“February 28, 2026” by Heather Cox Richardson
“It’s a given that this sort of vaguely justified attack on another country usually reflects that the leaders in the attacking country are worried about losing power and are launching a war to try to get disaffected people to rally around the flag….Indeed, social media users are already referring to the attack as ‘Operation Epstein Fury,’ suggesting it is an attempt to distract from the frequent appearance of the president’s name in the Epstein files as well as the recent story that the Department of Justice illegally withheld an allegation that Trump raped a thirteen-year-old.”

“The Law of War” by Joyce Vance
“Tonight’s piece isn’t about the hot take of the hour. It’s about the guardrails. We’re talking about first principles — why the rule of law exists, why it restrains all of us (especially the powerful), and why “doing whatever feels good in the moment” has never been a substitute for constitutional order. These aren’t abstract debates. They determine whether we live in a country governed by laws or by impulse.”

democracy is worth saving, but these things can and will be lost
if everyone waits around for someone else.”
~Timothy D. Snyder, American historian
