Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off
On February 22, 2026, Naval Ravikant tweeted: "If you're unwilling to defend your country in time of war, then you're a tourist, not a citizen."

As of March 3, 2026, the tweet has been deleted.

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 it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

NEW and BREAKING:
In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court.
DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court.
A day ago, DOJ had a very different position.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Trump White House clarifies that "Operation Epic Fury" isn't a war, but a "Special Combat Operation," echoing the Kremlin's "Special Military Operation" used to describe the invasion of Ukraine. This language is used by criminals to bypass congressional approval in their weak, corrupt countries.
