Iran War Live Updates: Rubio Says Iranian Tolls in Hormuz Would Be ‘Dangerous to the World’ President Trump earlier said he was pausing strikes on Iran’s energy sector for 10 more days, to April 6, so peace negotiations can take place.

Just call them "tariffs" and everybody can declare victory.

U.S. uses hundreds of Tomahawk missiles on Iran, alarming some at Pentagon More than 850 Tomahawks have been fired in just four weeks, people familiar with the matter said, alarming some Pentagon officials because the weapon’s supply is limited.

Xi, who has his own strong interest in how the U.S. might exhaust itself trying to control a narrow strait, must be absolutely salivating.

Column | Trump is the biggest threat to D.C.’s architectural splendor since War of 1812 President Trump’s garish, piecemeal changes to Washington’s urban design and architecture are poised to destroy symbolism upheld for centuries.

“A graceful and refined simplicity is the highest achievement of taste and art... ornaments increase in proportion as art declines, or as ignorance abounds.”

- U.S. Capitol architect Benjamin Latrobe, 1806

Pentagon bars press photographers over ‘unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

So technically, is this a Goebbels thing, Leni, or just plain-vanilla Orwell?

Torn: in the president-era sequel, should VP "give me a week" Nixon be played by Jeremy Strong, Adam Driver or Kristi Noem?

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Forget 4D chess. This POTUS doesn't even see the connection between the two biggest points on the Axis of Evil.

Hegseth complimenting Adm. Cooper "on behalf of the Department of War." FACT CHECK: He means "the Department of Combat Operations"

Did Secy. Rubio just say the "imminent threat" came from Israel?!?

To see how we might hope to avoid the fallout from past adventures in the ME, put this prompt into your favorite chatbot:

"Is the population of Iran today more middle class, educated, and western-oriented than Iraq or Afghanistan were prior to the U.S.-led invasions after 9/11?"

The Pentagon war-game people I sat with back in 2004 said this would be the (utterly foreseeable) first counter move after a attack on Iran.

And not the last.

Trump: "The only way they can get elected is to cheat."

Also Trump: I need you to find me 11,780 votes.

Also Trump: "we are entitled to five more seats" in Texas. - TN

Trump says we "must reject political violence of any kind."

Reminder, this speech is happening on the 1 month "anniversary" of the murder of Alex Pretti in MN by ICE agents.

Did Trump just call on Congress to “reject political violence”?

Run it back 👇

"No state can rip children from their parents' arms"

If only the President was talking about ICE.

Is now when he unveils the secret health care plan he's been working on since 2015?

A Fractured ‘Never Trump’ Movement Eyes an Uncertain Future

I wonder if this reporter and I were at the same summit. Yes, some of us disagree on tactics looking ahead to 2028. But we are united in themes, priorities, passion, and purpose.

Most of all: on putting our #PrinciplesFirst.

Do better, @NYT.
www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/u...

I came to past #PrinciplesFirst summits to understand our perilous moment, to find the right side of history, to be with my people.

This year's summit brought all that -- and a new seriousness of purpose we need. Not just to survive the next three years, but to replenish America.

"What's happening in Minneapolis, they're teaching a nation how to fight back."

@markhertling.bsky.social: "Trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets. We've lost a tanker truck full of trust over the last year, and the only thing we can do to rebuild it is replace it drop-by-drop. And I believe we will."

Nothing has made me want to rip my TV off the wall more than listening to Todd Blanche's sickening appearance on @meetthepress.com right now.

We can get there. Start with Noem and work our way up from there. Rogan and Rand Paul can help.

Donald Trump has turned the United States into a country where making and watching snuff films is a patriotic duty.

MN sheriff says ICE was too busy in Twin Cities to pick man accused of sex crime "Wholly inaccurate." The Cottonwood County Sheriff is firing back after ICE accused them of ignoring a detainer. The sheriff says they called ICE, but agents said they were too busy in the Twin Cities...

ICE is too busy harassing children to pick up the criminals our sheriffs are asking them to take.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
