- ‘They’re Following Netanyahu?!’ Senator Blasts Trump for Going Along With ...
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) was aghast at the rationale offered by the Trump administration for bombing Iran. On Saturday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered their respective militaries to bomb Iran. The attacks killed dozens of top Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Hundreds of Iranian civilians were killed in the strikes, including at least 165 people – mostly children – at a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran. Six U.S. soldiers died in Kuwait in a retaliatory strike by an Iranian drone. According to a report in The New York Times, Netanyahu was instrumental in convincing Trump to act. On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. started bombing Iran because the Trump administration knew Israel was about to strike, which might mean more U.S. casualties. “[T]he president made the very wise decision, we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action,” Rubio told reporters. “We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made similar comments about Trump’s decision. Gallego, an Iraq war veteran, joined Monday’s All In on MS NOW, where he expressed disbelief and contempt at the dynamic. Earlier in the day, he tweeted, “I lost friends in Iraq to an illegal war. A young working-class kid should not pay the ultimate price for regime change and a war that hasn’t been explained or justified to the American people.” “I was texting with a few different veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars today,” host Chris Hayes told Gallego. “And it’s been hitting people very hard just at an emotional level to watch this happen. And it seems like it is for you as well.” “Look, I’m still living with the war,” Gallego replied. “It just frustrates me that we didn’t learn the lessons from 2003.” The senator then focused his ire on Netanyahu, as well as Trump for getting dragged into a “dumb war”: There’s a lot of things we could have done. And there was just such a rush to war. And we’re all paying for this. We’re all paying for this, whether it’s, we’re cutting Medicaid to pay for those bombs. We’re losing attention on the fact that this country right now is just suffering and trying to get anything to just breathe a little… [TheTopNews] Read More.48 mins ago - Senator Tuberville Says It’s ‘Unfortunate’ That American Soldiers Died, â€...Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) lamented the loss of six U.S. service members killed in Kuwait by an Iranian drone, but chalked it up to the cost of war. On Saturday, the U.S. and Israel initiated a massive bombing campaign on targets across Iran. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was among several top-ranking officials who were killed. A slew of civilians also died, including at least 165 people – mostly children – at a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran. Appearing on Newsmax on Monday, Tuberville expressed enthusiasm for the military campaign, which President Donald Trump said could go on for weeks. “President Trump’s doing the right thing,” the senator said. “We took out the leaders. I don’t know who they had running the show, but they started pushing the buttons to the missiles and started hitting their neighbors. And the neighbors are all mad now. So, it’s just unfortunate. We lost what you said earlier, six people now. And my understanding is that they were in Kuwait, in one of their neighbors, and they got hit. So it’s just unfortunate that happened. But this is war – it’s gonna get worse before it gets better. But I’m telling you who’s going to win this war. The United States of America is gonna win this war.” In 2023, Tuberville, who did not serve in the military, claimed he was its fiercest advocate. “There’s nobody more military up here than me,” he said at the time. Democrats and some Republican lawmakers have criticized the strikes and said Trump should have sought authorization for them from Congress, which is set to vote on War Powers resolutions this week. The War Powers Act of 1973 restricts the president’s ability to send soldiers into armed conflict. The measures are expected to stall in the Republican-controlled Congress.

- The FBI Staffers Kash Patel Ousted Because They Worked on Mar-a-Lago Probe Had I...
Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images FBI Director Kash Patel fired at least a dozen counterintelligence staffers at the FBI mere days before the U.S. strikes on Iran, despite their relevant expertise, because they had also previously worked on the investigation into the classified documents at President Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago, according to a report by the New York Sun. The ousted staffers included agents and personnel from a counterintelligence unit called CI-12 in the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and the firings were ordered directly by Patel, reported the Sun’s Daniel Edward Rosen, citing “four former officials familiar with the dismissals.” Their work focused on “media leaks, global espionage, and threats that included those involving the Iranian regime.” “More broadly, CI squads are the lead domestic teams for investigating insider threats and foreign intelligence activity on American soil,” wrote Rosen. The timing of these firings came just days before the beginning of the Iran strikes and a mass shooting at a bar in downtown Austin, Texas by a man who was wearing clothing that said “Property of Allah” and a design resembling the Iranian flag. The reason the CI-12 staffers were fired, wrote Rosen, was because they “had previously been assigned, in some capacity, to the Justice Department’s investigation — under the aegis of the Biden administration at the time — into Mr. Trump’s retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.” A week ago, Patel had told Reuters he had found out that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith and the FBI “had secretly obtained his phone records, along with those of Trump aide and current White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, as part of Mr. Smith’s investigations into Mar-a-Lago as well as into January 6,” wrote Rosen. Patel claimed this subpoena was the action of a “weaponized” Biden DOJ, calling it “outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records — along with those of now-White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles — using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight.” A few hours after the Reuters article was published, the FBI fired “at least a dozen” of the CI-12 employees who worked on the Mar-a-Lago investigation and were believed to have worked on the subpoenas of Patel and Wiles’ phone records, reported Rosen. Patel has been under scrutiny after his trip to the Olympics in Milan,… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Erik Prince Tells Steve Bannon Trump Should Bomb a Few More Targets and ‘Be Do...
Screenshot via War Room Blackwater founder Erik Prince joined Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast on Monday and urged President Donald Trump to “call this a win” in Iran, possibly bomb some additional Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps targets, and then “be done.” Prince, the brother of former Trump cabinet member Betsy DeVos, has long been a close ally of Trump and remains active in the global private security business. “Hang on, hang on. What would Erik Prince’s — if this is a Roman punitive raid, like the empire used to do, or even the Republic — if you’re going to hit them, what is your recommendation? You’re an expert,” Bannon asked, adding: What — what do you — from what you’ve seen in operational security, they haven’t put a lot out, but what would you do in the next 24 to 48 hours to make sure that they understood this is rough Roman justice? The Persians should respond to that. They got enough of it when those two empires wanted each other, sir. PRINCE: Bomb the hell out of anything of value to the IRGC that enables the Quds Force and MOIS to suppress the ppl. Be done and cut away. Tell the remaining Iranian leadership if we have to come back, we’ll take apart your economic infrastructure. But the regime is willing to… https://t.co/qASxTO3sz1 pic.twitter.com/NgiQMM6MBJ — Grace Chong, MBI (@gc22gc) March 2, 2026 “Every IRGC — not that they would be in the barracks anymore — but anything that was of value to the IRGC that enables the IRGC, Quds force, and MOIS to continue to suppress the people: bomb the hell out of those, and then be done. And then cut away,” Prince replied, adding: And then tell the Iranian leadership that remains: if we have to come back, we’re going to take apart all your economic infrastructure. The problem — the problem with bombing, with picking a fight now with Iranian clerical religious extremists — is they are really willing to die for their cause. And they will take everything else with them, and they will burn down the rest of the Middle East. I suspect they will continue to launch drone attacks into the GCC countries. They even hit Cyprus yesterday — the British base at Akrotiri — because there are US aircraft launching from there. So they have the ability to punch much… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - ‘We’re in Another F***ing War’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Unloads on Trump, A...Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) unloaded on President Donald Trump amid the ongoing military campaign against Iran. The U.S. and Israel commenced bombing Iran on Saturday amid peace talks. Several high-ranking Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, were killed. The strikes have killed civilians, including at least 165 people – mostly children – at a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran. Six U.S. soldiers have been killed. Trump has said he expects the campaign to last weeks. In one wild admission, Trump said he had a few successors in mind for new Iranian leadership, but they were all eliminated in the bombings. According to a report in The New York Times, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was instrumental in convincing Trump to act. The strikes have turbocharged the ongoing debate within the MAGA movement about foreign interventionism. Greene and others, including Tucker Carlson, have said the strikes are damaging to Trump’s “America First” agenda. Greene appeared on Monday’s edition of The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM, where she railed against the bombings. I was out there on the front lines for Make America Great Again. And Make America Great Again was supposed to be America First, not Israel First, not any foreign country First, not any foreign people First, but the American people First and our problems. And you know, God bless the Iranian people. I hope they can have a government that is for them and that treats women fairly. But what we have seen happen right now is we seen over 100 little girls killed at a school from a bomb. And I don’t know whose bomb it was, but they’re dead today because America and Israel attacked Iran. So, that’s not really good for Iranian women. And our president is saying that the Iranian people are all of a sudden going to topple their regime. Well, I don’t think the Iranian people are going to be toppling their regime when they’re getting blown apart by the United States and Israel in an unprovoked attack. And yes, it was unprovoked. And Pete Hegseth said this morning, Megyn, he said that we didn’t start this war. But I hate to argue with the secretary of the department of war, America and Israel definitely started this war and you can’t lie that away to the American people. Greene then turned her attention to Trump: He already said to The… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Bill Clinton Testifies That Trump Told Him He Had ‘Great Times’ With Epstein...The GOP-led House Oversight Committee released on Monday its full depositions with former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton was asked at one point about playing in a charity golf tournament with Trump, who explained to Clinton why he and Epstein stopped being friends. Trump, in the past, claimed he and Epstein had a falling out over Epstein stealing a young woman from his spa at Mar-a-Lago. In July of 2025, Trump claimed, “I never went to his island … He stole people that worked for me — the spa girls. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ … I threw him out — persona non grata.” Clinton recalled Trump’s version of why Epstein was no longer a friend: “The Safe at Home Foundation was designed to combat domestic violence, of which Joe Torre had been a victim as a child. And so I wanted to support it. Donald Trump gave him the golf course in New York to have a tournament on, and I played in it a couple of times. The day I was there, he would typically — Donald Trump would come out and play a few holes with us.” Clinton continued: And he somehow knew I had flown in Jeffrey Epstein’s aircraft, and he said, “You know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out, all because of a real estate deal.” And he said, “I’m sorry it happened.” That’s all. “Do you recall whether President Trump was the first one to affirmatively bring up the subject of Jeffrey Epstein?” asked the committee’s attorney. “No, but I’d be shocked if I did. I just don’t do it, you know,” Clinton replied.
