott” of Israel However, more than 140 Labour MPs, about a third of the parliamentary party, signed a letter calling for the government to ban trade with Israeli settlements. Supporters are preparing to table a motion at Labour’s conference this month A trade ban has strong support among Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green voters, the progressive alliance that Burnham is attempting to bring together before the next election. The majority of Labour and Liberal Democrat voters believe that Britain has been too friendly towards Israel, while the figure for Green voters is 62 per cent thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

What @RepJeffries told me the House agenda will be next year if Democrats win control in the 2026 midterms: —Reverse Trump’s Medicaid cuts —Extend expired ACA tax credits —Restore Congress’s authority on tariffs —“Decisively” end the Iran war Beyond that: “We’ve established five working groups on affordability.”
