Texas state Rep. James Talarico speaks to the media after voting in Austin, Texas, on February 17, 2026.

AdvertisementRubio’s argument is that Israel told the U.S. it was planning to bomb Iran. Rather than attempt to talk Israel out of launching an attack, Rubio suggested the United States had no chance but to join a war Israel was going to launch. “Israel faced an existential risk and they were prepared to strike Iran alone,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told reporters on Monday. It was a threat to Israel,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters on Monday.

Hayes blasted several aspects of the video, as well as the attack’s execution and aftermath. But Hayes made it a point to call out one detail from Trump’s video that feels indicative of how messy everything about this attack looks: Trump’s “ridiculous” hat. President Donald Trump wearing a baseball cap in January that looks very similar to the one he wore in his video Saturday. “Looking absolutely exhausted, I might add, wearing a ridiculous USA baseball cap.”Trump looked pretty unserious during his serious announcement thanks to the cap. Not only was it way too casual for the occasion, but it was also too big for Trump’s head.

The U.S. has between 500,000 and a million people in the Middle East. After pressure, the government is now saying it will work on chartering aircraft and using military planes to transport people who want to leave. Alison Durkee of Forbes reported today that Trump’s military strikes in Iran have already cost U.S. taxpayers more than $1 billion. Transporting troops, ships, and aircraft to the Middle East cost about $630 million. Trump made little effort to present his case for military strikes against Iran to the American people.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has agreed to appear voluntarily before the House Oversight Committee about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, as the panel issued a raft of new requests for testimony from people once associated with the late convicted sex offender. “Secretary Lutnick has proactively agreed to appear voluntarily,” House Oversight Chair James Comer said in a statement. While Lutnick described cutting ties with Epstein in 2005, the Justice Department recently released documents that suggest otherwise. As CNN has reported, Lutnick attempted to invite Epstein to a political fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in 2015. He also sought coordinates for his boat captain to link up with Epstein in 2012, presumably at his Caribbean island.

The change sparked confusion with hundreds of voters turned away from polling places and sent to the correct precincts, according to Kardal Coleman, the Dallas County Democratic Party chairman. The Texas Supreme Court late Tuesday stayed the earlier court order that had extended voting in Dallas County, ruling that any votes cast by people not in line at 8 p.m. The all-Republican Texas Supreme Court is the court of last resort for civil matters in the state. In previous elections, individuals could cast ballots at any vote center, regardless of their address, under a countywide voting system.

The Iranian women’s national soccer team made quite the statement on Monday night during the opening match of the Women’s Asian Cup, as they refused to sing while their national anthem played over the speakers at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast. The players were in their customary line before their match against South Korea when the Iranian national anthem began to play. During questioning by media on Sunday, Iran women’s national team captain Zahra Ghanbari, alongside Jafari, was asked about Khamenei’s death. However, the women’s national team was allowed to compete in the Asian Cup. Original article source: Iranian women's soccer team refuse to sing national anthem in silent protest at Asian Cup

Advertisement“If I didn’t terminate Obama’s horrendous Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), Iran would have had a Nuclear Weapon three years ago,” he wrote Monday afternoon on his Truth Social platform. You can blame Barack Hussein Obama, and Sleepy Joe Biden. “What most people understand is that they are only complaining BECAUSE I DID IT and, if I didn’t do it, they would be screaming — Why didn’t ‘TRUMP’ attack Iran, he should do it, IMMEDIATELY? There’s nothing surprising about this!”AdvertisementPresident Donald Trump attempted to make his case for the U.S. strikes on Iran this week by deflecting blame back to his predecessors, former President Barack Obama and former President Joe Biden.

Or spiking oil prices worldwide and gasoline prices at home. Oil prices are up 13% since Friday, and gasoline prices jumped 11 cents overnight and now average $3.11 nationally. They were going to attack if we didn’t do it, they were going to attack first. “No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States’ ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) said that Americans are right to be skeptical of the ongoing U.S. military operation in Iran during a Tuesday afternoon appearance on CNN News Central. You know, we know President Trump has been reluctant to embrace war, he campaigned on on avoiding wars, and has a great track record of promoting peace. Further, the IAEA said that there was no imminent threat of Iran developing a nuclear Weapon. So I think I’m going into the briefing hoping to hear the same kind of information President Trump found persuasive. And we’ll see because we’re supposed to vote later this week, and I think, look, the idea that Congress doesn’t vote isn’t unprecedented.

Both the Elon University baseball and softball teams had no-hitters at their respective games on Saturday, Feb. 28, and were highlighted by the Associated Press, Washington Post and MLB.com.

Dew’s perfect game was Elon’s first since 2022.

It's tactile, there's art-work that gets the imagination going, all that is lost when physical gets removed from the equation. There is also the question of ownership on an account, as in digital legacy and termination of rights. Companies can and often do revoke access to or delete digital content when a person dies. Meaning a person could spend decades buying digital content and it can all be gone if that content is revoked. There are no contingencies or systems in place to transfer ownership, once you are gone it too is gone.
